She belonged

Reuben’s POVI leaned back in my chair, letting the soft glow of the desk lamp cast long shadows across the room. The air smelled faintly of old wood and leather, the familiar scent grounding me as I drummed my fingers on the armrest. My phone buzzed on the table beside me, the name flashing across the screen bringing a slow, satisfied smile to my lips.“Miriam,” I answered smoothly, my voice low and calm.“It’s done,” she said without preamble, her voice clipped and professional. Miriam was always efficient, and that’s why I trusted her with this delicate task.“Tell me everything,” I said, leaning forward now, my focus sharpening.She hesitated for a moment, the faint sound of the car’s engine humming in the background. “The timing was perfect. Lila was busy, probably chasing after one of her endless whims. Luna Joan didn’t suspect a thing. Honestly, I’m not sure she even noticed I was there.”I chuckled, the sound dark and full of amusement. “And Ronan?”“He left early, just like y

Us inside

Emily’s POVThe moment my phone rang, my heart skipped a beat. The house was too quiet, and the unease in my chest grew with every passing second as I fumbled to answer the call. My voice trembled as I spoke. “Lila?”“Hey, Emily,” she answered brightly, completely unaware of the storm brewing inside me.“How are the babies?” I asked, skipping pleasantries. My twins had just turned a year old, and any mention of them tugged at every maternal nerve in my body.“They’re fine,” she said casually. “They went to bed a while ago. The nanny took them back to their rooms since.”I closed my eyes, my stomach twisting. Something didn’t feel right. “Lila, can you go check on them for me? Right now?” I tried to keep my voice steady, but the urgency was impossible to mask.There was a long pause on the other end. “Emily, seriously? They’re asleep—”“Just check, Lila!” My voice broke, and I blinked back the tears threatening to spill.“Okay, okay,” she muttered, clearly confused but willing to compl

Do too

Ethan’s POVThe second Emily mentioned Reuben’s name, a rage unlike anything I’d ever felt surged through me. That bastard. My hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly I thought it might crack. My jaw clenched so hard it hurt, but the pain didn’t matter. Reuben had crossed a line this time, and I swore he’d regret it. I cursed him under my breath, a litany of expletives rolling off my tongue, but none of them were enough to express the fury burning inside me.I glanced at Emily beside me. She sat curled up in the passenger seat, tears streaking her face as she clutched her arms around herself like they were the only thing keeping her together. My chest ached seeing her like this—broken, vulnerable, terrified. Reuben had stolen more than her kids tonight; he’d stolen her peace, and I wanted to rip him apart for it.“He’s not getting away with this,” I muttered, mostly to myself, but Emily heard me. She turned her head slightly, her red-rimmed eyes meeting mine. She didn’t say anythi

Was wait

Emily's POVThe tension in the air was palpable. I could feel it crawling beneath my skin as I stood frozen in the foyer, staring at the stormy faces of Alpha Ronan and Caden. The sound of their footsteps echoed down the hallway, heavy with anger, and my pulse quickened in response.Lila stood at the center of it all, her eyes burning red, a reflection of the fury that seemed to pulse from her like an electric charge. I had seen her angry before, but this? This was different. The wolf within her was practically vibrating, her aura fierce and untamable, and I felt the pressure of it suffocating me."Where is he?" Lila’s voice cut through the air like a blade, her words laced with an edge so sharp I could almost feel the weight of them pressing against my chest.Caden, standing just behind her, was no better. His usually composed demeanor had shattered, and in its place was a feral intensity that made my heart skip a beat. He didn’t even try to hide it. The tension between him and Lila

Behind again

Emily's POVThe house was silent after they left. The air still felt charged with the anger and urgency they carried. I should have felt relieved that they were taking action, but all I could do was stand there, my hands trembling as I tried to process everything that had happened in the last few minutes.My heart beat like a war drum in my chest, echoing in my ears as I took a few steps forward, glancing over my shoulder toward the closed door where Caden, Lila, and Ronan had disappeared moments ago. I knew they were headed for the basement.But something inside me tugged at me. The fear that had gripped me earlier had never fully faded. I couldn’t just stay behind and do nothing. It wasn’t in me to just sit by while they fought, while danger loomed so close. I wasn’t like them—I wasn’t a werewolf, I wasn’t part of their world in the way they were, but I still had a role to play, didn’t I?A soft voice broke through my thoughts.“Lila, stay here,” Caden said, his voice low but firm a

Went dark

Emily’s POVI sat on the cold bathroom floor, my head resting against the sink as I tried to catch my breath. My stomach churned, and my whole body felt like it was spinning out of control. The feeling was all too familiar. The nausea, the dizziness, the waves of exhaustion—it was overwhelming. I could hear Lila’s voice faintly through the bathroom door, and then her footsteps, growing closer.When she entered the room, her face was taut with concern, her brow furrowed as she knelt in front of me. I could feel her gaze on me before she even spoke, her presence steady and familiar, like a pillar I could lean on.“Emily,” Lila said, her voice soft yet demanding. “Let me check your pulse.”I groaned, brushing my hair from my face, trying to push myself up but failing to find the strength to do so. “Lila, stop asking me weird questions. I’m fine,” I muttered, my words slurred as my mind struggled to focus.But she was insistent. She always was. She took my wrist gently in her hands, her f

Us forever

Ethan’s POVI walked into the room, the weight of the conversation I was about to have pressing heavily on my shoulders. Caden was already standing by the large windows, his back to me, staring out at the vast expanse of land outside. His shoulders were tense, every line of his body wound tight with the strain of the situation.Alpha Ronan was seated at the large, oak table in the center of the room, his hands folded together, his posture regal and unyielding. I could feel the strength of his presence, even from across the room. It was that quiet authority that made him so imposing.I knew what I had to say. I just didn’t know if I had the courage to say it.As I moved further into the room, my mind raced. Emily. Lila. The pregnancy. The mess Reuben had created. The twins still out there, in danger, and I could see it all unraveling faster than any of us were prepared for.I cleared my throat before I spoke, breaking the thick silence that seemed to hang in the air. “Alpha Ronan,” I s

The war

Ethan’s POVThe forest was eerily quiet, the air thick with tension. My pulse pounded in my ears as I led the way through the thick trees. Every step felt heavier than the last, each footfall a reminder of what we were about to face. The twins were close. Too close. I could almost taste the fear in the air, the bitter tang of it sinking into my chest.The plan had been simple: get in, get them out, and deal with whatever came next. But there was no plan for what was about to happen. The forest was quiet now, too quiet, like the calm before a storm, and I could feel it deep in my bones.As we moved deeper, I could sense them—Reuben and his men—waiting. Their presence, looming in the shadows, thickened the air. The anger was palpable, like a storm cloud ready to burst. I didn’t know what to expect, but I knew one thing for sure: we were walking into a confrontation that could change everything.When we finally reached the clearing, there they were. Reuben stood at the edge of the trees,

Her again

Ethan’s POVThe tension in the air was thick with the weight of what had just transpired. My wolf, still surging with adrenaline, felt like it was still in the thick of the fight, the echo of my claws scraping against Reuben’s skin. But the battle was over. Reuben had been captured, and now all that remained was to ensure that the twins were safe and that justice was done.I couldn’t help but glance over at the twins as I carried them, still unconscious but alive—thank the gods. The small bodies of the children felt impossibly light in my arms, but the fear gnawing at me wasn’t going away anytime soon. I could already imagine the damage done to them—mentally and physically. The kind of trauma they would have to overcome.As I moved through the woods, my thoughts kept drifting back to Emily. Her tear-streaked face haunted me. She’d been through too much—more than anyone should have to endure. I hated that Reuben had forced her to go through all this, but at least, for now, we had saved

It together

Emily’s POVThe morning was crisp, the air just chilly enough to make me wish I had a scarf but not so cold that it drove me inside. I had grabbed my camera before heading out, planning on capturing the beauty of the city and the world around me for my blog. It wasn’t the most glamorous job, but I loved it—those quiet moments, the things most people overlooked, caught forever through the lens of my camera. I had started blogging as a way to reclaim some of my life after everything that had happened with Reuben, and over the past two months, it had been an escape. But now, it felt like something more—a way to share what I had found in the quiet spaces between moments, my own healing journey.I’d never been much of a morning person, but I had to admit, there was something beautiful about the way the world woke up. The soft golden hue of the rising sun filtering through the trees, the chirping of the birds, and the occasional rustle of leaves as a gentle breeze blew through the streets.
