Everything had gone smoothly at Jaxon’s birthday party. The table was laden with multiple cakes, ice cream, juice, wine, rice, and a colorful array of dishes that filled the room with enticing aromas. Laughter and chatter blended with the clinking of glasses as they enjoyed the celebration, each person savoring the moment.

But as the night deepened, exhaustion settled over them like a warm blanket. None of the tension or lingering feelings between Andrea and Jaxon surfaced—they were simply too tired. After the last slice of cake was eaten and the final sip of wine drained, everyone drifted off into a deep, peaceful sleep.

The next day dawned cool and crisp, the sunlight filtering softly through the windows. Andrea was the first to arrive at school, determined not to wait for anyone else. She needed to leave early for a morning appointment with Elizabeth and wanted to avoid any questions or suspicion from the other boys. This was the reason she’d come earlier than usual, the weight of

    The kitchen was filled with the hum of laughter and the faint scent of seafood simmering in the pan. Andrea sat perched awkwardly atop one of the kitchen cupboards, trying to stay out of the way but still wanting to be part of the celebration. The room was cozy but cramped, and the energy was a mix of nervousness and excitement.Suddenly, the peace shattered. Jack’s voice cut sharply through the air. “Are you guys crazy?” he shouted, eyes wide and incredulous as he looked at Andrea and Rick.The two froze, caught off guard. Andrea’s heart jumped. She didn’t know whether to feel embarrassed or angry. She scrambled down from the cupboard as if to escape Jack’s judgment.Jack shook his head, half amused but mostly exasperated. “I mean, seriously—what the hell is going on here?” His voice had that edge of disbelief only a close friend could afford to use without causing permanent damage.Andrea, cheeks flushed, stood up straighter, trying to appear composed. But Jack wasn’t done.“So, thi

    Recently, Andrea had been feeling an unfamiliar lightness in her chest, a happiness that surprised her. It wasn’t the kind of forced smile she sometimes practiced in front of mirrors or the fleeting moments of distraction she’d allowed herself. No, this was different. Genuine. Yet, amid this rising joy, a persistent echo haunted her—the words her father had once spoken, sharp and insistent like a knock on a locked door.“You need to kill the Alpha with the key-shaped pendant.”Those words returned to her mind like shadows at dusk, lingering despite her efforts to push them away. She didn’t want to think about the three boys surrounding her—Rick, Jaxon, and Jack. She wasn’t attached to any of them, or at least, she told herself she wasn’t. But with Jaxon, it was different. He was the father of her children, and every time she was near him, memories stirred that she tried desperately to suppress.Every laugh he shared, every smile he flashed her, made her heart betray her. She caught he

    The morning sunlight slipped softly through the thin curtains, casting pale lines across the bedroom. Andrea’s eyelids fluttered open, but the familiar warmth beside her was gone. For a brief moment, she lay still, trying to remember where she was, what had happened the night before. The quiet emptiness next to her was jarring.Her fingers brushed over the cold sheet and then she remembered—the key, the fight, the kiss, the confession. But now, Jaxon wasn’t there. Probably downstairs, having breakfast or maybe trying to make sense of the whirlwind that had become their lives.Slowly, she sat up, the creak of the bed echoing softly in the room. Her mind was a fog, thoughts drifting in and out, tangled and confusing. She dressed quickly, tugging on her uniform with shaking hands, the familiar fabric grounding her in the moment. There was no time to dwell on the night before—not with school waiting and the others already moving forward.Downstairs, the kitchen was quiet when she joined t

    Jaxon sat heavily on his bed, the weight of the day pressing down on him. He’d only just gotten home, after the tense encounter in the equipment room. His mind churned restlessly, every thought tangled around Andrea — or the boy he now realized was more than just a boy.Everything about Andrea reminded him of Elena, every single detail pulling him back to the woman he once loved and lost. The taste of his lips after a kiss—sweet, like moist strawberry; the way Andrea’s hands felt soft and sure when they touched him; even the faint fragrance that clung to her skin stirred memories of Elena. It was as if Andrea carried Elena’s ghost in every breath.Jaxon’s heart clenched painfully. Was Rick going to do anything to hurt him? The worry gnawed at him.With a sudden resolve, Jaxon stood and headed out. He needed answers. He found himself outside Rick’s apartment and knocked firmly. “Rick?” His voice was low, hopeful. There was no answer.He tried the handle—it opened.Inside, Jaxon’s gaze

    Rick didn’t say a word as he dragged Andrea out of the room. His grip on her wrist was tight—not painful yet, but firm enough to make her stumble as she struggled to match his long strides. The hallway was eerily silent, the only sounds echoing through it were their footsteps and Andrea’s faint pleas.“Rick, please,” Andrea said, her voice quivering. “Stop. Just let me talk to you.”But Rick kept moving, jaw clenched, eyes focused ahead. There was a glassy sheen in them, a quiet betrayal hiding beneath his thick lashes. He didn’t trust himself to speak—if he did, it might come out as a scream. So instead, he walked faster.They reached the school’s back parking lot. The air was cool and damp, clouds overhead threatening rain. He opened the car door with one hand while the other still held her.“Rick—please,” Andrea tried again, her voice breaking this time. “Stop. I want to talk to you.”That was when Rick finally halted, his shoulders visibly rising and falling with each breath. Slow
