Bright

It felt like a joke seeing how Sophia had all her suitors gathered in front of her. Stefan, Dante, and me. I tried to stay calm, but a few comments slipped from my lips. I couldn’t contain the rage inside my body. I had to let out the poison that was stuck in the middle of my throat.

During the meeting, I couldn’t focus. I already knew what was coming when I got up in the morning, but I didn’t think the four of us would arrive at almost the same time and be alone together. I hadn’t counted on the delay of the other meeting members.

Most of what was said went in one ear and out the other. I caught myself losing my mind more than once. I just nodded whenever someone looked at me as if I were really present, but the truth was that my mind was somewhere else. Drowning in a sea of chaotic thoughts.

I wanted to leave. I couldn’t stand being far from her, but I also couldn’t breathe when Sophia was near. I didn’t leave because I didn’t want to show any more signs of what was already o

    SophiaThe call came ten days after that confrontation with James at home. Since then, he hadn’t replied to a single message from Bright or me, though I knew he was keeping tabs on our health through the wolves stationed outside the house. They told him I was alive. My brother’s silence felt sharp, and although I tried to convince myself that time would ease the tension, deep down I knew something had broken between us, like a crack slowly spreading across fragile ground.That’s why, when we received his unexpected call summoning us urgently to my parents' house, both Bright and I were left speechless and stunned. No words were exchanged on the way there, only nervous glances and tense gestures. I kept my hands tightly clenched on my thighs as the car moved along the roads I knew so well, but which now felt foreign and hostile.When we arrived, the first thing we noticed was how the wolves guarding the entrance looked at us. There was something different in their eyes, a mix of judgme

    Sophia The door closed with a soft click behind Dante, and the silence that followed was thick as fog. He was there, in my living room, and I didn’t know what to do with my hands, or with my words. My heart was beating in my throat, as if it wanted to skip all formalities and scream the truth without my permission."Is it true?" Dante asked, bluntly, without hesitation, as if he needed to pin me to the wall with his gaze. His brown eyes were dark, wounded. There were no greetings or explanations beforehand, just that question, hanging between us like a spear. "What...?" I tried to feign ignorance, but he stepped forward, and I knew I couldn’t keep hiding. "Is it true that you’re pregnant, Sopha?"The air suddenly felt heavier. I swallowed hard, looked away for a moment, and nodded softly. "Yes," I murmured. "It’s true." The silence that followed was deafening. Dante ran a hand through his hair, lips slightly parted, speechless. For a few seconds, the only sound was the water run

    SophiaThe house was silent. Mom had already left early, leaving us alone for the first time in several days. I remember she kissed me on the forehead before leaving and gave me a look that said it all: worry, exhaustion, and also relief. She knew I needed to talk to Bright, that we needed to understand each other.I walked down the stairs slowly. Bright was in the kitchen, sitting on one of the stools by the island. He had a cup of coffee in his hands, staring blankly into nothing. When he heard my footsteps, he looked up. His eyes were tired, with dark circles and a sadness so heavy it seemed to hang in the air."Your mom left," he said quietly.I nodded and approached. I sat down across from him without saying anything at first. I just looked at him. There was something about his hunched posture, the way he held the cup with both hands like it was an anchor, that made my chest ache.“We were about to talk about this before everything blew up, remember?”Bright nodded without lookin

    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,
