Evaline:
Alpha Kieran noticed the masks and the cap in my hands when I returned to the front section of the store. Instead of asking it out loud, he just arched his eyebrows in a silent question.
I hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell him the truth.
"I want to keep my identity hidden," I said, gripping the fabric between my fingers. "At least until I pass the exams and make it into the academy as a student. If one of your brothers is there during the exams, I don't want to risk them recognizing me. The masks and the cap will help with that."
He listened quietly with an unreadable expression on his face. But as I spoke, a new, horrifying thought crashed into me.
How could these masks and cap help me hide? If the brothers were indeed going to be present during the exams, wouldn't there be possibility that they would have lists of the students' names taking the exams?
