로그인Ronnie’s POVThe ride back to the pack felt longer than it should have.Painfully long.The car moved smoothly down the road, the soft hum of the engine filling the silence between me and the chauffeur Nolan had assigned to drive me back.I sat quietly by the window, my hands resting tightly on my lap.The familiar roads leading into the Silver Moon Pack slowly started appearing ahead, and the moment I saw the large gates in the distance, something inside me cracked all over again.Tears rolled down my face before I could stop them.I turned away quickly toward the window, hoping the chauffeur wouldn’t notice. Not because I cared what he thought, but because I was tired of looking weak.The pack buildings slowly came into view one after another.The bakery somewhere around the corner.The Pack’s training grounds.The small stores with glowing signs still hanging outside despite how late it already was.I was finally home.So why did it feel like I had left something important behind?
Nolan's POV “But why did you come?” Her voice came out quieter this time.The question hung heavily inside the small apartment, mixing with the sound of the weak bulb buzzing above us and the wind scraping softly against the old window outside.I stared at her without answering immediately.Because the truth sounded crazy, even to me...Ronnie wiped at her tears quickly with the back of her hand, but it didn’t help much. Her eyes were still red. Her breathing still uneven.“I thought you said you were getting married,” she continued, her voice trembling slightly now. “I thought you said I was your ex-mate.”The words hit differently hearing her repeat them back to me.“So why did you come?” she asked again.Her eyes searched mine carefully.Like she was trying to pull the answer out of me herself.“You still care about me?”Kylian stirred violently inside me, pacing hard against my control.Say yes.The voice came out rough, broken even. I clenched my jaw.Ronnie took one slow step
Ronnie’s POV“Nooo!” A scream tore through my throat as I pushed my body forward.I had already braced myself to go down the cliff, but instead, I now felt stable. Almost like the vehicle had come to a stop.My eyes fell open Instantly.Confusion got a hold of me the moment my eyes fell open.“How… How did I get here?” I said, my eyes scanning the dimly lit room. The only source of light in the room was a bulb that looked like it had lived longer than it was meant to. Overused. And now, it was just managing to give light from the little light left in it.I was certain just now that I was in a moving vehicle.That couldn’t have been a dream, could it?No! That felt too real to have been a dream.I stood up from the bed quickly, my eyes still scanning the room. The place was a small apartment with old furnitures.Breeze washed into the room from one of the side windows, the short curtain hanging over the window. Immediately the breeze flooded in, the smell of dust hit me.As I moved, th
Ronnie's POV I turned slowly, and there he was.Mark.He stood behind me, dressed in a fitted black shirt with that same calm, gentleman-like smile.I immediately looked at Jessie.“Did you fucking set me up with Mark again?” Jessie gasped dramatically. “Girl, come on.”“You did?”“I may have done a tiny bit of work,” she admitted shamelessly. “But technically, Melissa is his cousin.”I blinked slowly.“You’re exhausting.”“And yet lovable.”I rolled my eyes hard before finally looking back at Mark.Thankfully, unlike certain men in my life, Mark actually behaved like a normal human being.“No pressure,” he said easily. “I just came to say hello.”His voice was calm, easy to breathe around.And honestly?That alone felt suspicious nowadays.Anyways, we all continued to talk and laugh about different things all together, until someone else came and stole Melissa from us. “Elisha’s staring holes into your head.” Jessie muttered it under her breath.I glanced up instinctively.And the
Ronnie’s POV“You’re going.”Jessie’s voice came from the doorway of my room with the kind of confidence that meant I had no choice. I sighed tiredly, my fingers still moving across the keyboard.“No.”“Yes.”“No.”“Ronnie.”I finally looked up at her.She stood there with both hands on her waist, dressed already like she had somewhere important to be. Her curls bounced slightly as she tilted her head at me with that stubborn expression I knew too well.The one that usually meant she wouldn’t stop disturbing me until she got what she wanted.“I’m working,” I said dismissively.Jessie rolled her eyes dramatically before walking fully into the room.“You’ve been working for days.”“That’s usually how jobs work.”“Oh, please.” She snatched the laptop shut before I could stop her. “At this point, I’m convinced you and this laptop are secretly mated.”“Jessie.”“No. I’m serious.” She pointed at me accusingly. “You barely sleep, you barely eat properly, and every time I ask you to leave th
Reuben’s POV“You haven’t changed, bro.”Olivia’s voice resounded in the room with a mix of disbelief and amusement.I frowned slightly, turning toward her just in time to see what she had picked up from the floor beside my bed.Pink lace.Ah.Right.I closed my eyes briefly.Of course she would notice that first.Olivia held the underwear between two fingers dramatically, lifting it like she had just uncovered evidence from a murder scene. Her brows rose slowly as she stared at me.“You’re unbelievable,” she muttered.I leaned against the edge of the table and took a slow sip from the water bottle in my hand.“Trash that.”She gasped softly, then she started laughing.“You never cease to amaze me, for real.” She shook her head while walking toward the trashcan near the cabinet. “I mean… don’t you care about Diane’s feelings at all? You guys are literally engaged.”The lace disappeared into the trashcan.I barely reacted.“My relationship with Diane is none of your business,” I replie
Ronnie's POVI remained frozen for a very long while.Long enough till I slept off.By the time my eyes opened again, I could see how the morning light tried to make its way inside the room through the little space between the curtains.My head snapped up.He was no longer there.Of course, what wa
Ronnie's POV The words kept echoing in my head."I would rather die than see you with another man."The nerve of him made my vision blur with anger.This was the same man who disregarded our bond to be in my step-sister’s bed. The same man who had looked me straight in the eyes weeks ago and told
Ronnie’s POVBreakfast felt heavier than usual.Not because of the food.Because of the silence.I sat at the long dining table, my fingers lightly wrapped around the fork, but I hadn’t taken a bite in a while. The clinking of cutlery echoed softly around the room, yet no one spoke. It wasn’t the p
Nolan’s POVRight from the moment that the car was being loaded with her belongings, I knew I was doomed for trouble. I had asked her mother and friend to get her things prepared for the trip. That was last night while they waited to see her. "There's no need to worry about any big celebrations,
