How do you proceed when there's a crazy werewolf killer who just might be after you?  I knew I couldn't go home, the last thing I needed was for Aurora to find out that my mother might be involved also. The sheriff was still not answering his phone, I debated going to the station but it was stranded when I drove past. I dialed Caleb's number but there was no answer. I was in full blown panic mode.

Why hadn't Aurora killed me right then and there? Maybe she's not as sure as I thought she was. What was in the documents that she put in her purse?

My phone rang and I answered it without checking the caller ID.

"Sheriff?"

"What? No it's Matt."

I sighed," Matt, what do you want?"

"We need to talk, you need to tell me what's going on."

"Now is really not a great time."

"I haven't seen you in almost a week, you haven't been to class, I deserve to know the truth!"

I paused for a moment," have Kyla and Holden told you anything?"

"They haven't said anything but they've been weird lately. I got a new phone for Kyla and was able to back up some of her old text messages. When I told her, she freaked out and said to shut the phone till she comes to get it."

"That's because she doesn't want you reading the text messages."

"I know, and I would never invade her privacy, I was just looking for some clarity since nobody will tell me anything."

"You need to look through those text messages Matt," I finally said with a heavy heart. I have no idea why I felt as if I was betraying Kyla.

"What?" He sounded surprised," I can't do that."

"Yes you can, the ones between her and Holden."

"Are you serious?"

I didn't answer. I was thinking of where I was going to stay the night. I couldn't go home and put my mother at risk, I couldn't go to Caleb's since that would be the first place the rogues go to look. No one would go looking for me at Matt's.

"Matt, can I stay the night tonight?"

"Why?"

"I'll explain when I get there but it's urgent, please?"

"I don't know how Kyla will feel about it-"

"Once you read those messages you wouldn't care anymore, trust me."

He paused and then,"Yeah, I guess."

"Thank you, I'll be there in thirty minutes."

I got to Matt's house with the hopes that no one was following me. It was around eight pm when I knocked on his door and the look on his face when he answered told me that he knew everything. I smiled sadly at him.

"You read them?"

"The phone only loaded two months worth of stuff, the rest is loading."

"There's more."
