EZRA

I didn’t need directions. My body moved on muscle memory, cutting through the sharp turns and quiet roads as dusk crawled across the sky. I’d only been to the house once, long enough to memorize the perfect driveway, the pristine lawn, the marble pillars that framed the entrance.

Long enough to remember the scent of the coward who lived here.

Samuel.

The name curled bitter on my tongue. My hands flexed on the wheel, the ghost of restraint tightening across my knuckles. I’d let him go once. I had walked away. But now...

He had crossed a line no sane being should ever touch.

He had posted again. The first time, it had been fake nudes… cruel, pathetic. This time it was real. A hug in the parking lot. Another in the hallway. Grainy and distant but undeniable. He’d been watching her. Watching us.

And now, posted for the world, it came with a venomous caption.

Her lover threatened to unalive me. Let’s see him try.

The wolf stirred inside me.

The elegant home rose up like a statue of pr

    JACQUELINEMy heart thumped wildly as I watched Blair.“What is it?” I asked, lowering myself to the floor from the couch.Blair peeked again through the curtain, her hand steady as she brushed it aside. The seconds dragged. Then she turned to me with a soft, relieved smile.“It’s just my mom. Sorry, I needed to be sure.”I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding and flopped back onto the couch. “You scared me, Blair. I thought Nina had finally recruited her minions and they’d come with pitchforks.”Blair’s eyes twinkled. “They wouldn’t dare. Your boyfriend would kill them all this time.”My face flushed hot. “He’s not my boyfriend, Blair.”“Yes, tell that to the number of times I’ve seen him look at you like you’re already married.”I shook my head and picked up a cushion. “I could hit you with another pillow right now.”“But you won’t,” she said, leaning smugly against the arm of the couch. “Because I’m your baby.”Before I could retort, the door clicked open and Blair’s mo

    EZRA It was time.I did not take anything with me. No bag. No suitcase. No farewell note. The desk where I had spent long nights grading essays sat in perfect order. The drawers closed. The floor swept. I left everything just as it had always been. Nothing in the human world belonged to me. I opened the front door. The sky had turned from deep blue to a starless black, which was good. Nobody would see the portal open up in the forest. Nobody would suspect a thing. Then a small meow broke through it.I turned.The orange cat sat in the middle of the living room, tail curled around her paws. Her green eyes stared into mine, unblinking. The look she gave me was not pleading. It was accusatory. As though she knew what I was about to do. As if she knew that I was about to leave. Leave everything behind. Leave her behind. Animals always did.They knew when storms were coming, when death was nearby, when a soul had decided it would not stay.I walked back to her, slow, like I had not jus

    “I’ve seen him naked. No more last names.”Blair howled with laughter as I smacked her with the pillow again, softer this time. The sound filled the room like sunshine cracking through storm clouds. A warmth bloomed in my chest. God, I needed this. I needed her.She fell back dramatically, hand over her heart. “Okay, okay, Ezra it is.”We both smiled, a fragile peace settling over us like a threadbare blanket.I picked at a thread on the sleeve of my top, “Is your mom home?”Blair sighed. “Nah. She’s still at work.” Her voice softened, the edges of her usual sass worn down. “She works way too much. Honestly, I think she doesn’t know how to stop. Like, she’ll complain about being tired, then go take on another client just because someone asked nicely.”“She deserves a break,” I said.Blair nodded, eyes focused on the ceiling. “Yeah. She won’t take one, though. She says she can rest when Amy finishes her final year. And Amy’s only 9.”I gave a small laugh. “Speaking of, is Amy around?”

    JACQUELINEBlair reached over and took my hand. “I know.”I swallowed. “I don’t regret it. I just... I feel like I don’t know him. Not really. He’s always been this mystery. And now—”“You’ve slept with the mystery,” she said, deadpan.I groaned and buried my face in her shoulder.She laughed softly and wrapped her arms around me. “Hey. It’s okay. It’s okay to be confused. But I saw the way you looked at him in the parking lot the other day. And it's obvious that he cares about you too. I mean, he came to the hospital to look for you and take you back to your mom. That wasn’t nothing.”I sniffed as I remembered that day and how Ezra had looked cold and formidable leaning against his car, those gray, stormy eyes pinning me to the spot. Maybe Blair was right. Maybe he did care. He had touched me like I mattered…his hands on my skin had made me feel warm and fuzzy...I pulled back slowly, determined to stop thinking about the sex. “He said he went to see Samuel.”Blair stiffened. “What?

    JACQUELINE’S POVThe road ahead looked soft and blurry, like I was seeing it through water. Or tears. I couldn’t tell. I wasn’t crying, not really. But something in me had cracked wide open, and I was still trying to keep it all from spilling out.I had just had sex.With Mr. Philips. No, Ezra. He had told me to call him Ezra.The words echoed in my head, like something out of someone else’s life.I hadn't visited Ezra with the motive of sex. I had needed to warn him about Samuel and let him know about the threat. But when I had seen him, all the feelings I had been suppressing had risen to the fore, and I had found myself wanting...needing to be touched by him more than I had ever wanted anything in my life. My body was still sore in the best kind of way. My lips are still swollen. My skin is still warm with the afterglow of him.I hadn’t meant for it to happen. Not like this. Not with so many things unsaid.But it had felt... right. I didn’t regret it. Not one second of it. Not t

    EZRA’S POVThe house was silent when I stepped in, save for the soft hum of the refrigerator down the hall.I shut the door behind me, careful with the lock, but even the click sounded loud to my ears.I rolled my shoulder once, tension pulling tight down my spine. The hallway stretched toward the room where I left her.Jacqueline.When I pushed open the door, the light from the hallway spilled across the bed.She was still there. I let out a breath I hadn’t known I was holding. For a moment, I’d thought that I’d come home to find her gone.But she was still here, still asleep, curled beneath the covers, her body half-hidden in cotton sheets. Her hair was a dark tumble across the pillow, her skin pale against the linen.Jacqueline was beautiful. There was something about her fragile human skin that beckoned to me. The fact that she was breakable yet so beautiful tugged at something in my heart that made me swallow.I stepped toward the bed, fully intending to remove my clothes and act
