The sound of the birds woke me up. Through the window, I could see the daylight. My clock showed seven in the morning.No way! Kessler, beside me, hugged me while he slept peacefully. I smiled seeing him like that, tempted not to go to school and spend the whole morning with him, making breakfast together, and spending the day doing something fun. Wow, I think I'm falling for Kessler Walton more than I expected.I kissed him on the cheek, causing him to stir."What time is it?" he asked."Seven," I replied."Damn, we'll be late," he said, looking at me. "Good morning, kitty, how are you? You look beautiful.""Don't be a liar. I wake up with messy hair and bad breath.""That's not true, and I have a mega sense of smell."I rolled my eyes. Kessler pounced on me and started tickling me."N-no," I gasped as I laughed. "Kessler, my dad might come!""Eva?" My dad's voice made us freeze in silence."Yes? I'm awake," I said."You'll be late for breakfast," he said."I'll be down in five minut

Saying I'm disappointed is an understatement."What do you want us to do?" Lottie inquires."To be honest, I don't know anymore. I don't know what to do or what to think.""Talk to him, maybe it's something important.""How important can it be to come to Lottie's house?" I wanted to know. We still haven't gotten out of the car. I'm afraid of finding something worse. Although Lucas wouldn't deceive me... if Kessler and Riley are up to something strange, my brother would have my back... right?"I don't know... maybe it's work-related, their parents are friends.""Let's find out," I said, carefully opening the door and stepping out. Lottie did the same. We walked stealthily along the huge wall until we reached a tree. Luckily, the tree was close to the wall so we could climb it and see the other side."This is very risky," Lottie murmurs. "What if we get caught?""Nothing will happen. Kessler should be the one afraid, not me," I began to climb the tree carefully. There were some ants cra

I didn't know whether to believe everything Kessler said... at least most of it. I believe Riley's story, I think he's capable of that and much more. But with Kessler... there's the fact that he lied to me."Eva, I wouldn't deceive you. I just wanted to protect you and keep you from getting stressed about all this. I don't want to see you worried. Leave it to me. I'll take care of Riley and his pack.""When did we get into this situation? Will there ever be a moment without any kind of problem?""I'm sorry," he murmured, gazing at the road, looking sad and vulnerable.Ugh! I can't believe the immense power Kessler has over me. I can't see him like this because it makes me want to hug him and make him feel better.Stay strong, Eva, stay strong. Despite everything, Kessler lied to you."I want to go back to classes," I told him."Eva, tell me we're okay, please," he took my arm, "Even if you don't want to, I'll always be close to you. So it's better if you accept me willingly because oth

I return home with a bittersweet feeling. The comforting smell of my room is a balm to my wounded soul, but the truth I now know weighs on me like a millstone. I sit on the edge of my bed, watching the patterns of shadows dance on the walls as night falls over the town.My mind is full of unanswered questions and shocking revelations. Can I trust Kessler after all? And what about my own brother, Lucas, whose secrets now threaten to change everything? Confusion and fear swirl inside me, forming a whirlwind of emotions that threatens to engulf me.I wonder what I should do next. Should I confront Kessler and demand answers? Or should I keep silent and try to find a way to reconcile the truth with my feelings for him? And then there's my brother, Lucas, whose fears and internal struggles are now apparent to me. How can I help him deal with his new reality as a wolf, when I can barely deal with my own?As I delve into a sea of thoughts, one thing becomes clear: the decisions I make from n

The sound of the main door echoed through the house, announcing the arrival of our guests. My heart pounded as we made our way to the living room, where Dad was already waiting to greet Kessler and Jonny.As we entered the room, my eyes met Kessler's, and for a moment, everything seemed to stop. There was a mix of emotions in his gaze, a combination of regret and determination that left me breathless."Hey, Eva," he said with a shy smile, breaking the uncomfortable silence that had settled between us. "It's good to see you again."Now we had to act like strangers.My lips curved into a forced smile as I struggled to maintain composure. "Hello, Kessler," I replied, trying to hide the storm of emotions swirling inside me.Beside me, Lottie gave my hand a gentle squeeze, offering silent support in this tense moment. Her eyes reflected understanding and empathy as we faced the situation together."It looks like you arrived just in time," Dad interjected, trying to break the tension with h
