I heard a knock on the door and my initial thought was what do people have against sleep in this house but when I saw it was almost eleven a.m. I figured that my exhaustion got the better of me. The last time I slept in so late I was still in school. Thalia was already sitting in bed as I rubbed my eyes while the sun came through the window.

"Who is it?" I ask as I cover my legs with the blanket.

"It's Jeffrey. May I come in?" What is it now? Does the Luna need me again? She can't very well yell at me in front of Atlas so maybe she wants to do it in private now.

"Yes, Jeffrey. Come in." The door swiftly opens and Jeffrey strolls in with maids carrying shopping bags and boxes and placing them on the couch and the little table on the side.

"What is all of this?" I ask.

"Master Atlas ordered we get both you and Miss Thaila some new clothes and anything else you might need. If there is anything you might not like just say the word and our staff will exchange it." Atlas told them to g

  • 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

  • The Forsaken   Chapter 48

    The morning after is always the quietest.The storm inside me hasn't gone anywhere, but at least now I know which way it's pulling. I pull my sweater tighter around my shoulders as I stand by the mirror, staring at myself like I'm supposed to recognize the girl looking back. Strong. Brave. Determined. Goddess, I wish I felt like any of those things.Saf’s presence is a gentle hum in the back of my mind, a low, constant pulse of reassurance. She's calm. Which is more than I can say for myself.Behind me, the door creaks open."You're up early," Thalia says, leaning against the frame with a steaming mug in her hand. Her hair's a mess yet she wears it so beautifully, the clothes Atlas got us suit the new her. Tho I never saw her wear that much black before."I'm not sure I even slept." Not after the rude awakening I had. Atlas stood by my side until Thalia came back with the tea. I had a few sips and spent the night staring at the ceiling. "But neither did you. I know this new wave of ene

    "Even I don’t know what I’m to face,” Kaya says, her voice steady despite the storm brewing behind her eyes. “But I do know where to start."I take a step closer, watching the way her shoulders square themselves, the way her chin lifts like she's walking into a fight she’s already accepted she might lose.“Where?” I ask, even though I already feel the answer coiling in my gut like a warning.Kaya doesn’t look at me. Her gaze stays fixed on the night outside, as if she's speaking more to the dark than to me. “When I was younger,” she begins, “I spent hours reading. Old books, dusty ones no one else wanted. I was obsessed with history, especially late werewolf history, the forgotten kind.”That catches me off guard. “Late history?”She nods. “The kind they don’t teach anymore. The kind they buried.”There’s something haunting in the way she says it, something ancient and worn. Her fingers clench the windowsill like she’s holding onto the edge of a memory that still burns.“I remember a p

    I bolt upright.It’s not just a sound, it’s a shockwave that rips through the calm and hits me square in the chest. It’s her. I don’t even think, my wolf is already lunging forward in my mind, claws unsheathed, heart racing like war drums. My feet are moving before I even know where I’m going.I burst into the hallway, my senses flaring, Sky snapping to life with a roar in my head. The moment I reach her door, it’s already swinging open from the force of my shoulder slamming into it.Thalia is standing in front of the window, blocking Kaya's path. When Kaya lunges forward, Thaila pushes her back with a force that slams her body against the wooden frame of the bed, dropping her to her knees. I step in front of Thaila, using my body as a shield between her and Kaya."I wasn't trying to hurt her," Thaila says. "I was trying to stop her from going out the window... again." She says, and I turn to look at Kaya, slowly getting up from the floor as if waking up. "She was in that trance again.

    The air in the room shifts when Kaya stands, breaking the comfortable stillness between us. I feel the weight of her footsteps lingering in my chest. I stay on the couch, staring at the space where she was just moments ago, her warmth still faintly radiating on the cushion next to me.I know she’s still sorting through everything, trying to figure out what I mean, what she means to me. But even if she doesn’t have the answers yet, there’s something in the way she trusts me that makes me believe in what we have. Even in silence, I know she’s here with me, in a way that no one else ever has been.Sky, however, doesn’t give me the space to wallow in the quiet for too long."Claim her." His voice is a growl inside my mind, not angry but demanding, like the undercurrent of a storm. "She’s yours. Ours. The moon goddess gave you the soulmate bond, she wouldn't see you wrong for claiming it."I rub a hand over my face, trying to shake off the weight of his words, but it’s not working. There’s

    The kiss didn’t fix anything. But it softened something that had been sharp between us. We didn't speak much after. We didn’t need to. The silence was warmer now, draped over us like a shared blanket rather than a wall. We sat on opposite ends of the couch, knees close enough to touch, sharing the last of the pasta from the pot like two kids who forgot what being guarded felt like.When I glance over at him, I notice how relaxed he looks. And being near him like this, it brings a stillness to my chest I didn’t realize I’d been searching for.Peace.That's what it is.Not fireworks or soul-deep magic. Not the invisible thread of fate that everyone says soulmates should feel. Just quiet, steady peace. And goddess, I didn’t know how much I’d been missing that.Saf stirs gently inside my mind, not her usual cheeky self.“You feel it, don’t you? Even if it’s not the bond. He calms the storm in you.”I nod to myself, then turn to him.“Atlas,” I say softly, and he lifts his head like he alre
