Blazes PovMy heart was a hammer against my ribs. My brothers stood around me. I could feel how tense we all felt."Can you please come sit, Thalia?"“Alright,” she said, throwing her hands in the air to surrender.But then,She didn't go to the couch.She took a slow, but fluid step towards me. One after another. Her hips swayed with a silent, graceful power. The loose robe moved with her. My wolf howled inside my head, a mixture of fear and something hot and desperate.She got to me, looked at me for a while and then, sat down.Not on the couch. I mean.On my lap.A gasp went through the room from Milo. “What the fuck,” I heard him mutter under his breath.My own breath caught in my throat. My body went rigid. What the fuck is wrong with Thalia?I felt the heat of her skin and the surprising weight of her on me.She smelled of wild spice and something new, something that made my wolf go crazy. My hands, which were onthe both sides of the couch, clenched into fists. I could feel the
Blaze’s POVThe silence amongst us after we left the room was heavy. Hours had passed and we all waited for her.We didn't know how long it would take, but something inside us just insisted that we waited.I sat on the couch, staring at the floor, replaying the last time this happened. The horror that came with it and the decisions I had to make.Jax was at the other end of the couch, sitting still like a stone.Milo and Rhys too.Then all of a sudden, Milo somehow shouted, pulling me from the deep thoughts."Shit," he whispered, his eyes wide, and his voice full of pure terror. "She's awake."I was on my feet in a second. We all were. Jax, Milo, Rhys. We stood like soldiers, who were tense and ready.Thalia stood there.She wasn't screaming. She wasn't holding her head or even crying. She just looked at us, with her eyes calm and a little confused. Her robe hung loosely around her. She looked… normal. Too normal for the kind of chaos I was expecting.Or should I say we all were expec
Thalia's POVI was in a wide and empty space. I was curled up on the ground. The despair was so real, and even now in this place, I felt my pain, sadness, and regrets. But all these emotions quickly changed into a hot, flaring anger.I didn't want this from the beginning.I didn't want to be a werewolf.I don't want to stay with men who were troubled and loved their life struggling with unknown humans when they could just mind their business.I didn't want to dwell in the midst of men with fucking lunar surges determining their actions.I certainly didn't want to be attracted to my fucking stepbrothers or even stepsister—if that even makes sense.I wanted my old life back.I wanted to just leave this damn place and face breakups and betrayals and rejections.Then, a person appeared in front of me. They weren't a stranger. Their face was kind, but also serious. And a little bit filled with sadness. Their voice was calm and gentle. It wasn't loud, but it filled the whole space."Stop yo
Milo’s POVMy heart was pounding. I had just watched Rhys wake up. He looked at Thalia on the floor and—he knew. He looked at me, and he also knew I gave her the absolver. And he knew what that meant.A heavy silence filled the room. No one yelled. Not anymore, and no one moved. Jax was no longer red-faced and angry. He just stared at Thalia. His eyes looked empty. Blaze was still standing over her, grim and quiet. Rhys leaned against the doorframe. He looked tired. And scared. But his eyes were sharp, as they took everything in.The silence in the room was worse than the yelling. It was the kind of quietness when there’s a shared nightmare. The same thing had happened before. With another human. And it ended badly. Like—really badly.My stomach twisted when I realized what I had done. Blaze had asked for anything. Plus, she was screaming. Her power was going crazy. I didn't know what to do, and I certainly didn't know how to go about it with the “anything to calm her down” instructio
Rhys's POVMy head hurt and my body ached all over. It felt like I'd just fought a big battle. But I was back to being me, Rhys. And not Reena. That was the first thing I checked. That wild, hungry feeling that came with her was gone.I was lying on a couch in the living room. I blinked thrice as I tried to clear my head.Reena. She was always dramatic. Every time she showed up, she always made a mess. But I always had to let her out to balance the equation. She was a trail of trouble. Just hope she hadn't done much this time.Then, a cold shiver ran down my back. A memory hit me, it was sharp and clear. Before I took over the seat from Reena in the dark room, she had whispered to me: “I had Thalia and she was everything.” with a wink.My eyes snapped open instantly.Thalia? No.My heart pounded. A sick and sinking feeling hit me. Reena "having" someone was never good. It always meant she'd taken too much. Left disaster behind.Then I heard it. Voices. Not just voices but loud voices.
Jax's POVAs I stared at Thalia, my jaw felt locked. My eyes were glued to her. She was on the floor. Naked. Shaking. Her face was soaked with tears. A strange growl had ripped from her throat. It wasn't human. And I knew—no, we all knew what it was. Then her arm shot out. It moved so fast and so strong. It hit Milo hard in the chest. Milo, who was bigger than her, stumbled back. He almost fell.That was it for us.A proof. Right there. In front of us, telling us that she wasn't the Thalia we had known a few hours ago. And confirming our fears. She wasn't just exposed to the surge. She had taken it in. Deep inside her.Blaze moved first. He was always the calm one when things went crazy like this.He stepped past Milo. His eyes were focused on Thalia. His voice was low and calm. Although he had intended for it to be steady. But I could hear the tight edge in it. The worry that was fully clothing the sound of his voice."Easy, Thalia," Blaze said, as he raised his hands. Like he was tal
