“It all feels like a bad dream. I still want to wake up and think it's all untrue, even though I know it's not. I try to avoid thinking about what happened and move on, but something holds me back, and I don't know what it is. I thought being away from everyone would help me forget, but... no matter how hard I try, the memory of that wild night lingers and doesn't want to fade away”.“You're lost in your thoughts again. Where are you now?”“When you arrived, Clara, I didn't think I'd see you for a long time. “I hugged my friend tightly, as I had missed her so much. It was impossible not to do so; she was my rock in these moments, even though she's crazy, she's the best friend in the world”.“A few minutes ago, don't worry, Terry brought me here and went back to work. He told me he'll return to the pack tonight. Are you okay with that, Ana?”“I have no rea
"I warned you, Henry will find you to the ends of the earth, even under the rocks, he won't stay still. His wolf will trace your wolf, and they will make you meet.""I know! I know! Don't make me more nervous; I know it was a stupid thing to do. I'm just confused; I don't know if I'll keep the... baby.""What? What do you mean you don't want the baby?""It's not that I don't want it; I don't know if I want it, which is different. I don't feel ready to be a mother; I don't want to make mistakes that cost me my freedom.""Mistakes? Freedom? I don't understand, Clara, and even though it hurts, I'll tell you that I'm very disappointed in you. I never thought this would come out of your mouth. The only thing I can say is... " I couldn't finish speaking because I fainted."Ana! Oh my God, Ana, talk to me, wake up!""What happened?" I looked at Ana lying unconscious
“Terry looked surprised; I never argued when he gave his opinion or said something. However, this time, I had to do it. I didn't want to wait until tomorrow; the uncertainty was killing me, and if our suspicions are true, I must decide for the sake of the baby. What do you know about the pack?”“The same as I told you. I don't contact anyone there to avoid raising suspicions. I rarely maintain close friendships with anyone, so it would be strange for me to reach out to check on the pack. The Alpha might be vigilant of my movements. The last time I was there, he was going crazy looking for you”."Me?" "For what?" I was only a result of his Rut and my flowering; he shouldn't even remember me, so stop saying things like that, Terry.“You two have a connection; you can't forget that, Ana. Maybe not feeling your wolf after the rejection, but he feels his wolf, and it must be tearing him apart inside for the stupid decision he made”.“I'm not to blame for that, Terry. He did what his heart
"You can't do that; it's putting me in danger! Do you understand that?"“Just like you, Clara, you don't think you're putting a life in danger”.“It's not a life; I consulted with a doctor, and he said it doesn't measure more than 2mm. It's not a life.”“It seems you haven't studied much. You're a professional, and you don't understand that after conception, even if it measures millimeters, it's already a life. Don't try to change my mind, Clara. We're leaving now, don't worry; it will only last a few months. After that, you can do whatever you want with your life”.*******“Don't be stubborn; wait until dawn. It's very late, and you need to rest.”“This time, I can't follow your advice, Terry. The anxiety is killing me; I must find out now and think about what I'm going to do. This will delay my goals and dreams a bit”.“Are you considering getting rid of the baby if it really exists inside you?”“Never. I may delay my dreams a bit, but I'm not heartless enough to kill such a defense
"It's been seven years since I left this town, and it seems like nothing has changed since I left.""Ana! You look beautiful, it's been so long since I last saw you, you ungrateful girl.""Likewise, Mrs. Morel. Still as beautiful as ever. And where's my nephew?""Today is his sixth birthday, his welcome to the pack, his initiation. So Henry took him while I picked you up. How was the trip?""Tiring. You know how they get when they're irritated. I wanted to throw them out of the plane, but they told me I couldn't open the hatch. So here we are, Clara, without a scratch.""Nobody told you to bring us along. We were fine in London, Mother. I don't know why we're in this little town.""Look at you. Don't you want to see your aunt? My town is so awful that you can't even visit me.""I endure this trip for you, Aunt. Where's Rommel? I want to see him.""We'll see him later. Let's go inside, and Doménica, where is she?""Don't worry, Clara. Take Estela inside. I don't want her to catch a col
"Finally, you're here. I was going crazy stuck in here.""I missed you too, Estela. I had to take care of some matters before coming.""Where's Chris? You're not going to tell me you left her alone.""No, darling, she came with me. She just went to visit her parents, and then she'll come to say hello to you both.""What do you mean, say hello? She won't stay?""My precious Doménica, how have you been feeling? Was the journey tough?""It wasn't Terry, the plane was well equipped, and there were no major issues.""I'm glad to hear that. Have you packed everything? We're leaving for California tonight.""Yes, everything is ready. I don't know why they decided to put us in a camp; I hate it, especially when they start bothering Doménica.""Don't worry about that, Estela. This camp is different because it's specialized for girls with different abilities.""Then I'll be the one receiving bullying, Terry. I can already imagine how it will be.""You have a very imaginative mind, Estela. This
Naomi shuddered at Andrews' words. She knew he had summoned her out of vengeance, but the way he treated her as if she had never meant anything to him was disheartening. Despite it all, Naomi couldn't help but feel a strong attraction to Andrews' wealth. Even in these circumstances, she couldn't forget her ambition."What do you want me to do?" Naomi asked, her voice soft, trying to appease Andrews' anger. "I'll do anything you ask; I won't spare any effort if it helps me get out of this wretched place.""You should know very well, Naomi. I want you to become an honorable beta and serve me faithfully. That's the only way you can redeem yourself. Now, more than ever, I need to confirm something, and you're the only one who can help me," Andrews replied.Naomi fell silent for a moment, considering Andrews' offer. She knew that becoming a... "spy" for the alpha was no game, and her life would be in danger. However, it was her lifeline to get out of this mess."You must tell me what you n
I had no idea what Naomi was thinking when she stood in front of me after so many years; she must have found out about everything Andrews did to me."For me, it's not a pleasant sight either, Naomi. Excuse me, I have things to do," I said, not hiding the contempt in my gaze.Her hateful look brought me a strange satisfaction. As I observed her closely, I noticed she didn't look well; she had dark circles under her eyes, and her hair was unkempt. It was as if she had been dressed up for the occasion."You're as arrogant as I remember, Anastasia, and that's why nobody liked you."I couldn't help but let out an ironic laugh at her comment. So much time had passed since Naomi and I exchanged words, but it seemed like the dynamics between us hadn't changed at all, despite the damage and the years."I'm sorry if my actions in the past made you feel that way, Naomi. I thought what your boyfriend did to me was enough; apparently, you need more," I replied."I come on behalf of our parents. Th
