MasukKlaus POVI arrived at the club and headed straight for the VIP section.The music pounded through the walls, people laughed, danced, and drank, but I barely noticed any of it.I grabbed the nearest bottle and poured myself a drink.Then another.And another.It was the only way to quiet the chaos in my head.A few minutes later, Aaron, Ugo, and Tae-jun walked into the VIP lounge together.The moment I looked up, I knew this wasn't going to be a pleasant conversation.Their expressions were grim, their eyes fixed on me with a mixture of anger and concern.None of them bothered to sit."Klaus, what the hell?" Ugo demanded, breaking the silence. "What the fuck is going on with you? You're scaring everyone."I ignored him and lifted my glass. The whiskey burned my throat, but I welcomed it. It was the only thing that made my chest hurt a little less."Klaus." Aaron slammed his hand on the table. "Enough already. What the hell is wrong with you? You've been hiding for two damn weeks. Your
Klaus POVTwo weeks. That was how long I had locked myself away from the world.Two weeks without seeing Mira.Two weeks of hiding inside my room, hoping everything would somehow fix itself if I stayed out of sight. I kept telling myself that maybe if I waited long enough, this nightmare would disappear.It never did.Every morning I woke up with the same painful truth sitting on my chest.My father had taken Mira's parents away from her.Every night I went to bed knowing there was nothing I could do to change the past.No matter how many times I replayed everything in my head, the ending was always the same. Mira's parents were still dead. My father was still connected to it. And I was still his son.I couldn't fix any of it.That was the part that broke me the most.More than once I thought about calling her. I wanted to beg her to forgive me. I wanted to tell her I loved her and that none of this was her fault. I wanted to hear her voice just one more time.But how could I?How cou
Mira POVFor a long moment, neither of us spoke.The room was so quiet that I could hear my own breathing.My dad stared at me with wide eyes, while I stared right back at him. It felt like we were both afraid of what would come next.Finally, he swallowed hard."Where did you hear that?" he asked softly. "Of course I'm your father."I slowly shook my head."No, you're not." My voice cracked, but I forced myself to keep talking. "Please... stop lying to me. I really need the truth."His face fell."Honey, I'm telling you the truth. You're my daughter."I felt tears fill my eyes again."No, Dad. I'm not." I took a step closer to him. "And if you really love me, you have to tell me everything now. My life might be in danger."The color drained from his face."What do you mean?" he asked, panic filling his voice. "Mira... what are you talking about?""Please," I begged, grabbing both of his hands. "Tell me everything. Don't hide anything anymore. If you don't want me to lose myself... if
Mira POVThe old seer didn't look surprised when she saw my father and me walk into her small house.It was almost like she had been expecting us all day.She slowly looked up from the herbs she was sorting on the table. Her cloudy eyes rested on me, then moved to my father before settling back on me."Is it time?" she asked quietly.I swallowed the lump in my throat and nodded."Yes."She didn't ask another question.Instead, she stood up, brushed the dust from her long gray robe, and motioned for us to follow her into the room behind the house.The room was much darker than I remembered. Thick white candles stood in a wide circle on the floor. Strange symbols had been painted with white chalk around the circle, and small bowls filled with herbs sat at each point. The air smelled of burning sage, lavender, and something sweet I couldn't recognize.My father looked around curiously."This doesn't look like a hospital," he joked nervously.I forced a small smile, but my heart wasn't in
Mira POVTwo weeks had passed since the day I confronted Klaus outside his pack estate.Two long weeks.That was also the last time I saw him.Since that day, he hadn't called me.He hadn't texted me.He hadn't come looking for me.Not once.At first, I kept expecting my phone to ring. Every time it buzzed, my heart would jump before sinking again when I realized it wasn't him. After a few days, I stopped checking.I wasn't even sure what I wanted anymore.A part of me was hurt that he stayed away.Another part of me was relieved.How was I supposed to face him after everything I had learned?Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the documents Kevin had handed me.Then I saw Alpha Roman and Luna Katherine.Then I saw Klaus.Those three images refused to leave my mind.One week after we met outside the pack gate, Klaus had his Alpha coronation.I didn't go.There was no chance I could.Even if someone had dragged me there, I wouldn't have been able to stand beside him pretending everythin
Klaus POVThe whole world started spinning.The papers in my hands blurred until I could barely read the words anymore.My heartbeat thundered inside my ears.It was so loud that it drowned out everything else.It felt like my heart was trying to break out of my chest.I couldn't breathe.I couldn't think.I couldn't even lift my head."Why aren't you looking at me?"I heard Mira's voice.Broken.Shaking.Full of pain.I wanted to look at her.The problem was...I was terrified of what I would see in her eyes.I was terrified that the love I had always found there was already gone."Klaus... look at me."Her voice was softer this time.I still couldn't.My feet felt rooted to the ground."Klaus!"She screamed so loudly that I flinched."Fucking look me in the face!"Her voice cracked as she broke down crying again.I forced myself to raise my head.The moment our eyes met, my heart shattered.She looked completely broken.Her beautiful eyes were swollen from crying.Tears wouldn't sto
POV: MiraI did not sleep.Not even a little.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Klaus leaning close to me. Smirking. Teasing. Acting like he owned the air I breathe.I sat up in bed with a groan.“Stop thinking about him,” I muttered to myself.I rolled my eyes, took a shower, and got dressed.I c
Mira POV The walk back to my dorm felt longer than usual—not because it was far, but because I could still feel invisible eyes on me. The campus was quiet, washed in soft gold light, pretending nothing dramatic had happened. I kept my head down and hugged my bag to my chest.Chloe had floated off
Mira After Tina finished lecturing me about how I was making the worst mistake of my life by getting involved with Klaus, I felt like my ears were ringing.She didn’t yell.That was the scary part.Tina only got quiet when she was truly serious.“Klaus isn’t someone you play with,” she had said. “
