Books Read In 2018: The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken

   IT’S BEEN two weeks. two weeks of radio silence ( that’s mostly alexandra’s fault because she’s trying to figure out what the hell she’s going to do next ) and it wasn’t fair to abel. she knows that. but, but, she does bribe peter to keep tabs on the said alpha, just to make sure he’s okay  —  she wouldn’t be able to live with herself if something happened to him and they weren’t on good terms. although peter was warned to not ask unnecessary questions and he doesn’t because alexandra’s temper was far more easier to set off these days than it usually was. 

so here she was - biting the bullet, standing in the rain as she tries to figure out what she’s going to say to him. it’s almost like all the practice she had done in the mirror had completely vanished from her memory. convenient. she’s panicking. and she almosts gets back into her car and leave. 

but she doesn’t. instead she walks up the porch’s stairs and gives two soft knocks on his front door. her hands are tucked into her jacket when she takes a step back - humming a low tune to try to calm her nerves. she’s soaked and she’s sure abel will yell at her for driving in a storm and for being drenched - but this was important. 

the she wolf’s face almost immediately lights up when he opens the door before the wave of realization washes over her. she misses him. and it takes everything in her not to close the distance in between them and show him how much she missed him.
