Erianna.

Night.

I’m seated at the VIP bar of Club Reckless. The air is heavy with smoke and alcohol, lights flashing in wild colors, giving everything a dangerous glow.

I swirl my dry martini, sipping slowly. My mind’s still tangled in knots over Gerald’s decision. How can my brother be this careless? He’s just handed Ephraim and every other bastard like him the perfect weapon.

I should’ve gone home after work. But I couldn’t stomach another moment in that mansion. Not with her there. That damn caregiver. I can’t hurt her, not without challenging him. And I won’t. Not even I am stupid enough to cross that line.

“How long are you going to sulk over Gerald’s decision, Erianna?”

I glance over just in time to see Linda sliding into the seat beside me. Her eyes are fixed on the human bartender like he’s her next meal.

“I’ll have what she’s having,” she purrs, and flashes him a flirtatious smile.

“That took you long enough,” I mutter, unimpressed. “You texted me over thirty minutes

    Oleen.Wednesday, 16th July. Four days later…Morning.For two weeks, I haven’t stepped out of my home. I refuse real food, just scraps when my body threatens collapse. Water burns down my throat when I drink it, because I barely touch it. My body weakens, but it isn’t hunger that starves me. It’s grief.The grief of loss. The grief of ruin.My powers as an oracle, gone. My gifts as a healer, snatched. All because I let my darkest desires fester.I remember that night like it was carved into my skin. Eliora’s voice, her words like blades. Harsh. Brutal. Final. She stripped me of my powers, left me shattered in the cemetery. And the mirror, my one companion, silent. Dead. No whisper, no voice. It abandoned me. After everything it made me do, it left me as well.I curl beneath my blanket, sobbing. Outside, fists hammer against my door.“Miss Oleen, please…it’s my husband..”“Miss Oleen, come quick…”Their voices have haunted me for days. Desperate. Begging. I ignore them. I rot in here,

    Iris. Night… The room is shrouded in darkness when I step in. I exhale heavily and shut the door, flicking the lights on. My thoughts won’t stay still, they keep circling back to the remarkable moments I shared with Mum today. The conversation we had about Gerald and me. Just the thought of confessing to him gives me goose bumps. I strip off my slacks and step toward the closet and then freeze. Gerald, seated on the window cushion, eyes on me. “Gerald.” I breathe, fast, hard. His gaze darkens as he rises, slow, deliberate. Desire and danger all at once. My throat dries at the way he looks at me. His gaze never waving. “When did you get back?” My voice cracks. “I got back hours ago.” His tone is low, controlled, but the rage in his eyes is unmistakable. Not at me, at something else. “Your phone was here, blaring all day. And the guards said you walked past them and down the road.” A shudder ripples through me as I realize the reason for his rage. The thought of losing me. My h

    Agnes Herewit. Minutes later… I stare at this woman, reeling from the story she just spilled. My daughter. My Iris. Her words still echo in my skull like a curse. She spoke of ancient magic, the kind whispered about in hushed voices when I was young. She claimed Gerald used it on her. Gerald? By Eliora, what kind of madness is this? Pain sears my chest, anger prickling sharp and hot. “Look.” I snap, my tone cutting sharper than I intend. “I know you’ve helped me with the pack, but that doesn’t give you the right to break into my home…” “I didn’t break in, Mum. I found the keys where you always left them.” Her interruption twists the knife inside me. My gaze sharpens. My voice drops low, steel. “Luna, anyone could’ve found those keys if they’d been watching me.” I push to my feet, ready to throw her out, but her next words freeze me mid step. “Didn’t you ever wonder why I called you ‘Mum’ that day? The day I passed out here?” I whirl to face her. The truth of it claws at me.

    Iris. Saturday, 12th July, four days later… Morning. I’ve had nightmares for days on end. Dreams where I fall, endlessly, and no one catches me. Until suddenly, I’m submerged in blood. Drowning in it. And then Gerald pulls me out, only for him to shift into his wolf and lick every drop of blood off my skin. When he morphs back, his eyes lock on mine, and he asks me to stand by his side against the entire world. This morning, the same fevered vision yanks me from sleep. My reflection in the mirror stares back at me with wide, haunted eyes. If I don’t leave this house right now, I’ll lose my mind. I shower, throw on a simple pink day dress that hides the scar Erianna gave me years ago, twist my hair into a messy bun, and head downstairs. At the bottom of the staircase, I run straight into her. Erianna. My feet freeze of their own accord, heart pounding. Not from fear, but from memory. Instinct. She blocks my path, her face smug, and suddenly I see her as she was that day, rippin

    Gerald. Night… It’s 10:58 p.m. when I finally have a moment to myself. The words from tonight’s meeting still echo in my head. ‘We cannot end an age old tradition because of an aggrieved widow. Simon’s widow is only sad that her mate was taken from her. Would she have petitioned if Gerald had fallen instead? I don’t think so.’ That argument sparked a storm. Elders murmured and clashed, voices rising, while we Alphas sat silent in our booth. Watching. Carrying the mantle of leadership, once a symbol of strength, now a burden that weighed like iron chains. None of us had the courage to say what we feared most. A widow had done what we could not. Even now, my chest tightens at the image of Simon’s mate weeping before the world. Her grief mirrored in so many others, women and men robbed of warmth, of the one soul they lived for. Seeing her only deepened what I already knew; every moment with my mate is priceless. I can’t waste them. Once in bed, I reach for my phone. My heart settle

    Iris. Tuesday, 8th July, three days later… Evening. I’m out on the terrace, staring helplessly into the garden. Rain falls in quiet sheets, soaking everything, cold and heavy. But it isn’t the wet or the chill that dampens my mood. It’s the dangerous truth I’m hiding, one I can’t bring myself to share. It presses down on me until my chest feels hollow, my heart drowning in guilt. For three days now, I’ve fought the urge to run to my mother, my real mother, Agnes Herewit and collapse in her lap. More than once I’ve sat in the car, hands trembling on the wheel, ready to drive to her. But every time I start the engine, I remember. To her, I am the kind Luna who redeemed her from shame. Not the guilty daughter who once dragged her name through the mud. And Gerald, gods, Gerald. The very qualities I once condemned, I now crave. Methodical. Careful. Compassionate. A true leader. Responsible. Sexy as hell. It’s always been him. Yet I tossed him aside for Patrick. Patrick, the charming f
