Rhett
We trudged out of Vale's office in silence.
I've never felt so helpless like I do now, and from the expression on Slater and Kael's faces, I could tell they've been crushed, too.
Outside the administrative building, the air felt colder.
None of us spoke. Kael walked off toward the training grounds without saying a word to any of us or looking back. Slater shoved his hands in his pockets and walked the other way towards his dorm.
I stood there for a moment, staring at nothing and then turned towards the direction of my own house.
An hour later, I arrived at my house. My security details, who were in charge of driving me around, were out in front, joking about something. The moment they saw me, they all stilled before they ran to me.
"Alpha Rhett? What happened? I'm sorry, but did you try calling?"
"No!" I shook my head, brushing past them. "I wanted to clear my head, and the walk did me good."
