PhoebeAfter everything that has happened, I have trouble falling asleep at night. I toss and turn in Liam’s bed, my mind plagued by nightmares and anxiety. No matter what I do, I can’t seem to relax. I wake up plenty of times, panting while scanning the darkness. It shocks me how Liam hasn’t woken up a single time from me twitching around. How isn’t he bothered by it?As I wake up for the billionth time, I glance down at Liam. He is sleeping soundly in the dark on his back without a single care in the world.“Phoebe...”My heart clenches when he mumbles my name - such a sweet guy. Would it be wrong to cuddle up to him? I want to, but I also know I have to decide between Adrian and Liam. I can’t lead them both on.‘But you need to learn the flavor of both of them before you can make a decision. Maybe seeing you with both guys will help the moon goddess too?’ Aurora helpfully asks. ‘It’s not a crime to touch Liam. You’re not exclusively dating Adrian OR Liam right now.’I hesitate. ‘Wh
Phoebe Liam is holding my hand while I call Adrian. The long empty beeps are excruciating, and when Adrian finally picks up his phone, my heart is beating so hard I’m afraid I might pass out. I’m so nervous to hear about what happened to my mom. Is she still alive, or did she...die? “Adrian,” I breathe. “It’s me.” He is silent for a little while before he chuckles in amusement. “I can tell.” Even though this is hardly the time, I smile a little before it falters the second I remember why I’m calling him. My heart clenches, and Liam gives me a hesitant smile before squeezing my hand reassuringly. “I’m here,” he whispers. “Just go on, ask Adrian what you need to ask him. Be brave.” I hand Liam a smile before blurting out the question that is weighing my mind, “Adrian, is my mom still alive, or did she die in my absence?” Adrian is silent for a long moment. It’s enough to make tears prickle behind my eyelids. I was gone for five years - of course, my mom is dead. There is no way—

Phoebe I look at the hydra with wary eyes, unsure if it can be defeated. I haven’t awakened yet, which means I won’t be much help here. Dang. Will Adrian’s powers be enough to kill this monster? He struggled to defeat it when it had one head - now it’s even more powerful. Maybe we should run and call it a day just so that we don’t die? I look at Adrian, blinking when I see him step in front of me as if wishing to protect me with his own life. “You should get away from here,” he says, peering down at me over his shoulder. “Run to the middle of the island. I plan on unleashing my powers, but there is no telling what will happen after I’ve done that. I sometimes lose...control.” My eyes widen. “You what? You can’t do that if you lose control! What does that even mean?!” His lips twitch in amusement. I get the feeling that whatever is going to come out of his mouth will be a lie. He has a sort of mischievous look to him. “It means that I’ve accidentally killed pack members before,” he
PhoebeAdrian and I decided to spend the night on this island, even if things turned a bit heavy after he said he basically didn’t deserve me. I didn’t know what to say, but Adrian seemed to sense my reluctance to leave, so he called the jet ski company - it’s okay to return the vehicle tomorrow. For that, I’m eternally grateful, but this night didn’t turn out to be as romantic as I had hoped.Even though I’m lying beside Adrian, it feels like we are miles apart. It saddens me. He used to be my best friend, and now it feels like we just go on each other’s nerves.Could it be that we have grown apart?I sit up to watch him, mesmerized by his beauty. The pale moonlight casts a light blue glow over his perfect skin, and his long eyelashes fall over his high cheekbones to make him look even more like an otherwordly elf or something else inhumanely beautiful.“You’re staring at me...” He mutters, and I immediately turn away, embarrassed for being caught checking him out.“Y-yeah...I was ju
Phoebe I still can’t believe that I’m on a date with Alpha Adrian - it feels so surreal. The sun is hot on my skin as I ride the jet ski with him. The waves crash against us as we speed along the coastline, and I cling to Adrian’s strong torso, trying to focus on the salty air and the beauty of the scenery. But it’s hard. Even through the fabric of his shirt, I can feel the rippling of his abs beneath my arms. Adrian barely speaks, but when he does, it’s something about how beautiful it is outside. I can’t help but agree and look around at the majestic view, but in my head, all I can think about is how sexy he looks. He’s mysterious and sexy but also reserved. We ride for what feels like forever until we spot a tiny island in the distance. Adrian slows down and navigates us toward it. I can feel my pulse quicken as we get closer. I’m not sure why, but I’m excited to take this break with him. Adrian parks the jetski on the beach and gets off with a smirk. I can’t help but stare at
