Sydney

I awoke to a feeling of soreness, my body weary from the events of the previous night. As I opened my eyes, I became acutely aware of the strong arms enveloping me, holding me close. A sigh escaped my lips, a mix of contentment and unease. While the night had been undeniably amazing, a lingering discomfort remained, as I knew deep down that I was merely a substitute for someone else.

Every day, I reminded myself of this unfortunate reality, the knowledge gnawing at me. Yet, in the moments when his arms enclosed me and his lips explored my body, all those lies I had constructed melted away. I became intoxicated by him, craving his touch like nothing I had ever experienced before. With the gentlest of contact, he could make me melt like a scoop of ice cream in the heat of summer.

I mean, I had turned into a freakin' werewolf, and Sebastian knew I wasn't Natalia but Sydney. And yet, there he was, letting me chill on the same bed as him, giving me comfort without even saying a word or bombarding me with questions.His body was like a cozy furnace, radiating warmth and making me feel safe in the middle of that whole mess.

    SYDNEYMy fingers danced nervously over the phone's keypad as I dialed Romeo's number. The urgency in my chest fueled the anxiety in my voice when he finally picked up."Romeo, it's Sydney," I blurted out, the words tumbling over each other. "I need your advice. Should I head to Natalia's now? Something just doesn't feel right, like there's an eerie cloud hanging over her due date."There was a pause on the other end, and then he asked, "What's going on?"It's hard to explain," I began, struggling to find the right words. "It's like there's something malevolent inside her, something beyond the ordinary. I can't shake this feeling that the child she's carrying isn't just a bundle of joy. It's like there's a darkness, and it's threatening both her and the baby."I could almost hear Romeo furrowing his brow on the other end. "Darkness? What do you mean?"I mean, it's as if there's an evil presence in her womb," I confessed, my voice dropping to a hushed tone. "And I'm afraid that once that chi

"I warned you, Elvina! Stay away from Natalia!" You could practically feel the echoes of my caution lingering in the charged air around us. Elvina's eyes were a storm of defiance as she forcefully pulled my hand away from her shoulder. Her words were sharp, cutting through the room. "You can't control me.

"Romeo," I began, my voice a delicate symphony tinged with excitement, "have you managed to reach Sebastian? I can't bear the agonizing wait any longer—I need to see Dahlia."Romeo's eyes, a canvas of uncertainty, met mine as he shook his head, "I haven't been able to get in touch with him yet, Natalia."A surge of frustration tightened its grip on my chest, like a vine constricting around my heart.
