IRIS
“Three days have already gone by.”
The words leave my lips before I can stop them.
Don’t tell me you’re thinking about him again. Daisy tries to nudge me with her elbow as we walk through campus toward class. The morning is bright and soft on our skin, the halls buzz with noise, but all of it feels distant.
“I just thought he’d say something,” I murmur, keeping my gaze straight ahead. “Anything.”
Daisy sighs. “Iris, they’re Lycan princes. It’s not like they punch a clock and show up to college like the rest of us. They’ve got... stuff. Rogue wars. Council meetings. Training. God knows what else.”
“I know,” I say, but I don’t feel like I know.
Because the truth is, I haven’t just been waiting for Adrian’s help.
I’ve been impatient. Restless.
I wanted to see Daria
