LOGINKiara:It’s been five days since that night when Jake and Thomas rescued me from that horrible place. I’ve been having nightmares at night whenever I think about what I went through. I truly felt like I could die at any moment. When they told me they would only hold me and then let me go, I didn’t believe it. I thought I would spend my nights in that awful old house… but they came for me. They didn’t abandon me. Even so, I don’t feel completely safe. Today I’m free, but tomorrow I might not be...This morning, Jake came to the hospital to pick up my children and me. The four of us will go live in a completely new house, at least temporarily. My mother-in-law will come with us too. Jake wants to keep us all together, protected, away from any threat.I won’t lie… I felt deeply uncomfortable leaving Thomas hospitalized. Every part of me screamed to stay with him, not to leave him alone in that state. But the last few times I spoke to him, he asked me again and again not to do that, not t
Jake:“Did you divorce Irina? Why?” my brother asked, struggling to stay awake. His voice was fading, but he insisted on continuing to speak.“It’s not something I’d like to talk about with you,” I admitted.“Not even going to tell me in the state I’m in?”I hesitated for a moment before answering. I didn’t want his questions, didn’t want his opinion, didn’t want his eyes on mine as he tried to figure out why I'd decided to accept the divorce. But still, I told him.“What happened is that I asked Irina if she had anything to do with it… and she got so angry that she asked me for a divorce.”“So you weren’t the one who decided to divorce. She was the one who took that path,” Thomas clarified.“Yes, it was her, Thomas. But I was the one who decided that this time I wouldn’t chase after her. It’s not the first time Irina has asked me to separate, and I go after her, trying to fix things. But I realized this can’t keep happening between us.”“And why is that?” Thomas’s gaze deepened. “Doe
KiaraHis hands slowly slid down my neck and settled on my hips. He held me firmly, because I knew that at any moment I might collapse. The kiss was so intoxicating, so full of passion, that I wanted more. My body betrayed me, my body craved more than just a kiss… and once again, guilt began to consume me, but I couldn’t help it. I couldn’t deny the instinct inside me. Love and anger pulled at me constantly. It wasn’t strange that I couldn’t forget Jake, and with this kiss, he only made everything more complicated.In the middle of our moment, the passion ended instantly when someone burst through the door. Jake pulled away from me abruptly, and we both looked at Rose, who stood by the doorway, having entered without knocking. Jake looked at her, annoyed, but it wasn’t her fault. Still, it bothered me that she knew Jake and me had kissed. It bothered me because she was part of the pack and could tell someone else, and this could reach Thomas if he was awake. I didn’t want to hurt him
KiaraSo this meant he wasn’t sure about what was happening, and he didn’t trust me. Even seeing me broken, he still doubted my words. As I said, I didn’t want to try to convince him anymore that I was right and that my sister was the bad one. That was no longer my fight. But he had divorced her. One way or another, that gave me some relief. Not because of the love I felt for him, but because I knew that this way my children would be far from Irina, and my babies would be safe. Still, this didn’t erase all the danger, because Irina would come back for more. She always would. The enemy made that clear to me. The enemy told me she was evil, that she was behind all of this.“Please, try to understand me, Kiara,” Jake said. “It’s not that I don’t want to believe you, it’s that it’s hard for me to see Irina as someone bad. She’s been there for me. You see? She lost the baby. She was affected too. I truly believe you’re telling the truth, but I also think someone has been deceiving you, fil
KiaraSeeing her walk into the room so shamelessly while Thomas was fighting for his life poisoned my blood in a way I couldn’t even explain.Rage was pouring out of me from every direction. I attacked, but as always, he stopped me. Jake broke up the fight and got in the middle.When he left the room and didn’t come back, I felt a deep emptiness.My heart stopped when he returned an hour and a half later. I felt the urge to insult him because I was sure he would believe her. I was certain she had tangled him up in another web of lies.Why would Jake believe me? I told him back in that house, and he looked at me as if I had said the worst thing in the world.I noticed he looked sad, pale, his eyes slightly red.Had he been crying?“What happened?” slipped from my lips.Rose was by my side, and Jake asked her to leave and speak with one of his Betas.She closed the door behind her.“We need to talk.”“Did he die?” I felt the anguish building in my eyes.I wanted to cry so badly.This ha
JakeI let her go.As much as I tried to follow her down the hallway, she shouted at me in front of everyone to leave her alone. I had no choice. I think there was nothing left but to accept her decision this time. Something had broken, and she was right when she said I would never love her the way I loved Kiara. I couldn’t deny it anymore. Every reproach and every absence Irina endured because of me was because my feelings for the mother of my children always got in the way.I swallowed the lump in my throat as I watched her disappear at the end of the hallway when she stepped into the elevator. She cast me a quick glance as she got in, sad and devastated.I turned around, noticing the few people around, and went back to the waiting room. Mom didn’t take long to appear alongside Jason, one of my Betas.“There’s news, son,” Mom said, hugging me. “He’ll be out of surgery soon, but they say they don’t think he’ll wake up for a few days.”“Are you telling me Thomas is in a coma?” I pulle
KiaraI woke up feeling a little better than the last few days. I felt more energetic. Not enough to stay on my feet for hours without getting dizzy, but at least I didn’t have persistent nausea anymore.Thomas brought me breakfast to the living room. Things were strange between us; we barely talke
Kiara Kiara was sleeping deeply on the couch, wrapped in a blanket that barely covered her belly. Her breathing was soft, steady, and every time she exhaled, a lock of her black hair brushed across her forehead. I watched her for a long while, longer than I should have. Something tightened in me
Kiara I woke up with a low groan, pulled out of sleep by a warm ache rising from my belly up to my chest. I blinked a few times before figuring out where I was. The room was dim, lit only by the small lamp on the nightstand. It smelled like medicine, clean clothes, and… something I couldn’t quite
Jake I came back home after being with Kiara and arguing with Thomas. My mind was still stuck on everything that happened today. On Kiara. I had left her sleeping, under Thomas’s care. I didn’t like it. His presence near her bothered me more than I wanted to admit. I kept watching how he looked
