After Yorick leaves to get my phone, a nurse comes in with the food that the others left for us. | have her set it

aside as | think through the realization that others now know about Yorick being my mate.

There was a reason | didn't want others to know. If my father hears about it, he'll do everything in his power to

gethome. He won't riskbreaking the alliance agreement by lettingstay here a year with Yorick.

The thought of having to leave here, of never seeing Yorick again, makeswant to vomit. | know | haven't

known him long, but he's everything I've ever wanted in a mate. And honestly, | doubt he'd letgo without a

fight, and that would mean war.

'We're not going home," Rina says quietly. I'm pretty sure her voice is only soft because she's tired and working

hard to heal me, not because she's not feeling ferocious about this. She, unlike me, was thrilled that our mates

protected us by killing that other student when he attacked us.

'Rina, what are we going to do?’ | ask her. | know that there's no way I'll ever be able to go back hand be

with Stellan after having a year with Yorick. It's been less than a week and | already feel like he's ruinedfor

any other man.

"We're going to use this tto find a legal way out of this alliance. We didn't enter into this alliance and even

though our father is the Alpha, he shouldn't have the legal right to bind us in an agreement such as this," she

says more forcefully.

"Have | mentioned that | love you more than anything in the world?’ | ask her, smiling.

'l love you too, my human. We will figure this out and we are NOT going home. Not yet, anyway."

| sigh, letting Rina's words settle in my head just as Yorick walks in carrying my phone.

"Oh good, the food's here. Did you eat anything yet?" he asks me, handingmy phone.

"No, not yet. | wanted to talk to my dad first, get that over with."

He was turning to get the food, but he stops, putting his hands on my face and holding my gaze. "It's going to be

okay, Cyra. No matter what happens, it's going to be okay. You don't have to handle this alone. I'll be by your

side."

He leans forward and gently presses his lips to mine. It's impossible to resist the pull of the mate bond when |

can feel the tingles everywhere his body touches mine. | cup his hand in mine, as | respond to his kiss. He

doesn't let it get out of hand, before he pulls back, resting his forehead against mine.

"You'll never be alone again, Cyra. | promise," he says, and | can hear how heartfelt his words are. | want to

believe him, | really do, but until | have a way out of this alliance bond, I can't let myself get too hopeful.

"You call your father, and I'll get our food ready," he says, stepping back.

| sigh and pick up my phone, pressing the number to call my father.

"Cyra?" he says, picking up on the first ring.

"Hey, Dad,"

"How are you, Cyra? | knew you going to that Academy was a bad idea."

"I'm fine, Dad. Rina is healing me. I'll be released tomorrow and I'll be back in Sparring class before the end of

the week."

"Stellan and | have been worried sick about you," he says, and | glace at Yorick. His eyes meet mine for the

briefest of moments before he continues getting our food spread out. "He was practically on his way to get you

and bring you home, Cyra."

Now Yorick DOES stop to look at me.

"You did stop him, right dad?" | ask.

"When the doctor said you'd be able to continue, | told him to hold off, but he's waiting to hear fromtonight.

Just say the word, Cyra. We'll bring you home."

"Really, Dad, I'm fine. I've already made sfriends here and the guy who putin the hospital has been.....

handled." Best not to mention that he's dead. | don't want to open that can of worms.

Yorick finally turns back to the food, putting two trays together, one forand one for him.

"Are you sure, Cyra?" he asks me.

"wouldn't have applied to the Academy if | didn't intend to finish, Dad. If I'm capable, I'm going to finish what |

started. Dr. Johnston says I'm capable, so I'm doing it," | say firmly.

He huffs on the other end of the line. "How did | get such a stubborn daughter?"

"| guess | take after my father," | say, sarcastically.

He's quiet on the other end, probably not happy with my snarky tone.

"Get srest. Calltomorrow and letknow what the doctor says and if you've been released."

"Will do. Bye, Dad."

"Good night, Cyra."

I hang up and Yorick slides the tray of food in front of me.

"You don't tell your father that you love him?" he asks me.

| shrug. "Not really. Do you?"

"All the time. My family would stare atlike | had mortally offended them if | didn't tell them I loved them

every t| spoke to them,” he says, sitting down and tapping my tray of food, silently tellingto eat.

"That's not weird for you?" | ask, realizing that he's laid out the food,to make it easy forto try different things

to see what | feel like eating. I look at his tray and see that he's givenmore than he's taken for himself.

"It was weird forNOT hearing you say it. Maybe brothers."

"Well, my family has never been like that," | say, keeping it vague.

"Why are we keeping this a secret from our mate?' Rina asks me.

| look at Yorick as he devours his food like he hasn't eaten in years. He's given me

too much and there's not enough left for him. Luckily, I'm not very hungry.

It would only make him want us more, | tell her.

And that's a bad thing, why?" she asks.

"Are you really so anxious to start a war, Rina? You know that's what it will come

to unless we can find slegal way to break the alliance bond."

Yorick and Thad would fight with us, she grumbles.

"What's going on in that head of yours, beautiful?" Yorick asks, pullingout of

my conversation with Rina.

"Just... thinking about family."

"You need to eat. Rina needs to get her strength up so you can leave the hospital tomorrow," he says.

"Well, | can't eat all of this. You gave
