Sophia

I had overdue work to finish and a pile of papers on my desk that I needed to go through. Since Mom stopped working on doctor’s orders, Dad asked me to take care of her responsibilities so she could rest peacefully. Mom would return to work soon, but in the meantime, I was the one who had to handle everything. It was a lot of responsibility, and I wanted to do it right so my parents would see they could trust me with the company.

But I was tired. Especially that day. I felt exhausted. I’d slept very little, my mind tangled up with the photos, the message, the fear of feeling watched. James made sure my parents didn’t suspect what was going on with me. He told them it would be a good idea for me to stay with them for a while so I could be close to Mom, caring for her and giving her affection. Mom was thrilled to have me at the house, so I didn’t feel like a burden.

Dad didn’t like the idea of having more than six werewolves guarding the house all day, but James told him it was p

    SophiaI didn’t expect to be the first one awake, but I was. I got out of bed early, noticing that Bright was still asleep. I wasn’t going to stay with him after the barely-there conversation we had last night. I needed something else to distract my mind, something that had nothing to do with him. I needed to escape the thoughts of what happened last night… how Bright had come to my room looking for shelter, for company… maybe for love. But we hadn’t talked about anything.He just came to tell me he loved me, to sleep beside me but made it very clear that he didn’t want to talk about it. He left me with a mouth full of questions. I refused to keep my mouth shut, but none of my words got through to him. Nothing. Just more silence. More hugs. And an uncertainty that grew heavier and heavier inside me. The most contradictory hug and silence anyone had ever given me.That’s why, when I woke up, I got out of bed and decided to go down to the kitchen. I offered to help the cooks with breakf

    BrightI was sitting in the middle of my room, on the bed, with my back resting against the headboard. The food was sitting on the tray at the desk. The cook had been kind enough to bring it to me. I accepted it, but I didn’t eat. I wasn’t hungry.The knot in my stomach wasn’t from the lack of food, it was from the overwhelming weight pressing down on my shoulders.I told them I didn’t feel like having dinner, and that I wasn’t hungry. I didn’t want to see anyone. I didn’t want to pretend, to fake a relaxed face when a storm of anger was raging inside me. I didn’t want to see my parents or the owners of the house. Not even James, who I had argued with earlier because he hated me. And most of all, I didn’t want to see the one person responsible for this emotional chaos: Sophia.I knew I needed her. I needed to see her. The thought of her burned me from the inside. I craved her voice, her presence —even her silence— but something was holding me back. Maybe it was fear. Maybe it was prid

    SophiaThe silence in the room demanded that my mind speak to me about everything that was happening. The only sound that showed me mercy was that of the leaves outside, lulling me into light drowsiness and urging my thoughts to drift. But it didn’t work. It wasn’t enough. I needed something more.I was lying on my bed, missing Bright’s presence. Meanwhile, my only attempt at distraction was the windowpane, fogged up by the contrast between the warm air inside and the cold of the night. I still couldn’t fall asleep. I couldn’t stop thinking about Bright. Having him in my head was fucking frustrating. I hated loving him this much.After he left the room following our argument, I stayed quiet, waiting for him to come back, but he didn’t. He didn’t even want to eat dinner with the whole family. I waited for him at the table because I didn’t dare go to the guest room and find him there. But he never showed up. Waiting only brought more silence and a chaotic whirlwind inside my chest.Dant

    SophiaWhy was he acting like that? Why was he jealous if he didn’t want anything with me?“I don’t want to pressure you with the same question again, but I don’t understand why you acted so jealous if you don’t want anything with me. That wasn’t just because you wanted to protect me. Right?”His eyes locked onto mine like freshly sharpened knives. My question affected him, I noticed it in the way his body tensed again. There was a storm brewing in his gaze and in his mind. A battle with his own fears, his anger, and disappointment. Bright’s breathing was heavy. He didn’t speak. He just stared at me. He was driving me crazy. I wanted to hear him. I wanted him to tell me that he felt something for me. I needed him to say he couldn’t live without me, that he was so damn in love with me he couldn’t stand being apart from me for another minute.I looked at him the same way. My heart pounded in my ears. A knot was unraveling in my throat. I loved him. I loved him, and my chest burned with

    SophiaI thought the war was over, but the air was so tense it could be cut with a knife. Breathing became difficult: there was a war, and I was in the middle of it. They both seemed to want to fight each other, and I was the only one who could stop them. They couldn’t act like this. Not here. Not now.Bright had to understand that there was a baby inside my body, and the stress of a fight could affect me. Besides, this wasn’t the way to resolve things. Dante simply came to offer his help, but that didn’t mean I would accept it.I was standing between Bright and Dante, who increased the tension in the room with their deadly stares. The pack was nearby, in the library, and I didn’t want anyone to hear what was happening. It was a completely immature scene, and I didn’t want James to show up and judge me again for the consequences of my actions.Bright despised Dante. It was as if the resentment he had felt toward me recently had been redirected at Dante. There were wounds inside him th

    Bright My blood boiled at his presence. He was the kind of person who could push me over the edge just by being somewhere he wasn’t wanted. Dante… Sophia’s ex-boyfriend. The great love she had always told me about. What the hell was he doing in the house? What reason did he have to come to see her? And worse: why was he insisting on speaking to my girlfriend alone? I mean… to Sophia. I knew Sophia felt pressured and uneasy with the situation, especially since I was acting like a total idiot in front of her and refusing to let them talk alone. I knew I had no right to forbid it, but I couldn’t stop myself. Actually, I didn’t even ask, I ordered it. I told her he couldn’t talk to her. What the hell was wrong with me? Once again, I was losing control of my emotions.I stood still for a few seconds, my teeth clenched, my heart pounding with the rage I was trying to suppress. Sophia offered to talk to him in the living room instead of the bedroom, and I knew she did it for me —for m
