Kaira:
“How come the assessment day is in a week’s time?”
The words tumbled out of my mouth before I could stop them. My voice cracked, betraying the fear I was trying so desperately to hide.
A week. Only a week?
My hands trembled beneath the table, as I clenched them into fists, nails digging into my palms.
Aven finally looked up from his phone, his icy cold glare fixated on me, it made my blood run cold.
“If you flunk the assessment tests, I won’t hesitate to kick you out of the RedMoon pack for good this time. Do you understand me?” His voice was flat, devoid of emotion.
Cassian chuckled, the sound dripping with mockery. He pushed back his chair and stood, not even bothering to hide his contempt.
“Well. I’ve lost my appetite. This breakfast is suddenly very unappetizing.”
