The morning light crept softly through the curtains, warm but hesitant — like it, too, was afraid to touch the silence that filled the apartment. Liora sat on the edge of her bed, shoulders slightly hunched, her eyes fixed on the floor. Her coffee had gone cold in her hands. She hadn’t taken a sip.Last night had been long.Too long.Jonathan had finally fallen asleep close to dawn, curled beside her, one arm wrapped around his bear. The little girl was still asleep in the small room across the hall, her breathing steady and soft. Everything looked peaceful on the surface. But inside, Liora’s wolf was restless — pacing, growling low in her chest, sensing danger that wasn’t yet visible.She rubbed her temple, forcing herself to breathe evenly. She couldn’t afford to break down — not in front of her son, not with the stranger child still under her care. She had to be strong. She had to pretend that things were normal.Normal.She almost laughed.Nothing about her life was normal anymore

The city was quieter than usual that night.Rain had started again, slow and steady, painting the streets with silver light. The sky looked heavy, as if it was carrying too many secrets.Liora stepped out of the building, her coat pulled tight around her. The wind brushed her hair across her face, cool and soft. She walked quickly down the sidewalk, her heels clicking against the wet pavement.She had stayed longer than she planned.Too long.Her thoughts were a mess. She kept seeing Jasper’s face — the calmness in his eyes, the warmth in his voice, the way he’d said her name as if it meant more than just an employee’s name. It unsettled her.Because deep down, she knew she was already fighting something she didn’t want to name.When she finally reached home, the lights inside were dim. Jonathan was asleep on the couch, one arm hanging off the side. Elara was curled up beside him, her little hand holding his shirt. The sight made Liora smile softly despite her exhaustion.She took off

The night had a strange quietness to it.Not peaceful — heavy.The kind of quiet that made every footstep sound too loud, every shadow seem too close.Liora pulled her coat tighter around her as she stepped out of the building. The rain had started as a drizzle, soft and cold, touching her cheeks like a whisper. Streetlights glowed gold through the mist, their reflections stretching across wet pavements.She walked fast. Not because she was late — but because her instincts told her to.Her wolf stirred beneath her skin, restless.It wasn’t fear. Not yet.Just the kind of tension that warned her to listen, to pay attention.The city wasn’t as alive now. Most people had gone home. Cars passed occasionally, their tires hissing against the road. The sound faded too quickly.Liora’s heels clicked softly as she turned into a smaller street — a shortcut she often used. It was darker, quieter, but faster.Halfway down, she stopped.The sound of footsteps echoed faintly behind her.She turned

Morning came gray again.The rain had stopped, but the clouds still hung low over the city, heavy and tired.Liora stood at the bus stop with her coffee cup, her fingers cold around the paper. She hadn’t slept well — every time she closed her eyes, she felt like someone was standing outside her window, just watching.The air was quiet except for the soft sound of tires on wet road.She told herself it was nothing. That the man from yesterday — the one by the car — had probably just been a passerby.But her wolf didn’t believe that.Her senses were too sharp now, too awake. She could smell faint traces of something familiar — the scent of someone who had been near her more than once.She turned her head slightly.A black car was parked across the street again. Same spot. Same silence.Liora’s breath caught, but she kept her face calm. She threw her coffee away and boarded the bus like nothing was wrong.At the office, she forced herself to smile at the receptionist and headed straight
