Evaline:
I hadn't meant to eavesdrop. But enhanced hearing had its perks... and curses.
I slowed my steps even before I realized it.
"…seriously, it's embarrassing."
An unfamiliar voice whispered.
"She was gone for a whole week. And you are telling me it's just for work?"
"You know what's the worst part about all this? That Draven isn't even here to see her behaving like a literal pick-me around everyone of importance."
I froze.
One glance down the dark aisle and I found three fourth-year girls clustered together not far from the end of the aisle, talking about... me.
"Honestly," another one scoffed, "the moment Draven left, she started acting completely out of control."
Out of control?
I arched an eyebrow.
"She's been cozying up to Alpha Thorne and Headmaster Thorne like they are prizes."
"And Instructor Thorne," the third added. "Don't forget him."
A soft laugh followed.
"As if the four Thorne brothers weren't enough, now she's eyeing Alpha Grey too."
