Chapter 28 Poison In The Halls

• Seren’s POV
• The smell of coffee drifted through the kitchen, warm but faint, like even the air was tired.
• Kevin and I sat at the table, still in yesterday’s clothes while Kael lingered a few feet away, his arms crossed, jaw locked, always looming like a storm cloud. Neither of us had slept much. Kevin had tossed and turned until dawn, his eyes raw and puffy, and I had stayed awake listening to every uneven breath.
