Riven

The noise in the locker room was slowly dying down. The boys were leaving one by one, their voices echoing in the hall as they walked out of the room. I was sitting on my bench, with my head in my hands. My mind was a mess, and it was all thanks to one person. Sky. That guy had almost made me embarrass myself beyond repair in the presence of the whole Silverfangs hockey team.

I looked up and he was still here.

He was standing in front of his locker arranging his things. It was just the tw

    StilesThe clock on the wall said it was past midnight. I was lying down on the bed, thinking about nothing in particular when the front doors swung open. Riven and Sky walked in, looking serious like there was something going on. Their clothes were a little damp, and their faces were pale."Stiles!" Sky called out, his voice echoing. "Have you seen Grey?"I stopped, paused. My brows creased together as I stood up from the seat. "No. Why? What’s wrong?""We’ve been looking for him for hours," Riven said, wiping rain off his forehead. "He disappeared from the storage room earlier and no one has seen him since. He’s not in his suite either."I felt a sharp spike of panic. "Did you call his home? Maybe call his mother if he has gone home?""We did," Sky said, with a slightly trembling voice. "She said she hasn't seen him either. And it’s pouring outside. The temperature is dropping."Fuck…“Where could he have possibly gone?”“I don't know,” Riven said.I looked toward the windows. The r

    Grey.It was a day to the bachelor party.Riven and Sky decided they needed to work with their own hands to blow off some steam before the bachelor party.Instead of letting the servants do everything, they decided to just work on our space for the mini event.So right now we were moving boxes, sorting decorations, and clearing out old clutter. It was chaotic, but it felt good to move.Riven wiped sweat from his forehead and pointed toward a heavy cardboard carton in the corner. "Grey, do me a favor? Carry that box to the back storage room. It’s mostly old records and papers we need to sort through before the party starts. I don't want it taking up space in the hall.""Sure," I said, lifting the box. It was heavier than it looked.I carried it down the long, dim hallway to the storage room.As I got there, Sky was already there arranging the things that were being brought from the other place.I set the box down on a wooden table, about to leave so I could go back to helping Riven.Ju

    Grey.The dining room was quiet, except for the sound of my fork hitting the ceramic plate.I was at our own house, away from the bustling space of the alpha's estate.Here, unlike that place, it was exactly the kind of calm I liked.My mother sat across from me, watching me with eyes that were too sharp for my liking.She always had a way of looking through me, like I was a glass of water she was inspecting for dirt."Grey," she started, her voice smooth. "Did you see your friend since you came back?"I didn't look up from my pasta. "Which friend, Mom? I have several.""The one who is getting married, of course," she said, leaning back.“Sky? What about him?” I asked.Then—“No, I don't mean Sky. I'm talking about Stiles."I felt a small sting in my chest at the mention of his name, but I kept my face blank, raising my head to meet my mother's gaze.I laughed softly. "What are you saying, Mom? He's not married and definitely isn't the one getting married."“But he has a mate. I heard

    Grey.The sun had barely peeked through the curtains when my phone started buzzing on the nightstand. I groaned, reaching for it with a heavy arm."Grey,” the voice on the other end called.Damn, it was Sky. I had barely slept.“You still sleeping, man? Wake up! We have the second fitting for the suits. If we’re late, my husband will be grumpy all day," Sky’s voice boomed through the speaker."I’m up, I’m up," I mumbled, even though I was still lying down.The morning disappeared in a blur of measuring tapes, expensive fabrics, and Riven complaining about how tight his collar felt, and how this and that didn't feel right.We spent hours standing still while the tailor pinned and tucked the wedding outfits. By the time we got back to the palace, the afternoon sun was starting to dip.We stood in the main hall, exhausted.Riven looked around, frowning. "Where’s Stiles? He was supposed to meet us here for the final check on the groomsmen's gear."Sky checked his watch and then his phone.

    GreyThe balcony was the only place where the air didn't feel like it was vibrating with stress. Below us, the palace grounds were a mess of white silk, moving trucks, and people screaming about where the flower arches should go. It looked like a war zone, just with more roses.Sky leaned his elbows on the stone railing and let out a long, dramatic groan. He looked like he wanted to jump—not to end it all, just to get away from the wedding planners."I am officially done, Grey," Sky muttered, rubbing his eyes until they were red. "If one more person asks me if the napkins should be 'eggshell white' or 'ivory,' I’m going to lose my mind. I’ll cancel the whole thing. Riven and I will just go get married in a basement somewhere."I leaned back, feeling the cool stone against my spine. I let out a dry laugh. "Believe me, I totally understand. This shit is stressful as hell.""Imagine how there are more than three hundred people planning this thing, and yet every single one of them thinks

    StilesThe drive to my father’s house was a blur. I kept my eyes on the road, but my mind was stuck on the way Grey had looked at me just minutes ago. One step at a time.At least now, he has accepted to talk to me, even though it was as just friends. And even though he hasn't fully responded to the main problem, I was hopeful we may get there.Meanwhile, Hasima sat in the passenger seat, her bandaged arm resting in her lap.When we pulled into the driveway, my father was already on the porch. He looked okay, smiling on sight. I killed the engine and we both stepped out."Pops, you called us. We came as fast as we could," I said as we walked up the steps. I was still out of breath. "I was quite busy down there at the palace. You sounded like the world was ending."My dad nodded, his face now serious as he looked at me and then at Hasima. "I know, Stiles. But this wasn't something I could just say over the phone.""Why not?" I asked, wiping sweat from my forehead. "You had me thinking
