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: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: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:“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

Bella:Despite my vacation nearing its end and the unsettling possibility of Sebastine stalking me from the shadows, I woke up with a wide smile. For now, I felt on top of the world. The triplets had gone off in their various ways to prove their worthiness, sometimes making me feel undeserving. Yet, this was all part of the Moon goddess’s design, and she knew best.I opened my eyes slowly, careful not to disturb Ryder’s firm hold on me. His steady breath against my neck was a comforting rhythm, but I needed a moment to myself. I wriggled out of his arms, slipping quietly out of bed, and made my way to the balcony. The chilly morning air greeted me, biting at my skin, but the view was worth it.The snow-covered beach stretched out before me, meeting the icy waters of the ocean. Birds chirped in the trees nearby, their melodies echoing in the calm air. I gripped the railings, feeling the support of the balustrades beneath my fingers, and let the serene scene wash over me.Suddenly, Ryde
