I nodded against his chest, trying to take comfort in his words. But the fear still lingered, gnawing at the edges of my thoughts. Leo seemed to sense my unease, and after a few moments, he pulled back slightly, his eyes soft with concern.“Why don’t we try to get some rest?” he suggested gently. “It’s been a long day, and we both could use some sleep.”I managed a small nod, grateful for the reprieve. Leo guided me to the bed, and we settled in under the covers. The warmth of his body next to mine was soothing, and as he wrapped his arm around me, I felt some of the tension ease from my shoulders.“Selene,” he murmured after a few minutes of silence, his voice low and comforting. “Everything will be okay. We’ll get through this together.”I didn’t have the energy to respond, but I squeezed his hand, hoping he understood how much his words meant to me. Eventually, his breathing slowed, and I realized he had drifted off to sleep. But despite my exhaustion, I couldn’t find the same peac

The next morning, I woke up with a heaviness in my chest that had nothing to do with the pregnancy. Leo was still asleep beside me, his arm draped protectively over my waist. I gently shifted out from under his arm, careful not to wake him, and got dressed quietly. My thoughts were consumed with one person: Ethan.I had to see him. We hadn’t spoken much since Caleb’s death, and the guilt of avoiding him was gnawing at me. I knew he was grieving, and part of me was afraid of how he would react to the news about the baby. But I couldn’t keep putting it off. I had to face him, to offer whatever comfort I could, even if it felt insufficient.As I made my way to the cabin where Ethan had been staying, the path seemed longer than usual, each step heavy with dread. The forest was quiet, the only sound the crunch of leaves beneath my feet. When I reached the cabin, I paused at the door, gathering the courage to knock.After a moment, I rapped softly on the wooden door. There was no answer at

The weeks leading up to the wedding were a whirlwind of preparations, emotions, and growing anticipation. My belly had grown noticeably, and with it, so had the excitement surrounding the arrival of our child. Leo and I spent most of our days planning for both the wedding and the baby, juggling appointments with the doctor and visits to wedding planners. Clara, who had initially been distant, had grown closer to me, much to my relief. She seemed to have accepted me, and our bond had strengthened in ways I hadn’t expected.One afternoon, just a few days before the wedding, Clara and I were sitting together in the living room, going over the final details for the ceremony.“I can’t believe the big day is almost here,” Clara said, her eyes bright with excitement. “It feels like just yesterday you and Leo were… well, everything was different.”I smiled, resting a hand on my swollen belly. “I know what you mean. Everything has changed so quickly. But I’m glad things are the way they are no

The rest of the night passed in a haze of worry and exhaustion. Despite my best efforts, sleep eluded me. Every time I closed my eyes, Jess’s cryptic message played on a loop in my mind, refusing to let me rest. The darkness outside seemed to press in on me, making my fears worse. I felt anxious because of the note, even though it was tucked away in the drawer of our bedside table, as if its mere presence in the house was enough to unsettle the air around us.Leo slept soundly beside me, one arm protectively draped over my waist, his body a warm and comforting presence. I envied his ability to find peace in these moments. For him, the world was as it should be—we had a beautiful son, the pack was thriving, and our enemies had been defeated. But for me, the shadows of doubt and fear had returned with that single, ominous message.What did Jess want?Where was she?What was her goal?: How was she still a threat when we had been so sure she was gone for good?How was she alive ?The qu
