MasukLevi’s POVAs I ate, I couldn’t help but steal a few glances at Daisy. The way she smiled softly as she chewed her food made her look content — and for a moment, I forgot I was sitting across from the Luna herself, in the pack house dining room, eating breakfast like it was the most normal thing in the world.It wasn’t normal for me. I’d never shared a meal with her before, and the weight of her presence was heavy on my shoulders. Every time I reached for my cup, I made sure not to spill or make any sound. I didn’t want to eat too fast, and I did not want to seem nervous. I also didn’t want to show that I disliked the tea bag used for the brew. It was strong and bitter, but I swallowed it anyway.Then, out of nowhere, the Luna spoke.“Daisy.”“Yes, Mom,” Daisy replied, glancing up briefly before taking another bite of her bread.“What are your plans when I leave this pack?” The Luna’s tone was calm, but her eyes were uneasy. “To put it simply, what are your future and current plans fo
Debby’s POVI walked back and forth at the bottom of the stairs in the pack house, trying to stay calm. I already knew she hadn’t slept here — I checked around midnight, thinking maybe she had simply forgotten to say goodnight or had fallen asleep exhausted. But her bed was untouched, and the room was empty.If we were in human territory, I would’ve panicked and probably alerted the police or called all her friends that Cassidy knew by now, but here… we were inside the pack borders. If anything bad had happened, I would have known immediately. Bad news travels fast in a pack, be it through the pack's mind-link or not. Still, the worry sat heavy in my chest.“Morning, Luna,” a soft voice called behind me.I turned slowly. One of the younger she-wolves was standing there with her head bowed, her hands clasped nervously.“Morning,” I answered, forcing a small smile. “You’re here early.”“I came to prepare breakfast,” she said with a gentle smile.“Right… of course. Please go ahead.” I no
Daisy’s POVThe drive back to the pack was quiet yet peaceful in a way that filled me with joy. The wind had calmed, and all I could hear was the hum of the car engine and Levi’s soft breathing beside me. I felt… content. My heart was still fluttering from everything we’d done — the rooftop, the view, the way the sunset painted everything gold. I couldn’t stop thinking about how proud I felt for actually facing my fear of heights. Being up there, above everything, watching the sun melt into the trees — it was magical.We’d talked about silly things, laughed over small jokes, and shared stories about herbs, pack life, and the strange way our pack members sometimes acted around us. I didn’t want it to end. Part of me wished we could’ve stayed out longer — maybe until the stars faded into dawn. But knowing my mother, she’d probably send half the pack to search for me if I didn’t show up soon.“We’re here,” Levi said softly, pulling me out of my thoughts.I looked up and saw the familiar
Levi’s POVI drove with a quiet smile tugging at my lips while I stole glances at Daisy every now and then. Seeing her lift her hand into the air, her hair flowing behind her as the wind touched her face, made me so relieved that I’d taken my open car. The sun was setting, and the air was cool.Her eyes were closed, and she looked at peace. Comfortable. Perfect and happy.I refused to take her to that place in our pack for a phone signal because I knew the risk. What if it triggered something — a memory, a voice, a single flash that would bring everything back? The Daisy sitting beside me was the mate I had waited for. She didn’t look at me as the pack’s healer or the quiet guy everyone pitied. She saw me. The real me. And for once, she didn’t want to change a damn thing about it. That alone was more than I’d ever dreamed of.When she opened her eyes and caught me staring, I couldn’t help but smile back.She smiled widely before raising both hands into the air, letting out a carefree
Daisy’s POVThe moment I caught Levi’s scent, something in me reacted instinctively. My wolf stirred, alert and excited in my mind. I didn’t even think twice—I rushed out of my room, my heart pounding as I hurried down the stairs.Mom stood in the hallway, her eyes wide in surprise, while Levi was right beside her, a familiar soft smile on his face. Just seeing him made my chest flutter.“Wow,” Mom said, blinking fast. “How did you even know I was back? I just stepped into the pack house?”I opened my mouth but didn’t answer. My smile faded just a little. My gaze drifted from her to Levi. Something about them standing together made me pause. It wasn’t jealousy exactly, but… unease. Why was he with her?Without thinking, I moved closer and grabbed Levi’s arm, my eyes locking onto his. “Did she tell you something sad? Or… did she scold you?” I asked directly.“Daisy,” Mom warned in the calm but sharp tone she used whenever she thought I was being too blunt.“What?” I asked, frowning at
Debby’s POVMy heart beat wildly as Jay’s line rang again and again.For a moment, I thought it wouldn’t connect — like every other time — but then I finally heard his voice.“Sweetheart, finally you called me,” he said in relief, and just like that, a wide smile spread across my face.The sound of his voice melted my heart as my wolf purred softly in satisfaction. Hearing him again felt like breathing after being underwater for too long.“I’ve been trying to reach you every day,” he said, his voice laced with exhaustion. “But no matter where I went or what network I used, your line just wouldn’t go through. Even when I found a good signal, it still wouldn’t connect.”My smile faltered as guilt hit me hard.Knowing he had been trying every day — that he had been waiting, worried — made my heart ache badly. I missed him terribly too, him and our little girl. But everything here demanded my time and attention. I was always surrounded by paperwork, files, and endless faces that needed co
