Haliyah’s POV. Silence was supposed to feel like relief. That was what I used to believe. When something ended, when someone left, when the noise finally stopped, there was supposed to be space left behind that felt manageable and calm. But this silence didn’t feel like that. It didn’t feel like peace or closure. It felt unfinished, like something had been removed too early, leaving behind a shape that no longer had substance but still affected everything around it. Like a sentence had been cut off and the rest of it was still hanging in the air, waiting for continuation that never came. This kind of silence felt worse than conflict. I heard that Damon had left. He was given punishment for breaking a rule during the last council gathering. The last time I saw him was the night I confronted him. He didn’t tell me he was leaving. He didn’t even say goodbye. I had no clue when he would come back— if it would be soon, if it would take a long time, or if he might not come back at all.

Haliyah’s POV. I squeezed my eyes shut when the sunlight hit them. The sun was already high in the sky, its bright rays passing through my bedroom window. If I had to guess, it was already close to noon, yet I was still lying in bed. I hadn’t moved from my spot for hours. I hadn’t even gotten up to eat breakfast or do my usual morning routine. I felt weak, as if my body had no strength at all. I slowly opened one eye and raised my hand to block the light. I stared blankly at the ceiling and let out a deep sigh. I couldn’t understand why, but I felt drained ever since Damon left. It was as if my body had gotten used to his presence, and now that he was far from me, all my energy had disappeared. What is happening to me? I was never like this with him before. I never used to look for him. Back then, I wanted nothing more than to never see him again and to get as far away from him as possible. But now, that was no longer what I wanted. I think my mind and my heart have changed. Eve

Haliyah’s POV. The days turned into weeks, yet Damon never returned. I hadn’t received a single word or message from him, but at the same time, I slowly realized that I had been waiting for him when I shouldn’t have been. Damon was an Alpha. He had responsibilities outside our pack. He had his own duties, his own people, and his own territory to manage. It was normal for someone like him to disappear for days, even weeks, especially after everything that happened during the last event. Still, it annoyed me that every morning, I found myself subconsciously searching for his presence whenever there were events or meetings around the pack, thinking I might suddenly see him somewhere nearby. Every night, whenever I heard the sound of cars stopping outside the pack house, my attention immediately darted toward the entrance, foolishly hoping it might be him. A frustrated sigh escaped my lips as I closed the folder in my hand. I was supposed to review the herbal reports Luna Catherine

Cassandra’s POV. I was drying my hair after a bath when my phone vibrated on the counter. “Madame Cassandra, Luna Haliyah left. She’s not in the pack house right now.” The message came from one of the servants in the pack house— the woman I had threatened and ordered to keep an eye on Haliyah for me. A wide sneer spread across my lips. Finally. For weeks, I had been restless because of Raven. He wasn’t calling. He wasn’t visiting. He barely replied to my messages anymore. He used to be the one trying to find ways to see me and Liam, but now, it felt like he was intentionally avoiding me. I stood up hurriedly and snatched my car keys from the table. I didn’t waste another second. I needed to see Raven right now. While driving toward their pack house, the last conversation we had kept replaying in my mind. It was short and cold. There was no affection in it. It didn’t feel like Raven at all. It felt like something had changed in him, and what terrified me the most was the possibil

Haliyah’s POV. I lay there staring at the ceiling of my room. For days, my routine had been the same— wake up, eat, stay inside my room, then sleep again. I felt like I was l rotting in one place. I squeezed my eyes shut when my phone suddenly lit up beside my pillow. I quickly grabbed it. Catherine’s name flashed across the screen. I sat up from the bed before answering the call. “Hello?” “Haliyah!” Catherine greeted cheerfully from the other line. “Are you busy?” I glanced around my room before letting out a chuckle. “What do you think?” She laughed over the phone. “So that means you’re free.” “Why?” Suddenly, Daniel’ voice echoed from the background. “Because you’re going to give us a tour around the Mooncrest Pack.” I frowned. “Why does that sound more like an order?” “Because it is,” he answered proudly. “Also, we want coffee. Come with us.” “Daniel,” Catherine scolded between laughter. “At least invite her properly.” Daniel spoke again. “Haliyah, as your extremely ha
