Aurora’s P.O.VAlmost a week had passed, but the weight in my chest didn’t get any lighter. In fact, it got worse. Graduation was right around the corner—a moment I had waited for with hope and excitement—but instead of joy, I felt like I was carrying a boulder on my back. I kept telling myself it would all work out, that things would fall back into place with time, but that was a lie I’d been feeding myself every morning just to get through the day.Every time I saw Ashton and Maggie laughing from a distance or passing by without so much as meeting my eyes, the knot in my stomach tightened. They hadn’t been cruel—not at all. Maggie even came up to me the day after the incident and apologized for slapping me. She looked me straight in the eyes, voice trembling, and said, “I was out of line. I shouldn’t have laid a hand on you.” I had forgiven her instantly. But forgiveness didn’t undo damage. Since then, it was like an invisible wall had gone up between us, one that grew a little thic

Aurora’s P.O.VThe wind had started to pick up again as I made my way back to the packhouse, rustling the trees like they were whispering secrets I wasn’t ready to hear. My boots thudded softly against the path, weighed down by the silence in my chest. My heart was knotted, tangled between guilt and the ache of knowing something precious was slipping through my fingers. The bond I’d been trying to forge with my half-siblings—fragile, new, and already bruised—was unraveling faster than I could sew it back together. And a part of me knew, just knew, that Shane had played a part in it, whether he meant to or not.That’s when I saw him.Shane was just ahead, walking down the same trail, laughing at something the boy next to him—one of the younger pack warriors, I think his name was Milo—had said. He looked lighter than I felt. That only made my jaw clench harder.“Shane,” I called, my voice harsher than I expected it to.He turned mid-step, eyebrows lifting when he saw me. “Aurora? Hey.

Aurora’s P.O.VThe auditorium buzzes with energy, a mix of hushed conversations, excited whispers, and the occasional burst of applause as another name is called. I sit between Caroline and Jade, my hands clasped together with Caroline, and Caleb sits beside Jade, his knee bouncing slightly. The four of us have spent years dreaming of this moment—of walking across the stage, receiving our certificates, and stepping into a world far beyond the walls of this school. But now that it’s here, I feel an odd heaviness in my chest, like the weight of the past pressing down on me, a reminder of everything it took to get here.The class president is giving his speech, something about perseverance and ambition, but my mind drifts. I swallow hard, fingers tightening around the fabric of my gown as I stare at the stage. Almost a year ago, I wasn’t sure I’d make it to this moment. The obstacles, the losses, the nights I thought about giving up—they all come rushing back in a blur. But I’m here. I m

Aurora’s P.O.VI felt my stomach tighten with surprise as I step out of the car as Caleb holds the door open for me.Of all the places in the world, why here? My eyes darted to him, searching for some kind of explanation, but he simply smirked, his hand going to the small of my back as he propels me forward.“You’ll find out soon,” he said, his voice laced with a mystery that only made my curiosity grow.I let out a small breath, shaking my head as I glanced towards the diner again. That’s when I saw them—Jade and Caroline stepping out of their cars, their faces glowing under the warm evening lights. But what truly caught my attention was Damien, standing in the distance, his posture relaxed yet unmistakably expectant as he waited for Caroline.My heart gave a strange, unsteady thump at the sight of the diner. It had been so long since I had seen them, Jeremy or any of the staff, since I had felt the warmth of their presence.As they headed inside together, Caleb reached over and plac

Aurora’s P.O.V I didn’t think I’d be this giddy walking back into the packhouse after a long day at Jeremy’s Diner, but as the last rays of sunlight dipped beneath the horizon, the air was charged with something different. Graduation. Freedom. That electric sense that something had ended and something else was about to begin.The packhouse was already buzzing when I walked in. I could hear Jade’s voice from the hallway, probably shouting instructions to the decoration crew, and the sound of music thumping softly behind closed doors. My stomach flipped a little from the excitement. I wasn’t alone—I had Caroline practically bouncing beside me, her long curls bouncing wildly as she grinned from ear to ear.“Oh my god, we’re actually doing this,” she squealed. “It’s real! We’ve graduated!”“I know,” I laughed, my voice catching a bit in my throat. “Feels like we were just yesterday we were getting detention for bunking class despite staying away for so long. I never thought I’d graduate
