Tristan I swirled the drink in my glass, watching the liquid reflect with the neon bar light. But no matter how much I tried to drown it, Selene's face kept flashing in my head. The pain in her eyes. The way her lips trembled before she ran. Damn it, those words they threw at her cut her deeper than any blade. And what killed me most, she didn't trust me enough to stay. To let me handle it.The stool beside me scraped against the floor, and the scent of Henry's cologne reached me. Of course."I thought I told you to leave me alone," I muttered, not even sparing him a look.Henry raised a hand to the bartender, signaling for a drink. "You did," he said smoothly. "But you know I'm never the one to do as I'm told. I'm stubborn... just like you."I took a long sip frustration bubbling in before I turned to look at him. "Leave me alone, Henry."Henry didn't touch his drink right away. He just sat there, eyes on me like he was weighing every word before speaking."Selene had every right to

SeleneI pushed the door open, my head heavy, my thoughts spinning in a mess I couldn't untangle. Tristan's words still echoed, even though I knew he hadn't said them to hurt me. I hadn't said a word back. I couldn't. The moment those words left his mouth, I felt like the air had been ripped out of me. He explained but nothing stuck. My mind couldn't process it. My heart wouldn't let me. So, I walked away."Thank God you're back on time," Ama's voice cut through the fog as she appeared from the kitchen, relief etched on her face. "Liora had been crying nonstop. I literally went crazy before she finally managed to sleep." She gave me a once-over and her tone shifted instantly. "Wait... what's wrong?"My vision blurry from the tears I'd been holding back. My lips trembled before the words slipped out, "He's getting married to Kayla."Ama froze, her eyes widening as if she hadn't heard me right. "What?" she whispered, her hand flying to her chest.I let out a shaky breath, dropping ont

SeleneA few days later...Everything felt different. Zayn had handled all the preparations for me tuition, supplies, even the little things I didn't think of. For the first time in a long while, I felt a spark of excitement. I was really about to begin something new. Something that was mine.I sat on the stool in the kitchen, idly crunching on a slice of apple while Ama stood by the stove, flipping the last pancake onto the pan with a little too much flair, like she was competing in some pancake contest."So," she said, sliding the golden-brown pancake onto a plate, "you're officially starting college."I rolled my eyes, popping the apple into my mouth. "Come on, I wouldn't call it college. It's just part-time."Ama turned off the stove, grabbed the plate, and carried it over to the table. She set it down with a little dramatic thud, then spun around to face me. "It doesn't matter. School is school. You are finally going to live the dream you've always wanted." She pulled out the cha

SeleneThe drive here had been silent, each of us wrapped in our own thoughts. And now, standing at the gates of the pack, I felt that silence stretch inside me like a taut string.Everywhere was decorated in gold and white, ribbons wrapped around pillars, flowers trailing along the entrance, and lanterns hanging overhead. Today was Tristan and Kayla's wedding the day that sealed everything. I didn't know exactly what I felt, but I knew one thing I wasn't going to walk in here looking broken. So I kept my head high, Liora dressed sweetly in her little gown in Ama's arms, while I smoothed down my own simple outfit. Zayn walked on the other side of me, his usual protective presence steadying me.Inside the pack hall, the crowd was buzzing with chatter, laughter, and the sound of instruments warming up. My eyes trailed instinctively to the front, where Kayla stood, draped in a gown that shimmered beneath the lights. I can't lie she was beautiful, radiant even, her hair pinned with tiny p

Henry and I were hunched over the map spread across my desk, red pins marking vulnerable points along the northern border. “This stretch here,” I tapped my finger against the edge of the territory, “needs tighter patrols. We’ve had two reports of trespassing already this week. Double the guards at the watchpoint, and make sure the shifts rotate at dawn and dusk.”I was still explaining when a sharp pain lanced through my skull, sudden and blinding. My hand shot up to my head, fingers gripping my temple.Henry straightened instantly. “What’s wrong?”I gritted my teeth and forced myself to breathe evenly. “It’s nothing. Just… I’ve been having these headaches for some days now. They come out of nowhere.”His brows knitted. “Are you sure you won’t see the pack doctor? Or maybe even the hospital?”I shook my head, though the motion only made the pounding worse. “No need. I’m already taking medication.”Henry folded his arms, unconvinced. “And it hasn’t been working.”“I’ll be fine,” I said
