I should have gone to sleep. I should have slipped away and gone somewhere quiet to rest my head. But how could I?

I ended up staying up most of the night. I couldn’t sleep if I wanted to. Sleep required silence, and silence meant listening to my own thoughts. Regret, doubt, shame...they were louder than any howling wind. They twisted every memory, pulled apart every word I’d said or not said, every glance Levi had given me—or hadn’t.

The sky was still a soft purple when I gave up and left the pack house. My steps were automatic, my body on autopilot as I wandered toward the training grounds. No one else was there yet, just the scent of ash still lingering in the air and the faint drag marks in the dirt where bodies had once been.

The thought of even having a training session sounded demented in my head. But when Julian had given the announcement that activities were to commence, I’d nodded in agreement. I understood that he wanted life to go on, to prevent people from dwelling on the

  • Mating The Half She-Wolf   CHAPTER 89.

    I tried to keep my head down the next two days. I honestly thought if I just stayed out of everyone’s way, the drama would die down on its own. But I should’ve known better. Hartville High thrived on drama, and I had walked back in oozing with mystery.Where had I been and why was I back? Everyone wanted to know, and not everyone was pleased.Every hallway felt like a stage where I was the unwilling lead, dodging glances, whispers, and not so subtle sneers. People I used to sit with now looked past me like I was a ghost. Some did worse, snickering as I passed, making sure their words were just loud enough.But I didn’t react. Not to any of it.I sat in the back of every class, answered only when called, and avoided eye contact. I did my homework. I kept my voice low. I did everything short of vanishing into thin air. And still, it wasn’t enough.Ella had made it her personal mission to break me.It started with small, nasty comments every time I walked by her, bumping into me in the h

    My first mistake was thinking I could get everything back to the way it used to be.I started the morning excited, energetic, and all so ready to crush my first day back to Hartville high. Standing in front of the mirror, tracing the hem of my new dress—the fitting as if it had been made specially just for me. Dark green, hugging my curves just right, and golden accents that made my eyes look like they held stars. My hair fell in soft curls over my shoulders, and my lips were tinted in a neutral pink gloss.Breakfast had been quick. I barely ate, too anxious of what the day might bring and internally planning to capture back the hearts of Shawn and Ella. I also made a mental note to speak with Shawn and address our current relationship dynamics.Of course, I was going to let him know I wanted to be just friends. My heart couldn’t take anymore strain.The moment I crossed the threshold of our front door and into the sunlight, it all became too real, almost hectic. The air was too loud,

    I stood in a field of stars.There was no ground beneath my feet, yet I wasn’t falling. Just floating in a velvet sea of light and space, suspended by something I couldn’t name. The stars pulsed gently, alive, a heartbeat echoing in the silence.And then I saw him.The mysterious boy from my dreams. The one I could never fully remember once I woke up. His face blurred at the edges, but somehow familiar, like a name on the tip of my tongue.He stood at the center of it all, bathed in starlight, his eyes a vivid silver that shimmered when they found mine. He looked wrecked. Like he’d been crying for hours, but hadn’t let a single tear fall."Please," he whispered, stepping toward me. “Don’t let me go.”My chest tightened. “I still don’t know who you are.”He ignored the statement, or maybe it just didn’t matter.“You promised me, Astra,” he said. His voice trembled like something fragile. “You said you’d never forget me. You said we were forever.”My throat closed up, the stars around u

    The scent of coffee drifted through the air before the sun even climbed fully over the treetops. I turned over beneath the covers, the warmth of my childhood bed both comforting and suffocating. I hadn’t meant to fall asleep in my clothes, but exhaustion had pulled me under too quickly for pajamas or brushing my teeth.My muscles ached—not from training this time, but from emotional fatigue. A different kind of pain.When I finally pushed myself out of bed, my reflection startled me. My hair was tangled, my eyes puffy, and my skin pale. I looked like I’d walked out of a storm, and maybe I had. Not a storm made of wind and rain, but of confusion, regret, and every bottled-up emotion I’d buried in Moondew.Downstairs, the house was alive in the quiet way only my mother knew how to orchestrate—radio playing soft music, a plate already stacked with pancakes as she made some more, sunlight slanting in through the lace curtains.“Morning,” she said, not turning as I walked in. “Have some co

    The open road was all I had to keep me company. No music. No calls. Just the low, steady whine of the highway beneath me. The signs passed by like ghosts—quiet and unnoticed. One pointed toward Philadelphia, another toward New York. None of them mattered. I just kept driving north.Delaware faded into the rearview mirror before I could think too hard about it. I'd never realized how empty the world could feel until I left Moondew. Maybe it was the pack bond. The energy. The heartbeat of something bigger than me pulsing around me at all times. Now? It was just me.And the ache.I kept my eyes on the road, but my thoughts kept slipping sideways, drifting back to Levi’s face. The way his voice cracked when he snapped. The way I did too. There was no winner in that fight. Only a girl and a boy who thought they could have it all.Sometimes I caught myself reaching for my phone, itching to text Valerie or Jerry, but I stopped every time. I couldn't cling to comfort just because I was scared

    The walls felt like they were closing in. I walked in and out of the kitchen, then down the hall in a fog. No tears. No words. Just the quiet numbness that came after something had completely fallen apart.Back in my room, the scent of my shampoo, the pile of folded laundry, the cracked photo frame on my nightstand—it all felt too loud, too full of memories I didn’t want anymore. I knelt by my bed and pulled out the box I’d used when I first arrived here. That day, I’d come with nothing but hope and a change of clothes.Now I was leaving with even less.I wasn’t sure how long I’d been sitting on the edge of my bed when the door creaked open. Valerie slipped in quietly, her presence like a warm breath in winter."Why are you packing?" she asked softly, her eyes falling on the half-zipped bag.I didn’t stop. My hands just kept moving, folding the same hoodie three times over.She crossed the room and sat beside me, placing her hands on mine to make me pause. “What’s going on, Astra? You
