THALIA
My heart ticked like a time bomb waiting for the perfect moment to explode. Ryder, Derek, and Mael stood behind me like predators waiting patiently to jump on the prey right in front of them after getting their order from their boss, who was none other than Sage.
There's no doubt what they'll do to me, and I wonder what Sage and Ryder meant by their father wanting to let me off the hook. Was that why I haven't been summoned to receive my punishment yet?
Back to the boys and Lena, I wonder what's going on in their minds as they stared with resentment at me, especially Lena, whose eyes were drilling holes into my skin.
