101: PAST AND PRESENT

LISA’S POVWe sit in silence for a brief moment before he speaks again, his voice soft, “You’re just like your father, you know,” he chuckles, looking at me with a nostalgic smile.“Now that’s a first,” I couldn’t help but smile in return, a sense of pride swelling in my chest. I’ve always longed for someone to tell me I remind them of my parents. It never happened before, and for some reason, hearing it now stirred something in me, a mix of joy and sadness.“And it’s the truth,” he continued, “Your father was just like you, always trying to see the best in people, always believing there was good in everyone’s actions.”“I bet he did. It’s only fair with all those philosophical words he always had to say,” I replied, trying to sound casual, though the memory of my father’s endless life lessons made me feel a little heavy inside.“You have a point right there,” he says, and we both burst into a fit of laughter, the tension lifting for a moment, replaced by a fleeting sense of ease.As

102: FRAGILE LINES

LISA’S POVBefore I can spit out another word, Ronan swoops in and scoops Nancy into his arms like he’s some kind of superhero. "I don’t know what happened, but the way you’re handling this isn’t right, Lisa," he says, his voice calm but dripping with judgment.Seriously? My jaw tightens as I bite back the urge to tell him to shut the hell up and disappear back into whatever fantasy world he’s been living in while I’ve been here juggling everything. Who does he think he is, barging in like the parent of the year? The audacity. Just because the kids call him “Daddy” now and Salvy is starting to warm up to him doesn’t mean he gets to waltz in and give me parenting advice. I’ve been raising these kids solo while he was nowhere to be found, and now he thinks he can critique my every move? Right in front of them, too? Ugh.I turn my attention back to the shattered vase, gingerly picking up the bigger pieces and stacking them aside. When Gareth returns with a broom, we go back and forth ov

103: I SEE THROUGH YOU!

LISA’S POV"I hate taco nights so much," Gemma complains as she places a taco on her plate, piling extra meat and sour cream on top."Why’s that?" I ask, pouring some rice onto mine."Because…" she adds another taco to her already full plate, "It's so unhealthy," she says, before taking an enormous bite.I don’t know if I should let the laugh bubbling in my chest out or just keep quiet. It's amusing how she keeps going on about how unhealthy the menu is while loading up her plate with all the unhealthy options.She’s got three tacos, a bowl of cream dip, French fries, and a huge glass of soda. Meanwhile, my plate looks much lighter just rice with a tofu sauce, an egg, and a single taco. Not that my meal is the picture of health, but at least I’m not drowning it all with a giant soda and three tacos."Why do you have three tacos if it's so unhealthy?" Vale speaks my mind before I can."Mind your business, Vale. I wasn’t talking to you," Gemma snaps, walking beside me as we head to the

104: PATHETIC CLAIMS

LISA'S POV "I don’t know how this whole thing happened, but she’s pathetic. I don’t know what lie she told you to make you believe she’s an angel, or whatever, to the point that you feel safe enough to kiss her cheek, much less eat from the same plate as her!" Astrid sneered, her voice dripping with venom.“Astrid,” Ronan cautioned, his voice low, “whatever—”“Whatever Astrid thinks is none of my business,” I interrupted, cutting him off before he could finish. I was done with him and Gemma trying to speak for me like I was deaf or incapable of standing up for myself. I have my own voice, and I can speak for myself just fine.I turned to Sergei, who was seated comfortably on his father’s lap. "Hey, Sergei, can you go play with your brothers?" I asked him gently. Without a word, he nodded and hopped down from Ronan’s lap, running off without hesitation. Whatever was about to go down, I didn’t want him witnessing it. My children didn’t need to see this side of me. But Astrid? She was

105: REGRETFUL APPOLOGIES

LISA'S POV“Lisa,” Gemma calls out between breaths, finally catching up to me. She grabs my wrist, breathing heavily. I have to fight every instinct in my body to keep walking. “Lisa, please,” she pleads, pulling me with force, making me stop in my tracks.“Can we just talk for a moment?” I don’t know why she’s following me. Astrid didn’t fully explain things, but even though she didn’t recognize me before, she definitely does now. And if she recognizes me, I don’t see why Gemma is chasing after me right now.“We don’t have anything to talk about. Everything that needed to be said has been said, in there” I reply, motioning toward the dining room with my head.“No,” she insists, her tone resolute. “What was said in there was nothing. It wasn’t a civil conversation. Astrid just showed how much of a wolf she is and none of her human side. I can’t even imagine how you must be feeling right now. I want to clear things up please.” Desperation is written all over her face, her eyes red and

106: A CONFESSION

LISA'S POV I lean in, listening closely, curious about what Gemma has to say before I respond. Even before she speaks, I already know that no matter what, she will always be a friend to me, even if it’s only for a short time.“When we first met at the pack house, I knew exactly who you were,” Gemma begins, her voice trembling slightly. “And I knew Nancy was your daughter. I’ve been trying to find a way to start a conversation with you, but I didn’t know how. So when I found our girls playing together, becoming friends, I thought... if I brought Nancy home, you’d have to talk to me.”I’m not sure if I should be angry or amused by this revelation. It’s strange to think she’s been carrying this around the entire time.“And I wanted to apologize from the very first moment, but... I just didn’t. Every time I tried, something got in the way, or I had to leave, or I chickened out. I was terrified that if you found out who I was, you’d be furious. I thought maybe you’d forgotten about me...

107: MORE THAN APOLOGIES

LISA'S POVAs much as I wanted to stay with Gemma longer, I couldn’t. Well, because Kyle had brought her kids back, and sitting in the same room as Kyle only happens when absolutely necessary. Other than that, you won’t ever find me willingly sharing a space with him.For some reason, he despises me. Every time he looks at me, I get the distinct impression he's seconds away from snapping and pouncing. Lucky for him, the feeling is mutual. If he ever tries anything, I’ll be more than ready to reciprocate.Anyway, Gemma needed to get her girls ready for bed, and so did I. I had to check on the kids myself because I doubted Ronan would handle it properly.After saying my goodbyes, I made my way back to our chambers.When I entered, Ronan was seated on the couch. Not surprising. But the kids were nowhere to be found.Did he forget about them? I just came up alone! "Where are the children?" I demanded, my voice edged with concern."In their room, sleeping," he responded nonchalantly.I rai

108: WHERE I BELONG

LISA’S POV“What is it?”“What can I do to get you to forgive me?”“I already told you, I’ve forgiven you, so you can be on your way.” Everything has been cleared up, so there’s no need for these questions.“Okay, let me rephrase my question. What do I have to do to get you to open up to me? What do I need to do to get you to give us a chance, because I want to work things out between us.”The air around me seems to freeze. I thought I’d made myself clear a thousand times before: we can’t be together. He and I are not meant to be. We just… aren’t.“Ronan, like I’ve said before, we can’t be together. You and I will never work.”“And why won’t we work?” he cuts me off mid sentence, his voice sharp. “Why won’t we work, Lisa?”“Well, for starters, I don’t want to be your mistress.”“Why would you be my mistress?”“Isn’t it obvious? You have a mate, Ronan. I might not know her, nor do I owe her anything, but I wouldn’t do that to her. I wouldn’t like it if I were in her shoes.”Ronan lets

109: SUDDEN REALISATION.

LISA'S POVI find myself standing in a field of lilies, the moonlight shining down on the delicate flowers, making them glimmer as if they've been dusted with magic. It’s peaceful here, so serene and quiet. There’s no one else, just me and the endless sea of flowers as I walk barefoot on the soft grass beneath me. I don't know how I got here, but I feel content, as if this is where I was always meant to be.As I continue deeper into the field, I notice something or rather, someone. Another girl is standing a little way ahead, her back turned to me. Her dress looks exactly like mine, except hers is a pristine white, whereas mine is black. My heart skips a beat at the sight of another person, a wave of relief and happiness washing over me. I haven’t seen a single soul since arriving here, and I can’t explain why seeing her brings me so much joy.“Hello!” I call out, my voice echoing through the stillness. She doesn’t turn around. Without thinking, I rush forward, weaving through rows of

110: GIVE US A CHANCE

RONAN'S POV"I don't understand this." Lisa pulls away from me, her hand slipping from mine, her eyes glossy with tears on the verge of spilling. It takes everything in me not to reach for her and hold her tighter. But I can’t. Not now. I have to act carefully. "Why are you my mate?" she asks, her voice so soft that I almost don’t hear her. It takes me a second to register her words, and when I do, the impact feels like a punch to the gut, or even worse than that. "Why does it have to be you?" she adds, her tone carrying both frustration and sadness. My chest tightens painfully. I don’t know whether to feel angry, hurt, or just broken. But I push those emotions down, gripping her hand softly, hoping she doesn’t pull away again. "I know what I did to you was unforgivable, Lisa," I whisper, my thumb brushing over her knuckles. "You have every right to feel the way you do. I know this is a lot to take in... but please, don’t act on it just yet. Give it some time." She looks
