Bright

The tension in the house was like a rope tightening around my neck. No one said it out loud, but everyone felt it. The hunters’ attack had left invisible scars in every corner, and I could see it in the way the pack moved, in the whispers, in the distrust hanging in the air.

I was sitting on the couch, with Sophia nearby, though she felt miles away. She didn’t look at me, she didn’t want to. I knew it. She was still upset with me for what I had said about Dante. And even though I tried to convince myself I didn’t care, the truth was that it was eating me alive inside. Seeing her silence, her distance, was worse than any wound.

And to make it worse, James was speaking with Dante in private, as if I didn’t exist. My own Alpha, my so-called brother, trusting him more than me. The very thought made my blood boil. I had earned my place in this pack with my own hands, with sweat, with blood, being his right hand. And suddenly, Dante… he showed up as if he had always belonged, as

    BrightRage consumed me like fire in my throat. I couldn’t stay silent any longer, couldn’t keep pretending everything was fine when inside me every fiber screamed that Dante had something to do with what I was thinking. And the worst of all was the way Sophia looked at me, as if I were the crazy one, as if I were raving in front of everyone. No. Damn it. This wasn’t some fantasy of mine. Something didn’t add up. Dante was always there, always lurking, always showing up at the worst possible moments. Coincidence? Not for me. And when the pieces fit together, even if you have to force them, you listen.“I won’t let you stop me from saying what I think,” I spat, staring straight into her eyes.The disappointment on her face cut through me like a knife. To see my wife, the one who was supposed to be on my side, pulling me back to silence me in front of everyone… that hurt worse than any punch. And still, I didn’t stop.I turned to Dante and marked him in my mind as the enemy hiding insi

    SophiaI looked at Bright, annoyed by his attitude. He had just accused Dante without the slightest hesitation, as if he had always wanted to do it. It was fucking uncomfortable to see how everyone stared at Bright and Dante as if the fight of the year had just begun. Nobody said anything, but everyone was saying everything. The murmurs continued among them, but no one dared to take a side.The pack was going to stand by Bright because he was an important part of it, but I knew no one really believed Dante had anything to do with what he was being accused of. You could see it on everyone’s face; it made no sense that Dante could have anything to do with this. It didn’t add up because he had also been one of the ones attacked on different occasions.Bright was obsessed, and I didn’t want to hurt him. I didn’t want to be against him, but what he was doing wasn’t right. Distrusting each other in the middle of a war would lead us nowhere, and it didn’t do our pack any good to start suspec

    SophiaBright’s gaze was heavier than usual. The intensity in his eyes was something I simply couldn’t ignore. Everyone noticed it. It wasn’t as if at home everyone’s attention was specifically on Bright and me, but my brother exchanged looks with me, with Dante, and with Bright. He had more important matters to deal with, but the way he looked at us meant he realized that not everything was in order.Honestly, when it came to Bright, Dante, and me, nothing was ever right. It was always uncomfortable.The pack was close, but none of them had been attacked. They hadn’t even had time to react and defend us because everything happened too quickly, and by then Dante and Bright had already stepped in to fight. James had done the same. After Bright and Dante dragged the bodies out of the house, James gathered the pack throughout the house, but before that, he took a minute to speak with Dante alone.Bright wasn’t invited to that conversation, which bothered him, but he didn’t complain too m

    BrightBeing in Sophia’s house with her family felt strange after everything that had happened between us. We both pretended nothing was wrong, just to avoid fighting in front of them. But we knew things weren’t right. The situation was anything but comforting. Not that night. That night felt like being trapped inside a cage. I felt cornered, squeezed between my instincts and the desire to please Sophia. It suffocated me.I sat at the table for dinner beside her, silent. She feigned calm. She answered her family’s questions politely, but I could see the tension in her every move. We hadn’t been the same since the argument. Since she had learned the truth about my thoughts, something had broken between us. She didn’t say it out loud, but I could feel it in every distant gesture, in every shortened word she spoke.I told myself I didn’t care. Or at least, I tried to. Because what really mattered was that my instincts screamed one thing: Dante was behind all of this. The thought wouldn’t

    SophiaMy parents’ house had always been a refuge, a place where the world seemed to fall silent. A safe place, like a fortress. But that night, everything was uncomfortable. It felt like the wolf’s mouth. As dinner unfolded with tense conversations and forced smiles, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was about to happen. It wasn’t just what I had overheard between Bright and my father, nor the words that had torn at me when they accused Dante. It was a deeper premonition, something pressing against my chest, warning me that the calm was nothing more than a mirage before the storm.Mom and Dad tried to keep the evening light, asking about everyday things: James’s work, my sister-in-law’s health, the home renovations they were planning. I pretended to be interested, nodded, and smiled, but my mind was trapped in a tangled mess of thoughts circling around Dante, Sabrina, Bright, and the invisible threat that had been haunting us for weeks.Bright sat beside me, his eyes fixed
