D.R. Dares and the torn Valentine Chapter 10
Magnus rises quickly, ignoring the curious glances from the other wolves at the high table. His long strides carry him swiftly toward the exit, following the fading scents of Dorothy and Ethan into the night air.In her studio, Dorothy lights the old oil lamps that cast a warm, flickering glow over her workspace. She prefers their gentle illumination to the harsh overhead lights, especially when working on emotionally charged pieces. The sketch of the broken heart-shaped box lies on her desk, where she left it, waiting to be developed into something more substantial.She runs her fingers lightly over the drawing, feeling the graphite smudge beneath her touch. Vulnerability. The competition theme seems to mock her now, demanding that she transform her personal pain into something universal, something worthy of national recognition."It's good," Ethan's voice comes from the doorway, making her start. "Really good, actually."Dorothy whirls around, instinctively moving to shield the draw

Across the packhouse, Dorothy sits alone in her bedroom, carefully adding final touches to her sketch. The broken heart-shaped box now lies amid scattered rose petals, each one rendered with painful precision. In the corner of the page, almost hidden in shadow, is a small wolf figure watching from a distance.Her phone buzzes with a text from Lila: "Dinner in 5. You coming?"Dorothy sighs, setting aside her sketch. She doesn't feel like facing the pack tonight, especially not with the possibility of seeing Magnus across the dining hall. Yet hiding away would only fuel gossip and draw unwanted attention."On my way," she texts back, reluctantly rising to change into fresh clothes.In the communal dining hall, pack members gather in their usual social clusters. Ethan stands with his training partners, his eyes repeatedly scanning the room for signs of his sister or Magnus. His wolf remains restless, sensing the unresolved tension."Looking for someone?" asks Cole, one of his training pa

Dorothy sighs, setting down her pencil. "There is no commission. That was just an excuse for Ethan."Understanding dawns on Lila's face. "You're protecting him. After what he did.""It's complicated," Dorothy says, turning back to her sketch. The broken heart takes shape beneath her fingers, each shard rendered with painful precision.Outside, Ethan paces beneath the oak tree, his wolf's restlessness mirroring his own. Something has happened between his sister and his best friend, something significant enough to send Dorothy into tears and Magnus into an uncharacteristic state of distraction. The protective instinct that has guided his relationship with Dorothy since childhood urges him to demand answers, yet something holds him back.Perhaps it's the memory of Dorothy's fierce independence, her repeated insistence that she doesn't need his protection. Or perhaps it's the respect he holds for Magnus, forged through years of friendship. Whatever the reason, Ethan finds himself caught b

Dorothy doesn't turn around, but her pencil pauses briefly over her sketch, the only acknowledgment she offers. Her mind races with conflicting emotions: relief at finally speaking her truth, fear of what might come next, and beneath it all, a treacherous hope that refuses to be extinguished despite her best efforts.As the door closes behind the three visitors, Dorothy releases a shuddering breath. She's alone now with the sketch that emerged from her pain, a physical manifestation of vulnerability that suddenly feels too raw to face.Across the packhouse grounds, Magnus walks silently beside Ethan, acutely aware of his friend's sideways glances. The weight of the unspoken truth hangs between them, made heavier by years of friendship and loyalty."What's really going on?" Ethan finally asks, stopping beneath a towering oak tree that marks the boundary between the training grounds and residential areas. "And don't give me that commission crap. My sister doesn't do commissions."Magnus

The words catch in Dorothy's throat as a lifetime of holding back crashes against the raw vulnerability of this moment. She turns to face him, her eyes shifting from blue to green as determination takes hold."Because I see you," she says simply. "Not the Alpha's son or Ethan's friend. Just you."Magnus feels the weight of her words like a physical touch. In a pack where his identity has always been defined by his future role, the idea that someone sees beyond it is both terrifying and exhilarating."I've watched you for years," Dorothy continues, her artist's eye for detail evident in her words. "How you slip away to the lake when the expectations become too much. How do you help the pups learn to swim every summer without being asked? The way you leave food by old Mrs Harmon's door but never take credit."She takes a deep breath, her hands fidgeting at her sides. "I notice things. It's what I do. And everything I've noticed about you... I've liked."Outside, Lila hears the raw hones

Dorothy nods, her eyes focused on the emerging lines taking shape beneath her skilled hands. Already, the outline of scattered roses, rose petals, glass and chocolates on the floor. Like someone had thrown gifts away to the floor.Back in the hallway, Magnus watches the space where Dorothy disappeared, the weight of his mistake growing heavier by the second. He can feel Ethan's curious gaze on him, but he can't bring himself to meet his friend's eyes."Actually," Magnus says, making a sudden decision, "I need to talk to Dorothy about something. Pack business. I'll catch up with you later."Before Ethan can respond, Magnus strides down the hallway in the direction Dorothy and Lila went, leaving his friend staring after him with confusion etched across his face. Something isn't adding up, and Ethan's wolf stirs uneasily within him.In the studio, Dorothy's hand moves with increasing confidence across the paper. The scattered rose petals take shape, each one detailed with remarkable prec
