When Micah called him to check on Roman's room, Abel had no idea what to expect. Micah hadn't given him any details, and that alone had left him confused.
No one had been inside Roman Draven's quarters since the day he left, except the students assigned to housekeeping.
So naturally, Abel's first thought was that Roman had returned.
The idea sent a rush of excitement through him. Delighted at the possibility of seeing his Alpha again, Abel had practically run the entire way.
Which was why the shock hit even harder when he pushed open the door. Instead of Roman Draven, two unfamiliar faces stood inside the room.
Abel froze.
Thieves.
That was his immediate conclusion.
