The estate was too quiet. Not the type of silence that was soothing, but the one that made you feel that something was waiting to be said, something was holding back the next scream. Every room echoed. Each word spoken seemed heavier than it ought to be. There was a slight odor of smoke in the air, due to the fire that the guards had lit the night before to burn rogue remains. It hovered, evidence that there was no peace. It was exhaustion.

Downstairs, Rain could hear the sound of dishes, breakfast being prepared. She moved inside the hallways on her bare feet and her footsteps made no sound on the floor. Through the high windows came the morning light, and the floor was covered in pale gold. The house was the same as ever, although she could sense it, the movement, the crack beneath it all. They had all survived but something in them had not returned intact.

The ghosts had not yet stopped haunting the walls. Veylor’s voice. Kol’s cane striking the ground. Gunshot. The smell of

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   In the Redwood Shadows

    AuthorInside Redwood’s council, Alpha Ronen stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the long window as if the night itself might answer him. His jaw was clenched tight, too tight, because he already knew what the next messenger would say. He’d been waiting for it.The door creaked open. Two teachers from the Silver Crest Academy stepped inside, dripping rain onto the polished floor. Their expressions were tight with nerves, their posture stiff with the kind of fear people carried when they realized they had been sitting beside a ticking bomb.Ronen didn’t turn. “Report.”The older teacher, Ms. Harrin, swallowed. “Sir… it’s begun.”Another tremor passed through the room as thunder rolled overhead.Ronen inhaled sharply, but kept his eyes on the rain. “Tell me.”The younger teacher stepped forward. His voice was strained. “Isolde’s powers… whatever they are… are waking up. Sir, she caused a complete power failure in the east wing. Lights exploded above her. The residual readin

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   The Boy Who Watched

    EmoryI wasn’t sure when the cafeteria became the loudest place on earth. Maybe it always had been this loud, but that day it felt different. Noisy on the outside, empty on the inside. Just like me. I balanced my tray in one hand and scanned the room automatically. I used to do it out of habit, instinct, because Kol taught me to map a space the second I walked into it. Now I did it for one reason only. To avoid her. Isolde Vale. The girl who didn’t matter, who shouldn’t have any kind of gravity around her, but somehow did. I spotted Mina first. She was in the back corner, the same place she used sit sometimes, half in shadow, scribbling in that journal she thought no one noticed. She saw me coming but didn’t close it this time. That was new. I dropped into the seat across from her. “You usually sit here when you wanna be alone. Where’s Gina?” I asked, glancing at the empty chair beside her. Mina only shrugged, eyes still on her notebook. “Probably convincing someone to

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   Redwood’s Lie

    EliasI arrived at Redwood under the kind of night wolves instinctively avoid, moonless, starless, too still. Even the guards patrolling the border looked uneasy. And yet, when I stepped out of the car, they greeted me with calm professionalism, like the estate wasn’t built on a foundation of secrets older than some packs.I told the Alpha I was here on “personal business,” and he didn’t question it. He probably assumed it was about Isolde Vale. The girl whose existence they denied with too much insistence.Good. I needed them to underestimate my determination.Past the mansion of the Alpha, past the pack houses, past the publicly viewable medical wing. I continued until I came to the deserted building at the very end of Redwood, with its closed windows, mosses growing in its side, the type of building that nature attempts to re-possess in a very short time, like ridding itself of it.My familiarity with the building was because of the old Council maps: REDWOOD AUXILIARY MEDICAL SITE

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   Rumours And Reverberations

    AuthorEmory had fainted days ago, and yet, he wondered why it was now that Jews of his fainting had began to spark more than it should have.Some students said he collapsed because he hadn’t eaten. Others claimed it was PTSD from “the incident last year,” though none of them knew what the incident was, only that it had been serious enough for the Council to shut down public records. A few whispered things far darker, curse, possession, trauma so deep it seeped through his bloodstream.No one dared ask him directly. Emory walked down corridors with set shoulders, a fixed chin, and his eyes were out there way out of lockers and text books and teenage conversation. A survivor among a group of teenagers who were not aware of what it meant to survive.And after those gossips came still a second name.Isolde Vale.She didn't hear it at first. Her head was bent down with her textbooks clasped to her bosom. But whispers know how to get to the people they are meant for.“Is it not the girl he

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   Unspoken Agreements

    Aria The ride back to Redwood was like going back through time, but it was not of the comforting type, but one which pokes above the ribs and bides its time. Kol made half the distance in silence, which was not normal. The man wanted the wheel tonight, and his jaw was set, and his fingers were stiff, too tight, on the steering.I was watching the forest pass by the passenger window and the dark trunks passing by me as well.Every question I wanted to ask felt like I’d be chewing glass.Why did Redwood lie? Why hide a girl who clearly exists? And why does that girl echo Rain in ways that are impossible?But Kol was already drowning in thoughts of his own. I saw it in the set of his mouth, in the way his eyes kept flicking to the rear-view mirror like he expected a shadow to follow us home.When we reached the estate gates, Elias was already outside, leaning against the stone archway, arms crossed, face carved somewhere between concern and anticipation. He had gotten back before us. He

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   Fragments in the Water

    AuthorIsolde Vale took a long time in waking up. The room in the dorm was dark, and was illuminated by the pale winter sun that was streaming through half-closed blinds. Her roommate, Maren, had already taken her departure, she always rose early, hardly greeted her, and never inquired of where Isolde went at night when nightmares caused her to sit up till the sky grew pale.The air felt heavy today…Isolde was standing before the mirror with her half-buttoned uniform shirt and was glaring at herself in the mirror as though she was expecting it to inform her what she was expected to be. She was just an average-looking person, with her hair pushed back, a pack on one arm, the slightest tints under her eyes. She looked ordinary. but in her heart she felt that she was not.Ordinary people did not experience memories as a shattered glass, flashing light, pieces, fragments that do not belong to their life.Ordinary individuals did not paint the faces of strangers flawlessly, right up to th
