LOGINThe one Kai had taken from my bag.The one piece of home I still had.My chest tightened.I reached out slowly, brushing my fingers along its surface. The memory hit immediately, him handing it back to me, and lying to my face that he had bought it. I shook my head as a tear escaped my eyes.I swall
Aria.The phone rang longer than I expected.I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the floor, my fingers gripping the device a little too tightly as I waited. For a second, I thought he wouldn’t pick up. Maybe I had called at the wrong time.Then the line clicked.“Hello?”I let out a small breath
She was calling me.My thumb moved before I could think.I answered on the first ring.“Kai—” Her voice was soft and something warm rushed through me so suddenly it almost hurt more than the pain. My chest tightened again, but this time it wasn’t just agony—it was something else.Relief mixed with d
Kai.I woke up gasping for breath and for a second, I didn’t know where I was.The smell of blood hit me first, but this time, it wasn't from my memory of the past. This one was real and it was coming from me. It was thick with a metallic taste in the air and in my mouth and I turned to my side as i
I had forgotten his name but he stood in front of me now, his face was pale as if he was shocked to see me. Like he hadn’t expected me.For a moment, neither of us moved. Then I noticed it as he raised his hand to tuck something in his pocket. Blood. Both of his hands were bloody and my heart droppe

I raised a brow. “You want me to go to the lake with you? Where you could kill me and throw my body in there? No. Thanks.” He finally looked at me, smirking. “Come on, little omega. Trust me, if I wanted to kill you, I’d have done that a long time ago. Besides, I enjoy your company.” I shook my he
And then he was there again.My father.He didn’t kneel. He didn’t ask if I was alright. He didn’t so much as blink.“Tch,” he muttered coldly. “That’s what happens when you run.”I looked up at him, eyes wide and stinging with tears. I wanted him to reach for me. Just once. I wanted him to see me.
Aria. I stirred awake slowly, the weight of sleep still clinging to my limbs like a heavy blanket. My cheek was pressed against something warm, solid… Kai. His arms were around me, steady and calm, his breathing deep and even. I blinked at the ceiling for a moment, confused at how peaceful I felt.
