Selina stood frozen at the doorway, her breath caught in her throat as she stared at the daughter she had thought was lost forever. Her hands trembled at her sides, her lips parted as if she wanted to say something, but no words came out.

Sophia clutched the blanket draped over her lap, her fingers gripping the fabric so tightly her knuckles turned white. Her eyes were filled with hesitation, fear, and something fragile—hope.

For a long moment, neither of them moved. The air in the room felt thick with emotions that neither of them could quite put into words. Then, with a strangled sob, Selina rushed forward.

“Sophia?” Her voice cracked as she dropped to her knees beside the bed, reaching for her daughter as though she still couldn’t believe she was real. Her fingers brushed over Sophia’s arms, her shoulders, her face—like she was trying to convince herself this wasn’t just a dream. “Oh, my sweet girl…”

Sophia let out a shaky breath, her body trembling. “Mom?” Her voice was barely mor

    Kai looked at Selina and her family, seeing how emotional they were. He decided to give them some privacy, letting them have this moment together. He reached for my hand, his fingers wrapping around mine warmly."Come on," he said softly.I nodded, letting him lead me out of the room. As we stepped into the hallway, Darren was already waiting outside. Kai stopped and turned to him, his expression serious."I want security doubled," Kai ordered. "Border patrols need to be increased immediately. We don’t know who took Sophia, and we can’t risk them coming back."Darren nodded, already pulling out his phone to make the necessary arrangements. "I’ll handle it right away, Alpha."Kai gave him a curt nod, then turned back to me. His grip on my hand tightened just a little, as if he needed the contact."Let’s go," he said, leading me towards the exit.We reached the car, and Kai opened the door for me. He held my hand as I got in, making sure I was comfortable before closing the door. Then,

    The moment I stepped inside my room, everything felt normal. But as I took a few steps toward my bed, my heart nearly jumped out of my chest.I froze. My breath caught in my throat.Then, I screamed.My bed was covered in tiny, torn-up pieces of paper. My hands trembled as I stepped closer, and that’s when I realized what it was—my ultrasound photo. The picture of my baby. The one the doctor had given me. It had been ripped into shreds and scattered all over my bed like confetti.But that wasn’t the worst part.Right in the middle of the bed, lying in a pool of dark, sticky blood, was a dead animal. My stomach twisted in horror as I took in the sight. It was a rabbit. Its small body had been completely ripped open, its insides spilling out onto my blankets. The metallic scent of blood filled my nose, making me gag.A sharp, choked sob escaped my lips as I staggered backward, my entire body trembling. My hands clutched my stomach instinctively, as if I could somehow shield my baby from

    I clung to Kai, my fingers digging into his shirt as I buried my face against him, inhaling his scent. It should have comforted me, but nothing could erase what I had just seen.Behind us, Rhys walked with heavy, deliberate steps, his energy radiating barely contained rage."I’ll handle the cleanup," Rhys muttered. "And I’ll tighten security."Kai didn’t answer immediately. He kept walking, his jaw tight, his grip on me firm but gentle.When we reached his bedroom, he pushed the door open with one hand and stepped inside. The moment we were in, he kicked the door shut behind him. He didn’t set me down right away. Instead, he walked straight to the bed and sat down, keeping me cradled in his lap.I curled into him instinctively, my entire body still trembling."Take a deep breath," he murmured, his voice softer now. "Slow and steady, Lily. I’ve got you."I tried, I really did, but the panic wouldn’t let go of me

    Kai stood up from the bed and told me he would be right back. I nodded, watching as he left the room and closed the door behind him. Now that I was alone, I took a deep breath and looked around. This was only the second time I had been in his room, and I hadn’t really paid attention to it before. It was spacious, with dark wooden furniture and large windows covered with heavy curtains. The bed was massive, covered in dark sheets, and smelled just like him—strong, warm, and comforting. I slowly stood up and wandered around the room, my eyes landing on the door to his walk-in closet. Curiosity got the best of me, and before I could stop myself, I walked over and pushed it open. The moment I stepped inside, Kai’s scent completely surrounded me. It was even stronger here—his cologne mixed with something uniquely him. I closed my eyes for a second, just breathing it in, feeling comforted in a way I couldn’t explain. I ran my fingers over the neatly hung clothes, feeling the soft fabric

    As I continued eating, Kai stayed beside me, his presence warm and steady. It felt nice, comforting even, to have him here, watching over me, making sure I was eating.I was just about to take another bite when he suddenly reached for a slice of apple from my plate. I glanced at him, confused, but before I could ask, he lifted the piece to my lips.My heart skipped a beat.I blinked at him, feeling my face heat up. It was such a small gesture, yet it felt incredibly intimate.Slowly, I leaned forward and took a bite, my lips brushing against his fingers. The apple was sweet and juicy, but I barely noticed the taste because my entire focus was on Kai.Then, without thinking, I did something that made time stop.I licked the juice off his finger.The second I did it, I heard his sharp intake of breath.I froze.Kai's whole body stiffened beside me, his muscles tensing as if he had been shocked. His gaze darkened, his silver eyes locking onto my lips with an intensity that made my stomac

    As soon as I opened the door, Meredith stood there, her dark eyes filled with concern. The moment she saw me, she didn't hesitate—she pulled me into a tight hug, holding me close like she had been waiting for this moment.“I heard what happened,” she murmured, her voice laced with worry. “Rhys told me about your room. Are you okay?”I let out a slow breath, feeling some of the tension in my body ease at the comfort of her embrace. “Yeah… I’m fine.”Meredith pulled back slightly, scanning my face as if trying to find any cracks in my words. Her lips pressed into a thin line, and she gave me a knowing look like she didn’t quite believe me. “Lily…”I forced a small smile, trying to reassure her. “Really, Mer. I’m okay now.”She sighed, shaking her head. “I’m so sorry I didn’t come sooner. I feel terrible for not being here when you needed me.”I reached for her hand, squeezing it gently. “Mer, stop. You don’t have to apologize. You’ve been busy. I get it.”She looked at me for a moment b

    My jaw dropped. “What? No!”She grinned. “Oh, come on! It’s just a little flirting. You can handle it.”I groaned, already regretting bringing up dares in the first place. “You’re evil.”She laughed. “I know. But you love me anyway.”I rolled my eyes, but I couldn't help smiling. “Fine. But if this goes horribly wrong, I’m blaming you.”Meredith grinned like she had just won the lottery. “Deal.”I sighed, leaning back against the pillows. “So, how exactly do you plan to ask Rhys out?”She tapped her chin, pretending to think hard. “Hmm. Maybe I should just walk up to him and say, ‘Hey, wanna go on a date with me?’”I snorted. “That sounds like something you would do.”She laughed. “Okay, fine. I’ll try to be smooth. Maybe invite him to dinner or something casual.”I nodded. “That’s a good idea. And wear that red dress you have—it makes you look amazing.”Meredith grinned. “Noted. Now, back to your dare.”I groaned. “Do I have to?”“Yes,” she said, crossing her arms. “You have to flirt

    I pulled it over my head, letting it swallow me completely. It was huge, reaching mid-thigh, and the sleeves were so long they covered most of my hands. I hugged myself, enjoying the warmth of the fabric before walking back into the bedroom.Since I didn’t really have anything to do, I climbed into Kai’s bed and curled up under the covers. The bed was ridiculously comfortable, and his scent surrounded me even more here. I smiled a little to myself, feeling oddly safe.Time passed, and I found myself just lounging around, scrolling through my new phone. I had spent hours playing random games, checking social media, and watching videos, but eventually, boredom crept in. That’s when I remembered Meredith’s dare.I hesitated, staring at my phone screen. Should I really text Kai? This was the first time I’d ever text him, and for some reason, it felt like a big deal. I didn't even know what to say.After a few moments of debating, I settled on something simple.Me: Hey.I pressed send and

    I finally calmed down after what felt like forever. My breathing slowly evened out, though my chest still ached and my head was pounding. My throat burned from crying and yelling so much. I felt weak—physically, emotionally… just completely worn out. Like all the fight in me had been drained away. Kai was quiet the whole time. He didn’t say anything, didn’t ask if I was okay. He just stayed there, kneeling beside me on the side of the road, his hand moving in slow circles across my back. His touch was light, careful. It wasn’t like earlier when he had stormed into the shop all angry and wild. This Kai felt different—more… human. Like he was actually worried.When I finally lifted my head, Kai met my eyes. He didn’t speak. He just nodded, like he was asking silently if I was ready to leave. I gave the tiniest nod back. He stood up and helped me gently to my feet. I was still shaky, and he held onto me like he was scared I’d fall again. He walked me back to the car, opened the door for

    “Shit,” Kai muttered under his breath, and the car swerved slightly as he pulled over to the side of the road. The engine cut off, and in an instant, Kai was unbuckling his seatbelt and reaching for me. “Hey, hey, look at me,” he said softly, his voice urgent but gentle. He cupped my face in his hands, forcing me to meet his gaze. “Breathe with me, okay? Just focus on me. In and out. You’re safe. I’m right here.” I tried to concentrate on his words, but it felt like I was trapped in my own head, my thoughts spiraling out of control. Tears streamed down my cheeks, and I struggled to match his breathing. He pressed his forehead against mine, his thumbs brushing away my tears. “You’re okay,” he whispered, his voice softer than I’d ever heard it. “I’ve got you. Just breathe. Slow, like this.” I focused on the warmth of his hands, the steady rhythm of his breathing, and slowly, gradually, I felt the tightness in my chest ease. I matched his breaths, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly.

    My heart jumped into my throat, and I quickly pulled back from Elliot, turning to see who had spoken. My blood ran cold when I saw Kai standing just a few feet away.He looked more terrifying than I had ever seen him before. His usual silver eyes were pitch black, completely devoid of any light or warmth. His expression was dark and furious, his jaw clenched so tight I thought his teeth might shatter. He was dressed in a black shirt that clung to his broad shoulders and black slacks, looking like a shadow given human form.Elliot immediately stepped back, his eyes wide with fear. “Alpha, I—”Kai didn’t acknowledge his words, didn’t even glance at me. His entire focus was on Elliot, and I could feel the air around us growing heavy with his anger. My heart pounded as I noticed his hands—the nails had elongated into sharp, deadly claws, and his chest rose and fell with barely restrained rage.My heart pounded, and fear twisted in my stomach. I knew t

    For a moment, I let myself just exist—no worries, no stress, no overwhelming thoughts—just the soft rustling of leaves from the potted plants by the window and the faint hum of the radio playing a soothing melody in the background. The shop was like a little haven, filled with vibrant colors and the earthy, floral scent that wrapped around me like a comforting blanket.I glanced around, my eyes drawn to the different flower arrangements that Elliot had set on the counter. Each bouquet seemed to tell a story—the elegant roses paired with delicate baby’s breath, the wild assortment of sunflowers mixed with daisies, and a more subtle blend of lavender and white lilies. I reached out to trace the petals of a daisy, my fingertip brushing the soft, velvety texture. The simple beauty of it made my heart feel lighter, even just a bit.I couldn’t help but let my mind wander, thinking of how I usually played it safe, always trying to make the right decisions. Maybe it was time to do something a

    I looked down at the lily in my hand, turning it gently between my fingers. The petals felt so soft, almost like silk, and the delicate fragrance wrapped around me, calming my frayed nerves. I couldn’t help but smile a little. It was such a small, simple thing, but it made me feel a bit lighter, almost like I could breathe easier. For the first time that day, I felt like I wasn’t drowning in my thoughts.Lost in the softness of the petals, I barely noticed when Elliot moved closer until his warm hand gently covered mine, stilling my fingers. His touch was comforting—steady and gentle. I looked up, meeting his calm, reassuring gaze.“Hey,” he said softly, his voice soothing, like a balm to my wounded heart. He gave my hand a gentle squeeze, his thumb brushing over my knuckles. “Everything’s going to be alright. I promise. You don’t have to carry it all on your own.”His words were simple, but they carried a weight that made my chest feel a little less tight. I didn’t trust myself to sp

    I jumped a little, startled, and turned around quickly. There stood Elliot, holding a single white lily in his hand, his lips curled into a warm, easygoing smile. My heartbeat quickened, but not in the anxious way it did with Kai. Instead, it was a comforting, gentle flutter, almost like a reminder that not everything was as heavy as it seemed. “Oh! I didn’t hear you come up,” I admitted, trying to hide my embarrassment. He chuckled, the sound light and pleasant. “Sorry, didn’t mean to sneak up on you,” he said, offering me the lily. His fingers brushed mine briefly, and I couldn’t help but notice how soft his touch was. “This one reminded me of you—beautiful and delicate.” My cheeks flushed, and I couldn’t help but smile as I took the flower from him. “Thank you. It’s really pretty.” Elliot’s curls were a little messy, probably from a busy morning moving flowers around. He looked effortlessly charming in a simple white top that hugged his toned frame just right, paired with s

    Pushing open the door, I was immediately greeted by the warm, fragrant scent of flowers. It was almost overwhelming at first, like stepping into a garden that had been bottled up and released all at once. The air was thick with the sweet, earthy smell of roses, the crisp freshness of lilies, and something sugary that I couldn’t quite place. It reminded me of spring mornings, where everything felt hopeful and alive.The shop itself was cozy and inviting, with sunlight streaming through the large windows, casting soft patterns on the wooden floor. Bouquets of flowers filled nearly every available space, arranged in tall glass vases and wrapped in brown paper tied with twine. The colors were almost too much to take in at once—bright red roses with their velvety petals, soft pastel pink peonies, sunny yellow sunflowers, and delicate white lilies. Even the shelves were decorated with smaller potted plants, succulents, and cacti, their deep green hues providing a nice contrast to the more v

    I decided to call Elliot to see if we could meet now. My fingers felt a little shaky as I pulled my phone out and dialed his number. I wasn’t sure why I was nervous—maybe because I hadn’t really made any new friends lately, and he seemed like such a nice guy. I took a deep breath as the phone rang, trying to calm myself down.After a few rings, Elliot picked up. “Hello?” His voice sounded cheerful, and I couldn’t help but feel a little relieved.“Hey, Elliot, it’s me,” I said, trying to sound upbeat. “I was just wondering if we could meet now to check out the flower designs?”“Oh, absolutely!” he replied, sounding genuinely happy to hear from me. “I’ve got the arrangements ready for you to take a look at. Are you free now?”“Yeah, I’m already in town,” I answered. “Just tell me where your flower shop is, and I’ll head over.”“Great! It’s called ‘Bloom & Bliss,’ on Maple Street. You can’t miss it—the sign’s painted bright yellow, and there’s a big display of sunflowers outside,” he exp

    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
