MIAI pulled away, my heart drumming. “D-Dilan. How are you here?” I hadn't prepared myself to see him again. I didn't know what to say.Dilan was dressed in a white shirt and black pants. His hair was rough, but in a way that looked intentional. His face wasn't happy, but it wasn't sad either—though looking deep, I could see the latter more.I didn’t know if it was just to me. But… everyone seemed so different now.“I came late last night but missed all the action,” he chuckled. “It’s crazy, isn’t it?”I nodded. My mind immediately went to Khalid. What would he do if he found out Dilan was here?“Eva told me what happened,” he said, looking at me. My breath hitched when our eyes met, and I had to look away.“Okay,” I responded, not knowing what else to say.“Seriously, you made the right choice. I’m not offended one bit. I’m saying this just in case there's a 0.00001 percent chance you think I am.”I snorted, playing along with his joke. “I don’t care if you’re offended. Who do you t

MIAKhalid jumped off the bed. As he looked down, our eyes met, and I got the message immediately. He was going to check who was at the door. I got off the bed too, noticing for the first time that I was wearing something else. One of the maids—or more likely, Khalid—must have helped me change. I began to wonder how long I’d slept, then remembered that Khalid mentioned it was already morning.As I followed slowly behind him, thoughts of the previous day kept flashing in my mind. How had I managed to avoid being killed by that soldier? Back when Eva commented on how strong my push had been, I hadn't believed her. But after everything that happened yesterday, I finally started to believe I was actually stronger than I imagined.I thought Khalid would ask who was at the door first, but instead, he opened it like he’d been praying the person on the other side had come for a fight. He didn’t open the door fully, so I couldn't see out at first.“Y-your Greatness,” a very familiar voice said

MIABefore Khalid could even reach him, the guards had already seized the man. But they didn’t stop Khalid from dragging the assassin from their hands while they hurried to attend to the Alpha. All the servants were screaming. People were moving back and forth in a frantic blur of confusion.I just stood there watching, my legs seemingly tied to the ground. The man who had stabbed the Alpha was dressed in black, and though I couldn’t see him clearly, I could tell he was older than Khalid—maybe even a decade older.Khalid punched him repeatedly, his movements so fast they made my vision blur. He dragged the man, whose face was already bloodshot, toward a nearby pillar, not giving him a single chance to breathe.“Who sent you? Who did this? My brother?!” Khalid was shaking him violently. But the man’s eyes were half-shut from the beating, and even with the blood masking his face, I watched as he smiled in sick accomplishment.Meanwhile, Alpha William had been rushed away. More than half

MIAAfter driving several hours away from the city, we made a stop at a small town. It was early afternoon. Khalid said I needed to eat lunch, as we’d soon completely be out of the human lands—and then our next stop would have to be at the pack.Too tired to argue, I got out of the car and followed him into a restaurant. But the reality was that I only needed to use the bathroom. Minutes later, when I was done, I returned to meet him in the restaurant. But I froze when I saw the amount of food on the table.Khalid wasn’t eating but had his attention on a book I’d seen on the table when we walked in. When I left for the bathroom, our table was empty, so why did he order all of this food when I never even told him I was hungry in the first place?I stood there, frowning at him, but he still didn’t remove his attention from the book he was reading. “Be fast, please. There’s no time to waste.”“But there’s food to waste, obviously. Because I’m not eating these.”The place was half-filled,

MIA“We should go somewhere covered, then shift and run together,” I said to Khalid, smiling as I wrapped my arms around him.It felt like I was flying—as if I was literally in the clouds. No words could ever explain the emotions flowing through me right now. We’d managed to cross the expressway to the other side without being detected, but now, Khalid kept looking around. Maybe it was because of the joy and satisfaction in my stomach, but I wasn’t even bothered about our surroundings anymore.Suddenly, Khalid freed his arms from mine and held my hand instead. “We’ll do that when we get back to the pack. Not here.”“But…” I began to argue, then stopped. “Wait, how did you get to the human world? And how are we going back?”“I came with my car,” he said, scanning the area. Several people were starting to walk past us, and our faces were still exposed. It was then the fear slowly entered my chest again. I began to understand why he seemed so paranoid.“Where is your car?”“At the hotel,

MIAWe’ve finally left Steve’s house. I had my hand in Khalid’s palm as he led me forward toward the same path we arrived at last night.My heart was heavy, and my head was occupied with thoughts that made it difficult to walk. After Steve’s story and his advice to us, we had talked for some more time. Khalid even stepped aside with him so they could talk alone. Shortly after they came back, Khalid told me that we were leaving. Of course, I knew we had to leave soon. But at that moment, something clamped at my chest. I hadn't known Steve or the house for even a day, and yet I felt so familiar with him and everything.When I looked at Steve, he’d smiled at me and said he hoped to see us one day—maybe when we had kids, so he'd tell them about our time in his house. I smiled back and let out a little laugh. But regretfully, a tear also fell from my eyes. I wiped it off before anyone could ask questions.There was a jarring intensity of pain in Steve’s house. I just knew he would go back
