Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Moon Goddess's Mistake: Wrong Mate At The Wrong Time: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 55

Sebastian"I’ll take my leave," I said, rising to my feet after spending nearly two hours watching a movie with her after dinner.I didn’t want to go…not really. But I had to.There were too many things I needed to take care of. I couldn’t afford the comfort of just sitting here pretending like nothing was going on. There’s a murderer out there, and Dove… she’s spiraling faster than I expected. If I don’t act quickly, she’s going to do something far worse than what she’s already done.Ava walked me to the door with a smile playing on her lips. She looked lighter tonight. Maybe it was the movie. Or the wine. Or maybe…for the first time in a long time…she felt safe. With me."You’re still going to train me tomorrow, right?" she asked, leaning on the doorframe, hugging her arms close to her body. There was something about the way she asked that made my chest ache. Like she needed something to anchor her. Someone."Of course," I said, forcing a grin, but even I could hear how strained

AVAA cold chill ran down my spine, the kind that makes your skin crawl before your brain catches up. I stopped walking and turned sharply, my eyes sweeping across the shadows of the night. The trees swayed lazily in the breeze, branches casting eerie patterns on the ground. The silence was heavy, too heavy.

The gravel crunched beneath my boots, loud and intrusive. I wanted to run. I wanted to look back again. But I didn’t.Then my phone rang.I jumped.My hand flew to

He wasn’t just trying to find a killer….he was trying to protect something. Maybe even someone.And I didn’t have the guts to tell him the truth.I had met with Dante.I shouldn’t have, but I did.And Dante… he knew things. Things happening inside the pack, beneath the surface. Secrets that had clearly festered for too long. But he never told me what he knew…not directly. He only looked me in the eye, like someone who had already seen the storm coming, and told me to leave with him. Escape while I could.I didn’t know if it was love or fear talking. I didn’t even ask. Because while I should’ve been asking him questions, all I could think about was Sebastian.Standing here in front of him now, I didn’t want to think about Dante, or anything else. It felt wrong, like a betrayal.I studied Sebastian’s
