If it helps, here’s an email the school sent out about the two students who died. This all happened in the weeks after Sage dropped out.
If you find her, let her know she’s welcome to come back anytime.
Sincerely,
Silas

Dear Umbris University Community,
It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the loss of two of our students this week.
Kaleb Evandell, a fourth-year student in the School of Computer Science, passed away following injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. Kaleb was a member of the Elven Scholars Network and was widely regarded by his peers and professors for his curiosity, kindness, and steady presence in the classroom.
Nellie Delmar, a fourth-year student in the School of Business, was found deceased in her off-campus apartment. The preliminary investigation indicates a possible drug overdose. Nellie, a member of the merfolk community, was known for her creativity, humor, and her contributions to several campus arts organizations.
Counseling and support services are available…
The best friend, the boyfriend… the two people closest to Sage both died shortly after she dropped off the face of Lundaria. Deaths that, at first glance, didn’t appear connected and shouldn’t have been suspicious.
But they did have one thing in common, which begged the question—did Sage kill them to cover her tracks, or was someone pulling her strings, and had killed them to get her in line?
My car roared to life, and I left Sable Mansion as I finally made my way to a bed.

Stuck in a Rut
The scent coming from Sage’s purse was like a voice that whispered in my ear all morning long, and I barely slept despite the exhaustion. I tossed and turned, my cock harder than it had been in ages. Frustration finally won out around noon, and I got up to take matters into my own hands.
Stepping into the shower, I let the warm water wash over my overheated body, fire pumping through my veins. Closing my eyes and taking a firm hold of my dick, I pumped slowly, failing to picture anyone other than Sage. Her sweet perfume was already imprinted in my brain like a memory, and I imagined her perfect hourglass figure below me, her smooth legs wrapped around my hips as I drove into her.
Fuck, I wished I knew what she sounded like. Would her voice be high? Would she squeak like a mouse when I pinched her ass?
Or was it lower, husky and dripping of sex?
Either one or anything in between was fine, I just wanted to hear her screaming my name as she came. As my teeth sank into her neck, claiming her as mine.
I squeezed harder and went faster, my balls tightening as my orgasm neared.
Ronan…
I roared, painting the glass shower door with my release. My chest heaved, and I leaned back and hit the wall behind me, waiting for my muscles to finally relax.
But the dopamine didn’t hit, and I didn’t feel any better. Instead, it was like all I’d done was whet my appetite for a main course that would never arrive.
Oh…
Realization hit me like a rampaging werewolf on a full moon.
I was in a rut.
It all made sense now. I hadn’t slept with someone in so long, the second I’d gotten a whiff of an appealing omega, my hormones kicked in and threatened to turn me into an animal.
Ravaric dammit, this was not the time to be thinking with my dick.
I sighed, angling the shower head to wash off my mess. Maybe I should have taken up that vampire on her offer for a closet quickie, because I wasn’t going to be able to concentrate until I got laid at least a few times.
