Broken Bonds: Beyond Destiny 135
BrightI woke up abruptly, feeling a kind of emptiness in my chest. My arm instinctively reached out to the side of the bed, searching for her warmth. But she wasn’t there. The space beside me was still intact, cold, distant. I turned over, replaying in my mind the last images before falling asleep: Sophia’s back walking away, her silhouette blending into the darkness of the hallway, the guest room door closing behind her.I couldn’t sleep anymore. The night had been long, and although I closed my eyes many times, my head wouldn’t stop spinning. I thought about Sophia, her distant gaze, the way she avoided me. But I also thought about Sabrina. About what I said. About what I couldn’t say. And about what could happen to her if she stayed isolated, away from the pack.The sunrise was just beginning to show through the window, but I decided to get up. I couldn’t keep lying there pretending the world wasn’t falling apart around me.I went to the kitchen. The silence was heavy. I turned on

Sophia Sleeping in the guest room wasn’t as uncomfortable as I had expected. The bed was spacious, and the sheets were freshly washed, carrying that soft lavender scent that had always felt calming to me. Even so, I couldn’t fall asleep. My mom was breathing softly beside me, deeply asleep, as if she’d been waiting for years to rest like this by my side, in peace. I, on the other hand, was wide awake. My eyes were fixed on the ceiling, my heart tangled in thoughts I couldn’t shake off. Bright. He had said he only went to talk to her, that nothing had happened with Sabrina. But that didn’t give me peace. What hurt wasn’t just the fact that he had gone; it was that he hid it from me. He did it knowing I’d notice, knowing it would hurt me. And he still went. He still chose not to tell me. He kept it to himself as if we could just go on without it affecting what we have. As if I could. And now, I was here, in this bed, without him. I missed him. Much more than I’d like to admit. His

Bright I watched from the kitchen as Sophia and her mother talked on the couch. Even though the hallway separated us, I could feel every word exchanged as if it were happening inches away from me. I held the teapot in one hand, but I couldn’t concentrate on what I was doing. Every fragmented sentence I overheard twisted my stomach, not just because it was an emotionally charged conversation, but because I was also carrying the weight of a lie.“I’m sorry, sweetie. I should’ve done something. I should’ve said something. I never should’ve let him throw you out. I’m going to regret it for the rest of my life,” her mother said, her voice breaking.It hurt. It hurt because it was true. Sophia didn’t deserve any of what she’d gone through. Not what her father did to her, and not what I had just done.I prepared the tea with trembling hands, trying to focus on the simple movements: boil the water, add the leaves, pour. I clung to those tasks like a lifeline.When I approached with the cups,

SophiaI was finishing folding a blanket on the couch when I heard Bright’s footsteps coming down the stairs. His steps were slow, almost as if he were unsure of every movement. I looked at him as soon as he appeared in the doorway of the living room. He had that expression he wore whenever he was about to give me news he knew I wouldn’t like.“Everything okay?” I asked, setting the blanket aside.Bright nodded, but the gesture was forced.“I have to go out for a bit. James called me for a meeting… at my parents’ house.”I frowned.“What? But James was here just a few hours ago. Why does he want to see you again?”Bright shrugged as if he didn’t understand it either.“He said it was urgent. That he needed to speak to me alone.”I stood up, crossing my arms.“Then I’m going with you.”He immediately shook his head and took a step toward me.“No. I don’t want you running into your father. We don’t know how he’ll react, and I don’t want anything to upset you. Especially now… with the bab

Bright The air was colder in this part of the city. Or at least it felt that way as I walked down that familiar dirt path leading to Sabrina’s grandparents’ old cabin. I’d been here a couple of times before. I had spent the last thirty minutes convincing myself that this was the right thing to do. That even though it was hard, it was necessary. But with every step I took, I felt further away from Sophia. Further from home. From peace.When I arrived, the wooden door was closed, but smoke rose from the chimney. She was here. No doubt about it. I knocked twice. The sound of her footsteps on the other side made me swallow hard. I wasn’t ready for this. But I did it anyway. The door opened, and there she was: Sabrina. Her hair was a mess, she was wearing a sweatshirt she’d once stolen from me, and her eyes looked exhausted. Her expression, I couldn’t tell if it was surprise or resignation. "Bright?" "I know you weren’t expecting me, but I need to talk to you." She hesitated but stepp

Bright James fell silent after Sophia went upstairs. The echo of her footsteps faded like a distant bell, but the weight of her absence still hung in the air between us. In my mind. There was another intention behind this, and I knew it."It's not about your father, is it?" I asked bluntly.James sighed and ran a hand over his face, as if that could relieve the tension written all over it. "No," he admitted with a trace of exhaustion. "But I didn’t want to worry her. She already has enough on her plate with the pregnancy and everything else."I stood in front of him, waiting. I knew he hadn’t come just to chat. There was something else, something heavier, darker. And he didn’t take long to say it. "Sabrina officially left the pack this morning, Bright."I swallowed hard. "Officially?" "Yes. She turned in her insignia a little while ago and left without saying much else, so I don't think she's coming back. It looks that way. But she repeated the reason why she left. You already kn
