“Professor Daniels' name,” Evangeline says. “It's Aggie. You keep calling her Maggie.”

Skye nods.

Maybe because I'm tired.

Maybe because Grimm disappeared.

Maybe because my Wolf disappeared.

Maybe because I'm finally starting to understand that being nice doesn't require letting people stomp all over me.

“Actually, no. We don’t have shared pet names, Coach Williams. My name is Aggie Daniels,” I say.

Coach looks at me. And he is pissed.
