Emory

Breakfast was supposed to be like a background noise. A formality. A routine rather. Toast, coffee, a few words exchanged before school, then me and the twins, out the door.

But today, the air at the breakfast table was heavy. The clock ticked slower. My phone kept lighting up, not with the name I wanted, but with meaningless pings I didn’t care about. Still, I kept checking. I swiped up and down, hoping Rain would finally answer.

Then Kol’s voice cut through like a blade. “Put the phone down.”

It was not a request. It was a command.

“It’s important,” I muttered with my eyes still on the glow of the screen. “It’s about school.”

The legs of his chair scraped the floor as he leaned forward. “It can wait until after breakfast.”

“No, it can’t.”

His eyes narrowed, slow and deliberate. “It can.”

My jaw tightened. I placed the phone down on the table face down. That thud was more noticeable than it was supposed to. Meanwhile, Gina was smiling across the room at me, the kind of smile sh

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   A Presentation Without Rain

    EmoryThe entire family had gathered downstairs for breakfast. Toast. Coffee. Cutleries clicking against the other. Gina and Mina bickering occasionally to fill the silence. I never liked it, but I tolerated it, because routine was safer than drama.But this morning, the air was different. It was clear that I was at odds with my parents.I went down the stairs, hanging my bags over my shoulder and still feeling the hurt of the past days in my bones. The shouting. The slammed door. The look on Aria’s face before I shut her out. I didn’t want to think about it, but it hung in the back of my mind and it wouldn’t clear.The entire family had sat down. Kol at table head, Agatha by his side, the twins opposite each other. There as well, cool and collected, was Aria, with her eyes going to me as soon as I entered.I did not sit. I went straight up to the table, and took a plate placed there for me, and stuffed it into my bag without saying a word.The first person to talk to me was Kol. “Emo

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   A Wound That Doesn’t Close

    AriaThe next morning after my encounter with Emory came quickly than I hoped it to. But it didn’t feel like morning.The curtains allowed the sunlight to shine some warmth but I could not feel it. There I was in bed, sitting up with covers up to my waist, staring. I could not stop thinking about it since last night.The door. The sound of it slamming in my face.Emory’s eyes before it closed, so sharp, so unforgiving. He had always been the one person who softened toward me when Kol wouldn’t. The one who smiled when the others turned away. The one who gave me hope that I wasn’t as hated as I felt.And now he looked at me like I was evil.My hand lay on my chest and where the pain lay heavy. It was like a sore that could not heal.“I had done it to save him,” I thought again. “I did it because I had to.“But the words sounded thinner every time I repeated them. Because truly, I did it to protect myself.Kol adjusted beside me, still half-asleep. He brushed his hands against mine as th

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   Heavy Burdens

    KolI stood in front of her door, debating whether to knock or not. I don’t know what made me go to Mina’s room that day. Maybe it was my instinct. Then again, maybe it was guilt. Maybe because she’d been quieter than usual, and when she defended Emory against her sister, that said something. Silence was her nature, but lately it was different. Her silence was heavier.As I came to her door, I knocked.The door opened a crack and then again, and there stood Mina with a pale, blood shot face like she hadn’t slept in days.“Mina,” I said with all gentleness. “Can I come in?”She paused, and stepped back. I went in and she closed the door behind me.Her room smelled nice. Stacked on the desk neatly were her books. Her bedspread was tight on her mattress, with one crumpled corner where she had sat, probably, before I knocked.I turned to her. “What’s wrong?”She shook her head quickly. “Nothing.”“Don’t lie to me.” My voice hardened without meaning to. “Tell me.”Her throat bobbed. “Emory

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   The Door Between Us

    EmorySilence feels louder when you know people are keeping things from you.The entire household chattered with it now. Every glance, every hesitation, every partial reply was another nail in the coffin of my endurance.No one was saying why rain was gone. Not Mina. Not Kol. Not Aria.Especially not Aria. And I was sick of it.I was sitting in my room surrounded by crumpled notes and ripped sketches and with smears of charcoal on my fingers. I had drawn Rain a hundred times in the last week. Her face, her hair, the curve of her mouth. Then I tore each one apart until the floor was littered with pieces of her I couldn’t put back together.It was stupid. Useless. But I couldn’t stop. But I just did not stop. My wolf strained and snarled beneath my skin every single time I attempted to push her memory away.Rain didn’t leave me. At least not by choice. I knew it. And I was going to prove it.Breakfast was another performance.Agatha poured tea like she was trying too hard not to glare a

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   A Silence I Didn’t Like

    EmoryRain was gone for good.That thought lived under my skin now. She was gone, and no matter how many times I called, texted, begged through a screen, the answer was the same. Silence.I hated silence.It wasn’t empty. It was heavy. Sometimes I wanted to just scare a so I could hear my own voice and drown out the silence.I stared at the half-ruined canvas leaning against the wall. Her face was still there, in shadows and light, in the strokes I hadn’t slashed through yet. I grabbed a brush and dragged black across her smile until it disappeared. Then I threw the brush. The splatter hit the wall like blood.Just then, a soft knock came at the door. I didn’t answer. But it opened anyway. Mina came in, quiet as always.She lingered in the doorway like she was afraid of stepping too far into my world. “Hey,” she said softly.I turned my back to her, shoving papers into a drawer. “What?”“I just wanted to check on you.”“I’m fine.”“You don’t look fine.”I spun, snapping harder than I

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   What I Carry

    MinaI’ve always been quiet and it was not because they wanted me to be. It was not because anyone told me to sit down, shut up, stay small. No. I chose silence.Because it seemed like everyone in this family thrived on breaking each other, and nothing I said was ever going to fix it. They wanted their chaos. Their sharp words. Their silences that weren’t really silent at all. So I went quiet, the way you do when you realise no one actually wants peace.Sometimes I thought maybe that was my curse, seeing things too clearly.Mother with her bitterness, her sharp edges worn from weeks of fighting for scraps of Kol’s heart. Father with his pride, his wolf always hungry, always needing to be in control even when he pretended otherwise. Aria with her years of resentment for Kol’s new family and for Kol himself. I had never had a conversation with her to be honest. Then there’s Emory, with his resentment as well. My brother. My half-brother. I tried once, years ago, to be his little sister
