Jay – POV

"Just one more shot. I promise I won't want anymore," River slurred, her hand wobbling slightly as she reached for the tiny glass on the counter.

I stared at her, completely dumbfounded.

River. Drunk.

If someone had told me earlier that this girl would be drunk by the end of the night, I’d have laughed. Hard. But here I was—watching her sway slightly in my living room with flushed cheeks, glassy eyes, and the hiccupy confidence of someone who thought they were still totally in control.

I had never seen River drunk. Never even imagined it.

But of course, Hailey had to come up with a stupid drinking game after the guests had left, and now I was stuck babysitting a very happy, very loud, and very drunk River. Good thing Steven was fast asleep upstairs. If he were awake, there was no telling what he’d witness—or repeat.

“This is your fault,” I snapped, shooting Hailey a glare as I snatched the half-full wine bottle out of her reach before she could top River off again.

    Jay — POVShe looked like she’d seen a ghost.“Babe?” I called, my voice gentle at first.No response.“Babe?” I tried again, leaning a bit forward, searching her face.Still nothing. Her eyes stayed fixed on something behind me, wide and unblinking.“River!” I said more firmly this time, my voice slicing through the air.She jumped, her head snapping toward me as if she’d just woken up from a nightmare. Her eyes locked on mine, but something inside them had shifted. There was a wild storm there — panic, fear, something raw and sharp that I couldn’t quite place.“What’s got you worked up?” I asked, keeping my tone soft, trying to ground her.She just kept staring at me, her lips parted slightly, like she was struggling to find the right words.Then she whispered so quietly I almost didn’t catch it. “Can we go home, please?”I let out a short laugh, thinking she was joking. “You're joking, right?” I said, a grin tugging at the corner of my mouth.But her face stayed frozen, pale and dr

    River — POVI squinted at him suspiciously. “Jay…”He leaned down, pecking my forehead before stepping back and heading toward the door. “Stay right here,” he said, pointing at me like I was a child he was scolding — which only made me laugh more.Before I could argue, he slipped out of the room.I sat there, shaking my head and covering my face with my hands. Despite my protests, I could feel the excitement buzzing in my veins, that little tingle in my chest.He returned moments later, a mysterious grin on his face and a sleek designer bag dangling from his hand.“Oh my gosh, Jay!” I squealed, my eyes instantly lighting up.“Okay,” he said, dropping onto the bed beside me, that boyish excitement practically vibrating off him, “so… I got this dress a few days ago on my way to work. Figured you’d look gorgeous in it.”I gasped, practically jumping on him. “Thank you, baby!” I wrapped my arms around his neck and peppered his face with quick, messy kisses, giggling as I did. He laughed u

    River — POV _Six years later_ “Happy birthday to you… Happy birthday to you… Happy birthday dear River… Happy birthday to you!”Their voices wrapped around me like a warm blanket. I opened my eyes slowly, already grinning as the sweet, slightly off-key melody filled my room.There they were — my little family.Hailey stood at the foot of the bed, her eyes twinkling with mischief and warmth. Jay was beside her, his deep voice a bit too serious, and right in front of them, standing proudly on the mattress, was Steven.My heart just about melted when I saw the tiny cake in his little hands, a single candle flickering unsteadily on top.“Blow your candle and make a wish, mama!” Steven squealed, his dimples deeper than ever as he beamed at me.“Okay, okay,” I laughed, sitting up straighter and reaching for the cake carefully. His small hands hovered underneath it for support, just in case.As I held the cake, I paused. What would I even wish for?I looked around my room — our room — and

    Zed – POVI sat beside her hospital bed, staring at her pale face. The machines around us hummed and beeped in a cruel, steady rhythm, like a reminder that she was still here... but not really.I reached for her hand and wrapped my fingers around it carefully, as if she might shatter if I squeezed too hard. It felt cold. Too cold."Today’s the day, Mama," I whispered, my voice cracking halfway through. "Today’s the coronation. They’re going to make me Alpha."I let out a shaky breath, pressing my lips together to keep from falling apart."Amber will be Luna, just like we always talked about," I said, forcing a small laugh. It sounded hollow even to my own ears. "You liked her, didn’t you? You used to say she had a strong spirit... that she’d make a good Luna. I wish you could see her today."I paused, looking at her face for any sign—an eye twitch, a finger move—anything. But she stayed still, like a statue carved from marble."I... I feel so lost, Mama," I continued, my thumb brushin

    River – POVEight Months LaterThe courtroom was packed. A stifling silence hung in the air, thick with tension. My heels clicked against the floor as I rose from my seat behind the defense table, smoothing my navy suit and adjusting my glasses.I turned toward the witness stand, my voice steady.“I’d like to call Ms. Tatiana Ward to the stand,” I said clearly.Tatiana stepped up, all glossed lips and tight nerves. She sat, smoothed her skirt, and avoided eye contact with Ella—my client, her supposed best friend—whose seat was beside mine.The bailiff stepped forward. “Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?”Tatiana nodded. “I do.”I approached the stand slowly. “Ms. Ward, how long have you known my client, Ella Thompson?”“We’ve been friends since college,” she said tightly.“Best friends?” I pressed.“Yes.”“So close that you were the maid of honor at her wedding?”“Yes.”“Mm.” I paused, circling slightly. “Would you say you knew Ella’s husband,

    River POVThe look on Jay’s face made my heart crack a little. He wasn’t angry, not visibly, but the hurt behind his eyes said enough. I may not have been in love with him, but I still cared about him. Deeply.“Look, I’m sorry,” I said, my voice lower now, guilt weighing down every word. “I was drunk out of my mind last night, and honestly... I can't even remember everything we did.”Jay didn’t say anything. He just stared at me, unreadable. No smirk, no joke. Just silence. It made my stomach twist.I took a deep breath and kept going, even though I wasn’t sure if I should. “I remember the drinking, the kiss, maybe... my zipper going down. But everything else is blank. I woke up naked in your bed, Jay. You were half-naked too. What was I supposed to think?”He blinked, confusion flickering across his face. “Sex?” he asked, like the word itself startled him. “River, we didn’t have sex last night.”My eyes narrowed. “We didn’t?”He shook his head slowly. “Nope.”Now I was the one confus
