We are all under lockdown while the high-ups investigate the scene. The air around us is thick with tension.

“One nap and a murder happen. How much more unlucky do I have to be?” The guy who I have come to know as Steve mumbles to himself while constantly checking the time on his phone. Turns out he has a set of very strict parents.

I get his worry.

The door opens and a guard walks in. His gaze sweeps over each one of us like we were all criminals. He begins to question everyone separately.

“I went to the Cafeteria with her. You can ask Miss Lily, she was there as well” The blonde girl answered, pointing at Maria.

I frown, so she went to the Cafe while I took a nap? And didn't even bring anything.

“Anyone else who went to the Cafe?” He asked, earning a ‘no’ from everyone.

“You both will stay till the CCTV footage is checked,” He tells Maria and the other girl.

Just then another man walks into the room, hair long & dark, eyes brown. And face, a mask of unreadable expression; radiating

    The words hit me like a physical blow. I blink once.“What?” My voice comes out too soft. He turns to face me.“You heard me.” His eyes are strangely hollow. “You can’t have both. If you’re planning to run back to him…” He swallows. “then tell me now so I can prepare the kids.”Prepare them for what? For losing the only mother they’ve ever known? For watching their world split apart?My heart twists painfully.“I… gave them birth” I whisper.“That’s not an answer,” he shoots back.I look away, my throat tight. Images flash behind my eyes. Cherry’s laughter, Killian’s small hand in mine, the way they curl into me when they’re scared.I can’t abandon them. Not after raising them for five years. Not after the accident, the nights of fever, their first steps, their first words, their nightmares. Not after becoming the only softness in their world.But I also can’t live a lie. Carlos is what my heart desires. My life at the Pack, my world different from the human ones.“What happened to my

    MELANIE:Liam’s eyes flick between me and the open closet. My heart thuds watching the look in his eyes.“What are you doing?” He asks deeply, voice controlled in a way that leaves me even more suspicious of everything.“Why did you run away from our house like that? Do you realize how your behavior worried the kids?” He asks, stepping forward, his eyes moving carefully towards my hand that's hovering above the secret drawer.“Must you act so crazy?” He snaps. A knot forms in my throat, unable to come up with an answer.“Melanie, I'm talking to you. Get up, we are going back home” He says sternly.“Melanie” He repeats.“No” I whisper, more to myself than to him.“I must… find what's happening” I mutter, my heart aches painfully like something is being pulled apart.“There's nothing to find. What you need is rest, a break from everything” He says, moving closer, “Maybe a trip to Europe? Or Thailand since you love the food?”“I don't want a trip. I want answers. I want this confusion to

    MELANIE:The look on Carlos face is something that pulls at my heart strings but I don't let it get to me. He said it himself, to not bother him again. I don't have it in me to put myself through another humiliation just because I feel a little attracted to him, just because I feel lonely.Besides, I will never be ‘Sofia’ just because I look like her.I turn my gaze to Liam who looks relieved with my decision. I force a smile and his eyes light up. He is my husband, wanting to fix things and I will let him.“You don't remember anything after the earthquake?” Carlos’ voice makes me look at him with a frown.“What?” I murmur, not getting what exactly he meant.He just stares at me, something unsettles in the pit of my stomach. The familiar noises from outside the door averts my attention. The door opens and my kids run inside while calling for me. The driver stops at the door.My heart eases seeing their unharmed little bodies.“Mommy!”“My babies. Are you hurt?” I can't help but ask.“

    My eyes flutter open, the throb is still there but not as crucial as before. I sit up, looking around the hospital room. Carlos is nowhere around. It stings my heart but the moment, flashback of the earthquake hits me, my worry for my children takes over. Oh God, they were at school. Liam probably is at his building dealing with the mess— if there was any. My children must be scared. I climb down the bed, look at the IV, almost ready to pull it out but the door opens behind me.“Dear, what are you doing out of the bed?”I look behind, a nurse probably in her late thirties is there looking at me with concern. “Please take it off. I need to see my children” I request. She walks over, places her hand on my shoulders and insists I sit down.“You need to let the—I shake my head, cutting her off urgently, “My children are alone. They need me. Take it off or I'm pulling it out anyway” I reach for the IV again but she stops me.“Okay, okay. Calm down” she says, doing it herself carefully.

    MELANIE:My hands haven’t stopped trembling since I got behind the wheel. The world outside the windshield feels like it’s moving too fast, too bright, too alive but everything inside of me isn’t.I got his office address from my assistant and try to calm my nerves but the closer I get to the address, the more my pulse throbs.I park the car and step out, glancing at the building before walking inside.The elevator ride up to his office feels endless. Every floor number that lights up feels heavier, like I’m climbing toward a truth I’m not ready for.When the doors open, I step out into an empty corridor that leads to the office. I inhale a deep breath before knocking twice then push open the door softly.Carlor is there, standing by the glass wall, looking out over the city.He turns and his eyes land on me, flickering with surprise first then something guarded.“Melanie” he says groggily like my name tastes bad on his tongue. “What are you doing here?”I swallow hard. “I need to tal

    MELANIE:Cherry’s laughter rings through the living room, high and bright. Killian sits cross-legged on the carpet beside her, carefully fitting puzzle pieces together like he is trying to solve something bigger than the picture on the box.I pour milk into their glasses, watching the pale swirl as if it can drown out the quiet pulse behind my eyes.Liam left somewhere else after dinner and I was glad he did because his sudden change in actions is unsettling.“Mommy,” Cherry calls, “I finished it!”She beams up at me, cheeks flushed, messy hair everywhere. I smile back, kneeling beside her.“That’s beautiful, baby.”She nods proudly and reaches for my hand, her tiny fingers warm against mine.Darkness engulfs me. It’s sudden, like a door slamming open in my mind.For a heartbeat, I’m not in the living room anymore. I see sunlight filtering through trees, hear laughter, my own but not like now. It’s much softer.Then a face.Blue eyes. That same quiet intensity that always makes my che
