When I pull back, Liam looks at me wide-eyed and quite happy.
It’s at this moment that Aryanna chooses to appear next to us again. “Please, don’t tell me you are going to jump each other again,” she says, covering her eyes.
“You came in just in time,” Liam says evenly.
When I return home, I feel giddy and joyful. I feel closer to Liam and more confident in my own skin.
Did you reach your room without any incidents?
I smile.This mind link thing seems to be more tiresome than anything else.
So, did you?
His wolf really isn’t particularly humorous.Yes,I close the door behind me, blinking slightly when I see an envelope on the ground. I pick it up.Nothing happened. I just returned to my room.
Good.To my amusement, he sounds genuinely relieved.Good night, my dear.
I open the envelope absent-mindedly, revealing several photos. For a moment, I can only stare at them in surprise.Good night.I manage to mutter before Liam might notice something.
It’s photos… of me. It takes a while to sink in, a long while of me staring at the pics in my hand. One from when I was washing my clothes in the laundry room in the cellar. Alone. Me walking down a street at night. Then one in the cafeteria. One where I am leaving Liam’s car. The last one scares me the most because it’s a photo of me in my room. It’s a picture of me in my own room here in the dorm.
I spin around in horror, eyeing my surroundings. A feeling of dread settles inside me.

Chapter 11 Siblings in trouble
*LIAM*
WhenIarriveatthe packhouse, the atmosphere is strained. “What happened?” I ask once I stumble upon my sister Aurelia and a bunch of young wolves, the group she normally hangs out with. They look quite roughed up. Most of them have scratches and bruises on their arms and faces. The toughest of them all, Nox, has a bad scratch across his cheek. I frown. “You got into a fight?”
“In the restaurant we went to,” Aurelia admits.
“You got into a fight in public?” I ask in disbelief.
Again, I am greeted with silence until Aurelia shakes her head. She has always been really honest; I have to give her that much. She never lies to gain herself an advantage. Goes by the credo of ‘I did it-I’ll pay for it’.
“One of the wolves there tried to get into Aurelia’s and Tori’s pants,” Nox explains grumpily.
“I can defend my pants on my own,” Aurelia hisses, and there is no doubt from anyone here that she can. Tori is another issue, though… She is a shy she-wolf who doesn’t really know how to fight well.
“And then?” I demand to know. “Did someone push themselves on Tori? Did she get hurt?” I look around, not seeing her anywhere. If someone puts their sleazy hands on her, I will pay them a visit.
Terry, her twin brother, shakes his head a bit. “The guys were drunk, and I sent Tori home.”
I wait for more explanation to come.
“That’s it?” My frown grows. “So, some drunk dudes hit on my sister and Tori, ending in a major fistfight?”
“They just threw a few comments at Tori and me,” Aurelia finally enlightens me with the truth. “I told them to shut up, and… maybe said a few vulgar things. We don’t need to elaborate further. Then they started to provoke us, and we provoked them back. Things escalated.”
Oh goddess, make it rain brain cells tonight. “So, you all just wanted to get into a fight, am I right?”
Teenage wolves with Beta and Alpha blood in them… and driven by hormones. Fantastic. There is a reason we don’t take our fights into public. “Are you stupid? What if your wolves came to the surface?” I ask them, horrified by the potential disaster that could have ensued there. “Did you consider what would have happened had you hurt one of the humans there? Did none of you think of any consequences?”
They flinch.
“Not you too,” Aurelia groans. She is the only one completely unfazed by my anger. “We know, I promise, we know. Dad was so pissed.”
