*First Person POV - Thessara*

The supply room was quiet. It was too quiet, I had no choice but to count the IV bags. For the third time, my hands? They wouldn't stop, they kept on shaking.

The late shift. Meant fewer people. Around. Fewer eyes. Watching me. Pretend. To be Claire.

But the silence. Made everything. Worse. I could hear. Every heartbeat. In the building. Every whisper. Of fear.

The door opened. Behind me. I didn't need it. To turn around. I knew. His scent. Pine and winter. And something. Darker.

"Working late?" Kieran's voice. Filled the small space. Made it. Feel smaller.

"Someone has to." I kept counting. Bags. Didn't look. At him.

His footsteps. Came closer. The room. It was too small. For both of us. Too close. Too dangerous.

"Look at me," he said. Soft. But it wasn't. A request.

I turned. Slow. His black eyes. We're normal now. Brown. Humans. But I knew. What I'd seen. Earlier.

The moment. Our eyes met. Something hit me. Like lightning. Like fire. Like the world. S

  • My Human Husband, Shades of You    The Moon Shard

    Thessara's POVThe battle raged with primal fury. My spirit pack tore into Asher's corrupted wolves with savage efficiency, ancient warriors against demon-twisted abominations. Silver light and red corruption clashed in the clearing, the sacred ground amplifying every strike.But Asher himself had vanished the moment my pack materialized, retreating into the forest shadows. Smart. He knew he couldn't face twenty Dragonwolf warriors, not even with his demon enhancements."He's running," Kieran said, back in human form beside me. "Regrouping.""Let him run." I watched my spirit pack destroy the last corrupted wolves. "We bought ourselves time."Marcus knelt beside Claire's unconscious form, checking her pulse. "She's alive. Barely. I need medical attention.""No hospitals." July's voice came from the clearing's edge. She emerged from the trees, dirty and scratched but alive. "They'll ask questions we can't answer. I know somewhere better."I pulled her into a quick hug. "You're supposed

  • My Human Husband, Shades of You    The Spirit’s Memory

    Thessara's POVThe ancient spirit wearing Claire's body moved like nothing human should. She dodged Asher's counterattack with fluid grace, hospital gown flaring as she spun and struck with Claire's small fists—but the impact sent Asher stumbling backward. Dragonwolf strength channeled through a human frame."Impossible," Asher snarled, recovering. "I killed you myself. Watched you die. I watched all of them die.""You killed my body," the spirit said, circling him with predator focus. "But bonds forged in moonlight and blood don't break with death. They wait. They endure. And when the Alpha calls—" She glanced at me, silver light flickering in Claire's brown eyes. "—we answer."Marcus threw one of his silver knives at a corrupted wolf lunging for Kieran. It buried itself in the creature's shoulder, making it howl and stumble. "We need to get out of here," Marcus shouted over the chaos. "More of them are coming. I counted at least ten outside.""We can't leave Rowan," I said desperate

  • My Human Husband, Shades of You    The Attack

    Thessara's POVAsher's voice echoed from upstairs, smooth and mocking. "Hello, Thessara. I hope you don't mind—I let myself in."Complete darkness surrounded us in the basement. July's fingers dug into my arm, her breathing fast and panicked. Rowan moved close, her voice barely a whisper. "He broke through words that should've stopped anyone. He's much stronger than I calculated."Multiple footsteps crossed the floor above us. Heavy boots. At least four, maybe five. Asher hadn't come alone. He'd brought his corrupted pack, the wolves whose eyes burned red with demon influence, whose humanity had been stripped away and replaced with something twisted and wrong."I know you're down there," Asher called, voice dripping with false warmth. "You and the witch and the poor girl who just wants her mommy back. How touching." His footsteps moved across the ceiling, floorboards creaking. "Did you really think those pathetic protection sigils would keep me out? I've been planning this for years,

  • My Human Husband, Shades of You    The Blood Connection

    Thessara's POVJuly stumbled down the basement stairs, phone clutched in her shaking hand. Her face was ghost-white, eyes red-rimmed like she'd been crying. She thrust the phone toward me, showing a sketch she'd obviously drawn the moment she woke up—rough, desperate lines that somehow conveyed absolute terror."I made contact with my mom," July said, voice trembling. "The real one. She's trapped in this void, this gray empty space, but she can see things. Feel things through the spirit sharing her body. And she showed me something." She swiped to another sketch. "She showed me why Asher needs your blood specifically."Rowan moved closer, studying the drawings with sharp eyes. Kieran's hand found mine, squeezed tight. Marcus shifted from the corner, suddenly alert."Tell us everything," I said. "Exactly what she showed you."July took a shaky breath. "In the dream, I was in that void with her. She looked so tired, like she's been fighting to stay conscious for weeks. But when she saw

  • My Human Husband, Shades of You    Summoning the dead

    Thessara's POVI followed Kieran into the pack house, my mind still reeling from his words. Extinction. Our entire species was wiped out. Every supernatural being on Earth erased like we never existed. The weight of it pressed down on my chest, making it hard to breathe.In the basement, Rowan had transformed the space into something out of a nightmare. Her protective circle now covered almost the entire floor, complex sigils drawn in what looked like silver dust and ash. Candles burned at precise intervals, casting dancing shadows on the walls. Ancient texts lay open everywhere, pages marked with colored tabs, notes scribbled in margins. Marcus stood in the corner, arms crossed, face grim.Rowan looked up when we entered. Her face was drawn, exhausted, like she hadn't slept in days. Dark circles shadowed her eyes. "You heard," she said flatly."Kieran told me. Extinction." I could barely say the word. "Is there any way to stop it?""Yes." Rowan gestured to the chaos around her. "But

  • My Human Husband, Shades of You    July’s Coronation

    Thessara's POVJuly appeared at the veterinary clinic the next afternoon. I saw her through the window first—standing on the sidewalk, staring at the door like it might bite her. Her hands were shoved deep in her jacket pockets, shoulders hunched against the cold. She stood there for a full five minutes before she finally pushed through the door.The bell chimed. One look at her face told me everything. Red-rimmed eyes. Hair pulled back in a messy ponytail. Still wearing yesterday's jeans and hoodie. Dark circles under her eyes like bruises. She hadn't slept. Probably hadn't eaten either."I need to talk to you," she said without preamble. Her voice was steady, controlled, but I could hear the tremor underneath. "About what I saw yesterday. About my mom."I glanced at Sarah, my assistant, who was reorganizing the supply cabinet but clearly listening. "Sarah, take your lunch break early," I said quietly. She grabbed her bag and left without argument.I turned back to July. She was stil
