Meluna Hounding. I glare at the empty space beside me and check the time again. Where is he? Shouldn't Roan be back by now? The urge to call him itches in my palm, but I refuse. I won't have him thinking I'm some anxious little mate who can't handle a single night alone, especially when my brother is with him. I don't even know where they are, but I'm not a fool. I know it's no tea party. It's two hours to sunrise, and the silence is serious. At least Josh is there; he'll tell me the truth. But do I have to fall asleep before he returns? I force my eyes shut, trying to sleep for what feels like the thousandth time. I am not excited for him to come back. I'm not. I repeat but it’s a lie. Suddenly, the door opens. I'm out of bed in an instant, forgetting I’m supposed to be nonchalant.
