تسجيل الدخول~ IRIS The moment Rowan and Kael stopped fighting…It didn’t feel like peace.It felt like a pause before something worse.Both of them were still breathing hard, still staring at each other like the argument wasn’t finished,it was just interrupted.And honestly… I didn’t know which one of them scared me more when they got quiet.Kael wiped blood from the corner of his mouth, eyes still sharp even in pain.Rowan stood a few steps away, chest rising slowly, like he was forcing himself not to continue.I was surprised at Rowan's behavior, this wasn't my son. He wasn't the reckless one.The tension between them wasn’t gone, It was just buried under silence.I stayed beside Kael without thinking.That alone annoyed me.But I didn’t move.Because he was still standing, still stubbornly pretending he wasn’t hurt.“You’re enjoying this too much,” I muttered at him.He gave a weak smirk
Rowan The hall felt tense the moment I stepped into the center.The council stood around us, pretending this was still a discussion and not a decision waiting to happen. At the center was the prophecy table, old and stubborn, just like the traditions they kept hiding behind.And then there was Kael, leaning at the back like none of this concerned him.That alone irritated me.Because this did concern himIt concerned all of us.Varis started talking and all that, before he said “The next Alpha must be chosen.”Kael stepped forward immediately.“I am the first son. I should lead.”When they asked him why, his answer was predictable.“I’m older.”That was it.I didn’t bother waiting,when he turned the question to me, I answered without hesitation.“I’m responsible.”And just like that,he twisted it.“Responsible? You mean obedient.”Typical Kael.Always turning structu
~ KAEL The hall felt different this time, everywhere was so quiet, Like the walls themselves knew what kind of decision was about to be made.Council members lined the sides, Warriors stood behind them. Leaders, Alphas,Voices that used to argue separately are now forced into one room.And at the center of it all…The prophecy table.Old stone. Black markings. Words that never changed, no matter how many times people tried to reinterpret them.I hated it already.I leaned slightly against the pillar at the back, arms crossed, Watching.Not participating yet.Rowan stood closer to the center, of course he did.I rolled my eyes, Always the “responsible one.”Always the one trying to look like he carried the world on his shoulders without breaking.It annoyed me more than I expected.Someone at the front cleared his throat. “Given recent events,” Varis said carefully, “the prophecy alignment is
~KaelThe music was too loud,or maybe my head was just too full.Alice was laughing beside me, glass in her hand, already on her second or third. I’d lost count. Lights flashing, bodies moving, people shouting over nothing.Normal people stuff, I didn’t belong here.“You’re thinking again,” Alice said, nudging me with her shoulder.“I’m always thinking.”“That’s your problem brother.”I scoffed lightly and took another drink. It burned going down, but not enough. Never enough.Alice leaned against the bar, watching me instead of the crowd. “You know you don’t have to go tonight.”I knew what she meant, the meeting, the house, them.“I do,” I said simply.She sighed. “You always feel like you have to prove something.”I didn’t answer that, because she wasn’t wrong.I just didn’t want her saying it out loud.A few minutes passed in silence. Then she slid
~IrisOne month laterEverything had changed, The house wasn’t filled with tension anymore. No shouting, No doors slamming, No constant feeling that something, or someone, was about to snap.Everyone stayed in their own space.Even Kael and Duncan.They didn’t argue anymore, but they didn’t speak either. And somehow, I knew Duncan's talk didn't really go well .His pride must have come through, and he didn't even tell me how it went?So that's Why on the other side of me and Duncan life we weren't on speaking terms like that. It wasn't like before. And he didn’t try to reach me.Part of me was grateful for that,the other part… hated it more than I wanted to admit.Because I didn’t know how to reach him either.And for once, I let it be that way.My son had changed too, he cares so much for the title. And that bothered me, cause it was getting way into his brain.Strangely… Alice
~duncan One month later Everything had changed, everywhere was calm and normal. No fights, everyone was minding their business. Kael and I no longer argued, and at the same time we also no longer spoke. And somehow, that silence hurt worse than conflict. Iris and I were no closer either, it wasn't worse and the same time it wasnt better. Just… stuck in something unresolved, like a sentence left unfinished. She didn’t push me. And I didn’t know how to reach her anymore. It was unlike me, but I just have to let her go. If she wants to be alone, then so be it. Rowan had become increasingly focused on the post on strength, on structure,on the White Wolf lineage, on being Alpha. And that worried me more than I admitted. Because when Rowan focused too much…It usually meant he was preparing for something no on
~Alpha Duncan I ended the call and stared at my phone for a long moment before setting it down.Eunice was angry. I could hear it beneath her carefully chosen words. Good. Let her be. Anger made people careless and Eunice was dangerous only when she felt in control.I remember when we were little,
~AliceI swallowed hard, the words sticking in my throat like glass shards.Iris stood there, arms crossed loosely, waiting for whatever I had to say.I stared at my plate, fork pushing noodles around in circles.“I don’t have a good excuse,” I said finally, voice barely above a whisper. “There isn
~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
~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
