Все главы Falling for the wolf : Глава 91 - Глава 100

The silence that followed his words was palpable, as if the world itself had stopped. My father blinked, his face a mask of disbelief and confusion. "What are you saying, Lucas?"Lucas closed his eyes for a moment, as if searching for the courage within himself. Then, before our father's astonished eyes, his body began to change. His human form faded away, replaced by the majestic shape of a wolf.The transformation was quick, but each second felt eternal. Our father's eyes widened, his face paling. "This... this can't be. It's not possible," he murmured, stepping back, unable to process what he was seeing.Lucas, now in his wolf form, approached slowly, his eyes filled with deep sadness. With a fluid motion, he shifted back to his human form, his expression pleading. "Dad, it's true. It always has been. I've hidden this out of fear of your reaction, but I can't continue like this. You need to understand that I'm part of this, part of the pack."Our father staggered, seeking support f

*Eva's POV:*The sun reflected off the tranquil waters of the lake, casting a golden glow that bathed the lakeside house in warm and welcoming light. Laughter filled the air, mingling with the sizzling of the grill and the delicious aroma of cooking food. It was a perfect day, a moment of celebration and peace, the kind of day that seemed to come straight out of a dream.The threat of Riley had vanished, and with it, the shadows that had clouded our lives. I felt a deep sense of relief seeing everyone gathered, relaxed and happy, enjoying each other's company without the weight of secrets and fears.Kessler stood by the grill, joking with Lucas as they tended to the meat. Lucas, with his girlfriend Lottie by his side, couldn't stop smiling. Lottie, a girl with a contagious laugh and vibrant energy, had integrated perfectly into our family and the pack. Seeing my brother so happy filled me with joy.My father was conversing with Kessler's mother, Clara, a woman with a kind demeanor and

"¿What do you want, Amanda?" I pulled away from her grasp. I wasn't a little girl anymore to be intimidated by her."Don't play dumb. With what right do you get so close to my boyfriend and try to defend him as if you were his girlfriend? Get a grip.""I just..." In reality, she was partly right; Kaleb wasn't anything to me, and I had rushed over as if I had some claim over him. I had just been worried about him and acted on instinct. "I just wanted to be kind," I crossed my arms.She laughed."Well, this is the last time you get close to him, or next time you'll deal with me, little Cristine, and I don't care if your father is the..." she fell silent."My father what?""I don't care if your father or mother come to complain to me later. You've been warned," she gave me a shove and walked past me, back to the cafeteria.I followed them. Inside, there was a commotion."Cris!" Maia came over to me, carrying my bag. "What happened?""Nothing. What happened to Kaleb?"I looked past her,

"Cristine... here you are," Mom sighed with relief. I smiled to hide my nervousness; I didn't want her to notice. Mom is an expert at detecting any change in my mood. "Your father and I picked up some pizza for dinner. Do you want some?" She approached and stroked my blonde hair."Sure... I'm really hungry. Where's Damian?" I asked since I hadn't seen him for a while. According to Mom, he was supposed to be on a trip with some friends, but sometimes I doubted certain things. Sometimes I felt like my acquaintances, even my parents, were hiding things from me. I didn't like that."Damian will be back tomorrow, honey. I know you miss him.""A lot."Damian is my older brother, but Gabriel is the eldest. He doesn't live with us; he's studying far away, and we don't know when he'll return."Come on, let's go." We went down to the kitchen where Dad was serving pizza slices on plates. "When are we going to visit Grandma?" I wanted to know, sitting down and starting to eat. "This weekend, how

Feeling Liam kiss me again is strange. It felt like that the first time, but today..."Liam, don't do this," I said, pulling away from him, stopping the kiss. I can't believe that just hours ago I had an encounter with Theo, and now I'm kissing Liam.Liam looked at me, amused."Admit that you liked it.""I'd better go."I turned and started to walk away, but Liam followed me."Cristine, you'll fall into my traps, just wait and see.""You'd better stop here; I don't want to cause more problems with my parents.""It doesn't matter facing your father, Cristine."I stopped abruptly and looked at him."It matters to me because I don't want anyone to ruin our relationship. I love my father too much, and I couldn't let anyone come between us."Liam said nothing, remaining silent and thoughtful. I turned and finally walked away from him. When I got home, I braced for my dad's scolding."Honey, you're back," Mom said, watching TV in the living room. "Your Aunt Anne called and said you were at
