I climbed the forest trail that ran beside the waterfall, my eyes blurry, stinging from the tears that hadn’t quite fallen yet. Tucked under my arm was the trunk. The one full of memories. Heavy and aching like my chest.
My mind kept circling back to Darius.
We used to laugh at the dumbest things, like really laugh. The kind that makes your ribs hurt. The first time I ever saw him cry was during The Notebook—he tried to hide it, but I caught him. The last time he cried was on his seventeenth birthday, the day he shifted for the first time.
He told me it was no big deal. That the pain wasn’t all that bad.
But when I went throu

Edeline“Darius,” I said, voice trembling, “I wish I knew what really happened. Why you hid it from me. Why you got sick, why you never told me. I’ve got so many questions and I’m terrified I’ll never get answers. I don’t know if you’ll be there when I meet the moon... I don’t even know if you're really gone. But wherever you are, I hope you found peace. I hope... you’re with your mate now.”My throat tightened. My voice dropped to a whisper.“Why’d you do it, D?” A sob escaped before I could stop it. “Why’d you kill her? Why’d you get so obsessed with me? We were best friends. That’s all I ever saw us as. You were supposed to be my rock. My safe space. When... w

EdelineA long silence passed between us.“So yes,” he finally admitted, “I started working with Tatiana. I told myself it was strategic. I told myself it was for you. But the truth is... I just wanted to win. I wanted you, Edeline. I wanted you so fucking bad. But I was sick. My mind... it was never right.”He looked haunted now—so much older than I remembered.“When I met my mate, I told myself it was a second chance. That I’d find someone else to build a future with. But she wasn’t you. And that twisted part of me… it started to resent her. I convinced myself she was the obstacle. That she’d steal my last chance with you.”&nbs

EdelinePanic clawed up my chest. I shot up and reached for him. “Wait! No!”But he caught me in his arms, holding me tight—so tight I could barely breathe. “The Darius you know... that’s who I’ve always been,” he murmured against my hair. “Remember that. I’ll be watching you grow, Edeline. I love you.”His arms tightened, and I broke, sobbing into his chest. The grief cracked open the dam I’d held for too long.Then... he was gone.I stood beneath the weeping willow, alone again, kneeling atop the grave of the friend who had shaped so much of my life.

EdelineI pulled the paper from my back pocket and angrily threw it at his chest.He frowned as he read it, his confusion mirroring mine when he first saw the tattoo. He looked up at me, bewildered. “What is this?”Then, his gaze shifted back to my arm as he examined the tattoo, his expression a mirror of the shock I had felt moments ago.I pressed the bridge of my nose, groaning softly. "I told you that Darius was sent by the moon to speak with me. He gave me a thorough explanation of everything. He denied that I was incited or that I sought the ink.

How is it possible to feel all of it at once?Edeline.One word. One person. And she’s the only one who could ever make me feel this way. There’s no better way to describe her than just—amazing.Today was chaos. A rollercoaster of emotions I didn’t sign up for.

PercivalI walked over to her, dragging a hand down my face and letting out a breath. Yeah—I was still butt naked. She looked up at me with that sexy little smirk and handed me a pair of boxers. “Would you mind putting these on?”I slipped them on right in front of her, because why not? Her eyes didn’t shy away—not even a little. And even though I was brooding, pissed, restless as hell… feeling her gaze on me? It did something. Like a hum underneath my skin. My wolf liked it. Liked that she appreciated what we were.I caught her biting her lip while I stood there. “How are you so calm with all this chaos going on?” I asked, half in awe, half in disbelief.Her brows li

PercivalI was sweating bullets. Rage still pulsing under my skin. But that kiss… her touch… it grounded me. Her lips always tasted like peace in the middle of a fucking battlefield. I swallowed hard, jaw clenched as I slowly lifted her shirt, exposing her smooth, firm stomach. She let me. Didn’t flinch. Just gently slid her fingers into my hair, rubbing slow circles as I dropped my forehead against her belly.I needed to be right there—touching the proof that she was still mine. That she was carrying a part of me. Her voice was soft as her hand moved through my hair. “Percival… do you remember what Darius said about us? That we’d have a happy life together?”I nodded, eyes shut, breathing her in.“And Claire,” she added. “She said I had the moon’s favor. That it wouldn’t let me die. I won’t die, Percival.”I murmured against her skin, voice barely audible. “But… the pup.”She sighed beneath me, hand still gentle. “The pup will be fine. I promise.”We stayed like that for a moment—j

EdelinePercival had left just moments ago, the front door clicking softly behind him, and I was still on the couch—wrapped in silence, surrounded by the faint hum of memory.

Edeline“Let him know that. Let Maximus know that.”“I will. But Conor... this attack? It’s bigger than your history with Gaspar. Whatever’s coming isn’t going to wait for the dust to settle from a dick-measuring contest.”He let out a low, frustrated sigh as he crossed the line. "Well, if you're right, then it's not me you need to worry about. Gaspar has his issues with me because of Cilla. But no matter who shows up, we're here to fight by your side—for you, not for Percival. For all I care, that little shit can—"Before he could finish, my wolf growled, low and warning. "Be cautious, Conor. That's my friend."
