The corridor upstairs was quieter, the noise from the hall below fading into a dull hum. The lights were softer here, the air cooler, but none of it eased the knot sitting in my chest.

I guided Alice into one of the guest rooms, closing the door gently behind us. She sank onto the edge of the bed, rubbing her temples.

“You disappeared,” she said softly, looking up at me. “I was worried.”

“I know,” I replied, guilt pressing heavy on my shoulders. “I’m sorry.”

She studied my face for a mome

    ~ Iris The moment the door to our room shut behind us, the tension snapped.Not cracked.Snapped.Duncan didn’t even give me time to breathe before he turned on me, his eyes dark, jaw tight, chest rising and falling like he was barely holding himself together.“You didn’t tell me he was staying this long.”His voice wasn’t loud at first,but it carried weight.Danger.I blinked, caught off guard by the sharpness in it.“I told you he was here,” I replied, trying to keep my tone steady. “You didn’t exactly give me time to explain every detail before hanging up.”“That’s not the same thing, Iris.”His voice rose now.“You made it sound like he just showed up, not like he moved in and started taking over my house.”“Our house,” I corrected immediately.That made his eyes flash.“Don’t do that,” he warned.“Then don’t act like I invited him,” I shot back. “He walke

    ~Duncan The moment my phone rang, I knew something was wrong.Not the usual kind of wrong.Not territory disputes or minor council disagreements.No.This felt… heavier.I glanced at the screen, jaw tightening when I saw the name.Elder Varis.I answered immediately.“Speak.”There was no greeting,.no delay. Just silence for a second… then…“You need to come back.”My grip on the phone tightened.“Why? I haven't finished the task here.”A pause.Then…“ you haven't been told? He’s here.”I didn’t need clarification.Didn’t need explanation.Because there was only one he that could make Varis sound like that. And iris had called me days ago.My chest tightened. “…Kael.”“Yes.”The word landed like a weight.I looked out the window of the car, the passing trees blurring into nothing as my thoughts sharpened.

    ~Iris The council chamber felt suffocating,Not because of the heat,Not because of the candles flickering too brightly against the stone walls.But because everything lately…Everything felt like it was slipping just slightly out of my control.I stood at the head of the table well, beside it technically,papers laid out, voices overlapping, elders speaking one after another about territories, alliances, and minor disputes that suddenly felt so… irrelevant.Because none of this was the real problem.The real problem had a name.And he was currently somewhere in this house.Breathing.Walking.Existing.Annoying me.“You’re not listening, Luna,” one of the elders said carefully.I blinked, pulling myself back. “I am.”Mira, standing slightly behind me, leaned in just enough to whisper, “You’re thinking about him.”I didn’t even look at her. “Be quiet.”

    ~Kael Three days.Three days in this house and I already understood one thing very clearly…Nothing here was simple.Especially not her.I leaned against the doorway of the kitchen, arms folded, watching them before either of them noticed me.Iris Rivera stood by the counter, hair slightly messy like she hadn’t slept properly. There were faint shadows under her eyes, but she still carried herself like a queen.Composed,Controlled and Dangerous.And then there was Mira Calder,laughing, relaxed, like none of this chaos bothered her.Interesting.Very interesting.“I barely slept,” Iris was saying, frustration lacing her voice. “Because Kael keeps throwing these late-night parties.”I smirked slightly.So she noticed. Good.Mira laughed,Of course she did.“Why are you laughing?” Iris snapped.“Because,” Mira said, still amused, “he has no friends here. He’s doing it i

    ~Iris povIt had been three days.Three very long, very exhausting days.And Duncan still wasn’t back.I had honestly thought,hoped,that the moment I told him his first son had shown up and was already causing problems, he would drop everything and return immediately.But no.Of course not.So here I was.Stuck.In the same house,With a man who walked like he owned the place, talked like he feared nothing, and looked at me like I was both his enemy and… something else I didn’t want to think about.I sighed as I stepped into the kitchen, the faint smell of toast and coffee wrapping around me.Mira was already there,Of course she was.She stood by the counter, casually flipping toast like she didn’t have a care in the world.“Good morning, Luna,” she said, handing me a cup of coffee.“Hey, Mira,” I replied, taking it. “What are you doing here? You slept over?”

    ~kael.I didn’t slam the door.I wanted to.But I didn’t.Instead, I closed it slowly behind me, the quiet click echoing louder than any noise I could have made.Control.That’s what Eunice taught me.Control before chaos. Always.Still…My jaw tightened as I walked down the hallway, my hands flexing slightly at my sides.I could still feel it.Her.The heat of her skin when I pinned her to the wall. The defiance in her eyes when she should have been afraid. The way she stood there after I threw her,like it didn’t matter.Like I didn’t matter.I let out a low breath, dragging a hand through my hair.“That woman…” I muttered under my breath.She wasn’t what I expected.Not even close.I thought I’d walk in, see someone soft. Manipulative. Maybe even desperate to hold onto power.Instead?I got… that.Someone

    ~AliceFor the umpteenth time, I called her name, but Iris just kept drinking from the glass she’d taken from the kitchen, eyes fixed on the window like I wasn’t even there.“Iris, please look at me,” I said, the words scraping out of my throat, raw and aching.She set the glass down with a soft cl

    ~AliceWhy the hell was Iris’s phone with him?My hand started shaking so badly I nearly dropped the phone.My father didn’t even like omegas. He’d never shown interest in anyone after Mom died. And Iris… Iris was mine. She’d always been mine.But the way he’d said “she’s not available”… like he ha

    ~AliceEvery time I closed my eyes, I saw Iris's face, the shock, the tears, the way she’d slapped me so hard my ears rang.I had to find her. Explain. Beg. Anything.I grabbed my keys and drove straight to Eunice’s private residence on the edge of campus, the sleek modern house my dad let her use

But it doesn’t matter.Sandra stayed on her knees for a second longer, intentionally licking Alice’s release from her fingers like my standing th
