Chapter 221 -"The Visit That Broke the Silence" The afternoon sun poured gently onto the property in Lancaster, casting gold stripes across the stone pathway to the front porch. Inside the expansive family house, everything was quiet—quiet, even abnormally so. There existed hurt behind the quiet of the house and secrets behind the shut doors. Sophia remained reserved, even to her relatives. She walked through the pack corridors, ghostly, quiet, but heavily burdened with unspoken feelings. Her mother, luna, had sensed something had been off the moment Sophia arrived home, asking to remain there for a while. alpha, her dad, the Aalpha of their affiliated pack, respected her reserve—at least temporarily. He was, however, a man who had a knack for knowing when there was going to be stormy weather on the horizon. There had been sadness in Sophia, but there had been more to her depression. And when the guards declared the arrival of the visitor—a man named Marcus from Damon's pack—Luna

Chapter 223: Her Walls Are Higher NowDamon's POV I stood outside the gate like a man who lost everything—because I did. The evening wind bristled against my skin, but I couldn't feel it. I could only feel the stinging pain in my chest, the weight in my heart, and the anxious praying that maybe… just maybe she'd open the gate if she knew I was there.Sophia.My love. My friend. The one that I hurt most.I'd done everything incorrectly. I'd allowed misunderstanding and pride to haze my mind. I'd allowed lies to spin my mind around. I'd allowed another woman's guile to drive me further away from the only creature who ever meant anything to me in the first place. And now. I was standing outside of her parents' pack, waiting to be heard. Waiting to beg.I had already texted. I had tried phoning. Lucas told me she was okay, and I was grateful for that—but that wasn't enough. I wanted to see her myself. I wanted her to hear my apology in my own words. I wanted her to feel the honesty in my

Chapter 225 -Don't Rush Me"Sophia's perspectiveI didn't notice time passing, my back against the wall and my puffy eyes filling up with tears. My whole being seemed to break apart and reconstitute itself, to break apart again.I had heard the door creak open, the footsteps hesitate—then move cautiously closer. I did not even lift my head. I did not wish to see anybody. My heart was weary. My body was weary.And then, the feeling of having the blanket wrapped around my shoulders. Warm, comforting, and smelling of home. but not my home.It had his scent.DamonI stiffened, but did not push him back."I've brought you tea," his voice low and gentle, as if he feared he'd break something inside of me with his words. "Just herbal… the doctor said it would help with the nausea."I had not uttered anything. My hands remained in my lap, fists. I sensed the cup being pushed against my hand. He did not press it, but rather waited for me to take it myself. And I had. Because since morning, my s

Chapter 227 - Luna ReturnsSophia's POVI woke up slowly, morning sunlight seeping through the curtains like a soft whisper.For a moment, I didn't know where I was. The bed was warm, the sheets smelled fresh, like pinewood and… him. Damon. My heart skipped unexpectedly.Then I remembered. I was in his pack once more. In the house I once called home with him.But something was strange.Too quiet. Too still.I sat up gradually, rubbing my eyes. My hand instinctively went to my stomach. A soft flutter. The life inside me was still there, growing quietly. It reminded me of why I'd returned, even if part of me was still scared.Then I saw it.There was a folded letter beside me on the pillow. Damon's handwriting. I recognized it at once.My hands trembled slightly as I picked it up and opened it.\tSophia,I did not wish to wake you. You looked peaceful.If you are up to it, come out and join me in the courtyard.No pressure. No expectations.I just want to get it right this time.—Damon

Chapter 229- Their LunaSophia's POVThe sun felt warm on my body when I stepped outside that afternoon. Not hot at all, but warm. The kind of warmth that made you breathe deeper. The kind of day that whispered softness, even though your heart was still heavy with pieces of pain.I had just had a single meal when one of the omegas gently knocked on my door."Some of the younger girls from the pack have inquired if they can meet with you," she informed me with a small smile. "They said. they want to meet their Luna."I blinked.Their Luna.Those words still lingered oddly. Heavily. Beautifully. Terrifyingly.I didn't know if I was ready to be "Luna" again. I didn't know that I ever had been. But something inside of me—a little soft voice, maybe the same one that had told me to go back—whispered, Go.So I nodded. "Okay," I said quietly.The omega's face lit up, and before I was aware of it, I was walking slowly down the hallway, my hand brushing along the walls of the packhouse that use
