Taegan wanted everything to be normal--he wanted his life to stay the same. The academy took that away from him . . . "No, Hazen wake up. Wake up!" He has to find out--he has to know who killed his brother and why. He had to prove that he had been right all those years, for Hazen.
Shyloe had been fine, keeping to herself all those years. The academy forced her to open up, but she swore she'd never trust anyone . . . "That includes Maverick, girl, it includes Maverick. You'll just end up getting hurt." She won't, can't let herself slip up, no matter how trust worthy he may look.
"I got this, Hazen, I can prove they're guilty."
"Everyone will let you down at some point."
