Angel’s POVThe other mother looked from Bastien to me, then gave an awkward smile. “I just remembered I need to check on something,” she said quickly. “I’ll go ahead first.”She did not wait for an answer. She turned and left, clearly wanting to get away from the tense mood between us.I did not stop her. Bastien also said nothing. He stood beside me for a moment, his face still stiff from what I had said earlier. Then the teacher gathered the parents and children and called everyone toward the activity area. The parent-child games were about to begin.Finn was already excited again. The earlier awkwardness had not stayed with him. He tugged at Bastien’s hand, then looked back at me with bright eyes.“Mom, watch us properly,” he said.Before I could answer, Bastien turned to me and said, “Record it.”He held up his phone toward me.I looked at it, then at him. “I’ll use mine.”His hand paused in midair for a second. Then he lowered the phone without arguing.I took out my own phone i

Angel’s PerspectiveI did not plan to stay out long that night. Dana had been with me earlier, but she left for something else, so I stopped by the bar alone before going home.The place was busy. Wolves were talking, drinking, and moving between tables. I chose a seat where I could see the room clearly.That was why I noticed the two men early. They kept looking in my direction, then started walking toward me. I had never seen them before, but the way they came over told me enough.They stopped at my table. One of them smiled. “You’re Angel, right?”I looked at both of them. “Do I know you?”The second man leaned on the empty chair across from me. “No. But we know enough about you.”I stayed seated. “Then say what you want and leave.”The first man laughed. “You’ve got a bad attitude.”“I’m not in the mood,” I said.He looked me over openly. “We can fix that.”By then, I knew this was not random. I reached for my phone under the table and opened the recording app without making it ob

Angle’s PerspectiveKian had said he would handle the rest. I thought he meant the investigation, but the next morning, he asked me to come to the training ground.He said I needed to clear my head, and Dana agreed before I could refuse. She said sitting indoors would only make me think too much. That was how Dana and I arrived at the training ground a little before noon.The place was already lively. Wolves moved in and out of the wide open field, some in training gear, some standing by the fence and watching. The dragon area was farther ahead, past the main ground, and it was louder because of the wings, the chains, and the handlers calling out instructions.Dana walked beside me and looked around. “It’s been a while since I came here.” I looked at her. “You still remember the layout?”She gave a small smile. “Enough.”We kept walking until we reached the dragon training areaThe sound there was different from the rest of the ground. A dragon’s breathing did not sound like anything

Angle’s PerspectiveBy the time Daisy was brought down from the tree and taken to the hospital, the whole training ground had already gone tense.No one was speaking lightly anymore. The handlers were checking the dragon, the cage, the straps, and the line again and again. Dana stayed close to me the whole time. Kian said little, but his face had stayed serious from the moment he arrived.I went to the hospital too. Not because Daisy wanted me there. I was sure she did not. But I needed Kian to hear my side.When we got there, Daisy had already been examined.She was not badly hurt. That much was clear very quickly. She had some bruises, a few scrapes, and a bad fright, but she had not broken anything. If she had not caught that branch, things would have been very different. Everyone knew that.Dana stood beside me in the corridor while we waited.“She’s going to make this about you,” Dana said quietly.I looked ahead. “I know.”Dana studied my face. “You don’t sound surprised.”“I’m

Author’s PerspectiveThe next day, Finn woke up thinking about the new pack animation.He had heard his classmates talking about it for days. Some had already watched it with their parents. Some had plans to watch it that weekend. Finn wanted to watch it too, and he wanted someone to sit beside him the way Angel used to.By noon, he found Bastien in the study.Bastien was looking through documents when Finn came in and tugged at his sleeve.“Dad,” Finn said. “Can you watch the new pack animation with me?”Bastien did not look up right away. “Not now.”Finn did not let go. “Please? It just came out. Everyone is watching it.”Bastien turned one page and said, “I’m busy.”Finn’s hand dropped slowly. “Just one episode?”“I said no, Finn.”His voice was not loud, but Finn knew he would not change his mind.Finn left the study. He went to find the others in the house. He asked one aunt first, but she said she had something to prepare. He asked one of the older cousins, but the cousin said h
