Narrator's POV

Despite everything that Zoe made herself believe, she knew she didn't truly hate Xavier. And if the last few moments were any indication, she liked him more than she would admit.

Having no answer for him and being stubborn anyway, she decided to act indignant, "It's none of your business," She said, and before he had a chance to joke or try flirting with her again, she got out of her car and got to her room.

Xavier was worried about her but knew that following her would not do any good. He had already crossed a boundary that Zoe had set for them lately and she had given him enough to let him know that if he stayed persistent, she would forgive him.

Instead, he waited for the dinner to be delivered and took that to her room.

Zoe opened the door after two knocks and tilted her head, "How hard is it to take the hint that I want to be alone right now?"

"Not hard, but you don't have to be hungry and alone. I brought dinner." He held up the steaming package giving the most inn

    I sat there, holding the second letter in my hands. Longer than I had with the first.I wondered how much I had lost by erasing everything with my mother from my memories. I wanted to remember every single thing."Dahlia," I asked, my voice shaky. "Why didn’t it work last night? Why couldn’t you find anything?"‘Do you want the soft answer, or the raw truth?’ Dahlia’s voice was unusually soft, and it made my stomach twist.I clenched my fists. "I want the raw truth. What’s going on?"‘There’s nothing wrong, really. Butâ€Ķ’ Dahlia hesitated."Just say it. What’s the problem?" I snapped, trying to hold it together.‘You’ve built a barrier between your subconscious and those memories. They aren’t gone. They’re just locked away.’"So they’re still there?" I asked, desperate to find something positive.‘Yes, but I can’t just force my way through. Not without your help,’ Dahlia added.I sat there, silent. I wanted those memories, but if Dahlia couldn’t reach them, how was I supposed to? I did

    I felt myself starting to break. Before I could fall apart, Xavier pulled me into his arms.I let go in his hold. I needed this, wanted this, ever since my father died. I had been angry with him, but I couldn’t deny how much I craved his touch.In that moment, I stopped blaming him. I let myself cry on his chest, his arms wrapped around me as I let all my frustration out.I grabbed his shirt and pulled him closer. I didn’t realize how much I needed this until I was in his arms. His scent wrapped around me like a safe cocoon. It was something I had been missing, even before my father passed away."I’m so tired," I muttered through my sobs. I was exhausted, both physically and emotionally. My mom, even after death, had given me a task that felt too much."I’m here. Let it out," Xavier said quietly, holding me close and stroking my hair.We stayed like that for what felt like forever. We didn’t speak. It felt like we had been apart for so long, and now we were right where we belonged. Fi

    We spent the whole day driving. The road stretched on endlessly, and we only stopped for dinner when it was too late to keep going. Both of us were supernatural, but we could still get tired.Xavier pulled into a small diner and gently woke me up. I'd dozed off most of the way. We freshened up, had a quiet dinner, and then decided to take a walk.By now, I was wide awake. My mind was racing, too much was going on in there. Xavier knew I usually cleared my head by running in the woods, but this tiny town didn’t have the same effect. Still, anything was better than staying in bed alone all night.We walked in silence for a while until we came to a closed amusement park."I remember going to amusement parks at Silver Moon with my dad and Aunt Julie," I said, stopping in front of the locked gates.Xavier paused beside me. "I never got to go to any parks.""Never?" I asked, surprised. You’d think someone from an Alpha bloodline would have everything they wanted, but I guess I was wrong.Xa

    "I remember stargazing with my mother," Xavier’s voice was soft, careful not to break the delicate moment we had stolen from the mess of our life."You remember your mother? Lucky you," I replied."She was kind. Kinder than most people I've met. She was like that cool breeze on a hot summer day that makes you feel like everything would be okay," Xavier reminisced.He hadn’t talked about her in a long time, but being up here, so high above the rest of the world, he felt like he could tell me anything and be understood. He had a lot to say that he had been keeping inside for too long."You miss her," I added."Since her death, Father became a much harsher man. Once the only source of empathy and kindness was gone from my life, he made sure I never talked about her. Even to myself," Xavier confessed, his gaze still fixed on the sky.Without thinking, my hand found Xavier’s. In that moment, it felt right.He looked at me, surprised at the initiative I had taken. I looked at his eyes, "You

    The next morning, I felt rejuvenated. My problems were still there, but something had changed. It was unexpected, but it felt welcome.Xavier woke up with a smile on his face for the first time in a long while. Most of his problems were still there, but there was one issue that had been weighing on his heart the most, and it was resolved last night. He understood that we still had a long way to go, and things might take a while before going the way he wanted them to, but he was glad for the great start.We had a light breakfast, and I took the steering wheel, deciding not to comment on his driving the previous day or what had happened between us the night before.Halfway through, I turned on the radio, surprising Xavier even more. By the time we crossed the Silver Moon border, Xavier and I were singing along to the songs, like we were returning from the best trip of our lives. Werewolves need a special kind of alcohol to get drunk because of their higher metabolism, but neither of us

    [This chapter contains mentions of gore, torture, and loss of body parts. Reader discretion is advised.]I didn’t know what to believe anymore. Was Aunt Julie really dead? Was it really John standing in front of me, claiming to have killed her? I had so many questions. How was he even here? Why wasn’t he paying for his crimes in some dark dungeon?Xavier was ready to pounce on John at any moment. “Give me one good reason not to tear you to shreds right here, right now!”Anyone looking at Xavier would have fainted in fear. But John just stood there, head held high, hands in his pockets, acting like he wasn’t facing an Alpha with a wolf twice his size.“How about I give you three?” John smirked, lazily leaning against the kitchen island. “First, if you kill me now, you’ll be declared a murderer and wanted for werewolfcide on foreign territory by none other than your own father. Papa Shaw is very upset, Xavier.”Xavier knew better than anyone what a cruel man his father was, but was he r

    It took a while for Dahlia to let go of me. When she finally did, my eyes closed.When I opened my eyes again, Xavier was there, looking at me with concern. He told me, “I found you lying in the street, with John’s mangled body next to his vehicle. It was parked across the street, we didn’t even notice it when we arrived earlier.”He cleaned himself up first and borrowed a suit from Joe Simmons' wardrobe. Then, he cleaned me up with a wet towel, before picking out a sky-blue mid-length dress with white cotton flowers from my closet. He dressed me carefully, making sure I was as comfortable as possible.While I was still unconscious, Xavier dragged all the rogue bodies into the woods. He fixed the living room as best as he could and then went to the woods to make a pyre for Aunt Julie. She had been such an important part of my life, and she deserved to be honored the traditional way. She was an honorable werewolf who had died protecting her loved ones.Once the pyre was ready, Xavier

    I had no idea what was going on, but I trusted Xavier. He trusted me and Dahlia, so he pressed the gas and didn’t stop until we were near the Silver Moon borders. We exchanged confused glances as we stopped behind a long line of cars.“What’s going on?” Xavier muttered, craning his neck out the window to see what was happening at the border.“What do you see? Who’s doing what?” I asked, feeling worried. Dahlia was still agitated, pushing us to leave Silver Moon territory as quickly as possible.Xavier leaned back in his seat. “I don’t know, but I’ll go check it out.” He got out of the car and walked up to the car ahead of us. He bent down to the driver’s window and asked, “Hi, do you know what’s going on here? When did Silver Moon tighten their border security?” After all, we had entered yesterday without anyone stopping us.“The Alpha gave the order early this morning,” the driver explained. “Every person and vehicle that passes through the border gates is being checked and recorded
