The floor we were on wasn’t that high. The brown wolf landed in a dumpster, which cushioned its fall. The next second, it scrambled to its feet and made a run for it, disappearing into the night.
“Go after him,” Caleb commanded.
The next second, Carlos jumped down from the window, taking off in the direction the brown wolf had run.
A hush fell over the room.
Now that the danger was over, my adrenaline wore off and my Legs went Limp.
Caleb caught me. As he carried me over to the bed, he asked in confusion, “What the hell was that? Why’d that guy want to kill you?”
“He said that he was from the Silver Ridge Pack,” I answered bitterly. I was no longer shocked, just heavy-hearted.
Caleb, on the other hand, was stunned. He probably didn’t expect that what had happened that year would have such a far-reaching impact on me. With an incredulous look, he asked, “They’re still chasing you because of what happened that night?”
“I guess,” I said with a shrug.

He seemed to find it so ridiculous. After a long silence, he muttered in a low voice, “Eduardo hates me so much that he’d kill you? This is bullshit!”
I also found it a little strange. My father might’ve wanted to get rid of me, the source of his humiliation, but how did the killer come so quickly?
Did Colin tell them that I was here?
“This has gone too far. You’re in danger. To ensure your safety, you have to move in to the room next to mine right now,” Caleb insisted stubbornly.
This time, however, I didn’t refuse him.
Although I hated the idea of Living so close to him, he was right. I’d be safer there.
However, when I was following him to his room, Janiya happened to come out of hers.
“Stay here. I’ll come running if anything happens,” Caleb said, opening the door for me as though he didn’t notice Janiya standing there.
“What’s going on?” Janiya demanded, wide-eyed in confusion and anger. She walked to us, her high heels clicking against the floor. “Why are you letting this woman move in to the room right next to yours? I never agreed to this!”
“Do I need your permission?” Caleb shot back, not even sparing a glance at her.
Janiya’s jaw went slack. It seemed she couldn’t believe this was happening. Her eyes darted between me and him, and she was clearly too angry to say a word.
She then stood in front the door to the room, refusing to let me in. et out of the way.” Caleb’s expression turned icy-cold.
Janiya crossed her arms over her chest stubbornly. She stood her ground in front of the door, refusing to move a muscle.
