"I'm showering," I announced the second we got to our room, already heading for the bathroom before Xavier could respond.The hot water helped wash away some of the road grime, but not the weight pressing on my chest. Where even was home anymore? I couldn't go back to either of my old packs like nothing happened. As steam filled the tiny bathroom, a hazy memory surfaced - a woman in a blue sundress, the fabric dancing in the wind. She called my name with that warm, safe voice I could barely remember anymore.Mom.I hadn't seen a photo of her in years. Hadn't heard her voice since childhood. All that remained was this ghost of a feeling - the love we'd shared before she disappeared.Shutting off the water, I realized my mistake. In my hurry to escape Xavier, I'd left my damn clothes bag on the bed. Perfect. Now what? Call for him like some helpless pup? Or walk out in a towel like it's no big deal?It should've been no big deal. He'd seen everything before. But everything was different

I woke up pressed against something firm but warm. Definitely not a pillow.Then the scent hit me - cedar and leather with that underlying musk that was unmistakably Xavier. My eyes flew open to find my face buried in his chest, one arm slung possessively across his torso, our legs tangled together like we'd been wrestling in our sleep.Oh. Hell. No.I tried to subtly extract myself, but his thighs were like steel traps pinning me in place."Watching you squirm is adorable," Xavier's sleep-rough voice rumbled above me. "But I've been awake for twenty minutes."I jerked back like he'd electrocuted me. "What the hell are you doing in my bed?""That's funny," he smirked, propping himself up on one elbow. His hair was deliciously messy, morning stubble shadowing his jaw. "Last I checked, you're the one who begged me to stay."My face burned. "I would never—"'Actually,' Dahlia piped up in my head, 'you totally did. Clung to his arm like a koala. It was pathetic.'Traitorous wolf.Xavier's

That voice..."Who is it?""AlphaXS32," Xavier answered.The door swung wider. The woman inside—veiled, draped in bohemian nonsense—turned away without looking at us. "Lock it behind you."Every hair on my arms stood up. I didn't know her... but I knew her. The way she moved. That voice. Even through the ridiculous costume, something screamed familiar.Her "apartment" looked like a witch's flea market exploded—herbs dangling from the ceiling, a cauldron bubbling over fake flames, pentagrams drawn in what I hoped was ketchup. She gestured vaguely at the clutter. "Sit somewhere."Then she turned. Our eyes met. A feather slipped from her fingers."MJ?" The name left my lips before I could stop it."Zo?" Her voice cracked.Xavier's head whipped between us. "Maisie?"Time stopped. The veil came off, revealing my best friend's face—paler than I remembered, dark circles under those mismatched eyes, but undeniably her.We crashed together like colliding stars. I clung to her, breathing in the

Xavier went scarily still. I squeezed Maisie's hand. "How long did you stay after?""One more day." Her laugh was hollow. "Stupid, right? I knew better but... he said he'd come back."A chill crawled down my spine. "What happened that night?""The knocking started." Maisie's pupils dilated at the memory. "Luca had a key. I didn't answer."Xavier frowned. "Good. Those doors are spelled. No wolf could—""They broke it down." Maisie's whisper cut through him.Impossible. Those safehouses could withstand a charging rhino. "How many?" I asked.Maisie shuddered. "A dozen. Maybe two.""Two dozen werewolves strong enough to break spelled doors," Xavier repeated slowly.I wrapped an arm around Maisie's shoulders as she trembled. "You're safe now. We've got you."But Xavier's gaze had turned glacial. "Maisie." His voice could've frozen hell. "How did you escape that?"The room temperature seemed to drop. Maisie shrank under his stare."Xavier!" I snapped. "Back off."He ignored me, leaning in.

I placed my hand over Maisie’s, trying to offer some comfort. I could feel her trembling under my touch, her fear and sorrow almost palpable.“We did escape together. We were chased. We ran together,” Maisie began, her voice slow, like she was trying to piece together what happened, but it was hard. “Then, what went wrong? Luca was ordered to protect you. He would never abandon the post,” Xavier’s voice broke through, filled with a mix of confusion and concern.“For a couple of days, everything was quiet. We were staying at one of your safe houses up North. And then, one night he left to get some firewood.” Maisie paused, her face tightening, like she was reliving that moment. She took a shaky breath before continuing, “He never came back.”“What do you mean, he never came back? Did you go looking for him? Where did he go?” Xavier pressed, his voice more insistent now.“I waited for him until dawn,” Maisie replied, her eyes looking distant. “I swear I have no idea where he went or why

Narrator's POVZoe and Xavier listened to the detailed account of events that Maisie had gone through with full attention. Zoe worried about her friend and pitied everything Maisie had to go through. Zoe blamed herself for pulling Maisie into her problems. After all, Maisie had to give up such a grave secret in front of so many people because Zoe's father's life was on the line. Xavier, on the other, was worried about his friend just as much as he was worried about Maisie. At least, Maisie had made it. Xavier had often checked with Jacob (his secretary) about Luca and nobody had heard anything since Maisie and Luca had escaped from the Werewolf Council Headquarters after Mr. Simmons' case."Maze. How did you get away from them?" Zoe asked softly. Maisie sighed and didn't meet the eyes of her friend. It was hard enough thinking about that. But talking about it all made it more real and unbearable."I'm not exactly sure what happened next. I swear, I just closed my eyes for a second.

"I thought you were taking me out of this jungle. Did you just bring me to your home? Or the center of the jungle?" Maisie asked confused but stepped closer nonetheless.The roots of the huge tree were spread on the forest floor. The moment Maisie accidentally stepped on a protruding root and slipped, falling face-first to the forest floor. She tried to hold something in vain. There was nothing to stop her from falling as she saw the ground get closer. Again, she closed her eyes but tried not to scream. Screaming had brought her problems so far.She fell, but instead of hard and moist ground, she felt a soft, dry, furry rug on her face. It still hurt but not as much as falling into the insect-infested forest floor might have.Confuzzled, Maisie opened her eyes and quickly got up only to stop stunned.She was now in a different location. The open jungle had vanished and she now stood in a cozy cottage that looked very normal at first glance.Then, she noticed the brown bird that had l

Zoe's POV"Oh god, MJ—" I lunged forward, wrapping my arms around my trembling friend. Xavier stayed back, giving us space. His jaw worked silently as he processed Maisie's story.Something felt off as I held her. The Maisie I knew would have been sobbing uncontrollably after reliving such trauma. But her breathing was steady, her posture stiff. Too controlled. Like she'd built walls around whatever emotions should have been there.Xavier cleared his throat. "Maybe we should continue this somewhere... cleaner." His nose wrinkled at the dusty, cluttered space.Maisie pulled back with a small smile. "AlphaXS34, huh?""Cornhead24," Xavier shot back.I blinked between them. "What?""Your boyfriend here contacted me on the dark web," Maisie explained. "Cornhead24 was my username. Twenty-four's my age."Xavier crossed his arms. "AlphaXS was perfectly discreet.""Except when you're flirting with a girl twelve years your junior," Maisie teased."I'm not that old!" Xavier's indignant protest m
