Bella:

The ride from the Dusk Pack to the Thorne Pack was longer than I had expected. It had been four hours since we left their grandma’s house, and we were only just arriving at the boundary of the Thorne Pack. My mind couldn’t shake off my encounter with Halle, and her talk about Hazel left me curious, but there was no one to provide the answers I sought.

As we drove into the pack’s territory, I saw something zoom past us with incredible speed, causing me to glance into the side mirror. There was nothing there.

“What’s that?” Finn asked, his hands steady on the wheel. I shook my head, trying to dismiss it. “You must be tired from the journey,” he said, and I forced a smile.

The surrounding energy grew strange, sending shivers up my spine. I immediately knew something was off about the road, making me momentarily forget about Halle.

“Bella,” Finn called out again, glancing at me briefly. I forced another smile. “Do you want me to make a stop?” he asked, slowing the car. Before I cou

    Bella:The next day, a sweet smell that attacked my nostrils awoke me, causing me to open my eyes to see Finn leaning on one hand, watching me with a smile. His hair was rough, but he smelled like soap, evidence that he had already taken a bath.“Good morning,” I muttered, trying to keep my eyes open while he planted a kiss on my lips.“I made breakfast,” he said, a smile creeping onto my face.I tried not to compare my time here to that of Kai. Granny had kept us fed, but Finn was keeping me fed, and it made me happy.“What did you make?” I asked, throwing my arms around his neck and kissing his lips.“You’ll have to find out,” he replied, pulling away from me. Then he got to his feet.I sat up, taking his hand, which he had held out for me, and he pulled me up, causing my face to collide with his chest, giving him an opportunity to steal a kiss from my forehead. We left the room and made our way downstairs. I was fine on my feet, but halfway down, he thought it wise to sweep me into

    Bella:It was the morning of the twenty-ninth, and after cleaning up from breakfast, I made my way up the spiraling stairs, marveling at how quickly the days had passed. It was already the fourth day, and I had until the evening of the first with Finn.When I reached the bedroom, expecting to laze around, watch a movie, and relax, I was surprised to see Finn dressed up, combing his hair in front of the mirror.“Where are you off to?” I asked, walking towards him.“We’re going shopping,” he said, placing the comb on the table. I raised an eyebrow. “Every year, the guys and I throw this awesome party, separately, and then we make clips to determine who partied the hardest during the break.”I crossed my arms, my brows shooting up. It sounded ridiculous, but the excitement on his face softened my expression. I had a lot to learn from them, and it wouldn’t be easy dealing with three boys.“You don’t seem happy...”“I’m good. I’ll be ready in a minute,” I said, kissing his cheek before hea

    Bella:The thirty-first flew by in the blink of an eye with only a few hours left until new year. Despite the lingering sadness from my broken family, Finn had been my rock, helping me find strength. Being with him brought a sense of relaxation I hadn’t felt in a long time. I had never enjoyed planning a party, but today, because of him, I did.“The party is about to start, and people are already on their way.” Finn’s words jolted me from my thoughts as I stared at my reflection in the mirror.He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me close until my back was against his chest.“I will always be with you, and I want you to remember that. I hope this party will take away your worries,” he whispered, pressing his lips to my cheek.I forced a smile, trying to believe his words.Finn and I had showered together, and I dressed in a mini jean skirt, a crop top, and sneakers. Finn wore a baseball tee, baggy cargo pants, and sneakers.“You look great,” I said as I applied my lipstick in

    Bella:Last night had been the longest I had stayed up, and I hated myself more for what I had done. I looked around for Finn, but he wasn’t nearby; I couldn’t pick up his scent, so I had to force myself to sleep.Maybe I overreacted, but how could I have known? She was all over him, and he took her to the room.No, you are wrong; I told myself as I curled up in bed, my heart feeling like it would pop out of my chest.Suddenly, his scent swirled around me, causing me to jump out of bed. I grabbed the door, opening it to find the hallway bare, which made my heart sink, but I didn’t stop. With weak legs, I made my way downstairs until I reached the bottom, where I saw him sitting on the couch with his head thrown back. Did he really have to sleep out the whole night?He opened his eyes at once and got to his feet. I expected him to be cold, but then he rushed up to me, pulling me into a hug.“I’m sorry about last night,” I said, wrapping my arms around him with tears in my eyes.“No, I

    Bella:Knowing that Ryder wasn’t coming to get me made me feel a pang of anger that I tried not to let get to me. He was far away on an island in Frost Pack, but I felt he could have spared the day just to be with me. Finn could have easily allowed me to take a bus or sent his father’s men, but he drove to and fro to get me. Ryder couldn’t even do that.I’m just overreacting, I told myself as I made my way out of the house, with Finn following behind.“Are you sure you’ll be okay alone on the trip?” Finn asked, causing me to pause in my tracks. I couldn’t tell yet, and I was about to find out. “I could come with you if you wanted,” Finn said as we continued towards the car with the men suited up carrying my luggage.I let out a sigh of distress. “I’ll be fine, I guess,” I said, tucking my hands in the pocket of my jeans. “See you in a week,” I added, and he sighed, kissing me briefly before pulling away.He let go of me, and I made my way towards the car, only to be pulled back to him

    Bella:Ryder’s nerve was brain-racking. He came back in the middle of the night, spooning me as if he hadn’t done anything wrong, while a used condom lay underneath his bed. The sight made me uneasy, sending sharp, jabbing sensations to my chest that became unbearable with each passing minute. When I couldn’t take it anymore, I slipped his hands away from my body and pushed my feet off the bed.“It’s too early to get up, come back to bed,” he murmured lazily, which only heightened the anger surging through every muscle in my body.I gritted my teeth, taking steady breaths while my hands gripped the sheets tightly. Then I stood up and walked towards the curtain. With a firm grip, I pulled it open, allowing the early morning sunlight to flood the room and disrupt Ryder’s sleep.“Hey, what gives?” he questioned, throwing a pillow over his head. “I’m trying to get some sleep.” His words made my eyebrows shoot up as I marched towards his bed, grabbing the pillow, and flinging it away.He r

    Bella:“Keep your eyes on the mirror.”Those words sent shudders down my body as Ryder grabbed my waist, tilting me to face the mirror. He ran his hands up my thighs, letting them rest on the nightwear beneath my robe. Then his hands moved to the belt, undoing it while he planted kisses on my shoulder, dragging off the robe.I gasped, heat rising in my body as his kisses trailed down my back. I stood briefly, allowing him to remove the robe completely, leaving me in my see-through nightdress, my hardened nipples pressing against the fabric.“Do you see how beautiful you are?” he asked, pulling me back onto his lap. “Or do you want me to show you more?” he whispered in my ear, peering at me through the mirror, intertwining our hands.I swallowed hard, pressing my legs together, barely able to contain the heat within. He ran his hands on my thighs, patting my lap gently, gaining entrance.As his hands rested on my core, he whispered, “Tell me.” He ran his index and middle finger over th

    Bella:“It’s crazy how the days are flying by,” Ryder said, breaking the spell of the book I was engrossed in. I closed it and looked at him as he sat close, lifting my legs onto his lap. His warmth seeped into my skin.“I’ve kept you cooped up here for days, just eating and lounging around. I must be boring you to death,” he said, his voice tinged with concern. His lips puckered in a mock pout, making me smile. I took his hand, sitting up to reassure him.“I love being with you, Ryder. We don’t need anything spectacular. How about a walk?” I suggested, hoping to ease his mind. He sprang to his feet immediately, his sudden energy almost startling me. He began pacing around the room, one hand covering his mouth, the other resting on his waist.It was a familiar sight—Ryder overthinking things again.He suddenly clapped his hands, eyes lighting up with an idea. “I’ve got it!” He rushed over, grabbing my thighs and shaking me gently. “A party! But not just any party, I—”“Let it go,” I i

    Third Person Pov:After a few minutes, Hazel sat up in bed as sweat clung to her skin while she stared blankly at the dark room. The thoughts of what had happened earlier still swirled through her mind, and Riley’s comforting presence next to her did little to soothe the icy knot of fear and dread settling deep in her stomach. Something about the nightmare didn’t feel right—it felt far too vivid, and too real to be just a dream. Her parents’ faces and the accusations in their voices couldn’t be figments of her imagination, and the witch in her refused to let it go.“No,” she whispered in a shaky breath.Riley’s hand rubbed soothing circles on her back. “Hazel, it was just a nightmare. It’s okay—”He tried to convince her with a sleepy voice, but Hazel shook her head sharply, pushing the covers off her body as she swung her legs over the edge of the bed.“It wasn’t just a nightmare, Riley,” she said firmly, trying to steady her voice. Her parents had never come to her, and now that the

    THIRD PERSON POV:One would have thought Bella was crazy because of what she was seeing, but she was far from that. She wasn’t the only one plagued by ghosts, but no one knew this for now. While Bella was battling the ghost of Joseph Black-Moon, Hazel was in the Dusk Pack with Riley, trying to enjoy her weekend.They had spent the entire day driving from the Frost pack to his father’s mansion at a beach with a good ocean view. Finally, they got there in the evening.“My butt hurts,” Hazel groaned as soon as Riley came to a halt in the enormous mansion in front of them.Riley leaned in to kiss her cheek. “You can rest all night now, and we can do whatever we want tomorrow.”He spoke as though he hadn’t been the one driving the entire time while Hazel had done nothing but play songs, read a book, and sleep through the entire ride. They both got down from the car, and Riley took Hazel’s bag from her, grabbing her hand with his other hand, then they made their way to the front door. He sl

    Bella:“What?” I asked, staring at Finn.“Is something wrong?” Finn asked, and I shook my head at once, shutting my book and getting to my feet. “Bella, is something wrong?” I felt a slight shiver as his hands grazed my skin, then I turned to face him.For a moment, I battled with my mind, wondering if I should spill what I knew to him, but if I didn’t, I would have to solve whatever this was, and I didn’t want to follow the same path I did with Fae.“He is the man from my dream last night.” The words came out of my mouth, and Finn stared with his face contorted in confusion.I sighed, then walked back to the bed.“I had a nightmare last night,” I said to him, and he sat close to me as I started narrating everything I could remember from the dream.I ended by saying, “The dream felt so real, and I have a scar from it.” I showed him the mark on my hand, and he ran his hands over it.“According to Hazel, you didn’t kill Bonnie, so why is she mad at you? She should be mad at Sebastian.”

    Bella:Today was cheerful enough for most of the students at Howlstone Academy. The vibrant energy of exam prep filled the air, a relief from the tension that had shadowed the halls two weeks ago when Fae was expelled. There were no bullies lurking around to ruin the day, and for once, I didn’t have to glance over my shoulder, expecting someone to plot my demise.As usual, I walked to class with Hazel and the triplets. The sun streamed through the tall windows, casting long beams across the polished floor, but something about the brightness felt off. It was too cheerful, too perfect. As soon as we stepped into the hallway, the bell blared through the air, startling me.“That’s the bell for class,” Hazel said, her voice snapping me back to reality.“See you guys later,” I said to the triplets, giving them a quick wave as I grabbed Hazel’s hand.We made our way down the corridor, the familiar hum of conversation and footsteps filling the space. At our lockers, I grabbed the books I need

She was a saint when he was around, but the moment he stepped out, the two women were at loggerheads.Herald believed that Evelyn’s constant nagging was from the effects of the pregnancy, so he provided more material things for her without waiting to hear her out each time she tried to complain to him.

On her first night at the Rune pack, she asked for a room where she could be alone, but her mother-in-law laughed.“What do you think you are here for?” she questioned, and Evelyn stared at her, unsure of what she was playing at. “You just got married, and you act like you do not know what couples do on their first night together. I mean, you have done it before, so continue from…”“I didn’t sleep with Herald,” Evelyn said, but Kate didn’t care.She had achieved what she wanted, and she was certain she had secured beautiful and strong grandchildren to take over their lineage.“Lie all you want, child, but you will sleep with your husband tonight, and you both will produce an heir for this family,” she said, and then Evelyn watched the guards move her things into Herald’s chamber.Herald, on the other hand, didn’t return on time that night.

    Bella:I felt the air being knocked out of my lungs as I asked my mother the question. She hurriedly shut the door, then faced me, shaking her head.“Why would you say that, Bella?” she asked, and I shrugged.“That day in your office, when Hazel talked about things that reminded you of the past, you glanced at me. You must not like me that much, and I definitely remind you of something you want to forget,” I said, watching her shut her eyes momentarily.“I do not hate you, Bella, and I never would. Of course, you remind me of my past because you are my daughter, and I’ve had you for sixteen years plus, and—”“Mum, stop!” I cut her off, raising my tone, forcing her to fall silent.I was tired of being driven around in circles. I wanted answers.“I need to know what happened with you and Dad because it kills me every single time I think about it,” I said, and she scoffed, shaking her head.“You do not need to know everything, Bella, and it’s called the past for a reason.

She had sent Emily’s mother to rescue me, and although it didn’t seem like much, I was grateful she was willing to save me even after all her threats to hand me over when I got discovered.As soon as the Stormclaws exited the school, I turned to leave, but my mother reached for my hand.“We are going for a drive,” she said, and I swallowed hard.This time, I didn’t pull away violently. I allowed her touch to seep in, and it felt a little less cold than it always had.“It’s Saturday, and I need to study,” I said, and she shot me a death glare before cocking her head towards her car, which stood in the parking lot.I took a deep breath, walking towards it. As soon as we got into the car and the doors were locked, she placed both hands on her lap, gripping them tightly. My heart raced as I expected her to do something drastic, bu

I didn’t mean it,” Fae tried to apologize, but no one seemed to listen, and the guard grabbed her hand at once.“Take her away, and I will call her parents right away!” Emily’s mother said to the guard, but then Fae bit him in the hand, causing him to yelp in pain.“That’s it!” the man growled, grabbing both hands and putting them behind her.“This isn’t right, and if you do not unhand me, you will face my father. You will face his wrath, I tell you! This isn’t the end, Howlstone!
