Riley’s POV

My whole body went cold.

Then hot.

Then furious.

This was exactly what I had been afraid of all along. Ezra and his endless messy history with girls. All those gorgeous, cheerleader exes. I knew how quick he moved on, and that’s why I kept telling myself not to fall for him like some stupid idiot.

And still, the moment I saw him in the moonlight, my heart had leaped anyway.

What a joke.

I stared at Danica’s hand looped around Ezra’s arm and felt something ugly twist in my chest.

“So he’s your bodyguard?” I avoided Ezra’s gaze and kept my eyes on her. “You don’t ever have the courage to face me yourself.”

He raised an eyebrow. She choked and forced out a smile, “Come on, Riley. You don’t need me to tell you the right from wrong. What you’re doing is very cruel. Inhuman, almost.”

There it was again.

That same fake moral tone from the broadcast.

“So you are here to beg me,” I said coldly.

Her expression turned harsher. “I’m not begging. I’m making demands. Reasonable demands. I believe anyone with a heart would agree with me.”

“You done? The answer is no, I said coldly.

The look on her face changed. That faked smile was gone. “Are you se your hands. How do you sleep at night?”

Camila could die, Riley! And the blood will be on

I folded my arms with a sneer. “Oh I’ll sleep. As long as I remember the ugly looks on you people’s faces when you tried to rob me. And when you tried to blow up my camp. And when you dumped blood on us to get us eaten alive by carrion houpis.”

damage “God you are so petty!” she clenched her fists, looking at me in disbelief. “We didn’t even do any real damage to you. And you’re simply going to let Camila die because of that?”

Then she turned to Ezra, some tears quickly forming in her eyes. “Did you hear that? And she calls herself a healer. She doesn’t possess the kindness and selflessness required of a healer at all.”

I rolled my eyes. “If you are such a great healer, why don’t you heal Camila yourself and save yourself the trip of coming here and begging me?”

Honestly, I didn’t even need the moonleaf to heal Camila’s wound. That tells you how bad Danica was at her works.

Her face went red. “And she is mocking me, Ezra. What-What a monster! You must be outrageous too, am

I was suddenly too afraid to look at Ezra’s face.

Fright?”

Because if I looked at him and saw even one trace of agreement on his face, I honestly didn’t know what I’d do.

“Forget it. I don’t need his commentary.”

I said quickly and turned to leave.

But before I could take two steps, Ezra caught my wrist.

“Let go,” I hissed without looking back.

“We aren’t done here.”

I turned on him at once. “So now what? I have to stand here and listen politely as you and your girlfriend lecture me in the middle of the night—”

He frowned and cut me off at once, “Who says she’s my girlfriend?”

My mouth fell open.

That’s his point?

“I broke up with her before this semester begins. Let’s just be absolutely clear about that.” His eyes searched my face. “Shit, you thought I got back with her? With that hypocrite? You’ve gotta give me more credit than that, Riley.*

I was so lost right now. And Danica started screaming, “Hypocrite?! What are you talking about? I thought—”

“You thought I brought you here to back you up? Hell no,” he glanced back at her, his expression cold with a hint of disgust. “I would never back an entitled idiot like you.”

She staggered back, her face pale with disbelief. “Then-Then why…Ezra I don’t understand…”

He looked down at her like she’s a piece of garbage. “You’re trying to bully someone you think is easier to comer. But I’m telling you now-you picked the wrong girl.”

Then he glanced back at me over his shoulder, and something dangerous flickered in his eyes.

“Riley would never let you have the win. Am I right?” he smiled.

And my heart started doing that dangerous thumping again.

“Why did you bring her here?” I asked in a whisper.

“Because after that garbage on the broadcast, I figured you deserved a chance to vent your anger on someone.” He said idly.” You’re welcome.”

I almost laughed.

The look on Danica’s face was precious. It was a mix of anger, humiliation and shock. She cried, “You used me?! Ezra, how can

you

”

“You know what?” I cur across her voice. “He’s right. I do have some things to say.”

“You don’t have the right-” Danica started.

“No,” I snapped. “You listen now.”

The hurt in my chest was still there, but now it had teeth.

“You don’t get to come here, hide behind Ezra, and talk to me about morality. Not after what your side did. Not after you stood there and watched and definitely not with that attitude.”

Danica’s lips trembled. “I wasn’t hiding behind-

“Yes, you were. You picked the strongest bodyguard you can find and intend to come down here and humiliate me first and bully me into submission,” My voice sharpened. “And you know what’s funniest? He’s not even on your side. So the joke’s on you. ”

Her face went white.

I stepped closer. “So here’s your answer. No, you’re not getting the foonleaf. And if you ever come at me like this again, you’d better hope it’s only my words you have to deal with.”

Danica’s eyes filled with tears.

She looked at Ezra like she still expected him to save her pride somehow.

He didn’t even bother.

“You can fuck off now,” he said to her lazily.

She sucked in a shaky breath. Then she spun around and ran into the trees, one hand covering her mouth.

Well that felt pretty awesome.
