“I can’t lose him now, Miles,” she sobbed, clutching my shirt. “He’s still too young to leave me alone.” My throat tightened, guilt pressing down on me like a weight I couldn’t escape. “I’m sorry, Mom,” I muttered, knowing there was nothing else I could say. It felt like the universe had a personal
Two Years Later... RHEA’S POV I hummed softly as Rose helped me set the dining table. Today marked two years of marriage with Miles, and I couldn’t help but feel like a newlywed all over again. The butterflies in my stomach, the care I put into his favorite meal—it was as if we had just exchan
Before I could respond, there was a click. My stomach twisted as I stared at the phone screen in disbelief. “Miles? Miles!” I called out, but it was useless. He had hung up. Again. I inhaled deeply, trying to keep my composure, but my chest burned with frustration. This wasn’t new. This was our rou
RHEA’S POV I gripped the steering wheel tightly, my knuckles turning white as I dialed my mother’s number. My hands shook as I balanced anger, betrayal, and heartbreak. The phone rang twice before her familiar voice floated through the speaker. “Oh, Rhea, dear. Happy anniversary—” "I don’t nee
Roxy rose from her seat. "Rhea, this is not what you think," she said innocently. "We’re just catching up." I laughed bitterly. "Catching up? Is that what they’re calling it these days?" Miles stepped closer; his face tight with frustration. "This isn’t what it looks like." I tilted my head, my t
RHEA’S POV "I want a divorce," Miles said coldly the moment we stepped into our bedroom. The words hit me like a punch to the gut, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe. "What?" His glare was icy and unrelenting. "You heard me, Rhea. The thread that bound us is gone. We lost the baby, and ther
MILES’ POV “We’re getting a divorce,” I said as I set the food down on the table in front of Roxy, hiding my battered knuckles from her. I had punched the wall several times last night until my hands bled. I had let out my anger the only way I could without causing more chaos. Roxy looked up s
For a moment, Evans and Rico remained silent. Rico raised his eyebrows, clearly trying to measure my mood, while I poured myself another drink. I wasn’t even sure why I was drinking this much. To celebrate my freedom? To numb my guilt? Maybe both. “I just hope,” Rico began cautiously, breaking the
When I looked at the rearview mirror again, my eyes met his. His eyes were sad and unsure. “I’m sorry,” he said softly. “I didn’t mean to make you mad.” My heart squeezed. I reached for the gear and pulled over to the side of the road, my chest aching. “No, baby. I’m sorry.” I turned in my seat to
Fathers and SonsRHEA’S POV I purposely avoided going back to Miles' room after I left. I didn’t show up yesterday like I promised Ma Lisa. I didn’t go today either. Not even when Dr. Patel sent one of the nurses to tell me they had asked for me twice. I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I didn
My brows creased slightly, but I kept the smile on my face, wondering what he meant by that. But I made no comment. Then, he looked over at Miles, then back at me, looking far too excited."He hasn’t looked at another woman in seven years. Not once. He has refused to claim another Luna. That boy has
Of Storms and ScarsRHEA'S POVI had rehearsed this scene time and again in my head. I had it all in my head. Everything I would say to them, but what I didn't get ready for was the surge of emotion that would overwhelm me. Tears welled up in my eyes as Pa Dennis blinked like he had seen a ghost. Ma
I inclined my head, wincing a little. “Feels good.” “I’m Dr. Patel Kentuckey. I’ll be handling your case moving forward.” He walked closer, eyes scanning the monitors as he continued. “I must say, I’m impressed by your recovery. Given the severity of your hypothermia, this is nothing short of a mir
Silent Bonds MILES’ POV There was a dull throbbing in my limbs. At first, it was cold. Then warmth. Then pain. Everything felt slow, like my body had forgotten how to exist in one piece. I blinked against the blinding white lights overhead, squinting as the room began to sharpen into focus. The fi
Unburied ThingsRHEA’S POV Despite the usual cheerful greetings as I walked through the hospital halls, I could feel the subtle whispers trailing behind me. Eyes flicked my way. Curiosity buzzed in the air like static. Everyone wanted to know what was really going on between me and Alpha Miles Mond
“No idea. But it rained all night. He might’ve been out there for hours.”She glanced at her clipboard, then looked up at me. “You got lucky. Most don’t pull through once it dips below thirty-two. But…” she gave a soft exhale, “he’s stabilized now. His vitals are holding." I let out a breath I didn
RHEA'S POV I stared at PA Dennis flashing across the screen as the phone rang in my hand. My heart thundered in my chest. This couldn't be happening. I had thought of reaching out to Evans or even Rico, to let them know about Miles' condition. They would know how to handle this better. But PA Denni
