Darius:

I’d been watching her all morning.

Not in a lecherous, obvious way, no. I knew better than to scare off a rabbit you wanted to catch. You watched it from the shadows, moved only when it was too distracted to notice you.

And truth be told, I found myself intrigued.

Only today, Alaria was distracted. She was completely out of it. She was unaware that I've been watching. She was unaware of anything that was surrounding her.

The Alpha was nowhere in sight, the pup was off in school, and she… she was wandering the garden like she was searching for something. Or perhaps trying to escape something. The smile on her face could be seen a mile away, and yet something was on her mind.

Interesting.

She wore a simple dress, white and soft, with her hair tied up messily like she hadn’t bothered to care how she looked. Tempting.

Not in the obvious, seductive way Claire had once tried to flaunt herself. No. Alaria had something else. It was something buried deep under that quiet sadness and t

    Liam:I wasn’t the kind of man who sent people to spy on the woman I loved.At least, I never thought I would be.Hell, Alaria was not a woman that I would spy on. Whether or not she was my lover, even in the past, I never gave myself a reason to do so. She was never the woman to betray.But something in Alaria’s eyes, something distant, something cracked just beneath her smile, left me with no choice. And Kai, as much as he hesitated, didn’t say no. And I wasn't even looking for something to prove against her. I was looking for what was bothering her to protect her from, to keep her safe, not to harm her.He stood in front of me again, his arms crossed, his jaw set in that way that meant he was holding something back.“Well?” I asked, trying to keep my voice level. “Did you see anything? You've been quiet since you came back. I can assume that there is something that you want to tell me.”He nodded once. “Yeah. Someone’s been meeting her. She spoke to him. I couldn't hear a thing tha

    Kai:Liam didn’t usually ask for favors like this.Not when it came to her.But something had shifted.I saw it in his eyes and in the way that he was trying to study her expression, trying to get her to speak in her silence, in his own distance.“Liam, Are you sure that you want to do this?” I asked, wanting to know whether or not going with this was going to be the right thing.“I don't have another option, Kai. She's refusing to speak about it. She is refusing to allow me in. If there's someone that is hurting or threatening her, I need to know.” He said, and I nodded.“I'll keep you updated with what I find.”“Just be sure that she doesn't sense you. The last thing that I want is for her to find out about something like this because she's going to do her best to hide it.” Was the last thing that he said as I walked out of the house following her, knowing that she was going to drop Anastasia to school.I nodded without asking questions. The edge on his voice could be heard a mile a

    Alaria:I closed the door behind me and leaned against it, exhaling a breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding in all day.The weight of everything that I've been carrying finally settling on my chest as I did my best to try and stay calm.The air in my room felt too still, too heavy. And no matter how hard I tried to talk normal, I knew that I couldn't.Everything about today had felt like a slow unraveling. Like threads of my calm being tugged loose one by one, Darius’s words lingering in the back of my mind like poison I couldn’t wash out. His voice, his implications, the reminder of who I used to be… it all haunted me now.It still forced me to focus on the words that he tried to use, the fact that he was looking into who I am, who I was, what I was becoming, and how I was in the past.And the worst part was, part of me felt it too.Felt that buried fire under the skin. The ache to lash out. To be that version of myself again, the one who never flinched, never folded, never let a

    Liam:There was a shift.And no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find the right answer to what had happened or what was bothering her.It wasn’t in her touch or her voice. No. She still kissed me good morning, still smiled when Anastasia ran into our arms, still answered my questions with that soft tone she always used when we were alone.But something behind her eyes was... off.Like she was either trying to hide something or something was bothering her.We were sitting in the common area that morning, Alaria beside me on the couch, Anastasia curled up on the rug with a coloring book and her bear. The sun spilled through the windows, casting everything in that golden warmth people often called perfect.But Alaria’s smile didn’t reach her eyes.I watched her fingers mindlessly twist the hem of her sleeve, a habit I’d seen before when something was bothering her, something she didn’t want to talk about. It amazed me that though it has been a long time, I still remember such details

    Claire:She was everywhere.No matter where I looked, no matter how hard I tried to ignore her presence, she was still there.In the halls. In the house. In his eyes.Alaria.Like a shadow I couldn’t erase. A shadow, a memory, a nightmare that wouldn't leave me alone.And when he chose her over me, when he told me to leave so he can be with her, he had crossed the line that he shouldn't have.It was insulting.He had scarred my dignity, my pride, and whatever was left of who I was.I’d waited, given him space, thinking he'd come crawling back. But no. He had fallen deeper into her lap, tangled in the illusion of who Alaria pretended to be. Tangled into the game that she had managed to play on him.And that… was a mistake.The penthouse suite Darius had rented smelled of expensive cologne, bourbon, and trouble. I stood by the window, swirling a glass of wine in my hand, watching the city below glitter like the lie of perfection.“You’re late,” he said without looking up from the couch
