I carefully took the small piece of paper Kai had given me, smoothing out the edges before typing Selina’s number into my phone. I double-checked to make sure I had entered it correctly, then pressed the call button.

The phone rang twice before she picked up.

“Hello?” Her voice was polite but cautious, like she wasn’t sure who was calling.

“It’s me, Lily,” I said quickly, hoping she would recognize me.

For a moment, there was silence, and then her tone completely changed. “Lily! Oh my gosh, it’s so good to hear from you! How are you?” Her voice was warm, full of genuine excitement.

A small smile tugged at my lips. “I’m good! I hope I’m not bothering you.”

“Of course not! What’s up?”

I shifted on the bed, gripping the phone a little tighter, my fingers pressing into the cool metal. “I actually need your help,” I admitted, tucking a stray strand of hair behind my ear. “The planning committee put me in charge of flowers and decorations for the Moon Festival, but I don’t know any florists

    The car drove smoothly down the road, and I watched as the scenery changed. Trees lined the streets, their leaves swaying gently in the breeze. The houses we passed were big and elegant, each one looking more expensive than the last. After a while, the car slowed down and turned into a long driveway leading to a large, beautiful house. My eyes widened as I took in the sight. The house was massive, with tall windows and a grand entrance that looked like something out of a magazine. The walls were painted a soft cream color, and a neatly trimmed garden surrounded the front yard, filled with colorful flowers. It was the kind of place that made you stop and stare. The driver pulled up in front of the house and parked smoothly. He turned off the engine, then stepped out to open the door for me. I quickly grabbed my phone and slid it into my pocket before stepping out. “Thank you,” I said, offering him a small smile. He gave me a polite nod before getting back into the car. As he drove

    Selina picked up her phone from the counter and quickly dialed a number. I watched as she spoke to the florist, her voice warm and confident. She laughed at something he said before nodding, even though he couldn’t see her. After a moment, she hung up and turned to me with a smile. “Elliot is on his way. He said he’d be here in about fifteen minutes.” I nodded, still processing the fact that the florist was a man. I didn’t know why it caught me off guard—maybe because I had always pictured florists as women. But of course, there was no rule saying men couldn’t do the job just as well. I shook off the thought, not wanting to sound narrow-minded. Meanwhile, Sophia finished placing the last batch of cookies into the oven. The scent of warm chocolate filled the air, making my stomach growl softly. She wiped her hands on a towel, then turned to look at us. “All done,” she announced, smiling. “These should be ready in about fifteen minutes.” Selina gave her daughter a fond look before

    I nodded and followed her, my mind still stuck on everything she had just said. The pain in her voice, the way her hands had trembled—it all stayed with me.We reached the front door, and Selina pulled it open. A tall, blonde man stood outside with a bright smile on his face. His blue eyes sparkled with warmth, and he looked effortlessly charming in a simple white button-up shirt and dark jeans.I could already tell this was Elliot before Selina even said his name.“Lily, this is Elliot,” she introduced.Elliot stepped forward and held out his hand. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Lily.” His voice was smooth, friendly.I shook his hand, noticing how firm his grip was. “Nice to meet you too, Elliot.”He didn’t stop smiling as he looked at me, his gaze lingering a little longer than expected. “I have to say, you are absolutely stunning.”Heat crept up my cheeks. I wasn’t used to random compliments like that, and I glanced at Selina, who just smirked knowingly.“Come on,” she said, waving f

    Climbing into the car, I carefully placed the platter on my lap, making sure it wouldn’t slide around during the ride. As the driver closed the door and walked around to get into the front seat, I pulled out my phone, debating whether to text Kai.Instead, I just leaned my head against the cool glass of the window, watching as the car pulled away from the house. The trees blurred past, the golden light of the setting sun casting long shadows across the road.A strange sense of peace washed over me. Today had been productive, and I had really enjoyed spending time at Selina’s place. The warm atmosphere, the laughter, and even the smell of freshly baked cookies had made me feel at home. It had been a nice distraction from everything that had been on my mind lately.The car moved smoothly down the familiar road leading back to Kai’s mansion. The sky had darkened slightly, the golden hues of sunset fading into soft purples and blues. I sighed, hugging the platter of cookies closer to my c

    The fact that Kai didn’t come after me felt like a blade sinking into my chest. It wasn’t just the betrayal that hurt—it was his silence. His inaction.If he had cared, if I had meant anything to him at all, he would have followed me. He would have tried to explain, to tell me I hadn’t just imagined the fragile connection we had been building. But he didn’t.He stayed.With her.The realization made my stomach churn, a sick feeling crawling up my throat. I wrapped my arms around myself as if I could hold my breaking heart together. The garden, which had always been a place of peace, now felt too quiet, too empty. The scent of flowers, once comforting, was now cloying, making my head spin.I sank onto the nearest bench, my legs barely holding me up. My hands trembled as I pressed them against my stomach, a protective instinct kicking in. The baby. Our baby. The child growing inside me—a child who had no idea what kind of world they were coming into. A world where their father didn’t ev

    I stared at my reflection in the bathroom mirror, my hands gripping the edge of the sink as I took slow, shaky breaths. My eyes were swollen, rimmed with red, and my face was blotchy from all the crying. No matter how much I tried to steel myself, the pain still clung to me, a dull ache in my chest that refused to fade.I turned on the faucet, letting the cold water run before cupping it in my hands and splashing it onto my face. The chill shocked my skin, grounding me in the present. I repeated the action a few more times, feeling the tightness in my face ease slightly. Then, I grabbed a small towel, wetting it with the cold water before pressing it against my puffy eyes. The cool fabric soothed the sting, giving me a moment of relief.I breathed deeply, counting in my head.One. Two. Three.I needed to pull myself together.Zara was probably expecting me to lock myself in my room, drowning in my own misery. She would want me to be broken, shattered beyond repair.But I refused to gi

    Across the table, Zara laughed at something, her voice ringing through the dining room like a bell. My grip on my fork tightened. I didn't need to look to know she was probably leaning into Kai, whispering in his ear like she always did. Maybe she was reminding him of what happened in his office earlier.The thought made my stomach twist, but I refused to show it.Instead, I turned to Rhys with a bright smile and nudged his arm, trying my best to focus on something other than the heavy gaze burning into me.“So, how was your trip to the other packs? Were you able to invite them all for the Moon Festival?” I asked, keeping my voice light.Rhys glanced at me, his expression shifting slightly before he nodded. “Yeah, most of them agreed to come. A few were hesitant, but I managed to convince them.”I tilted my head, curious. “Why were they hesitant?”He shrugged, picking at his food. “Some still aren’t sure about alliances. Old grudges, past betrayals—you know how it is. But I explained

    We headed for the door together, but as we passed by Kai's chair, I felt it—a light, fleeting touch of his hand brushing against mine. My heart jumped, and for a split second, I almost froze. But I forced myself to keep walking, refusing to look back. I couldn’t afford to give him the satisfaction of knowing that one small touch still had that much power over me.Once we were out in the hallway, I let out a shaky breath, finally allowing myself to feel the impact of the evening. My heart was still pounding, and my hands were a little clammy. Rhys must have noticed because he gently squeezed my shoulder."You good?" he asked, concern flickering in his eyes.I nodded, though it wasn’t entirely the truth. "Yeah. Just... exhausted, I guess."He gave me a small smile. "That’s understandable. You’ve had a rough few days."It was time to go to sleep and I couldn’t bear the thought of sleeping in Kai’s room or my room. Biting my lip, I hesitated before asking, "Hey, um... would it be okay if

    Finally, he stepped aside, and I hurried past him, not daring to look back. I needed to get as far away from him as possible before I completely broke down. My chest felt tight, and my eyes stung, but I refused to cry in front of him.As I walked down the path leading away from the house, I forced myself to take deep, calming breaths. The morning air was cool against my skin, and the soft rustling of leaves overhead was almost comforting. I needed this moment of peace, away from the tension and the ache in my chest. I tried to focus on the steady rhythm of my footsteps, one after the other, moving me farther from the mansion and all the confusion that came with it.My thoughts kept drifting back to Kai, no matter how hard I tried to push them away. I couldn’t get the image of him and Zara out of my head. The way he kissed her with so much passion made my heart ache. I bit my lip to stop the tears that threatened to fall. I didn’t want to cry anymore. I was tired of feeling hurt and co

    When I got to Kai’s room, I hesitated at the door for a moment. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting—maybe to find him there, waiting to talk, or maybe still asleep. But when I pushed the door open, the room was empty. A strange mix of relief and disappointment washed over me. I let out a small sigh and stepped inside, gently closing the door behind me.The room looked just as I had left it earlier. The bed was still a bit messy, the sheets rumpled from where I had been lying down. The faint scent of Kai lingered in the air—a comforting, familiar smell that made my chest tighten. I didn’t want to think about him right now, but it was hard not to when everything in this room reminded me of him.I walked over to the window, pushing the curtains aside to let the sunlight in. The morning light spilled across the floor, brightening up the space. I glanced out at the view of the garden below, watching the breeze make the flowers sway. It was peaceful—too peaceful compared to the storm of emot

    We continued walking along the path, taking our time. The sun was climbing higher in the sky, warming the cool morning air, and the smell of pine and wildflowers filled the breeze. I couldn’t help but feel a bit lighter after talking to Mer, even though the ache in my chest was still there. Just having her by my side made things a little more bearable.The sound of birds singing softly in the trees seemed to match the rhythm of our steps. I noticed how the sunlight filtered through the branches, casting dappled patterns on the ground. Mer and I walked in comfortable silence for a while, both of us just soaking in the calm of the morning.Then my phone buzzed, startling me out of my thoughts. I pulled it out of my pocket, glancing at the screen. The name "Elliot" flashed across it, and I hesitated for a second before answering.“Hello?” I greeted, trying to keep my voice steady despite the unexpected call.“Hey, Lily! It’s Elliot,” came his cheerful, upbeat voice. I could almost pictur

    Lily’s POV But then I had seen him kissing Zara. My heart had shattered right there in his office, and I couldn’t shake the image from my mind. It hurt so much. I felt embarrassed, stupid even, for letting myself hope that Kai might choose me over her.Mer was still looking at me, her eyes full of concern. I bit my lip and shook my head slowly. “It’s nothing,” I whispered, but the crack in my voice gave me away.Mer’s expression softened, and she pulled me into a tight hug, not saying anything. I closed my eyes, leaning into her, grateful for the comfort even if I couldn’t tell her the whole truth.It was too much. I felt like such a fool for thinking Kai could ever put me first. Of course, he still loved Zara. She was everything I wasn’t—beautiful, confident, and most of all, someone Kai had always protected. I was just... there.I couldn’t help the small sob that escaped, and Mer rubbed my back soothingly. “It’s okay,” she murmured. “You don’t have to talk about it if you’re not re

    Lily’s POV I slowly opened my eyes, squinting against the soft morning light filtering through the curtains. The room was quiet, too quiet, and it took me a moment to realize that the bed beside me was empty. I turned over, my hand brushing against the cool sheets where Kai should have been. He was gone.A part of me didn’t know how to feel about his absence. Should I be relieved that I didn’t have to face him right now, or hurt that he didn’t bother to stay? My heart felt heavy, and I couldn’t decide which emotion to focus on. I took a deep breath, trying to push away the knot forming in my chest.Slowly, I sat up, feeling the familiar ache in my lower back. I moved carefully, not wanting to jostle myself too much. My hands instinctively went to my baby bump, cradling it gently. At least I wasn’t completely alone. The little one inside me was a constant reminder that, no matter what, I had someone to fight for.I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood up, stretching slight

    Kai’s POV Lily had ran off, I felt the guilt settle over me like a heavy weight. I knew I’d made a terrible mistake, and I didn’t know how to fix it. I couldn’t get the image of Lily’s devastated expression out of my head. I hated myself for hurting her. I wanted to go after her, but I couldn’t leave Zara alone, not when she was this vulnerable.Maybe Rhys was right. Maybe Lily would be better off with someone who wouldn’t hurt her the way I did. Someone who wouldn’t make stupid mistakes and break her heart. But the idea of her being with him made my chest feel tight and my hands clench in frustration. I didn’t want to lose her, but I had no idea how to make things right.I slowly got up from the bed, moving as carefully as I could so I wouldn't wake Lily. She looked so peaceful, lying on her side with her back to me, her dark hair spread out over the pillow. I wanted to reach out and touch her, to feel the warmth of her skin and reassure myself that she was still here. But I didn’t

    Kai’s POV I woke up early, long before the sun had risen. I hadn’t really slept at all, just lay there in the dark, staring at the ceiling and then at Lily’s back. She was still asleep, curled up on her side, facing away from me. Her breathing was soft and even, completely unaware of how much my heart ached.I couldn’t stop staring at her. I wanted to reach out and touch her, to pull her close and feel her warmth against me, but I knew better. I’d hurt her, and it was my fault. The guilt was eating me alive, and I couldn’t shake it.Last night had been hell. I’d tried everything to fall asleep—closing my eyes, forcing my mind to go blank, counting backward from a hundred—but nothing worked. Every time I shut my eyes, I saw Lily’s hurt expression when she called me out for kissing Zara. I couldn’t blame her for being upset. I hated myself for letting it happen.It hadn’t meant anything. I never wanted to kiss Zara. She had come into my office looking sad and miserable. I had been goin

    I kept walking, not bothering to check if Kai was following me. I just needed to get away from the mess of emotions swirling inside me. My feet carried me through the hallways until I finally reached his room. Without a second thought, I shoved the door open and stepped inside. The room was dimly lit, but I didn’t bother turning on more lights. I just headed straight for the bathroom, needing a moment to collect myself.Once inside, I closed the door and leaned against it, taking a deep, shaky breath. My heart was still racing from the confrontation with Kai and Rhys, and I couldn’t help but replay it over and over in my head. I pushed those thoughts away and moved to turn on the shower, waiting for the water to warm up before stripping off my clothes.Stepping under the hot spray, I let the water wash away the tension from my muscles. I closed my eyes and tilted my head back, feeling the warmth seep into my skin. My thoughts were still a chaotic mess, but the steady stream of water h
