LOGINMelissa.I felt like I was trapped inside a dream—A beautiful, impossible dream, and yet, I wasn't dreaming.Everything around me was real. The warmth in my chest was real. The way my heart refused to settle down was real. The nervous flutter in my stomach was painfully real.I was excited.So incredibly excited.But at the same time, I couldn't stop being cautious. Maybe that was why I couldn't immediately give Louis the answer he wanted.Maddy was still around.And judging from the stunt she had pulled earlier, there was no way she didn't have feelings for Louis.That alone was enough to make me wary.Then there was the mate bond.That dangerous, confusing, frustrating bond.I knew better than anyone how powerful it could be.My wolf certainly did.The silly creature still reacted shamelessly whenever the triplets were around. It didn't matter how much my mind protested. It didn't matter how many reasons I gave myself to stay guarded.The moment they appeared, my wolf would become r
Caleb.I was feeling restless for absolutely no reason at all.It didn’t make sense.Nothing around me had changed, nothing had happened recently, and yet my wolf kept reacting in ways I couldn’t explain. It was as if something inside me had been unsettled—shifted out of place—and no matter how much I tried to ignore it, the feeling only grew stronger.There was a strange loneliness sitting deep in my chest, heavy and uncomfortable.And underneath it, a lingering fear I couldn’t quite name.It felt like I was on the edge of losing something important…something I didn’t even fully realize I was holding onto until now.At first, I convinced myself it was because of what happened earlier—Melissa attempting to reject us.But even that explanation didn’t sit right anymore, because that moment had already passed.It had happened, and it should have stopped affecting me by now, yet here I was…still uneasy and still restless.“What’s going on with me?” I muttered under my breath as I began pa
Louis.The moment she said she understood, something inside me finally snapped.I lost it completely.I couldn’t keep pretending I felt nothing anymore—not when everything I had been holding back was already standing right in front of her.So I stopped holding it in, and I chose to speak, to be honest and to lay everything bare.Because if I got rejected, then so be it—I wouldn’t walk away. I wouldn’t stop. I would just keep trying.I would keep showing up, and keep proving myself.Keep proving my love for her through every action, every word, every moment until she could no longer ignore the sincerity behind it.Until she saw me.Until she accepted me.I remained on my knees, still looking up at her, waiting for her response as if it held the key to everything that came next.The moon goddess had given me a second chance—I knew that much and I refused to waste it.I would cherish it…even if it meant waiting for as long as it took.But Melissa remained completely silent.And at first,
Melissa. The moment Cypril left the room in visible annoyance, I stood there for a brief second, my eyes following him until he disappeared completely from sight.And in that moment, something inside me shifted.I thought it would be wiser and safer even to leave as well.I didn’t want to stay behind and hear anything else from Louis. Not when my emotions were already tangled and fragile. I especially didn’t want to hear any heart-breaking words that I might not be able to recover from later.So I moved quickly.I hurried toward the door, my hand already reaching for the handle, my mind focused only on escape.But I barely made it out.“Melissa, please wait!” Louis’ voice echoed firmly from behind me, sharp enough to stop me mid-step.I froze instantly.My foot hovered slightly above the ground before slowly settling back down.For a second, I just stood there, unmoving.My fingers curled tightly into my palms as I clenched my hands, trying desperately to steady myself, to keep my br
Fredrick.My wolf surged forward with excitement, practically clawing at the edges of my mind.The mere thought of seeing Ann was enough to send him into a frenzy—It was ridiculous because I had never reacted this way to anyone before.Not even Amelia had managed to stir this kind of reaction from me.Which was exactly why none of this made any sense.And before you start getting the wrong idea, let me make something clear—I couldn't possibly be looking forward to seeing my sister this much.That would be completely absurd.Yet my wolf seemed determined to prove otherwise.He paced restlessly inside me, impatient and eager, pushing me to move faster as if every second spent away from her was torture.I ignored him.Or at least, I tried to.Shaking my head, I increased my pace and continued down the hallway and that was when I noticed Cyril stepping out of Louis's room.Immediately, my steps slowed.Something about him seemed...off.His shoulders were tense, his expression unusually gr
Fredrick.I was everything but fine.No matter how much I tried to convince myself otherwise, the truth remained painfully obvious. I was restless, unsettled in a way I had never experienced before, and surprisingly…sad.All because my mate didn’t want to talk to me.The realization alone was enough to leave a bitter feeling in my chest. It made no sense how deeply it affected me, yet it did. Every second of her silence felt heavier than it should have.Wasn’t I more than the right person she could actually confide in?The thought lingered stubbornly in my mind, refusing to leave no matter how hard I tried to push it away. I wanted her to trust me. I wanted her to stop carrying everything alone and simply lean on me for once.I wanted to take the burden away from her.And yet, selfishly, a part of me just wanted to be around her.Just seeing her was somehow enough to calm the chaos in my head, even if only slightly. Hearing her voice, watching her expressions, feeling her presence nea
Melissa.They said the words with every ounce of force they could summon, as though speaking them aloud was an act of violence in itself. The declaration echoed through the hall, heavy and final, sealing something I had never wanted sealed.And then we reached that part.The part everyone waited fo
Melissa.“Alpha Cain!” I managed to cry out, my voice breaking as desperation clawed at my throat. “Please… don’t do this. I swear I won’t run away anymore. Please!”Cain slowly turned to face me, his lips curving into a sly, knowing smirk that sent a chill straight down my spine. His eyes held no
Melissa.I opened my eyes slowly, my lashes heavy, my body stiff, and the first thing that greeted me was the weight in my chest. It pressed down on me before I was fully awake, as if my heart remembered what my mind was still trying to escape.The day I dreaded the most was finally here.Light fil
Melissa.The sharp crack split the air the moment I stepped into the perimeter of the dungeon, and I knew that sound too well. It was the unmistakable snap of a whip slicing through space before meeting flesh. My breath hitched instantly, my feet slowing on instinct as dread crawled up my spine.I
