~DIMITRI~The mountains were quiet in a way I hadn’t realized I’d missed. The early morning sun painted the peaks in gold, the air smelled of pine and fresh earth, and for a fleeting moment, it felt like the world had stopped. Just Scarlett and me, away from everyone, away from the chaos of Alexander, away from the constant pull of the past.I watched her walk along the edge of the lake, her boots crunching softly over gravel, her hair catching the light like it had been spun from sunlight. She smiled when the wind caught her hair just right, and I felt a knot tighten in my chest, not from jealousy, not from possessiveness, but from the sheer impossibility of holding this moment forever.“I can’t believe I convinced you to come out here,” I murmured, leaning against the hood of the car, arms crossed.She laughed, turning toward me, her eyes sparkling. “You didn’t convince me. I needed it. You just provided the scenery.”I tried not to let the heat rise to my cheeks. She always had tha

~DIMITRI~There’s a particular stillness that comes before things change.Not peace, peace is earned. This is quieter than that. Heavier. Like the world itself has paused, waiting to see whether you’ll step forward or turn back.I feel it the moment I wake.The mansion is unusually silent. Even the humans I trained, the ones who move like wolves despite their lack of claws and furs seem subdued this morning. Footsteps are softer. Voices lower. As if they sense it too.Scarlett is still asleep.I stand in the doorway of the guest room she’s claimed as hers whenever she stays here. She insists it’s hers now, not a guest room, and I don’t argue. I never do with her when she says something with that quiet certainty in her voice.She’s curled on her side, hair spilling over the pillow, her breathing slow and even. Her wolf is calm beneath her skin, not prowling, not pacing, just there. Present.That alone feels like a victory.We aren’t official. Not really.But we’re close enough that the

~ALEXANDER~There is a moment when you realize patience has stopped being a virtue and has started becoming a slow form of self-destruction.That moment comes to me quietly.Not in anger.Not in violence.But in the simple, unbearable truth that Scarlett no longer looks for me first.I see it in the way her gaze drifts when she laughs, how it turns instinctively toward Dimitri, how her body angles toward him even when she isn’t aware she’s doing it. I see it in the way her wolf tolerates him now, how the hostility she once carried has softened into wary acceptance.Acceptance is dangerous.Because it leads to choice.And I have already lost once to a choice she never truly made.She doesn’t remember being mine.She doesn’t remember the bond snapping into place, the way fate tied us together so tightly it hurt to breathe apart. She doesn’t remember the way I loved her before the world fell apart.And that is the cruelest part of all.I can’t compete with memories she doesn’t have.But

~SCARLETT ~I don’t realize how much my life has changed until I’m standing in the kitchen of Dimitri’s mansion at six in the morning, barefoot, hair a mess, arguing with Chase about pancakes.“You flipped it too early,” he says, leaning against the counter like he owns the place.“I did not,” I argue, poking at the pan. “You’re just dramatic.”Cleo laughs from the doorway, arms crossed, eyes bright. “She flipped it early.”“Traitor,” I mutter.Chase grins. “Told you.”The sound of it, laughter, warmth, normalcy, still surprises me sometimes. Not because I don’t belong here, but because a part of me once believed I never would belong anywhere again.My wolf stretches lazily beneath my skin.(You are safe,) she says.I pause.That word still feels fragile.Dimitri enters quietly, already dressed, sleeves rolled up, his presence shifting the air in the room without him saying a word. He watches us for a moment before his gaze finds mine.There’s something different there lately.Not dis

~SCARLETT~wake up to the sound of breathing that isn’t mine.For half a second, panic grips me, muscles tensing, my wolf rising sharply beneath my skin but then I register the steady rhythm, the familiar weight beside me, the faint scent of cedar and night air.Dimitri.I relax back into the pillows, exhaling slowly.He’s asleep on his back, one arm thrown over his eyes like he fell that way without thinking. The sheets are tangled around his waist, and for a moment, I just watch him.This is new.Not him.Not us.But this feeling, this quiet certainty that I don’t need to run the moment I wake up.We aren’t officially anything. Not in words. But in actions? In presence?It’s hard to deny.I slip out of bed carefully, grabbing one of his shirts from the chair by the window. It smells like him, clean, sharp, grounding and I tug it over my head before padding toward the balcony.The city is already awake.From here, Dimitri’s world looks different. Controlled. Ordered. Humans move acro

~DIMITRI~There is a moment, quiet, unremarkable to anyone watching, when you realize restraint has stopped being noble and started being cowardice.For me, it happens while Scarlett is laughing.Not loudly. Not dramatically. Just a soft, breathy sound as she leans forward on the training mat, brushing sweat-damp hair out of her eyes while Cleo says something under her breath that makes her roll them fondly.It’s an ordinary moment.And I am tired of watching it from the edges.She moves differently now.More confident. More sure of her body. Her wolf no longer presses against her skin like a caged storm, it moves with her, alert but calmer, its presence woven into her instead of fighting for control. That alone tells me how far she’s come.How far we’ve come.I stand near the edge of the training room, arms folded, pretending to review schedules on my phone while my attention stays fixed on her. On the way she checks the room instinctively before relaxing. On how her gaze flicks to m
