Evelyn – Present Day

I flinched slightly at the word mate, Tyler’s name didn’t need to be spoken for me to feel the weight behind it.

“But,” Leo continued, cutting his eyes toward me, “I don’t give three fucks about what Tyler thinks. You’re not his anymore. As far as I’m concerned, you never were. I’m taking you home.”

My brows furrowed. “Home?”

He smiled faintly, eyes back on the road. “Redwood.”

I stared at him, stunned for a moment. The warmth behind his words, the certainty in them, it settled something inside me. Not just relief… something deeper.

A slow smile curved across my lips.

“Redwood,” I repeated softly.

And for the first time in a long time… it sounded exactly right.

The car crawled along the winding road like it had all the time in the world.

Every few seconds, my leg bounced involuntarily, jittery with anticipation. My palms were clammy despite the cool air. I wiped them on my pants for the third time, but it didn’t help much.

Leo’s voice floated from the dr

    EvelynDaniel’s eyes hadn’t moved from my stomach. Not even for a second.It was like he’d become completely disconnected from reality, mouth slightly open, frozen in place, staring like he was trying to solve some twisted-ass puzzle in his head.And I knew it. I fucking knew it. He was about to say it.I slowly shifted my gaze to the right, inch by inch, trying not to make it obvious. My fingers curled along the edge of the table just beside me. There was a jug sitting there, ceramic, heavy. I could feel the cold weight of it against my knuckles.I leaned back, body tight as a spring.“Evie…” Daniel’s voice came out low and strange, like someone muttering in their sleep. Then his gaze snapped up to meet mine. “Are you… pregnant?”Oh no.Oh fuck.“You’re pregnant,” he whispered again, this time louder, firmer, almost excited. “You’re,”CRASH!I didn’t wait for him to finish.I swung the jug straight into the side of his face with every ounce of strength I had. The sound it made was si

    EvelynThe second I closed the door behind me, the lights flicked on by themselves. Click. Click. Click. Room after room lit up like the mansion had just taken a deep breath and decided to pretend everything was normal.But nothing felt normal.Outside, the world had gone black.I stood still for a second, watching the light inside cast strange shadows along the walls. The kind that flickered even when there was no breeze. My heartbeat hadn’t calmed since I left Leo. The air still felt thick and quiet and wrong.I made my way to the nearest window and peeked through the curtains.Holy shit.There it was.The eclipse.Dead center in the sky like a painted eye, black with a glowing rim, like someone had taken a blade and sliced the sun in two. Everything around it had darkened completely, like night just happened at 10 a.m.Down below, I could see some of the wolves passed out on the stairs outside the mansion. A couple more lay on couches, their chests rising and falling gently like th

    EvelynI didn’t know where I was going.Didn’t care, honestly.I just walked, feet dragging, mind spinning, the air thick like it knew something I didn’t. There was no destination. No reason. I just kept moving forward like I was going to magically end up somewhere that felt right, somewhere that made sense.Spoiler alert, I didn’t.The mansion faded behind me with every slow step, the hum of Redwood’s streets dulling into the kind of silence that made you think too damn much. The breeze had that strange eclipse stillness, like even the wind wasn’t sure whether to keep moving. It brushed gently across my face, cool but not cold, like it pitied me.The pain came in waves.Grief. Regret. Anger. All of it circling like vultures around whatever was left of my sanity. I don’t even know what triggered it, maybe it was Damien, maybe it was the stupid nightmare, or maybe I just hit my emotional quota for the year.I didn’t even realize how far I’d gone until my boot tapped the edge of somethi

    EvelynOnce it really hit me, what was going on with everyone, my first instinct was to find Leo.I mean, obviously.If anyone could figure out what the hell we were supposed to do during a celestial hangover apocalypse, it was him. I turned fast on my heel, about to sprint off toward the east wing where he usually disappeared when things got weird, but then I stopped dead in my tracks.Wait.I blinked, breathing in deeply.Again.What the…?I wasn’t winded.My legs weren’t shaking. My head wasn’t pounding. My wolf didn’t feel like it was buried under twenty pounds of lead. Actually, I felt fine.Like… fine-fine.“What the fuck?” I whispered to myself, glancing around to make sure no one heard me.I stood completely still for a moment and just listened. My heartbeat was steady. My body didn’t ache. There wasn’t a drop of nausea in sight. Meanwhile, everyone else was stumbling around like drunk toddlers on stilts, and I was over here standing like I’d just done a yoga session with brea

    Evelyn“Ahh—!”I gasped sharply as my eyes flew open.The air around me felt thick and cold, and I blinked fast, over and over, trying to make out anything. Everything was dark—like, pitch dark. Not even that gentle blue kind of dark your eyes eventually adjust to. This was like I’d been shoved inside a black velvet box and slammed shut.My breathing came fast. Way too fast. Chest rising and falling like I’d been running. “What the hell…” I muttered, reaching up to rub at my eyes. They burned like hell, heavy and strained, like I’d been crying in my sleep or had rubbed them raw without realizing.Come on, come on. Focus.I kept blinking, rubbing, hoping something, anything, would come into view. I tried to feel beneath me. Grass? Dirt? I couldn’t tell.And then, whoosh.“Ah—!”Something shot past my left ear like wind with weight, like a shadow that moved too close and way too fast.I jerked my head toward the sound, hands dropping from my eyes in reflex. And just like that… the darkn

    Evelyn “Really?” I asked, trying to keep my face as unimpressed as my voice, but a bit of curiosity still snuck through. Tyler nodded like I’d just asked him if water was wet. “Yeah. Elsie’s just one of the things Bluestone doesn’t have, and Redwood can’t compete.” I let out a fake little “ha-ha-haaa”, dry as hell, and walked toward the bed. I sat down with a dramatic flop, pressing my palm over my face like I couldn’t believe I was still listening to him. “Oh mehh… here we go.” Tyler didn’t even flinch. He was clearly enjoying this. He leaned casually against my desk, arms folded, wearing that smug look that always made me want to both punch and kiss him at the same time. Ugh. “And,” he continued, clearly not finished, “I bet Redwood doesn’t have a fancy archive either. Not like Bluestone’s. We’ve got scrolls from centuries ago, handwritten records, spell documents, war logs. I mean, come on—this place barely has a bookshelf.” I tilted my head slowly and squinted at him
