EdelineI sighed and took a step forward, placing one foot in front of the other. I reached out and took his hand, maneuvering myself over him to the spot next to the wall.“Why do I have to be on the inside?” I asked with a smirk, rolling onto my side to face him.He brushed his finger gently along my cheek as he locked eyes with me. “Because I’m your protector,” he said, his warm breath sending a shiver down my spine. I couldn’t believe how quickly all my worries melted away whenever he was near.That’s the kind of impact a friend can have on you.They offer a sense of security, making you feel special and unique, like you’re the only one in the world who matters.But I’m not.I couldn’t help but wonder how Tatiana was faring after our confrontation.Percival briefly closed his eyes, his expression thoughtful. “I have no idea. I didn’t stick around. I was too busy searching for you. And then I found this incredible deer carcass in the woods...” A grin spread across his face. “That’s

EdelinePercival let out a long, calming breath. “After our souls connected, we’d be able to sense each other’s desires and needs. We’d fall asleep together, and I’d hold you through the night. In the morning, I’d hurry to make breakfast for you before you woke up. Later, we’d shower together, mostly to avoid any awkwardness with your parents. Then, I’d accompany you back to the pack house, and we’d spend the day together—taking walks, doing whatever you wanted. Maybe I’d convince you to let me pleasure you since you might be sore, and you’d agree.”I couldn’t help but squeal with excitement, my cheeks flushing red. “That sounds amazing.”He continued with a dreamy smile. “Time would pass, and we’d spend so much time together. A few days later, on the day of your heat, we’d have our bonding ceremony. Then, I’d take you to our home and express our love physically, reaffirming our connection. You’d go through your heat with me, and when you felt ready, I’d show you my love in the most t

EdelineThere was someone out there, nearby.Percival heard it too. Our kiss softened, and he gave my lips one last gentle peck before pulling away.“I don’t want to go,” he murmured. “But I’ll do the right thing and respect your decision. First...” His body withdrew from mine, and I felt a chill, my skin craving the warmth of his touch.Now I understood why friends always seem to touch or hold each other. It felt... amazing.I watched with a mix of amusement and interest as Percival made his way to the opposite side of the treehouse. He had to be careful not to hit his head on the ceiling, which was quite a sight given his height of 6'3". He casually removed a piece of wood from the wall and pulled out a small wooden box. It didn’t have any dust on it, indicating it had been put there recently.He looked up at me, a hint of shyness in his eyes, and extended a small, exquisitely crafted wooden box. It was beautiful, the kind of craftsmanship that catches your breath."I made this for

EdelineOnce we reached the house, I shifted back and rushed around to the back deck, where we kept spare clothes for emergencies. I quickly threw on a hoodie and basketball shorts, feeling a bit of relief as I tucked the box into my front pocket. I pulled out the necklace and settled onto the top step of the back porch.The full moon bathed the intricate pattern of the locket in silver light, and I could clearly see the anchor at its center. I ran my fingers over the surface, lost in thought...Why did he say he loved me?Why now?Meeting him a few times might not have been the best decision, but I already knew that.I knew getting attached would only lead to more heartache, but the allure of self-inflicted pain was irresistible. Hanging out with a buddy... it was complicated to describe.I’d always wondered why some wolves chose to reject their mate by mating with others. It wasn’t just a simple rejection; it felt like a deep, almost primal connection to the original partner. Even a

Edeline“Hey, Edeline, I’ve got some errands to run outside the pack today. I’ll be heading into human territory, so I’ll be away for a bit. I’ve left breakfast out, so just put it away if there’s any left,” she said, avoiding eye contact.What on earth could she be up to in the middle of nowhere on a lazy Saturday? “Mom. Love you.”She finally lifted her gaze and looked deeply into my eyes. “I love you too, Edeline. Just hang in there and be patient. I have a feeling everything will work out for you, whether it’s with Percival or someone else who brings you happiness. Tell your brother I love him dearly. I’ll have a one-on-one conversation with him later.” Her eyes were filled with tears, a sign of how stressed she’d been lately. With a soft smile, I gave a nod of agreement before heading upstairs.I lightly knocked on Nixx’s door. “Hey, Nixx, can you open up?”From inside, I heard him sigh, shuffle some sheets, and then the door creaked open. He peeked through with one tired eye and
