KaylaI looked around the room I had lived in for twenty-two years, and felt my heart sink. I didn’t want to leave. But I had to.Sitting at my desk one last time, I began composing a letter to the guild. I was formally requesting that Nicholas be appointed as the temporary Alpha of Bluemoon Pack. P

Sadie sputtered, “This isn’t over.”I met her gaze calmly. “Yes, it is. Please leave.”She huffed but obeyed, storming out with Isabella following closely behind.Once they were gone, I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding. The room felt lighter already without them in it.Later, as I se
KaylaIsabella and Sadie stared at me in shock. For a moment, the room was silent.“Why don’t you open the box now, dear?” Sadie finally said with a sweet smile.I narrowed my eyes and set the box aside. Clearly, something was indeed off here; I wasn’t being paranoid or going insane after that aphro
It was all too familiar.“I’ll make them pay,” I muttered under my breath. Memories of my mother flooded back—the same drug, the same tactics. After forcibly detoxing, her body had become weak, and she never fully recovered.Kayla stirred beside me, her hand reaching out. I took it gently.“Mommy...
