have a clue what she was up to but judging from the look of fear in his eyes, he was quickly catching on.

“Don’t do this,” he begged.

“You going to let me walk out of here or not?” she questioned.

“Fine,” he spat. “Just stop this charade.” She smiled and released him, quickly walking down the hallway to the stairs. Eden turned back to wink at him and he just shook his head at her. Yeah—she was pretty sure that poor guy would take some getting used to women in the future. He was in for a rude awakening—she almost felt bad for him.

Eden hurried across campus, wishing she had her cellphone or some way to contact the guys, but it didn’t exist yet. Heck, she didn’t exist yet. She found Anson standing on the edge of the tree line waiting for her.

“About bloody time,” he grumbled. “I was starting to get worried. Duff is in the woods, standing watch for your aunt. I thought for sure that your spell sent us back to the past but not you and we’d be stuck here.”

“Well, I had to teach some asshole a lesson on how to treat women. I think it will help him in the future, but he didn’t look like he completely understood what was happening—poor guy,” she teased.

Anson shook his head at her, “Bloke probably didn’t know what that hell to do about you.” He pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead. “I feel like I haven’t seen you in thirty years,” he teased. His corny joke made her giggle.

“Very funny,” she breathed. “Did we get here in time? Is Bianca still alive?”

“Yep,” Anson said. “Duff has eyes on her now—I’m still linked with him. I was worried that my powers wouldn’t work in this time, since we haven’t been born yet, but they do. I can read everyone’s thoughts and hopefully, we’ll be able to figure out who’s doing this. Whomever it is, they’re alive in this time and ours, and I’m betting that he or she is a shifter.”

“Great—so we’re looking for a young/old man or woman who may or may not be a shifter. Piece of cake,” she teased.

“You two going to stand around all day or do you plan on actually helping me keep watch?” Duff asked, walking out of the woods. He pulled Eden into his arms for a quick kiss. “Glad to see you got here safely, Baby.”

“Yes, sorry it took me a little longer than I planned to get here. I woke up in just my bra and panties and had to borrow some of my dad’s clothes.”

“Makes sense,” Duff said. “We woke up in our boxers. Maybe next time we plan to time travel, we should dress accordingly before we fall asleep. Seems we woke up here wearing what we fell asleep in.”

“Where did you two find clothes?” she asked.

“Stole them from some bloke’s dorm room,” Anson said. “Caught us red-handed and we had to knock him out.”

“So much for any of us going unnoticed,” she grumbled.

“Tell me you didn’t run into your father,” Duff said.

“No,” she said. “I ran into some guy in the hall on my way out. Apparently, Graystone Hall was an all-male dormitory and had very strict rules about women spending the night. Luckily, I didn’t have to knock the guy out who found me,” she teased. “I just threatened to make everyone in that dorm believe that I was being attacked by him. He let me go after I started screaming.”

“That’s our girl,” Anson said.

“Hey—isn’t that Bianca?” Duff asked, pointing to the beautiful brunette she remembered so well from the pictures her mother showed her. Her aunt was a stunner and her mother said that Eden looked like her, even though she was having a hard time seeing it now.

“That is her—but who’s that with her?” Bianca was with a tall man and she looked to be willingly holding hands with him. “That’s not your father, is it?” Eden asked.

“No, it’s not,” Duff said. “Didn’t Glory say that Bianca was seeing our father behind your father’s back?” he asked.

“That’s the story I remember,” Eden said. “But the letter we found in your father’s office said she wouldn’t wait forever for him. She threatened to move on without him unless he contacted her. Maybe she’s moved on with that guy.” Bianca smiled up at the guy and damn if she didn’t look happy to be with him.

“From the looks of it, my aunt was two-timing your father,” Eden breathed. Her aunt and the guy disappeared into the woods and Eden panicked.

“Why does that guy look so familiar?” Duff asked.

“It’s Head Master Simmons,” Anson whispered.

“Shit,” Duff breathed. “You’re right, it is. He must have been teaching here when father was a student at Graystone.”

“So, my aunt is having an affair with a teacher?” she asked. “She’s only a first-year student. Is that even allowed?”

“It’s not allowed in our time and I have a feeling it’s not allowed now. That’s why they are sneaking off to the woods,” Anson said. “We need to go in after them.” He turned to his brother. “Isn’t Head Master Simmons a wolf shifter?” he asked.

Duff nodded to his brother and Eden felt her stomach sink. “Oh God,” she breathed. “He’s in our time too. What if he’s the one who’s killing girls at Graystone?” she asked.

“We need to find out,” Duff said. He grabbed Eden’s hand and Anson took the other one. “Stay close to us,” he ordered. “If we have to shift, stay out of the way. Find a good hiding place and stay put.” Eden nodded and followed them into the woods.

“There they are,” she whispered, pointing to a big oak tree. Head Master Simmons had her aunt pushed up against a tree and was kissing his way down the column of Bianca’s neck. “Are my aunt’s eyes purple?” she asked. Bianca’s eyes looked as though they were glowing purple.

“Yes,” Anson agreed. “I believe they are.” Her aunt pushed Head
