‎Selene returned home later in the afternoon with the heaviness still clinging to her chest.

‎The talk with Aiden at the park and her drinking at the local bar had done nothing to fix her frustration, only adding to it.

‎Aiden’s kindness had not fixed anything. If anything, it made her feel worse. Not that Aiden himself was the problem, Selene knew he'd tried his best to offer her the comfort she sought. However, since she hadn't fully divulged the meat of the matter to him, he could only

    ‎The four spent a while talking until Kyle decided to leave saying he had other things to tend to.‎‎Selene followed him outside and escorted him down the stairs. ‎‎“Thank you, Kyle. Without you I wouldn't have known what to do.” Selene said softly.‎‎Kyle shrugged,“Its nothing. But you know, I do hope you know what to do from here on?” He turned to face her, studying her expression for a moment, "This whole situation…”He paused.“It’s related to the Melinda and Aiden issue.”‎‎Selene looked away immediately. Her silence confirmed that she knew.‎‎Kyle sighed.“Ivy is it? Maybe you should consider reconciling with Melinda.”‎‎Selene glanced at him with a frown. She wanted to refute his suggestion, but she knew Kyle was right.‎‎“Hey, Liam would love for you to. And perhaps, maybe you should also stop seeing Aiden for a while.”‎‎Selene's eyebrow lifted. She looked down in deep thought and sighed shortly after. " I guess... You're not wrong. I'll think about it."‎‎Kyle smiled

    After leaving Selene's that night, Kyle drove home in silence.‎‎The night road stretched endlessly ahead, illuminated only by the pale beams of his headlights. The forest passed by in dark blurs on the road side.Normally, he enjoyed the quiet.‎‎But for some reason, tonight it felt… heavier.‎‎His hands tightened slightly on the steering wheel as a thought echoed in his mind, 'Why did I go?'‎‎The question had been circling in his head since he left Selene’s house. He could have ignored her call. He had every reason to.‎‎After everything that happened between them… after the way she treated him in the past… after the choices she made. Wasn't he seeking revenge? So why was he helping?‎‎Kyle exhaled slowly. ' I swore to have my revenge when I heard she got back in town. Yet, the moment her voice came through the phone, panicked and desperate, I hadn’t even hesitated.' He had simply said:"I’ll be right there."‎‎Why?‎‎Kyle scoffed softly to himself.“Don’t lie to yourself, Kyl

    ‎The creature crouched over the limp body of what seemed like a raccoon, tearing into it with sharp teeth. ‎‎Its dark fur shadowed in the dusk, blood stained the grass beneath it.‎‎Clara gasped at the sight of this and Selene’s heart shattered.‎‎They all knew without doubt that, that was Liam. Her son!‎‎The wolf before them was wild, almost rabid. To think that Liam had become like this...‎‎Her hands trembled as she fell on her knees and cried in a whisper, "Oh God…”‎‎The wolf’s ears suddenly twitched. Slowly, its head lifted, it's glowing eyes locked onto them.‎‎For a moment the clearing went completely silent. Then the wolf suddenly growled, it's eyes thinning as it lunged.‎‎Selene barely had time to react. But Kyle was already moving.‎‎He stepped forward, planting himself between the wolf and the women.‎‎“Enough, Liam!" His words cut through the air like thunder, and Lam’s wolf skidded to a halt several feet away. Lurking around the three, eyes locked onto Kyle

    ‎Selene turned back to Liam.“Don't give in, Liam. I'm going to get help,” she said quickly.‎‎Clara who had silently watched behind Selene asked,“Who?”‎‎Selene hesitated only a second.“Kyle.” Selene forced a reassuring smile, though her chest tightened painfully as she said the words, "I’ll be right back.”‎‎Liam nodded again, though his body still trembled.‎‎Selene rushed out of the room. Clara behind her as they descended the stairs.‎‎Selene didn’t stop on her rush until she reached downstairs and grabbed her phone with shaking hands. She didn't care that she had Kyle had been at odds for a while now, Liam's safety was all that mattered. Selene pressed the call button when she found Kyle's number. ‎‎The ringing seemed endless. Once, twice, three times.‎‎Her anxiety grew with every second that passed. Liam's struggle etched in her mind, putting her in distress. What if he doesn’t answer? The thought stabbed through her chest. ‎‎Maybe this was karma. Maybe the way she ha

    ‎ ‎Selene stepped out of the small office building with a long breath she hadn’t realized she was holding. The afternoon air felt lighter somehow. ‎For the first time in days, something had actually gone right. She had the job. ‎It wasn’t glamorous, just a record-keeping work for a small logistics company. But it paid enough. ‎Enough to keep things afloat. Enough to buy them time to build up. ‎She would start the next week and was to wait for a contract. Selene walked toward her car with a faint sense of relief settling in her chest. For a brief moment, the weight pressed on her shoulders eased. ‎Things could still work out. ‎She just needed to hold everything together a little longer. ‎With that in mind, she set her mind to other problems. She would meet Aiden later tonight. Not to reconcile, but to cut ties with him entirely. ‎Then, she would restart afresh. Just her and her son, Liam. She planned to talk sense to him first. ‎The thought dimmed her small sense of victo

    ‎The next day, Liam woke up really angry. He didn’t know why at first. ‎‎The feeling sat heavy in his chest the moment his eyes opened, like something pressing down on him. The argument from yesterday replayed in fragments inside his head.‎‎His mother yelling; Melinda shouting; Ivy standing there. ‎‎But what struck him the most was the way Ivy had looked when she left with Melinda.‎‎' I am your mother. And from this moment, your friendship with Ivy is over!' Liam pushed the blanket away and sat up abruptly. ‎‎He didn’t want to be here. He didn't want to see his mother. ‎‎Liam dressed quickly, barely glancing at the clock, pulling on his uniform with rough, impatient movements. ‎‎Downstairs, the house smelled faintly of coffee and toast. Clara was already on the couch, scrolling through her phone while chewing on something sweet. Selene stood near the counter, staring into a cup of coffee as if the dark liquid might answer something for her.‎‎Neither of them noticed Lia

    The restaurant Aiden chose was nothing like the noisy pubs Selene remembered from her youth, neither was it like those she and her ex would go to, just to end up in an heated argument. ‎‎This time, the air was different. ‎‎It was tucked away in the quiet part of town, lit with luminescent light

    ‎Selene stood in front of the mirror longer than she should have, tilting her head this way and that, brushing down the silk dress Clara had insisted she wear.‎‎ It was a deep red dress, low enough at the neckline to make her second-guess herself, but not scandalous. ‎‎Her reflection didn’t loo

    ‎The door had barely clicked shut behind Aiden when Clara’s voice came shrieking from upstairs like a siren of chaos.‎‎"Did I just hear him ask you out on a date?!"‎‎Selene groaned, dragging her hand down her face. She turned slowly to find Clara already at the top of the stairs, leaning dramat

    ‎Selene glanced at the natural femme fatale who'd just walked in. ‎ ‎She wore a jean jacket over a crop top and matching pants. Her heels complimenting her long straight legs, while a pair of bangles adorned her wrists. ‎ ‎If Selene was pretty then Clara was just hot. ‎ ‎She had her bu
