VENUS

Finally, he caps the tube and sets it aside. “There,” he mutters, looking at her feet and giving it a slight tap. “That should ease it.”

Mallory slowly rises from the sofa, trying to put weight on her foot. But she stumbles almost instantly, letting out a small cry as she loses her balance and lands straight into Bronze’s arms.

He catches her instinctively. Mallory’s hands clutch his shoulders, and for a second, they stay that way. He steadies her, his brows knitting in concern. “You can’t walk like this,” he says, his tone gentle but firm. “I’ll take you to your room.”

Before I can even speak, he bends down and lifts her into his arms.

I can only watch with my heart aching as her arms loop around his neck and her head rests lightly against his chest. The sight hurts.

It’s not like before. Initially, I used to think Mallory was the one coming between us. This time it feels like I’m the one coming in between their connection. As if I am standing in a place I was never meant to be

    VENUS“I can’t change it now,” he says, more like he’s reminding both of us of the poor fate that has left us helpless. “But I want to put everything behind us.”I do not know what to say.A part of me wants that too. Desperately. I am tired of carrying this hurt everywhere I go. But another part of me still bleeds from his betrayal. I still remember how easily I was replaced.I open my mouth to respond. The door to the meeting room swings open.Simon steps out, his sharp gaze moving between us before settling on Bronze. “The elders are waiting,”he states. Bronze nods and gestures for me to go in first. I walk past him and enter the room.The elders are already seated around the table. Their expressions are serious and expectant as usual. Just as I anticipated, Mallory is there too.Unlike the other times, her gaze lands heavily on me. One that feels threatening. Elder Gonalz gestures for me to sit.I take the chair, my movements slow and careful, a sense of dread already settling d

    VENUS“T-that could be possible. But when he—,” she clears her throat, as if careful not to hurt me, “when that incident happened, the full moon period was just starting. It’s usually not that strong at that time since it’s just being initiated.” I purse my lips, feeling a tad bit disappointed. A part of me hoped that I could blame it on the full moon for whatever he did. That way I would find it easy to forgive him. To believe what he told me. “Are you okay?” Sydney asks, watching me with concern filling her eyes. After that incident, Bronze never came to check on me. Not at the hospital, not at the packhouse. I did not see him at all. Not even for once. Even though I broke up with him for cheating on me, a part of me still aches. It hurts that he does not check on me at all.Like I do not matter to him anymore.I nod. “Yeah,” I exhale. “Totally.” —-------------------------------------------I lie on my bed, staring at the ceiling, but my mind refuses to rest.The white wolf’s

    VENUSI take a slow breath and look at Rowan. “It was Mallory,” I mutter, pressing my lips in concern. “She’s the one who let those wolves into the pack. One of them was a white wolf.”His expression hardens instantly. “You do not need to worry about that,” he assures me. “I am already investigating this.”I shake my head. “We are all in this together. No matter what you say, Mallory has it out for me now. She knows I’m suspicious of her.”He frowns. “How is that possible?”I hesitate, then decide there is no point hiding it. “Before everyone arrived, I confronted her in the woods. She was hiding and watching me. I didn’t have a choice.”Rowan exhales and runs a hand through his face. His eyes turn cold, sharp, like he is piecing together a puzzle I cannot see.“You need to be more careful,” he warns me. “If Mallory knows, that means you will be watched.”“I know,” I reply, nodding my head. “But you won’t have to deal with that.”He smirks slightly, as if he knows something he is not

    VENUSA massive white rogue wolf pins me down, jaws dripping with blood. Its claws dig into my shoulder, cutting deep, fire erupts across my skin, sharp and tearing. The pain is so intense I almost black out.No. No, no, no.If I pass out now, I’m dead.I gasp, trying to push it off, but its weight is overwhelming, crushing the air from my lungs. My vision blurs. My heart pounds too fast. I feel dizzy.This pain is too much… I’m losing…Then, something inside me snaps.A surge of hot, electric energy floods my veins, stronger than before, almost feral.I take a shaky breath. Focus. I must control it. Channel it.The world slows. The wolf snarls, lowering its jaws toward my throat. My eyes burn. A blue glow fills my vision.Energy bursts outward through my skin like a shockwave.The white wolf is thrown off me, slamming into a tree so hard the trunk splits. It doesn’t get up.It’s dead. I stare at its still body, chest heaving, my hands trembling.My palms tingle with that same electr

    VENUSOne of the rogues breaks away from the chaos and lunges toward the injured couple. “No!” I sprint toward them instinctively.I shove the man and woman aside just as the wolf crashes into me. Its claws rake across my side, burning fire through my ribs. Pain explodes in my body, sharp and blinding, but I refuse to fall.I slam my elbow into the wolf’s snout. It snarls, snapping at my throat, but I twist out of reach and shove my forearm against its jaw, forcing its teeth away. My other hand glows with that strange power, and I slam it into its chest.The wolf flies backward with a yelp.“Run!” I shout at the couple. My voice breaks, but they don’t waste a second. They stumble to their feet and sprint toward the opposite direction.Two other rogues notice them fleeing. They pivot sharply, their ears flattening, teeth bared and chase after the couple.“Oh no you don’t.”I growl and force myself forward.I expect the pain in my side to slow me down, but instead my speed surges.My le

    VENUSIt feels heavy. Wrong. Like the forest suddenly exhaled something cold and alive against my skin. I stare into the trees to my right, pulse spiking.Olivia notices my change in expression. “What’s the matter?” she asks, exasperated. “We need to keep moving or other groups will get the batches first.” she reminds me. “I know,” I whisper, but the sensation crawls up my spine. I decide to ignore this feeling. I walk ahead with her but then the feeling keeps growing and growing until I just can’t ignore it. I stop in my tracks. Olivia turns to me with confusion. “What now?” There’s annoyance in her voice. “It’s just… something’s out there. Something bad.”Olivia turns toward me fully, annoyance tightening her jaw. “And how exactly do you know that?”“I don’t,” I admit. “But I can sense it.”She rolls her eyes. “We all sense things. Doesn’t mean we stop the whole hunt for it.”“It’s not like that,” I insist. “It’s too strong to ignore.”Olivia throws her hands up. “Venus, I don’t
