LILA'S POV

Hot tears streak down my face as I run out of his office. This is the worst humiliation of my life. Worse than anything I've ever endured. And the worst part? I'm disgusted-with myself, my body, everything. I could have resisted. I could have fought. But instead, I was moaning like a slut. A fucking slut.

"Are you alright, Lila?" Anna's ever-cheerful voice booms beside me, yanking me out of my thoughts.

I sniff hard, swallowing the lump in my throat as I turn to her. Of course, she caught me. Anna misses nothing.

"I'm fine, just... yunno... passing through some phase," I mutter, at least giving her half the truth.

Anna squints, her gaze sharp and assessing. "Mmm-hmm. Right. And I'm Mother Teresa." She folds her arms. "Come on, spill. You look like someone just chewed you up and spat you out."

If there's anything about Anna she never takes no for an answer.

I force a laugh, but it sounds hollow. "It's nothing, Anna. Really."

She narrows her eyes. "Lila, babe, you suck at lyi

    AVAIt's like I've been hit with a sucker punch. A big one. Right to the chest.What in the absolute name of the moon goddess is this?Turns out the guy I've been head-over-heels for... the same guy who drugged me, bit me, kidnapped a child, Derrick, and he isn't just a walking red flag with fangs...He's Lila's freaking brother. My best friend's brother. "You're joking," I say, though my voice sounds nothing like mine. "Tell me this is one of those sick prank shows. Someone's gonna jump out with a camera and tell me to laugh."Lila just shakes her head, eyes glistening.Nicklaus is dead silent. His jaw's tight, like even he didn't see this one coming. "So... let me get this straight," I continue, pacing now. "I got drugged... bit... soul-bonded to a man who faked being human... and oh, plot twist-he's my best friend's long-lost brother?"I laugh. Not the cute kind. "I'm living in a goddamn supernatural soap opera."Lila tries to say something, but I raise a hand."No, no, let me b

    AVAI feel someone's fingers brushing softly across my face... slow, gentle strokes. The kind that could lull anyone right back to sleep.I turn, then turn again, still floating somewhere between dream and reality. And then, my eyes flutter open.They're sleepy, blurry... but enough to catch the outline of a familiar statue hovering over me.Nicklaus. "Phoenix, you're awake?"His voice sounds more like a question than a statement.I blink once. Twice. The room comes into focus.And then, boom. It hits me. Everything. The pain. The chaos. The bite. The truth.My hand flies to my chest trying to feel if what I felt earlier was real, if something was really growing in there. Nothing. No mark. No wound.Just regular skin. Like none of that ever happened.Like I'm still the same old Ava, before everything turned into a supernatural episode of WTF is my life."Are you alright, Phoenix?"He's holding my hand now, eyes locked on mine.I pause. I study him.His eyes have dark circles like he's

    RAFAELDon't blame me for getting so upset. For losing my cool. For making sure Derrick stays away from Lila.She'll see him again, sure. Eventually.But not right now. Not when I'm still raging. Not when I'm still trying to swallow the taste of betrayal stuck at the back of my throat.He's been shaking since we get back.Hours have passed, and he hasn't stopped.And truth is... I don't know how to calm him.Hell, I don't even know how to talk to him.How do I explain to a seven-year-old boy that I'm his father? The father he never knows he has.The one he is told doesn't exist. Or worse, is the monster in the closet.You know what's worse? He sees me that way.As the villain. As the bad man. As the psychopath who hurts the people he loves."You're that guy," he cries, eyes wide and full of terror."That bad man that wants to kill Aunt Lila. I want my mom! Take me to my mom and Aunt Lila!"Each tear is a blade. Each sob feels like a hammer slamming straight into my ribs.And when he s

    LILAThe moment Derrick and Ava were brought back safely, my breath returned in pieces, like someone slowly unwrapped the vice squeezing my chest. Relief washed through me in waves, and the tension I didn't even realize I was carrying finally loosened.But Rafael didn't say a word to me. Not one.He wouldn't even look at me, let alone let me near Derrick.When I reached out, he simply shifted away. Silent. Cold. His entire body screamed don't touch me.I understood. And still, it shattered me.In that moment, I wanted to be selfish. I wanted to scream.He shouldn't have denied Derrick the chance to reach for me. To see me.I'd protected that boy with my entire soul.But instead of pushing my pain forward, I did the only thing I could. I stayed close to Ava. I helped Nicklaus comfort her, doing what I could. Watching her writhe, scream, burn with a pain that didn't seem human.Her shift was coming. Her wolf had been triggered. And I couldn't believe I had never seen it.All this time.

    AVAMy body hurts. Like I've just run a damn marathon.Every part of me feels heavy, like something is growing inside me.Something I can't name. Something I don't want to name.I'm fully aware that I'm awake.But I don't want to open my eyes.Not yet.My memories are still intact... And the last thing I want is to wake up and see that psychopath's face.And the fangs... God, the fangs.I know I saw them. That wasn't a dream. That wasn't some drugged-up hallucination.He bit me. Jared... or Theo, whatever the hell his name is- He's not human.He's a werewolf. And now... I don't even know what that makes me."She's stirring. Do you see that?"An all-too-familiar masculine voice.No. Please tell me I'm dreaming. Tell me I'm hallucinating."Yes... she's twitching." A woman. Soft. Gentle.That voice, Lila. My eyes flutter open.The light stings, but I blink through it...And the first thing I see is him, Nicklaus. He's staring at me like I'm his next breath.Like I'm some kind of drug he

    RAFAELThe Moon Goddess knows there's no way to explain how I feel right now. It's rage... pure rage, mixed with confusion and disbelief. It's frustrating. The kind of betrayal you don't expect from someone you love, someone you were willing to stand by no matter what. Someone you trusted.She stabbed me right in the chest, like it meant nothing. No hesitation.Hiding a seven-year-old boy from me?My son?I still can't believe it. I didn't grow up with a loving father. He wasn't there.But I swore to myself, when I had a child, I'd do better. I'd be better. I'd show up. I'd give my kid the life I never had.But instead, I missed everything. His first cry. His first steps. His first words.I missed every damn milestone. His growth. His struggles. His victories. His report cards.All gone. Stolen from me.And now I'm here wondering what he must think of me.Some deadbeat? A stranger? A psychopath?This is so messed up. Over and over again, I keep thinking, what if he doesn't even know I
