RAVEN POV :
The night was a mess. I knew it. Everything about that trip felt like a ticking time bomb. The second the seniors all started pairing up, I should've known I was on the chopping block. There was no way I was getting a fair deal at this school. I mean, what did I expect? A whole trip designed for senior alpha kids? And where do they stick the omega with no wolf? Right at the back, of course. The sidelines.
So when Alex stepped in and offered to pair up with me, my instincts screamed. What was the point of her kindness? Was it real? Or was she just playing her part in Megan's game? I didn't know. And I didn't want to know.
She kept smiling like everything was normal, like she hadn't been told to buddy up with me for some hidden agenda. She just… smiled. But I wasn't fooled. Not this time. I wasn't the naive girl who would fall for a pretty face and a cute wink.
She had her reasons. She always did.
