Mikaela

My world spun the second Jenna’s voice cut through the air.

She actually said it out loud to everyone. The secret I had fought so hard to keep hidden, the one thing had I prayed would never come out, not like this, was suddenly out dangling in the air like dirty laundry. My chest tightened and my heartbeat pounding so loud I swore the whole hall could hear it.

Faces staring at me, judgingly, hat’s all I saw. Kane staring at me like he couldn’t piece me together. Shocked gasps from strangers who barely knew me and what I had been through. Whispers crawling through the room like wildfire.

And Ryan. My eyes locked on his for a split second, and that was enough.

I knew this was his doing. His and Jenna’s. They’d set me up.

My stomach dropped and my legs went weak, shaking like they couldn’t hold me anymore. Tears burned behind my eyes, hot and stinging and I couldn’t stop them. I didn’t want to cry in front of everyone, but the shame, it was too much.

I turned and bolted, as I ran

    MikaelaThe car kept moving steadily, wheels humming over the dirt road as we drove deeper into Scarlet Pack territory. I pressed my forehead lightly against the window, watching the trees blur past. I didn’t want to be here. Not with Ryan. And definitely not with Lydia.I’d already made it clear to him, I wanted nothing to do with either of them. My only concern was my children. That’s it. I swore to myself that no matter what Lydia spat out, no matter how sharp her tongue got or no matter how much it hurt I wouldn’t let her get into my head. For the kids’ sake, I couldn’t.Still, I could sense it. Her insecurities. They poured off her like bad perfume. She was scared, terrified even that I’d somehow take her place at Ryan’s side. I almost laughed at the thought. Me? Go back to Ryan? The same way she had crawled her way into his life when mine was falling apart? Hell no. Ryan was my past, I wasn’t planning to repeat.I scoffed quietly at the thought, shaking my head. That door was

    RyanBy the time morning came, we were all set to leave this damn place. The engines were already rumbling when we finally pulled out. It was me, Mikaela, Lydia, the kids, and a couple guards following behind in another SUV. I took the driver’s seat, l didn't trust anyone else with it. Lydia sat shotgun, of course, while Mikaela and the kids were in the back.I kept my eyes on the road, hands steady on the wheel, but truth be told, I wasn’t all there. Every couple minutes, I found myself checking the rearview mirror. At her, Mikaela. She hadn’t said much since we left. Her eyes were glued to the kids, her shoulders tight like she was holding herself together with nothing but sheer will. Every so often, she’d lean forward, adjusting a seatbelt or asking, “Are you comfortable back there?” like her whole world depended on their answer.And me? I kept thinking, Three months. That’s all I’ve got. Three months to make her stay.Lydia’s voice broke through, light and airy like she was jus

    RyanI walked straight into the hospital without slowing down, not giving a single damn about who was glaring at me or whispering under their breath. Let them. They could scream, they could curse me out, hell, they could tell me I wasn’t welcome here a thousand times over, but none of them could actually stop me. Not unless they wanted broken bones.I wasn’t here to fight though. Not this time.One of the nurses froze the second I caught her eye. Poor thing looked like she wanted to vanish into the damn wall. I stepped closer, lowering my voice just a little so I didn’t scare her half to death. “Someone was brought in recently. Where?”She stammered, pointed down the hall. “T… third door on the left.”That was all I needed. I muttered a rough “thanks” and kept moving. My boots hit the floor too hard, too loud. My stomach was in knots, but I kept my face stone cold.I turned the corner, amd I spotted them immediately June. And my three childtenThe second their little eyes landed

    MikaelaGod, my head. It felt like someone had slammed a rock against my skull, then decided to keep pounding for fun. I groaned, trying to shift, but even that tiny movement made the room spin like a carnival ride had gone wrong. Where the hell was I?I blinked slowly, forcing myself to focus. The sharp, sterile smell hit me first, disinfectant, bleach, that cold hospital air I hated so much. Just the place I didn’t want to be.My eyelids felt like they weighed a ton, but after a few tries, I finally pried them open. The lights above stabbed at my eyes, making me squint until everything wasn’t a blur anymore. Shapes turned into walls, walls into ceiling, ceiling into… reality.“What… what happened?” I muttered under my breath, though I already knew.And then it hit me.I passed out. Just collapsed like some fragile doll.I groaned again, sinking deeper into the comfy bed. Of all the things I could’ve gone down from, injury, fight, or even a damn rogue attack, it had to be stress? A

    RyanThe hall was empty. Just me.God, it felt colder without the crowd, or the noise. My thoughts echoed, and it hit me, I’d screwed up. I’d been wrong, wong about Mikaela, wrong about everything.That woman Tobias hugged… that was his Luna. His mate. Not Mikaela.I dragged a hand down my face, pressing against my jaw, and winced when the pain shot up my cheek. Tobias really knew how to throw a punch. My nose still felt crooked, maybe broken. Didn’t matter. That wasn’t the pain I cared about.“How the hell…?” I muttered under my breath, pacing in circles. “How the hell did I not see it? How did I convince myself Mikaela was…?” My words tangled, and I didn’t even finish the thought.I’d ruined everything. Probably destroyed any chance I had at being part of my kids’ lives. And the alliance? Done. Dead. Buried six feet under because of me.I closed my eyes, and the image burned itself in my skull, my kids. Teary eyed and nfused. They probably looked at me like… like I was the monster.
