Bound (Evergreen Academy, #3)

by Ruby Vincent

“This is my third year here, and in my first, I was marked because I saw something I shouldn’t. Ever since, I’ve been harassed, taunted, bullied, and almost killed three times. Four seventeen-year-old boys rule this school. They are the Knights and everyone is afraid to go against them. Behind the scenes are the Spades, and they strike even more fear. This school is way more than a pretentious hellhole. It’s like nowhere you’ve ever been before, or will ever be.”

I want to be with you. I’ve always wanted to be with you, and I fucking hated every minute of you being marked.”

I was addicted to all of them for so many different reasons. The way Jaxson made me laugh and kissed me until I couldn’t breathe. Or curling up with Maverick with my head on his chest while his heart beat in my ear. Or sitting with Ezra on the roof while we talked about things we couldn’t tell anyone else.

The sun had set on the village by the time we decided to head home. Adam snoozed on Ryder’s shoulder and every time I looked at them, I smiled. This was the best Christmas Eve I ever had too.

“Val, we— We’ve been marked,” he forced out. “The Knights have all been marked.”
