LOGIN°Amy’s POV° Meeting him right here in the woods wasn’t surprising, but it still wasn’t something I had been expecting. The night had already been strange enough on its own. The air felt too thick, like it was pressing down on my skin, and every sound carried farther than it should have. Even the wind through the trees had this low, restless hum to it, like it knew something I didn’t. So when I saw him standing there, half-shadowed between the trees, it didn’t shock me the way it should have. It just….. settled into the night, like he belonged there. I scoffed before I could stop myself, shaking my head slightly. Of course he was here. Of course. I folded my arms loosely, more out of habit than confidence, and looked at him properly. “You shouldn’t be here,” I told him. My voice came out steadier than I felt, which was good, because the last thing I needed was for him to hear anything uncertain in it. “I don’t need to explain to you why I am here,” he said, frowning. That an
°Amy’s POV°“What are you going to do now?”Mia’s voice drifted through the room like she was discussing something small. Something unimportant.“Are you going to claim Luna and watch your son die…?”She kept talking.Talking.Talking.Like Eli’s life was just another card she had pulled from a deck.My jaw tightened.She only cared about one thing.That stupid title.That chair in the council room.That little word everyone worshipped.Luna.I watched her for a second, really watched her.The way her fingers rested on the edge of Eli’s desk.The way her lips curved slightly like she was already enjoying the ending of this story.“You know you're no match for me.”The words slipped out through clenched teeth before I even realized I had spoken.Her eyes flickered.Just for a moment.“You're just trying to get rid of me logically,” I continued quietly, “which I find strangely amusing.”Something moved across her face.A tiny crack.Maybe discomfort…..Then she quickly smoothed it over.
°Amy’s POV° I let out a slow breath. It came out shaky. My heart was beating so loud it felt like it had moved up into my ears. Every thump echoed through my head, heavy and uneven. The room felt smaller than it should have. Too quiet and too tense. “Rip her apart.” Gia’s voice slid through my mind, low and dangerous. “Tear her into shreds… and anyone who'd pose a threat to our son.” There was no hesitation in her voice. No confusion. Gia already knew what she wanted to do. She was ready. But me? I wasn’t ready for anything yet. My thoughts felt tangled. Like someone had dropped a thousand puzzle pieces into my head and expected me to make sense of them in five seconds. Nothing made sense. Nathan was gone. Jeremy was not here. And somehow Mia was standing in front of me talking about my son like he was a problem she needed to fix. Across the room, Mia stood by the large glass windows now. The modern ones Nathan had installed last year. She reached out and pushed
°Amy’s POV°I stared at her.Right into her eyes.Neither of us blinked, like we were both waiting to see who would break first.The moonlight spilled across the balcony behind her, washing the room in a pale glow, and somehow it made her look even more unreal.So much about her had changed.Her skin looked smoother than I remembered, almost glowing under the silver light. The short dress she wore clung to her body like it had been made just for her, the fabric shimmering every time she shifted. Even the glass heels on her feet caught the moonlight and reflected it like tiny stars.I barely recognized her.My mouth opened, but nothing came out.It felt like my brain had stopped working.How was this even possible?“We meet again… Amy.”Her voice was soft, almost calm, but the way she lifted her chin made it feel like she had been waiting years to say those words.My throat tightened.“What the… how?”The question slipped out before I could stop it.Before I could even think of steppin
° Amy’s POV ° I didn’t realize how tight my chest had been until the gates closed behind me. The sound was quiet, but it settled something in me….just a little. I parked in front of the house and stayed there for a second, my fingers resting on the steering wheel. The building stood the same…..tall as always. It didn’t look like a place where someone had died…..It didn’t look like a place that had lost its Alpha. “Mom?” Eli’s voice pulled me out of it. I blinked and turned to him. He was watching me carefully, like he had been doing for a while. “We’re here,” I said, softer this time. He nodded and unbuckled himself before I could help him. By the time I stepped out, a guard was already approaching. He opened Eli’s door, but Eli had already jumped down, moving straight to my side. I noticed that. How close he stayed. Not clinging. Just… close….. the poor kid had been through a lot…. I guess… We walked inside together. The doors opened, and the house greeted us with tha
° Amy’s POV °I didn’t answer him.I couldn’t.Because if I stayed there any longer, I was going to break in a way I wouldn’t be able to hide.So I turned….just like that….no more words….no more looking at him.I walked past him, my shoulder brushing his arm lightly, but I didn’t stop, I didn’t even slow down.If I did, I might turn back and I refused to do that.Not after everything.The hallway felt longer than before.My steps echoed softly, uneven at first, then steady as I forced myself to breathe properly.In.Out.In.Out.But my chest still hurt.Downstairs, the noise returned again.The voices, the movements….Life continuing like nothing had just ended upstairs.Eli.I spotted him immediately.He was exactly where I left him, sitting now, his small legs swinging slightly as he waited.Waiting for me.My throat tightened.I walked to him and reached for his hand.“Let’s go,” I said softly as he stood up without asking questions.We started walking toward the door.That’s when
Amy's POV. It didn't take so long after Becky left, Jeremy returned to the restroom where we almost did that thing. “So you're still here…I've been searching all of Greensburg for you,” He said. I nodded lightly. “I've been here since…” I replied, with a low tired voice. “ Is anything wrong? W
°Amy's POV ° I didn't think it was a great idea to go to school, not that it wasn't a great idea, I didn't want to. Not after yesterday, Gia wouldn't stop tugging at my mind. “You lustful thing, haven't you had a taste of him?!” I yelled at her, tugging at my hair, wishing that I could just pull
Amy's POV The pack, school, everyone treated me like a ghost after that…Not that I wasn't used to being isolated, but being isolated for a reason hit different this time.They didn’t bully me—oh no, that would be too easy. Instead, they whispered when I passed, their voices low and pitiful, their
°Amy’s POV°The sound of my own heartbeat was so loud. My hands trembled as I clutched the sheets around me, my bare toes curling against the carpet. I shot up from the bed so fast the mattress bounced behind me.He stood there, only a few steps away, the muscles in his jaw tightening. His fingers
