LOGINNYRAAll the energy I had when I followed Lena here started dying the moment we got close to the ward.Just like that.It was gone.It was like walking into a place where something was already waiting for you… something you couldn’t see yet, but you could feel it crawling under your skin.And Selene, standing at the door, didn’t make it better. Not at all.I folded my arms, staring at her as she blocked the entrance like she owned the whole hospital.What was wrong with her?Why did she hate us this much?If it was jealousy, then why not just find her own people? Or work harder? Or do anything useful with her life instead of making ours miserable?I sighed softly, shifting my weight.“Look at the time,” Selene said, her voice dripping with mockery. “You’re just coming in now. Dr. Jackson has been here for a while, and you’re strolling in, laughing as if nothing matters.”I opened my mouth to reply but Lena beat me to it. “We’re not late, Selene,” she said calmly. “So step aside and st
YELENAIt had been two weeks.Two weeks of waking up alone.Two weeks of going to work, coming back, and sitting in a house that felt too quiet for someone like me.Nyra came around sometimes.But it was not like before. It was not like those nights when we would both fall asleep in the same room, talking about nothing until our eyes gave up on us.Now, she came… and left. Always left.I didn’t complain. I couldn't because I knew where she was going to and even if she didn’t say it, I could see it.The way she smiled more now. The way her eyes shone when she talked about work, even when work was stressful. The way she hummed sometimes without knowing.She was happy.And for a moment… I was happy for her too.She deserved it.She deserved someone who would choose her. Someone who would stay. Someone who would fight for her.And Jackson was trying, that alone meant something.‘And you?’ Lena’s voice slipped into my head again, uninvited as always.I didn’t look up from the files in fron
YELENAI ended up sleeping at the pack house again.By the time everything had settled, the night had already swallowed the sky whole. No one would let me leave, not even when I insisted. They kept saying I needed rest, that I had done enough, that I looked like I would fall over if I took one more step.Maybe they were right.Still, I had to send Nyra a message. She was waiting for me at my parents’ house, probably pacing like a restless wolf. I told her I would leave in the morning. I told her I stayed because I needed to make sure Marie was truly fine.That was the truth… or at least part of it.Morning came too quickly.The pack house felt different at dawn. Quiet, but not empty. You could feel life in the walls, in the soft footsteps, in the low voices carried through the halls. Wolves were waking up. Guards were changing shifts. Someone laughing faintly in the distance and her.... Marie was already awake.“Morning,” she muttered when she saw me. Her voice was soft, a little uns
YELENA“She dared not.”Tristan’s voice came out low, and cold, ignoring her fake wound.And before I could even react, his grip on my arm tightened and he pulled me back, moving me behind him in one swift motion. My back almost hit his chest as he stepped forward, placing himself fully between Livia and me.“I was pulling you back,” he continued, his voice steady, and dangerous, “so I could deal with her.”Something in me stilled.Then slowly… a smile crept up my lips. I crossed my arms over my chest, watching.Livia’s face changed instantly. The confidence she had a moment ago cracked. Her lips parted, her eyes flickered between us, and for the first time since she started talking, she looked unsure.Good.Very good.‘Now, your mate is my man forever,’ I mind-linked her, even though the words sounded ridiculous even in my own head.Still… I said it.Her eyes snapped to mine. She frowned. Tristan didn’t even glance back at me.“How many times do I have to tell you,” he said, his voic
YELENAI quickly used the few things I could find at home to cool her down since I didn’t have my equipment with me.A bowl of cold water. Clean cloth. Some herbs I knew would help. It wasn’t much, but it had to be enough. Her body was burning. Not the normal kind of fever.This was deeper… the kind that made the skin feel like fire under my fingers.I dipped the cloth into the water and squeezed it, watching the drops fall back into the bowl before placing it on her forehead. Her skin sizzled against the cold. Her breath came out uneven, fast, and shaky.“Easy…” I muttered under my breath, more to myself than to her.I moved quickly, wiping her neck and arms, pressing the cold cloth against her pulse points. My fingers brushed against her wrist and I felt it... her heartbeat racing like it wanted to escape her body.I clenched my jaw. Her wolf was restless, fighting.Heat like this didn’t just come from sickness. It came when a wolf was pushed too far, when the body couldn’t handle t
YELENATyler let out a weak laugh, the kind that didn’t even sound like him anymore. His shoulders shook as he dragged a hand through his hair, shaking his head slowly.“I know…” he whispered, his voice was rough, like every word was cutting him from the inside. “I’m not worthy of her…”His eyes dropped to my stomach, and something inside me twisted.“I don’t deserve..."He didn’t finish because suddenly… I felt it.A shift. It was soft, light but real.I froze.My breath caught in my throat as my hand flew to my stomach... She moved.It wasn't a random flutter. Not the small restless shift I had been feeling these past days. This was different. She really moved.I lifted my head slowly, my eyes meeting Tyler’s. He had felt it too. I could see it in the way his face went blank for a second… then cracked open.“She…” My voice came out barely above a whisper. “She moved…”For a moment, everything in the room stopped.The guards. The commissioner. Even the air.Tyler took a small step ba
YELENAThe waitress came with the menu, and I flicked my eyes over it, I was not really supposed to order yet. Tyler said we’d have lunch together, but he was twenty minutes late, and my stomach wasn’t waiting on anyone. I could always share a laugh with his food later.I glanced at my phone, hopin
ANONYMOUSI needed the blood. The life force that would finish what I had started. The full moon was coming fast, and once it arrived, the curse would start to haunt me again if I didn’t act. I had watched, waited, and made sure the hospital was quiet. Some nurses had gone home. Others were busy e
NYRAI pushed the door and slipped quietly into Ria’s ward. The sun wasn’t even fully up yet, but I didn’t care. I had been thinking about her all night. I came yesterday at midnight and saw her breathing so well. I even smiled to myself when I left because she looked stronger. I told myself she w
YELENAI scoffed before I could even speak, my fork still hovering over my plate. The waiter she’d been talking to came back with her order, sliding it onto the table with an exaggerated bow. “Here is your food, ma’am,” he said politely.Livia’s lips curved into that practiced, sweet smile, soft an
