Brielle POV.The room was quiet, filled only by the sound of his steady breathing. I felt safe in his arms, but my heart was heavy with the weight of my secrets. I couldn't keep lying to him. Not anymore. He deserved the truth.I pulled back slightly to look at his face. My hands were shaking, and my heart was pounding so hard I thought it would burst out of my chest."Elion," I whispered, my voice trembling. "There... there is something else I need to tell you."He looked at me, his eyes gentle and waiting. "What is it, love?"I took a deep, shaky breath. Tears started to pool in my eyes."About my first shift," I said, the words feeling like stones in my throat. "You asked why I

Brielle POV.The guilt was eating me alive. I lowered my head, my fingers twisting together in my lap. I remembered that conversation vividly. I had said those words because I was hurting.I looked at Kael, my eyes glistening with unshed tears, and nodded slowly."Yes," I whispered, my voice trembling. "I really said that."I took a shaky breath, the weight of my confession heavy in the air."I just... I felt so small. I felt like I was always just a responsibility to him, someone he had to carry and protect. I told her I wanted to be free. I wanted to stand on my own two feet and have my own life, so I wouldn't be a burden to him anymore."Tears spilled over and rolled down my cheeks."I never wanted him to get hurt because of me."Kael looked at me for a long moment, his expression unreadable as he drove. Then, he let out a soft breath and spoke."Well... if that is truly what you want, then you can do that, Brielle," he said gently. "You are allowed to have your freedom."He glance

Elion POV.walked over to the door and pulled it open. The nurses and guards stationed outside immediately straightened up, their eyes widening in surprise."Alpha!" one of them exclaimed, taking a step forward. "You should be resting! The doctor said—""I don't have time for doctors," I cut him off sharply, my voice leaving no room for argument. "Call my car. Now."They didn't dare question me again. They saw the look in my eyes—the storm that was brewing inside me—and they scattered immediately to obey.I walked down the hallway, every step deliberate, ignoring the dull throb in my side. My body was healing, thanks to her, but it wasn't perfect. I could feel the strain, the way my energy was flickering, bu

Brielle POV.I couldn't believe it. It hadn't even been twenty-four hours since I left him lying in that hospital bed, and yet here he was again, battered and bleeding.What was worse was that instead of going back to the place full of doctors and medicine, he had chosen to come here. To our house.I looked down at the bandages I had just finished wrapping around his torso. The new injury wasn't life-threatening like the bullet wound, but it was still deep and painful. He needed professional care, sterile equipment, and rest. But knowing Elion, once he set his mind on something, no one could change it. He wanted to be here. With me.And now, he was sleeping soundly right next to me.I let out a long, heavy sigh, my eyes traci

Brielle POV.I walked out to the backyard, letting the cool night air hit my face. My feet led me straight to the big tree in the middle of the grass. It was the tree Elion and I planted together. We did it as a memory for my parents.I reached out and touched the rough bark. Even though it was dark, I could see how tall and strong it had grown.My heart was still beating fast, not because I was scared, but because I was so angry and hurt. It felt like a heavy stone was sitting on my chest.I never expected Elion to do that. He is the person who knows me best. He knows better than anyone else how much I wanted answers. He knows how many nights I cried, asking myself why my parents had to die. He knows how much I hated being left alone in this world.
