Justin and I had just finished breaking our pack bond. I thought it would be painful, but all I felt was relief. Relief knowing that I wouldn't have to face that horrible school any more. Relief knowing that I would be sisters with my best friend. Relief knowing that my parents would be far behind me. I smiled as the memory of what happened after lunch played in my head.
When Tessa told me that she was leaving Big Thicket, I could feel my heart break. My best friend was leaving me behind. I could feel my eyes welling up with tears. If she left me, Snow and the others would be merciless. I shook my head trying to clear it. But the harder I shook my head, the more the tears fell. I didn't realize how hard I was sobbing till I felt a warm hand on my shoulder and my grief floated away
