Chapter 405 Oriana: “I’m so happy,” I told Miss Rue once we were alone in the Blue Squad’s room. They decided to place me alone because that was what I requested. I told them I was so traumatized that I did not want to be around anyone. I had seen
Chapter 404 Oriana: I had been standing in front of everyone like a perfect victim, and honestly, I was beginning to feel anxious. Everyone looked at me with sweet, sympathetic eyes until Clementine’s name was mentioned, and that moment shattered me. Even if this whole thing were real, even if
Chapter 403 Yorick: “I need to speak with my parents,” I screamed, kicking and striking the bars. I turned around and looked at the cage. This was probably where the ones who never wanted to be part of the academy had stayed. Maybe this was where Clementine used to be.
Chapter 402 Clementine: “What did you say? Miss Rue will be waiting for us?” I asked him. He nodded steadily, almost carefully, as if afraid of what I might say. “She is the one who asked me to go look for you,” he replied, still holding his hands under my
Chapter 401 Clementine: A sense of familiarity hit me once someone pressed their lips against mine. I knew someone had scooped me up, and from the comfort of his arms alone, I knew who it was. However, I had been through so much in the last two days that the
Chapter 400 Ian: Going to the North by train was one thing. I was always prepared for that. But stepping into it like this, straight from clean air, felt different. It felt wrong. “Look around. She must be here,” Miss Rue shouted, as if Clementine would be sitting nearby. I
Chapter 399 Clementine: After a while, I transitioned back into my human form and sat on the edge of the road. I did not even know what I had gone through in the last few hours. I only knew that I had lost my mind, that I had been so
Chapter 398 Ian: Something about the whole situation felt off. Ever since we heard what Yorick had done, none of us could properly gather our thoughts. I did not even know if defending Yorick was the right thing to do. “I cannot believe this,” Haiden muttered as we walked down
Chapter 397 Rue: I arrived after the chaos had already started. The other ringleaders were still on the premises. They had been avoiding Ian and the Crusaders, but now that everything had erupted, they had to step forward and keep the Crusaders calm. Yorick had been taken away to the
Chapter 396 Oriana: “What if you use that video against me even after I help you?” I asked, crossing my arms. “Then we will both be in the video,” she replied. “I will only use it if I have no other choice, meaning if you back out of killing Clementine
Chapter 395 Oriana: A Few Hours Ago: “Yes, Miss Rue?” I asked her while following her. She looked like she was not pleased about something and my heart already started to pound in my chest. “Come with me,” she instructed, continuing to gesture for me to follow her. I did
Chapter 394 Yorick: Flashback: “You’re going to the academy,” my mother stated, sitting with me and holding my hand. I began to frown. I had no clue why this was happening. I thought only kids who were troubled or had issues went there. “You want me to go to the
Chapter 393 Yorick: We were headed to the hall to speak to the ringleaders and find out what was going on with Clementine and why she was not back yet. In the middle of it, we were stopped when their head squad appeared in front of us. They instantly shook
Chapter 392 Ian: “She should have been back by now,” I muttered, fisting my palm. Ever since I had returned, I had told my squadmates everything. I did not know if they even believed me at this point, but I had to say it. However, there was not much we
Chapter 391 Oriana: I had not been able to do anything because of the alphas and their scrutinizing eyes always on me. They watched me as if they were afraid I would once again do something to hurt their perfect little princess. It was already angering. I knew once she
Chapter 390 Rue: The watch was in my hand now. I had the power. I never thought it would be this easy to fool that little girl, but after today, I would no longer look at myself in the mirror and feel like I had failed my sister. That thought
Chapter 389 Clementine: I kept watching her face, and she kept staring back at me. Then I remembered. She had told me her sister had died because of the Academy, and it all hit me at once. My expressions must have shown her that I remembered because Miss Rue began
Chapter 388 Clementine: “It’s okay, I’ll go fetch it,” I said quickly. I knew where I had been when I was reading the map, so it would be quick. However, she began to hand me a flashlight through the small opening. “Thank you so much,” I told her, grabbing the
Chapter 387 Clementine: His thin, tall body leaned forward, his head stretched up like a long pole with empty lines where his face should have been. His arms hung low, but I could tell, even without his face, that he was looking at me. I was sprinting toward him, and
Chapter 386 Clementine: The fog inside the castle made it hard to see more than a few steps ahead. I lifted my hand to push the mist aside, but it slipped through my fingers. The entrance hall was huge and wide. I wondered how many rooms there could be, so
