Chapter: Chapter 12~Liv~ My phone buzzed sometime past midnight.Unknown number. But I knew who it was before I even picked up.I rolled onto my side and smiled into the pillow before answering. “You’re late.”“Or maybe,” Tariq’s voice came through, smooth but a little tired, “you just sleep too early.”“I was up,” I said, pretending to yawn dramatically. “Had a date with my thoughts. You interrupted.”He chuckled, low and easy. “You’re welcome. So… did you at least think about me?”“Wow, confident much?”“Just curious,” he said. “It’s not every day I get called fine by someone who clearly meant irresistible.”I laughed out loud. “You’re ridiculous.”“And yet, you picked up.”Touché.We talked. About everything and nothing.How he once spilled wine on a model during Fashion Week.How I once walked into a glass door because I thought it was automatic.He called me “chaotic elegance.” I told him that wasn’t a real phrase. He said he just made it one.Then somehow, we started debating whether cereal coun

Chapter: Chapter 11~Tessa~The elevator chimed softly, and the silver doors slid open into a space that felt like it had stepped straight out of a magazine spread.Marble floors. Gold rimmed mirrors. Mannequins dressed in half finished designs standing like silent guards.Riri nudged my arm lightly. “We’re really here,” she whispered, half laughing, half in awe.I smiled, though my stomach was a tangle of nerves. “You mean we as in “they actually picked us?’”Ahead, a sleek woman in her early thirties, dressed in an all black jumpsuit and red heels, waited for the new interns.“Good morning, everyone,” she began crisply. “Welcome to T Fashion House. I’m Nora. You’ll be working under me for the next three months. That means you’ll learn, you’ll run errands, you’ll cry but you’ll also grow.”Soft laughter filled the room. Ten of us in total, including Riri and I . A small, bright group of dreamers with notebooks clutched to their chests and hope stitched in their eyes.Nora led them through the design flo

Chapter: Chapter 10~Tessa- My voice was shaky. “Liv, this is Tariq. Tariq from T Fashion House. The Tariq I’ve been talking about for months!” Liv frowned, confused. “Wait, like… the fashion house? The one you recently sent an emails to?” “Yes!” Tessa shouted, half thrilled, half exasperated. “And you were casually talking to him last night like he’s just some random T!” Liv snatched the card back, staring at it properly for the first time. The embossed silver logo shimmered under the morning light. “Oh.” “Oh?” I repeated, incredulous. “That’s all you have to say?” Liv shrugged, still dazed. “I didn’t even know him. But it was a good conversation.” Sophie snorted. “Classic Liv, meets a literal fashion mogul and says ‘oh.’” I shook my head, but there was a small smile tugging at my lips. “Well, since you already enjoyed talking to him, don’t ruin it by acting starstruck now. Just… be you.” Before Liv could answer, Zara’s voice broke in. “Ladies, our ride’s outside. Let’s move before the driver l

Chapter: Chapter 9~Liv I leaned one elbow on the bar, sipping my drink slowly, the ice clinking softly in the glass. Tariq hadn’t moved since he introduced himself still leaning casually, still studying me with that quiet kind of intensity that made me want to fidget but also… didn’t. He was easy to talk to, which was dangerous. “So Olivia,” he said, rolling the name like he enjoyed the sound. “Tell me something. You always the type to spend half a party watching your friends instead of enjoying yourself?” I blinked, caught. I had just turned my head a moment ago to glance at the girls. All of them were laughing on the dance floor except now they weren’t alone. Somewhere between shots and bass drops, each of them had picked up dance partners. Tessa was grinning like she hadn’t in weeks, Sophie had her hands in the air like the DJ was her religion, and even Zara..Zara! was twirling like she was born to. Liana wasn’t even left out! I smiled, a soft, private curve of her lips. “Busted. I just wante

Chapter: Chapter 8~Liv The moment we stepped inside, I forgot all about the creaking dock. The yacht’s interior was every shade of indulgence gleaming floors of dark wood polished so fine they caught the shimmer of chandelier light, champagne buckets filled with ice that sparkled like diamonds, and curved leather lounges tucked along the sides. A glass staircase arched to the upper deck, catching the reflection of golden light and city glitter off the waves. Everywhere I looked, people glittered too designer dresses, sharp suits, champagne glasses tilted in laughter. “VIP everywhere,” Sophie whispered at my side, looping her arm through mine. “But this…” she pointed toward the glass railed stairs where our host was waving us over, “this is VIP VIP.” We followed, heels clicking, laughter bubbling between us, and were ushered to a lounge on the upper deck. It was quieter here, more refined the music still pulsed but lower, velvet seating curved in elegant circles, and the panoramic windows gave the il

Chapter: Chapter 7The week dragged and disappeared all at once , maybe because I’d done absolutely nothing but refresh my inbox. Everyone said the T-Fashion House review process was glacial because the boss handled every application himself. Him being careful, exacting and torturous. The door to my room flew open with a bang. Sophie stormed in first, with the others trialing behind her like chicks chasing a mother hen.. “Your hair is going to grow white before you even hit thirty Tess” I blinked from my laptop. “What does that even mean “ It means if you keep burying your head you keep frying your eyes with that screen and acting like sunlight is a myth.” Liana hopped onto the bed beside me, words drawn out like she was scolding a child. Rolling my eyes, I dimmed the brightness on my phone and angled it away. “Better? Look no more blue light apocalypse. Maybe I’ll even change my posture if that earns me a gold star.” Now I’m no longer hurting my eyes Would that do? “No, Tess.” Zara didn’

Chapter: Chapter 14~Aria~If I’m being honest, the next day just… happened.Like, it started, and then it ended, and somewhere between breakfast and nightfall, I’m pretty sure I blinked for five minutes and suddenly the sun had relocated itself.I woke up to the smell of toast and eggs Lena’s I care but I don’t want you to know I care kind of breakfast. Lila was already at the table, her hair a wild mess, singing something off key while trying to butter toast that didn’t deserve it.“Morning, sleeping beauty,” she said with a mouthful.“Morning, chaos incarnate,” I replied, pouring juice.Lena shot us both a look over her mug. “If you two are done reenacting a sitcom, grab your food before I lose patience.”“Yes, mother,” Lila and I chorused.Theo didn’t show up that morning thank the Moon Goddess because I had no idea what I’d say if he did. ‘Hey, thanks for licking my ear last night, really appreciate the gesture’? Yeah, no thanks.The day went by peacefully enough. Lila and I helped clean up the por

Chapter: Chapter 13~ Aria~I didn’t realize how much I’d missed this running.Not as a human, but as something wild and free.When Violet stirred beneath my skin, I didn’t fight it. The world blurred into silver and green as paws hit the forest floor, and the air filled with the sound of howls and laughter echoing through the trees. Everyone’s energy was different tonight carefree, playful, like the pack was finally breathing again after holding itself together for too long.Theo’s wolf ran beside me most of the time.Massive. Dark furred. The kind that made the ground feel small under his stride. There was something steady about the way he moved strong but quiet, like he carried the night in his bones.At one point, we slowed near the edge of the woods, our breaths coming out in clouds. I turned to look at him, expecting nothing more than a teasing grin. But then, he leaned in and licked the back of my ear.It happened so fast I almost froze mid breath.Wolves around us went still for a heartbeat.I di

Chapter: Chapter 12~Theo~ The message ticked to “delivered,” and the faint glow from the phone lit up his face in the dim room. I lay flat on my bed, one arm folded under my head, the other holding the phone above me . The words Sweet dreams, Aria stared back at me, almost glowing against the darkness. I chuckled softly to myself . I wasn’t supposed to text her tonight. Not really. I had just wanted to make sure the phone worked a simple check, that was all. But the moment she replied, something easy settled in me Her words had felt… light. Genuine. The kind of honesty that didn’t need effort. I tossed the phone gently onto the pillow beside me and stared at the ceiling. “You’re getting ahead of yourself, man,” I muttered. I could still see her face in my head, the way she’d smiled when she laughed, the way she’d tried to hide it behind her hair, and the way she’d said friends like she was convincing herself it was enough. Friends. I exhaled through my nose and sat up, resting my elbows

Chapter: Chapter 11As we stepped out of the store, a familiar voice called, “Hey!” We turned and there was Theo. He was Leaning against his car, hands in pockets, looking like someone who didn’t know how good he looked. Lila grinned. “Perfect timing! We were just talking about you.” Theo shot her a look, and she winked before turning to me. “He was the one that asked for your number, remember? But since you didn’t have a phone…” She trailed off when she saw the small gift bag in his hand. “Oh no. What’s this?” He scratched the back of his neck. “Uh. You should open it.” I frowned, taking the bag carefully. I unwrapped the paper and blinked, inside was a slim phone, the latest model but simple, elegant, not flashy. “Theo, I” He raised his hand before I could finish. “You can. It’s just a gift. No strings.” Then, a small grin crept onto his lips. “And maybe a number.” “A number?” “I, uh, already put my number in it.” He winked. Lila, who had been hovering nearby, gasped in the

Chapter: Chapter 10~Aria~The bonfire had burned down to amber ash by the time we got back to the house. Everyone smelled like smoke and laughter, the kind that clung to your hair and refused to leave. The drive back from the bonfire was quiet, except for the hum of the engine and the faint rustle of wind against the car windows. Lena had come to pick us up, her headlights cutting through the night as laughter still lingered in my head. She’d dropped Lila off first at their parents’ house, and when she offered to come inside for a minute, I quickly shook my head. “I’ll just wait in the car,” I said. “I’m too tired to socialize again.” Lena had smiled, that soft, knowing kind of smile she always had. “That’s fine, sweetheart. No one’s rushing you.” By the time she drove me back to her and Finn’s house, the night had fully settled in that deep kind of quiet that made every sound sharper. The front door creaked softly as we stepped in. “Babe, where are you?” Lena called out, setting her keys on the

Chapter: Chapter 9~Kaelen I was not supposed to exist. At least, that’s what my parents believed for the longest time. They tried for years long, aching years of empty cradles and silent prayers to the Moon Goddess. Just when they thought the bond had blessed them with everything except children, my mother conceived. Against all odds, she carried me to term. They called me their miracle. And they treated me like one. Not spoiled,never spoiled but loved in a way that was fierce, unshakable, constant. I grew up wrapped in love so steady it felt like the sun. My parents weren’t just Alpha and Luna,they were mates in the truest sense, soul bound, inseparable. They laughed more than they argued, and when they did clash, they always found each other again. I remember watching them in the kitchen, my father humming while he cooked, my mother laughing with her head tipped back as though nothing in the world could touch her. I remember their hands always finding each other, like magnets that couldn’t stay a
