I waited for Magnus until nightfall, but he didn't show up. Regan had left not too long ago, leaving me alone with my thoughts. Maybe Magnus was busy with his duties as king. I understood that being a Lycan King came with responsibilities, but I couldn't help feeling disappointed.
It was my first day of school tomorrow, and I needed to prepare. I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness bubbling inside me. At least Regan would be there with me; it was comforting to know we were both in the final year class together.
I glanced at Owen, who was sleeping soundly on my lap. He had fallen asleep while we were watching TV, his head lolling to the side. Gently, I nudged him awake. "Hey, Owen, time to go inside and sleep in your own bed," I whispered, brushing his hair back.
