Shannon’s POV The weight of the students’ judgment weighed down on me as I stood there in the aftermath of my stepbrothers’ intervention. But unable to withstand the scrutiny any longer, I clutched my burger and fries still wrapped in fast-food packaging, abandoning the untouched milkshake on the table. Bowing my head in shame, I walked across the cafeteria, feeling like a lone wanderer in a hostile territory. Their eyes burned into my back as I walked out.

What a stubborn little wolf.”Jules chimed in, “You’d think she’d be grateful we’re even offering her a ride.”Ignoring their attempts to bait me, I muttered to myself, “I’d rather take a cab.”Ricky, who had slowed the car to match my steps, sighed with evident frustration. “Shannon, Dad instructed us to take you home. Just get in.”I shook my head, refusing to acknowledge their control over me. “I’m not interested. I’ll get a cab.”Cole’s voice turned taunting, “Oh, come on, Shannon. We won’t bite… much.”Jules

Today was no exception as we stopped at a quiet park.As the car halted near a large tree, my heart sank.

The park had tall trees lined at the edges beside the familiar path we took to school. In the breezy fi
