I woke up to a steaming bath, my nails being polished and my hair scrubbed, what the?

“You were out cold from a fever” a sweet voice said. It felt like death, sis. I turned to see who owned it.

Aaron. But it wasn't Aaron, he wasn't a mesmerising woman with long flowy hair, wondrous skin and an amazing dress. This must be his sister.

“How did you? Wait, why are they? Could they leave?”

“Of course they can” she responded and with a clap of her hands they were dismissed.

    Whenever I blinked I was at the garden again, the fountain glimmered under the evening sky. The water caught the last scraps of sunlight, painted them gold and rose and bruised purple, and I couldn’t stop staring. Henry was there, just leaning against the stone like it was an ordinary night and not some miracle Sarah's parent wanted her back.I took a step forward. Then another. Then I stopped because I realized I didn’t want to mess this up. Don’t mess this up, Avery, I whispered to myself. Don’t scare him off, I just wanted to know why he left the dining room.Henry’s words from earlier replayed in my head. I remembered the way his green eyes softened, the way he’d smiled even when he sounded terrified. And then… he said it. “I love you.”I hadn’t known my chest could feel this full. This loud. It was warm and scary all at once.I let myself laugh and cry at the same time. I hugged him back. Tight. Longer than I thought I could.“You idiot,” I said into his chest. “I thought you di

    If the happiness I felt had a texture, it would have felt like this. Fragile. Like touching glass that had not yet decided to cut you. The estate looked the same. White stone, tall hedges trimmed to perfection, guards standing straighter than their spines probably allowed. Everything screamed order, discipline, reputation. Everything that once made me feel small. But today, it did not. My mother met us at the entrance herself. No assistants. No sharp-eyed matrons trailing behind her like vultures waiting to snag my remains after she was done with me. She rushed forward the moment she saw me, her feet were bare and her hair slightly out of place. Mother who would not step out of her room with having attended to herself, She pulled me into a hug before I could think. It startled me. Her arms were tight, trembling. Her cheek pressed into my hair like she was afraid I would disappear if she let go. I stood stiff at first, years of instinct screaming at me to brace, to endure.

    “What is it mother?” I asked, my heart in stomach. What could have happened to him? Oh Selene, please.“He... he, um. Your father was found passed out muttering your name asking for forgiveness” she said amidst sobs,It didn't make sense, out of nowhere? Father suddenly asking for forgiveness, Lmao. He must have really believed what Beatrice had said, so he had mother help him put together this cock and bull story.It's simply sad how far they'd go to get accepted in the society, but never a step in the direction that could make them close to their child.When my mother didn't hear a response from me, she called my attention.“Sarah, I know we haven't been the best parents...” Best? You both weren't even bad, you were the worst.Why was I so upset when this was what I've always wanted?Maybe because it seemed like a farce. It was all an act for a Beta who saw me as a day one from his litter pack. I imagined their reaction when they found out and chuckled.It must have startled my mo

    If you asked me, I'd say it was the adrenaline. It makes one do the most stupid things, Aaron was no hugger I didn't need anyone to tell me that, it was a complete no-brainer. So, why did it happen then? I had no explanation. Last night he led me back, hand on my shoulder telling me why I hadn't seen Avery very much recently. He had warned her never to meet me since she stole some diamonds when I met her the first time. He explained that his mother wasn't exactly the most tolerant person. She wouldn't tolerate me in the main house, his, Avery's or Henry's and that had nothing with me being Blood Moon. It was just how she was, if she found out I was a wolfless werewolf who cried diamonds? She'd lock me up, thinking I was a goon of the witch who cursed them. I still didn't get why he was telling me these things, to make me feel welcome? Or to avoid me overthinking some situations? My minded drifted to conversation we had, when we got to his manor. “Sarah,” he called me touching t

    It lunged at Aaron before I even registered the shape of it.He moved to the side automatically, must be an Alpha sense. It threw itself at him again and he caught it mid-leap, slammed it into the dirt, and snapped its neck with his foot.Oof! I didn't think they'd have bones.The ripple opened again and more of the shadow things spilled through like they had been waiting for us. They were so familiar.I felt my pocket for the dagger I always hand on standby. I knew it would do nothing against them, but at least I had a weapon.I watched Aaron fought like he had done this with them before. Quick. Efficient. Like a leader. He moved through the shadows, claws out, tearing through the first wave of them before I could even blink. For a second, I thought we had it.The next second, I was proved wrong.More came, crawling through the ripple like ink from startled octopiMy heart punched at my ribs. These were the things from my dream! The same twisted shapes. The same screeching sound tha

    Sarah’s POVI barely had a chance to process the warning when Sol’s grip tightened on my wrist. My pulse was loud in my ears, hammering faster with each step.“Who… what is The Infinity?” I demanded, trying to yank my hand free, but Sol’s hold was firm.They made running look so easy, Sol’s green eyes bored into mine, “Keep your eyes on the road”“You keep your eyes on the road” I murmured, like he wasn't looking at me too.Jae muttered something under her breath, about us no doubt. I caught the faintest smirk before it disappeared.She spoke some words I didn't understand, a door appeared before us, we jumped in and it vanished behind us.I rested on a wall and tried to catch my breath.“The Infinity is… everything you don’t know you’re a part of,” he said slowly, like he was choosing words carefully. How wasn't he panting? “It’s the council that regulates all supernatural activity. Not just werewolves. Not just warlocks. Everyone. Blood, magic, contracts, portals, laws… they see i
