Jake

Coming back home after three weeks in the hospital felt strange, because I had almost died. On the first day, I didn’t know if I was going to live; on the second, I was just as scared as the first, and only on the third did I begin to feel a small hope of survival.

Death had stared me in the face. I knew I’d been close —too close— and even though a werewolf doctor insisted there was no venom left in my body, I still struggled to process that I was breathing at all. I had a cardiac arrest i

    ThomasThe apartment was far too quiet when we arrived.I had imagined being here differently—imagined a small place filled with life, with Kiara moving around, with the babies crying, making noise, filling every corner with something real. I had pictured chaos, warmth, interruptions… a life.But there was nothing.Only silence.Not the kind of silence you look for when you need to rest or think. Not the kind that comforts you. This was a hollow silence—heavy, uncomfortable. It crept into every corner, echoing inside my head, pressing against my chest. Since the moment we walked in, I hadn’t been able to get used to it.The absence of everything was unbearable.The walls felt narrower somehow. The air was different. There was no constant movement, no voices in the background, no footsteps echoing down a hallway. No presence of others, even in quiet moments.Just emptiness.I dropped my backpack near the couch and stood there for a few seconds, not really knowing what to do next.I had

    ThomasI never thought loving someone could hurt this much until I met Kiara.I always knew she hadn’t fully forgotten Jake. That truth had always lingered somewhere in the back of my mind, like a shadow I chose to ignore. But I never believed it would come to this. I told myself that if it ever did—if one day she chose him over me—I would be mature enough to understand it. I convinced myself I was prepared.After everything I had been through—the gunshot, the hospital, the constant feeling of standing on the edge between life and death, fighting for just one more day—I thought nothing could hit me harder than that. I thought I had already endured the worst kind of pain a person could feel.I was wrong.This… this was worse. Far worse than the bullet that had torn through my body. That pain had been physical, sharp, immediate—but it had an end. It could be numbed, treated, healed. What I felt now was something entirely different. This pain didn’t have a clear source I could touch or r

    KiaraI stayed a few more minutes in the room with the children, rocking the baby until her breathing became calm again. Ada loved her mom, and that made me happy. They were the only ones who could bring a smile to my face in that moment. Blake had calmed down, too, barely moving in his crib, unaware of everything happening in the living room. At least that was something. I preferred that they never felt a situation this tense again.When I was sure they wouldn’t wake up again, I carefully stood and left the room, closing the door softly so I wouldn’t make any noise.I didn’t really want to go out. I didn’t want to step back into the chaos, but I couldn’t use my children as a refuge either. I had to face what was happening. Jake was down there alone with his mother, dealing with a situation I was also largely responsible for.Jake stood in the middle of the room, looking toward the stairs, watching his mother come down.I followed his gaze.Juliette walked to the door, holding a suitc

    KiaraThomas had finally left the house, no matter how hard I tried to stop him. I tried to convince him, but it was useless. He had already made his decision. I stood there staring at the door for a while, hoping he would change his mind, as if I expected it to open again, as if at any moment Thomas would come back and somehow everything could return to normal. It didn’t happen, of course.The silence left behind in the house was louder than the noise of the party and the shouting from earlier. It was incredible how everything suddenly felt so dead.I felt Juliette’s presence before she spoke. I didn’t have to turn around to know she was there, standing, staring at the door her son had just walked out of. She was crying, afraid that something might happen to Thomas.“Excellent. Are you happy now?” she asked.She didn’t shout. She didn’t raise her voice. But she looked at us with resentment.I slowly turned. Jake stood a few steps behind me, his body tense, as if he already expected h

    KiaraI heard footsteps on the stairs before I saw him, and I knew it was Thomas coming down. There was no mistaking his steps. He looked completely determined to leave, and I knew I had to act fast if I wanted to convince him to stay at least one more night.Where was he going in the middle of the night? Where could he go on his own?I looked up.He was coming down with a backpack slung over his shoulder and two more in his hands. He wasn’t carrying much, but enough that he wouldn’t have to come back.“Thomas…” I said softly.He didn’t respond. He kept walking down, not looking at me, his gaze fixed on the last step.Jake stood beside me, still, his arms tense, watching everything without interfering, and I was grateful he didn’t step in.I took a step forward.“Thomas, wait.”He didn’t look at me.When he reached the last step, he finally lifted his gaze. His eyes passed over me for barely a second before shifting to the door. God… he was really going to leave. He wasn’t bluffing.T

    JakeThe party was full of people from the company: assistants, receptionists, partners, and cleaning staff. The organization of the event was something my assistants handled because I didn’t have time to think about parties. I didn’t like them, to be honest, but my mother and father always hosted

    Jake I was reviewing some reports when my assistant knocked on the office door and peeked inside. “Your mother is here. She says she needs to talk to you.” I immediately looked up. It wasn’t common for my mother, Juliette, to show up at the company without notice, much less asking to speak with
