ZARA “Wait,” I say, bending down quickly and taking it from him before he can move and get caught in it. I don’t rush it. I make sure I have a good hold before I straighten up.I gather it carefully in my arms, holding it close so nothing slips or drags behind us. “Okay. Now we can put her to bed.”When she wakes up, I hope she remembers why she went out into the Shadow Woods while Felix was being taken away by that other pack. I keep turning that over in my mind. It doesn’t fit. It isn’t like her. It feels wrong. Too careless. Like something pushed her into it.I turn and lead the way, pushing the doors open as we go. The house is quieter now, but it doesn’t feel calm. Just tired.We take the main stairs, moving slowly, step by step, careful not to make more noise than we have to. The hall stretches out in front of us, long and dim, like the night is still holding onto it.Near the end, I glance toward the second-to-last door. It’s slightly open. I catch sight of Eli asleep on t

FELIX I run my hand slowly along the wall, feeling for a switch, but there’s nothing there. Just cold, flat surface under my fingers. No edges. No buttons.It doesn’t take long for it to settle in.This isn’t a room.It’s too tight. Too small to be anything meant for living in. The air feels closed in. There’s no window anywhere. Not even a crack of light.It’s a damn closet.And it’s empty.I lower myself down to sit, my back brushing the wall, and try to stretch my legs out in front of me. I don’t even get halfway before my feet hit the door.That’s it. That’s all the space I have.I let my head fall back against the wall and stare into the dark, even though there’s nothing to see. I try to piece things together, try to make any part of this make sense.Nothing does.Why would the Alpha of this pack go through all that effort to bring me here, just to lock me in a closet? It doesn’t add up. It doesn’t feel like it leads anywhere.Is this supposed to be some kind of test?Some twist

FELIX The classroom again. Same place. Same walls. Same empty feeling pressing in around me. At least she keeps it consistent.I look around slowly, taking it in even though I already know what I’ll see. And there she is. Cassandra.She’s already watching me.That smug smile spreads across her face like she’s been waiting for this exact moment. Like she knew I’d end up here again.“Well, well. Look who finally needs my help.”“Need is a strong word,” I say. My voice comes out flat, but I don’t look away. “And from what I heard, you’re only helping because we might do something about your soul. Help you move on. Or rest. Or whatever it is you’re stuck doing.”Her face tightens right away. That smile fades into something sharper. “You don’t have to be a jerk about it.”“Says the biggest jerk in the room.”She turns away from me, quick and stiff, arms crossing like she’s shutting me out. She looks like a sulky kid who didn’t get her way.I almost groan out loud.I shouldn’t have said th

DAMIAN Staring at the ceiling all night is not the smartest thing I’ve done, but I can’t stop. My eyes stay fixed on it, even when they start to burn. My senses are sharp, too sharp, and I can’t turn them down. Every little thing feels louder than it should.Zara needs sleep. I see it in how fast she drifts off the moment we lie down. One second she’s there, the next she’s gone, breathing slow and even. Caleb gets back within the hour. I hear him come in, quiet but not quiet enough for me to miss. He slides into bed on her other side, curls up close, and he’s out almost as fast as she was.If I was only tense because he was late, maybe I would have relaxed once he got back. Maybe I would have slept too.But it’s not just that.It sits deeper than that. It presses in my chest in a way I can’t ignore.My pack isn’t right. It doesn’t feel whole. Something is off, like a piece is missing or out of place.I can’t rest while that feeling is there.I won’t rest until I fix it. Until ever

ZARA I wake up and reach out, but the space beside me is empty. Damian is gone. Caleb is still there on my other side, lying on his back, snoring softly. He must have come in after I fell asleep.I push myself up slowly and check the time. Just after eight in the morning. Early, but not too early.I feel… okay. Rested, even. That alone feels strange. It makes me wonder if my magic is back.I reach for it, testing the connection. It’s there. I can feel it sitting just under the surface. But when I try to pull it forward, nothing happens. No spark. No tingle in my fingers.Damn.It’s still low. I need to recharge it. The fastest way is outside. The ground always helps.I swing my legs over the side of the bed and start to stand, but a hand catches my arm.“Hey,” Caleb murmurs, his voice rough with sleep. “Where are you going?”“I just need to check something. I’ll be back soon.”“Promise?”“Promise.”He lets go and tucks his hand back under his pillow.I grab yesterday’s dress from the

ZARA "I'll ask Holly to keep an eye on her," I say. I keep my tone steady, like this is under control. It isn't something to panic about. Not yet."You know what?" Lee says, like something just settled in her mind. "I think the woman in my dream was trying to tell me something about the things we're meant to study for our project. I must have been thinking about it too much before bed.""The moon curse topic?" I ask."Yeah.""That wouldn't help if you didn't really understand it," I point out.She shakes her head, slower this time. "She said something about shifting forms having a second meaning. Or... maybe more than one meaning. I don't know. It didn't come through clearly. It was all mixed up."Maybe it was just a dream.That would be the easy answer.But my gut says it wasn't. The feeling sits heavy in my chest, quiet but firm.Holly walks into the kitchen while I'm still standing there, debating whether to grab another piece of cold toast."Hey," she says, giving Lee a warm smil

ZARA He reaches forward, hooking his fingers into the front of my panties, and tugs me closer to the edge of the bed. I don’t see his claws, but I feel the fabric give way almost instantly. The panties tear in his hands, not sliding down like usual. He didn’t want to waste a single second.He holds his hands out, and I take them without hesitation. I climb onto the bed and fall into his arms. My body presses against him, and I can feel the warmth radiating from him.“Now you’re keeping your promise,” he says, tugging the tangled sheets away from his lower body. “I missed you so much yesterday.”He had been gone most of the day, wrapped up in things I barely understood. A lot is still happening, and I know it won’t stop anytime soon. But right now, none of that matters. I will always make time for my mates, no matter what.“I’m here now,” I tell him, reaching down to take his length in my hand. “You don’t have to miss me anymore.”His eyes close, and a low groan escapes him as I b

CALEB This is the first real chance I’ve had to be alone with my mate in months, and I’m not wasting a second of it. Zara’s heat is never fully gone. It sits just under the surface, waiting. All it takes is one touch, one moment, and it starts to rise.I feel it happen as soon as I touch her. Her scent deepens. Her body reacts.She’s already wet. Already ready.For me.For my touch.For my cock.That alone makes me harder. Fast. My body responds before I can think. I want inside her. I need it. That familiar heat, the way she feels wrapped around me.She’s not something I can walk away from. Not something I’d ever want to fix or cure.She’s everything.I make her come with my hands first. I take my time with it, watching her react, feeling her body give in piece by piece. And when she pulls me into her, she’s still shaking from it. Still riding that wave.Her body tightens around me the second I’m inside.Slow.She moves slowly, but the way she holds me makes it hard to think. Har

ZARA Caleb drops back onto the bed, breathing hard. His chest rises and falls fast, like he just ran a long distance. His fingers slide slowly along my arm until they find my hand. He holds it like he needs to steady himself.It feels too warm now. The heat sits heavy on my skin. I can feel sweat forming at my hairline and down my neck. My body still hums from everything we just did. The pleasure lingers, soft and deep, pulling at me, making my eyes want to close. I feel like I could fall asleep again right here. Even though I’ve already slept too much these past few days.I let go of his hand and turn onto my side.He looks at me, one eyebrow raised. “If you’re thinking about round three, I’ll need a minute. Maybe two.”I smile a little. “Round three can wait. I need a shower first. And food. It’s already too hot in here. If we keep going, we might actually burn the sheets.”He laughs under his breath. “I’m just trying to enjoy having you to myself. That doesn’t happen much.”“I

FELIX I’m back in that strange, familiar meadow by the time Cassandra finds me again. It still feels off, like I’ve been here before but not in a way that fully makes sense. The air is quiet, almost too quiet, and it presses in around me.I can’t see her anywhere, but I hear her calling my name. Her voice carries across the space, sharp and a little annoyed. She sounds pissed, but that’s normal for her. I tell myself it doesn’t mean anything. It never really does with her.“Bye, weird place,” I mutter, giving a small, half-hearted wave as I turn away. I don’t linger. I don’t want to stay here longer than I have to.I head straight for the door that leads back to the corridor in Crescent Academy. It’s there like it always is, waiting.The hall looks the same as before when I step through. Quiet. Empty. Too still.My footsteps echo as I walk back to the classroom. The sound feels louder than it should. I reach the door, pause for a second, then push it open.She’s already inside. Jus
