MasukSamantha's POVAfter deciding we still had a few hours before sunrise, Zephyr and I agreed to get some sleep first. The moment I stepped into our cabin, I came to a complete stop.A gasp slipped out before I could stop it.“Oh my god, Zephyr. This doesn’t even look like a cabin. It looks like a luxury hotel suite.”I couldn’t hide my excitement.While Zephyr laughed behind me, I immediately started exploring. I moved from room to room, opening doors, peeking into corners, and taking in every detail. It felt like discovering some incredible hidden treasure.The suite was even more beautiful than I’d imagined.The living area alone was larger than some apartments. A comfortable sofa sat near a polished coffee table, and a massive television was mounted against the wall. The lighting was warm and inviting, making the entire place feel cozy despite how luxurious everything looked.Then I opened the bedroom door.I froze.The entire wall seemed to be made of glass.Beyond it stretched the

Samantha “The cruise leaves around half past five.”Zephyr adjusted my coat as we walked along the harbor.The sea breeze was getting colder, and he carefully pulled the fabric tighter around my shoulders.“We’ll probably be on deck when the sun comes up.”His expression softened.“Doesn’t that sound nice?”I smiled immediately.“It sounds incredibly romantic.”Passengers had already been allowed to board, and our luggage was being handled by the staff.We could have gone straight to our suite.Instead, I had chosen something much simpler.A walk.Just the two of us.The harbor glowed beneath rows of lights. Reflections danced across the dark water while ships rested quietly in the distance.The scent of salt lingered in the air.Somehow, this peaceful walk felt more valuable than all the luxury waiting for us onboard.“What are you feeling today?”The question caught me off guard.We had stopped beside a small vendor selling roasted corn.I laughed.“What kind of question is that?”
Samantha’s POVThe moment I settled into the passenger seat, the excitement finally caught up with me.Everything had happened so quickly that my brain still hadn’t fully processed it.A little while ago, I had been standing outside the restaurant feeling disappointed because Zephyr hadn’t shown up. Now I was sitting beside him with cruise tickets in my hands, trying to wrap my head around the fact that he had secretly planned an entire trip for us.The more I thought about it, the more ridiculous I felt.He hadn’t forgotten about me.He hadn’t ignored me.While I spent the day wondering why he wasn’t there, he had been working himself to exhaustion so he could clear his schedule and surprise me.And not with flowers.Not with dinner.With an entire cruise.A cruise whose destination I still didn’t know.“Isolde told me you spent the whole day sulking because I didn’t come see you.”Zephyr reached over and gently pinched my cheek.The smile tugging at his lips made it obvious he was e
Samantha What if one day Zephyr got tired of dealing with me?The fear that came with this thought lingered for a moment before I pushed it away.Deep down, I knew better.Zephyr had never once made me feel like my emotions were inconvenient.Not once.Still, scars didn’t disappear overnight.Some wounds healed slowly.Others liked to remind you they were still there.By the time dinner ended and people started heading home, the disappointment had faded a little.Not completely.But enough that I could ignore it.Or so I thought.Then Isolde approached with an apologetic look on her face.“The driver called. One of the tires went flat. He’s taking the car to get it fixed.”I stared at her.Of course.Of course that would happen today.“We’ve already arranged another driver,” she quickly added. “Would you mind waiting a little longer?”I let out a slow breath.“That’s fine.”And it was.None of this was anyone’s fault.One by one, the rest of the crew left.Soon I was standing outside
Samantha’s POV“Samantha! You got a package from Mr. Lloyd!”The moment I heard Zephyr’s name, I turned around automatically.For some reason, my heart skipped.All day, a small part of me had been secretly hoping that if Zephyr had prepared something special, he would bring it himself. I could almost picture it. He’d walk onto the set with that calm smile of his, find me in the middle of the chaos, and hand it over in person.Maybe it wasn’t a realistic expectation.He was busy. I knew that.His schedule was probably packed from morning until night.Still, I couldn’t help hoping.As I followed the crew member outside, my eyes immediately searched the area.The entrance.The parking lot.The nearby cars.Anywhere.But he wasn’t there.The disappointment hit harder than it should have.My shoulders slumped before I could stop them.“So he really didn’t come…”I hadn’t meant to say it out loud, but apparently I had.Isolde, who had been standing nearby, immediately caught the disappoint
Even though five years had passed, my appearance still looked as young as before, and that was one of the advantages of being a werewolf. We weren’t immortal, but our aging process was three times slower than humans. That was why werewolf celebrities tended to have longer careers compared to ordin
As two weeks passed, I finally had to attend the hearing. I hadn’t expected Zephyr to come with me because of his busy schedule, but he decided to drop all his workload for one day to accompany me."You really don’t have to do this." I lowered my head and looked at my shoes on the ground. "Mr. Laws
I was so tired that I accidentally fell asleep in Zephyr’s arms. The worst part? He didn’t even wake me up or carry me to his bedroom. When I finally woke up, it was already a new day. I rubbed my temple as I slowly opened my eyes, feeling slightly dizzy from sleeping too long. The unfamiliar
Eleanor’s words hit like cold water being poured over Zephyr’s head. She sneered at him—and at me—her gaze filled with disgust. I tightened my grip on the chair. I had expected this. From the Lloyd family. From the Silver Claw Pack. But that didn’t mean I could accept being painted as some wi
