ASHER
The mandatory full moon run was at nine PM.
Every student was required to attend and there were no exceptions.
I stood in my dorm staring at my reflection, trying to figure out how the fuck I was going to survive the next few hours. My skin was flushed, my pupils were blown wide, sweat dampened my hairline despite the cold shower I'd just taken and the pain.
Goddess, the pain was so intense I could barely stand upright. I pressed my hand to my abdomen and took a shuddering breath.
I could skip the run, fake being sick, lock myself in my room and pray Reed couldn't break down the door but the Dean had been clear. Mandatory meant mandatory. Missing the full moon run meant expulsion and if I was expelled, I'd lose my scholarship, my future and everything.
I had no other choice than to go.
