The cold air blew past the curtains. "Arghhhhh." I groaned, rubbing my hands against my eyes. I must have left the window open last night.I sat upright on my bed and turned to my side and there he was. My sweet Eli. I almost teared up looking at him. He was still sleeping, and he was sleeping peacefully. He didn't know what was coming.I glanced at the clock. 5am."Oh shit." I had woken up earlier than I planned to. I let out a deep sigh.And suddenly the thoughts started clouding my head. My hands started fidgeting."Are you really going to do this?" A voice said. “You know you can't leave your dad. He needs you." Another voice said."SHHUTT IITT," I said out loud. Loud enough to wake the neighbourhood. I got myself up and turned to see if Eli had woken up.He hadn't.I got up, slipped into my running shoes, and left the house.I couldn't stop thinking about my dad, or my fate once I got home. I couldn't stop overthinking what exactly would happen when I arrived. I was about to lea

The cold breeze blew past me as I made my way out of the café where I worked."Mum! Mum!"I heard him before I saw him. I looked across the road and there he was. Eli, standing beside his daycare teacher, waving like I'd been gone for years instead of hours.My eyes lit up. I waited for the cars to pass, then crossed over and scooped him up."My sweet boy." I said, brushing my nose against his."Mummyyy!" He giggled, wrapping his arms around my neck.I thanked his teacher and took his bag from her. I set him down and held his hand as we walked home."I love his eyes," a woman said as she passed us on the pavement, smiling down at Eli."Thank you." I said.The smile left my face the moment she was gone.Eli had silver eyes, his father's eyes and that was what got me every single time. Every stranger who noticed them, every compliment, every innocent remark. It always brought me back to a place I had spent three years trying to leave behind.The breeze picked up and I felt him shiver b

There was nothing left for me here. There had been nothing left the moment Caelum opened his mouth on that dais.I fought to hold back the tears but I couldn't.I stood up from my bed and pulled out one bag. I wiped a tear and told myself, "It's for the better.” Just to console myself.I saw Caelum's jewellery sitting on the dresser.Then I was back there again. To the night he gave it to me."I want you to have something of mine," he said."Why?" I asked, blushing."I can't mark you yet and I just want you to know that I will never leave." He said it while brushing my jaw. "You'll always be by my side."I smiled sheepishly and looked into his eyes. "You're so thoughtful and sweet.""You bring out the best side in me," he said, as he clasped the silver necklace around my neck.We kissed.I snapped back.I wiped my tears, grabbed the necklace from the dresser, and threw it out the window."You're a piece of shit, Caelum." I said, with so much disgust I barely recognized my own voice.I

"You're so beautiful," Caelum said to me.I squealed. "Thank you, my Alpha."I walked up to our baby and touched his head softly."You know, he really looks like you.” Caelum said, smirking."He looks more like….""SERA. Sera. S...e...r...a."I blinked.Nell was standing in front of me, waving her hand in my face.I put my hands on my stomach. I had been daydreaming. None of it was real. I was already envisioning a future. Him, me, and the baby he would never know about."You look dull." Nell said, setting a cup of coffee down in front of me.Nell had been looking after me since the rejection. I hadn't wanted to talk to anyone, and my father and Aiden understood. They gave me my space, only coming by sometimes to check on me, staying long enough to make sure I was still breathing before quietly letting themselves out again.I pressed both hands flat against my stomach. "Yeah. I'm heartbroken. I haven't bathed in two days or eaten properly in weeks.""That's not it." she said.She move

I sat tapping my fingers on the table, humming softly to myself. I suddenly heard the creak of the door. I stopped humming and turned to look.It was Nell, my hairdresser. “Miss Seraphina, the moon is at its peak. Everyone is waiting.” She said softly. A smile bloomed across my lips. I tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear and dusted powder on my face. I took one last look at myself in the mirror and smiled.I got up and followed her to the amphitheatre where both the Ashwood and Ironveil packs were already waiting. I saw my father and Aiden, my brother, who gave me a warm smile from across the aisle. Then I saw Caelum on the dais and my eyes lit up. But he looked odd. His hands were steady, his face devoid of emotion and his head tilted down without a single glance at me. He's just nervous, I told myself. Or maybe ceremony traditions. The Alpha doesn't meet his mate's eyes until the ritual calls for it.I started up the eleven stone steps. My legs felt strange beneath me, l
