登入KIARA'S POVI didn’t plan to tell Kael’s mother everything.At first, it was just supposed to be a visit.Something normal.Something grounding.But after the witch doctor’s words… after the dream… after the way my chest kept tightening whenever I thought about Chloe I couldn’t keep it inside anymore.Olivia was in the garden when I arrived.She always was.Calm.Composed.The kind of woman who looked like she had already survived every version of chaos life could offer.She looked up as I approached and smiled gently.“There she is.”I forced a small smile back.“Hi, Olivia.”She studied my face immediately.Her smile faded slightly.“You look tired.”I exhaled slowly.“I am.”She gestured to the seat beside her.“Sit.”I did.For a moment, neither of us spoke.Just the sound of wind brushing through the leaves.Then she poured tea and handed me a cup like she already knew I needed something to hold onto.“So,” she said softly, “what’s wrong?”That was Olivia.No small talk when it mattered.No
KIARA'S POVI didn’t tell Kael I was leaving the house.Not because I was hiding something dangerous.But because I knew exactly what he would say.“Stay home…..Rest…..Don’t overthink it.”But I couldn’t rest.Not after that dream.Not after that face I couldn’t see.Not after the feeling that still clung to me like a shadow I couldn’t shake off.So I went to the only person who ever spoke about visions like they meant something.The witch doctor.She agreed to meet me at the small clearing in the park near the pack lands. A quiet place. Safe. Or at least, it was supposed to be.The wind was soft when I arrived.Leaves rustled under my feet.And she was already there.Standing under an old tree like she had been waiting for me longer than I realized.Her eyes lifted slowly.“I was wondering when you’d come,” she said calmly.I frowned.“Did you know I was coming?”She gave a faint smile.“I know when someone is carrying a dream they don’t understand.”That made my stomach tighten.I stepped cl
KIARA'S POVSleep came easily that night.Maybe because I had cried.Maybe because I was exhausted from trying so hard to reach someone who seemed determined to push me away Or maybe because my heart simply couldn't take anymore.Whatever the reason, I fell asleep in Kael's arms, his chest rising and falling beneath my head while one of the twins slept peacefully in the cradle beside our bed.And then…I dreamed.At first, there was only darkness….Not frightening darkness.Just endless black….Until I heard laughter.A woman's laughter.Soft…..Warm….Familiar.I turned around.And saw her…..A girl Or perhaps a woman.I couldn't tell.Her figure was blurry.Like she was hidden behind fog.I couldn't see her face.No matter how hard I tried.No matter how much I strained my eyes.I couldn't.But somehow…I knew her.Not her face….Not her voice.But her…..And I loved her.I trusted her….Completely.More than anyone.More than reason itself.And somehow…That knowledge frightened me.Because another v
KIARA'S POVSomething was wrong.I didn't know when it started exactly.Maybe after the nursery incident.Maybe after Celeste came back.Maybe after all the secrets and strange looks and conversations that always seemed to end before I entered the room.But something had changed.And I hated it.Because somehow, without me realizing it, Chloe and I had stopped being us.For years, she had been my person.My sister.The one I laughed with.The one I cried with.The one who sat through terrible movies with me and stole food off my plate.But lately…She was avoiding me.And I didn't understand why.That morning, I found her in the kitchen making tea.My face immediately lit up."Good morning."She glanced at me."Morning."Something inside me hurt.Her voice.It wasn't rude.Not exactly.But it wasn't Chloe.The old Chloe would've smiled.She would've complained about being tired.She would've stolen my toast.She would've hugged me.Instead, she just continued making tea.Trying not to let it bother me, I
KIARA’S POVI waited until the twins were asleep before I told him.Kael was sitting on the edge of the bed, loosening his shirt sleeves like he was finally allowing himself to breathe after a long day. I stood by the door for a moment, just watching him.He looked up immediately.“Kiara.”That one word already told me he knew something was coming.I walked in slowly and sat beside him.“Celeste spoke to me again.”His jaw tightened, but he didn’t interrupt.I took a breath.“She told me she’s drawn the line.”That got his full attention.Kael turned toward me completely.“What line?”I swallowed.“She said she won’t rest until she takes you back.”Silence.The air in the room changed instantly.Kael didn’t speak for a few seconds, just stared at me like he was trying to decide if he heard me correctly.Then he exhaled sharply through his nose.“That woman has completely lost it.”I gave a small, uneasy smile.“It wasn’t anger when she said it. It was… conviction.”That made his expres
KIARA'S POVI was honestly starting to think Celeste had lost her mind.Not because she loved Kael.Love made people do strange things.No, what concerned me was the fact that she refused to let go.And the more she refused to let go, the less threatened I felt.Because I knew my mate.I knew the father of my children.And above all…I knew the man who cried when one of our sons sneezed.The man who brought me breakfast every morning.The man who kissed me goodnight every single night.The man who had rejected Celeste without hesitation.No amount of jealousy could change that.Which was why, when I found Celeste waiting for me outside the garden that afternoon, I wasn't afraid.I was mostly annoyed."Celeste."She turned around.And immediately, I noticed something different.Her eyes.There was something unsettling in them.Not sadness…..Not heartbreak…..Determination."Kiara."I smiled politely."Can I help you?"Her expression hardened."No."She took a step toward me."But you can help your
KAEL'S POVFatherhood had changed me. I knew it and everyone around me knew it. Apparently, according to Liam, I had become unbearable and according to Kiara, I had become overprotective. Personally, I preferred responsible.I found my mother in the garden that afternoon tending to her flowers. The
