MasukI couldn’t stop thinking about the blood.It sat at the back of my mind all morning, no matter what I tried to do. Even when I called Kai.“How are you feeling?” I asked, pressing the phone closer to my ear as I paced my room.“A lot better than I've felt in years.” he said.“I shouldn't have left like that.” There was a small pause, then a soft chuckle. “You worry too much.”I sat on my reading table.I closed my eyes for a second. I wanted to tell him about the blood. About what happened last night. But the words didn’t come out.Everything I had read—everything I knew about wolves like that…weren’t normal. They were always hunted and feared.They brought trouble. “I’ll come see you later,” I said instead.“Alright.”We stayed on the call a few seconds longer before I hung up.I stared at my phone. Then at my drawer.My chest tightened again. I couldn't even draw another blood until next month. What if Kai relapses before then. According to the books I've read. The blood can only
DariusThe scent hit me before I even stepped inside.Blood. Not just any blood. Lianne’s.I paused at the door. My hand still on the handle.Why would there be blood in her room? My jaw tightened as I pushed the door open.The room was empty. But the scent was fresh and faint.I stepped in slowly, closing the door behind me.My eyes scanned the space. Nothing looked out of place. It didn't seem like she was in trouble.I followed the scent until I stopped in front of her closet. I pulled the drawer open and there it was.A small container with dark red blood in it. My chest tightened slightly.Why would she keep her blood? My mind raced quickly. There was another scent that I couldn't describe. It wasn’t just blood. There was something else in it. I picked it up.The moment I did, my wolf reacted with something I couldn't name. My grip tightened around the container.Could this be related to the library. It was strange that she suddenly went there and came back to store blood in a c
LianneI didn’t sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw it again. The glow and the way Kai just stopped hurting.By morning, my head was pounding. I got up anyway. Staying in that room wasn’t going to help.I took a shower and prepared to go to my part time job. It wasn't my shift yet but I wanted to speak to my boss first and maybe take some more time off.The moment I opened the door, I knew I wasn’t alone. Darius was leaning against the wall, arms crossed.Cassius stood a few steps away, pacing like he hadn’t slept either.Lucian was by the window. Watching me.“You didn’t sleep,” Lucian said.I walked past them. “Neither did you.”“No one sleeps when their mate disappears for so many hours and come back looking like a mess.” Cassius muttered.I ignored that.“Where are you going?” Darius asked.I didn’t stop walking. “Out.”Footsteps followed immediately. I sighed.“I’m going to the library,” I said, turning slightly. “Not running away.” I didn't want them to know that I wanted
LianneThe moment my feet hit the ground, I didn’t stop.Cold air rushed past me as I ran deeper into the trees. I didn’t look back. I didn’t want to.“Found you.”My steps froze. I turned slowly.Lysa stood a few steps behind me, arms crossed, like she had been waiting all along. Her lips curved into a small smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes.“I knew it,” she said, tilting her head. “You were never the obedient type.”I said nothing.My chest was still tight from earlier. From everything.“What do you want, Lysa?” I asked.She walked closer, her boots crunching lightly against the ground. “Relax. I’m not here to drag you back.”I didn’t believe her for a second.“You think I don’t understand?” she continued. “Being forced into a mate bond like that… especially with them.”Something in her tone felt weird.“I get it,” she said softly. “It’s not something you can just accept overnight.”I frowned slightly, studying her face. “Since when do you care?”She shrugged. “Since always. You j
Kaelion Once I was sure that she was fine, I dragged my broken body back to my villa.Something was off. I could feel it. Usually my joints didn't hurt so bad until few hours to the full moon.I sat on the couch, trying to ignore it, but the feeling in my body wouldn’t go away. I coughed into my fist and pulled my hand away, my eyes falling on the blood sitting on my palm.I sighed and wiped it on my shirt. Leaning back into the couch, I closed my eyes but then my fingers twitched.At first, it was just uncomfortable. Then it became more intense. It spread through my hand so fast it made me suck in a sharp breath.My fingers started bending, slowly, like something inside them was forcing them out of place.“No… no…” I whispered.Another crack followed, louder. I grabbed the edge of the couch, trying to steady myself, but it didn’t help.The pain climbed up my wrist and into my arm. It felt like my bones were shifting under my skin, like they were trying to become something else.A s
Lianne I didn’t know how long I had been asleep. Or what even happened.But when I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw made my chest tighten.The triplets.All three of them were standing around my bed. Watching me.One of them moved closer. His hand lifted, like he wanted to touch me.I flinched. “Dont— don't touch me.” The disgust came fast but I forced my face to stay blank.Something flashed in Lucian’s eyes. Hurt? I didn’t care.“What are you doing in my room?” I asked, my voice came out dry.“You were unconscious all night,” Lucian said. His voice was softer than the others. “We were worried.”I looked away from him. “I’m fine now,” I said, my teeth clenched. “You can leave.”Darius shifted beside him. I could feel it. He didn’t like my tone.Cassius looked worse. His jaw was tight like he was holding himself back.“Here,” Lucian said, stepping closer. “Take this. The doctor left it for you.”I glanced at the pills in his hand. I took them, swallowed, and opened my mouth slig
KaelionI checked my phone again. No message. That wasn’t like Lianne.She always called me before heading to her part-time job. Even if it was just a short call. She didn't like wasn't money on transportation, so I'll always drop her off whenever I'm free.I stared at the screen, then dialed her n
Lucian The crash from the door snapped every head in the room toward it. My wolf rose instantly.Cassius was already growling low in his throat. Darius’ shoulders stiffened beside me, his aura leaking into the room like a storm waiting to break.The door creaked open wider. Two figures stood there
Cassius The moment she collapsed something inside me snapped. I caught her before she hit the ground. Her body was too light, too cold.“Lianne.” I called gently.No response.My wolf snarled violently inside my head. Mate.“I know she’s our mate!” I barked back.Darius stepped closer, his aura su
Darius The noise from the party was extremely annoying. I didn't want to be here but my parents had insisted that I and my brothers attend.In addition to Lysa’s birthday, they were also having a farewell party. After today, they would no longer take part in the decision making of the pack.My bro
