The Forsaken Chapter 54
The question lingers in the air like smoke, curling around my ribs and settling somewhere I didn’t give it permission to touch.“Is it too late?”I wish I could laugh. I wish I could cry. I wish I could scream at him for asking now, only now, when things have already shifted beneath my feet, when Atlas’s touch is still warm on my skin, when my life is already wound tight around choices I made and the ones I'm about to make.But the worst part, the one that makes my stomach twist and my heart stutter, is that I don’t know the answer.Cole stands there, still and quiet and waiting. He’s not asking for permission to rewrite the past. He’s asking if there’s any version of a future where we aren’t strangers.Saf exhales in my head, tired. Almost... sad. “I hate how he does this to you,” she murmurs. “How he still makes you hope and doubt, all for nothing. He is not for us.”The words echo louder than Cole’s question.Saf isn’t cruel. She’s many things, sharp, blunt, insufferably honest, b

"You lied," Saf says. "You said you stopped fantasizing about Cole a long time ago, but you still waited for him to come back." Something she never understood. "You held onto an illusion." "Will you stop?" I ask her as I walk down the hall. The smell of warm bread is already hitting my nose, and I latch onto it like it might anchor me back in the present.She’s quiet for a beat, just long enough for me to hope she’s gone. But Saf never leaves when things get uncomfortable. "I’m not trying to hurt you," she says more gently this time. "But I'm stuck with feeling whatever emotions come through you, and that hope you have about Cole being this realization of love is suffocating."Her words slice through the warm haze of the hallway, sharper than they have any right to be.“I’m stuck with it,” she continues. “With the ache in your chest when you think of him. With the way your pulse shifts when someone just mentions his name. You think you’ve buried it deep enough, but it’s still there.

"And Atlas said yes?" Thalia asks me as I get out of the shower and head for my closet. Her voice floats in from the other side of the room, amused and a little incredulous."What am I thinking?" she adds before I can answer. "Of course, he said yes. It’s you."I smirk, towel wrapped around me as I dig through the hangers, steam still clinging to my skin."Why would he say no? It's not even his decision. This is my quest, not his.""Uh-huh," she says, clearly not buying it. "Because that’s how you two work, just clean, logical boundaries, no feelings, no bond whatsoever. Totally healthy.""We found an understanding," I say as I put a shirt over my head. I step into a pair of black jeans, tug them up, and glance at her over my shoulder. “What do you want me to say?”“Oh, I don’t know,” she says, kicking her legs up on the bed like she’s settling in for a show. "Tell me about Cole. You never mentioned him to me when you came to the city.""There wasn't really much to tell," I say as I p
The Forsaken Chapter 51
Atlas steps forward before I can say a word. His voice is low, hard-edged. "You what now?" The tension between them crackles sharp enough to split bone. I clear my throat before either of them throws a punch or shifts out of spite."I met a witch, years ago, before I left. She lives close to the border, only on our side." A witch living in the werewolf territory, and she managed to survive between them. How? The second they would sniff her out, it would be her end. And why did Cole help her? But more importantly..."And you think she can help me?" I ask, but Atlas lifts his hand, stopping Cole from answering."If you knew of a witch on our territory, why didn't you report it?" Atlas questions him. Honestly, I want to know the answer too.Cole doesn’t flinch under Atlas’s stare, but there’s a shadow that moves behind his eyes. A flicker of guilt, or memory, or both.“I should have,” he admits, voice low, but steady. “But she wasn’t a threat. She never crossed into the inner zones. She
The Forsaken Chapter 50
“You were left to be found,” Dad says carefully, but there’s no conviction behind the words.“There’s a difference?” I ask, looking between their faces. “Because from where I’m sitting, it sounds like whoever left me had no intention of coming back.” Atlas's hand comes to find mine and gives it a tight squeeze. His hand is warm, grounding. It anchors me, keeps me from floating off into the dizzying chaos that’s building inside me. The kind of chaos that comes when your whole life starts to tilt on its axis. But Cole's gaze burns into me, as if he were studying Atlas's touch on me."Could you give us the exact location?" Atlas asks. "Which side of the Hollow Pines? How close to the border?" Mom and Dad look at each other, then back at Atlas. As if they doubt letting go of that information.Mom shifts first, her hand resting on the edge of the coffee table like she needs to feel something solid. Dad leans back slightly, arms crossed now, guarded. Not hostile, but cautious. "Directly on
The Forsaken Chapter 49
Atlas walks beside me, his hands in his pockets, his gaze fixed ahead, but I can feel him watching me in the way his steps never fall too far behind or too far ahead. Constant. Steady.“I thought it’d feel worse coming back here,” I murmur.“And does it?” he asks, without turning.“Not yet,” I say, though the air already feels different. Charged. Like the house itself is holding its breath.We round the last bend, and there it is, tucked between old ash trees and the overgrown garden my mother never let die. The porch light is on. The front door is slightly ajar, the familiar smell of mother's cooking reaching my nose."I just... dont know how to..." I started, but my words fell short."You dont know how to question them about your past, when they have given you all." Atlas says. "You dont want to sound ungrateful or hurt them." It's like he knew how I felt and expressed it with words I was missing."You know... like a soulmate would," Saf says, and I bite the inside of my cheek. "Or
