Chapter 94

• Zarek POV
• The walk back to my dorm felt longer than usual. Not because the halls had stretched or because my legs suddenly decided to weigh a ton, but because of the whispers that hadn’t died down since class.
• I didn’t give them the satisfaction of a reaction. If anything, I tossed them smiles, lazy winks, a tilt of the head that made them choke on their own gossip. Let them stare. Let them stew. If my face haunted their thoughts at night, that was their problem, not mine.
