Chapter 36

LEXI POV

Z and I use our morning run to go to our parents. They live on the outskirts of town; we have to leave the Academy and pass through town to get there. Z suggested we shower when we get there, so we carry extra weight during the run. It makes sense seeing as I will be working today.

Travis will come down with Mei later, and the boys planned to study for a few hours while we were working. The vampire may be gone, but someone is still out there, hiding in the shadows, waiting for the next opportunity.

We start down the gravel path early, leaving the supposed safety of campus.

Kian revealed that the girl should never have been able to pass through the gate. He mentioned something about a safety system that prevented vampires who weren't students or teachers from entering. He still doesn’t know why it didn’t keep her out.

We jog at a leisurely pace at the start.

My muscles and lungs are taking it really well, though my body is already overheating.
