Chapter 42 – LenaThe next morning, I woke up before my alarm.For a few seconds, I didn't remember where I was.Then I saw the unfamiliar ceiling.The large windows.The quiet room.And the faint sound of someone moving outside.I smiled.The penthouse.Kai.My smile faded slightly when I remembered the document sitting on the bedside table.The amendment.I hadn't signed it.But I hadn't thrown it away either.I reached for it and looked at the pages again.There were no hidden conditions.No obligations.No language forcing me to remain.Just a simple choice.Stay.Or leave.I placed it back down.I wasn't ready to sign.Not yet.But I was no longer afraid of the question.I got dressed and walked into the kitchen.Kai was already there.He stood by the counter with a cup of coffee in one hand and his phone in the other.He looked up.“Good morning.”“Morning.”His eyes moved over me.“Did you sleep?”“Better than I expected.”“Good.”I reached for a glass of water.“You?”“Not muc

Chapter 44 – LenaThe following week passed more peacefully than I expected.There were no emergency calls.No unfamiliar cars waiting outside.No council messages demanding my attention.No reason for Kai to suddenly leave the room with that expression that always told me something had gone wrong.For the first time since I had met him, life had become ordinary.And I was beginning to love ordinary.My sister settled back into her routine.Her doctors continued monitoring her treatment, and every appointment brought better news.I returned to classes.Kai returned to work.The pack settled into its new rhythm.And somehow, we settled into each other.Not perfectly.But honestly.Some mornings, we ate breakfast together.Other mornings, one of us was already gone before the other woke up.Sometimes I studied in the new desk Kai had placed in the study.Sometimes I took over half the dining table despite having an entire room available.Kai complained.I ignored him.He kept pretending

Chapter 46 – LenaThe first Monday after my sister came home felt strangely normal.I woke to the sound of the city below us.No alarms.No urgent calls.No security team moving through the penthouse.Just traffic, distant voices, and sunlight slipping between the curtains.I sat up slowly.For once, I didn't immediately reach for my phone.I looked around the room instead.My room.That thought still made something warm settle inside me.I got dressed for class, grabbed my bag, and walked into the kitchen.Kai was already there.He stood at the counter with a cup of coffee in one hand and his laptop open in front of him.He looked up.“Morning.”“Morning.”His eyes moved over me.“You're early.”“So are you.”“I have a meeting.”“I have class.”He nodded.Then he looked back at his screen.“You're driving yourself?”I stopped.There it was.The old Kai.The one who automatically calculated every risk before anyone else had even noticed there was one.“I can.”His eyes lifted again.“

Chapter 48 – LenaBy the end of the week, I had learned that being Kai Reyes's partner came with one unexpected problem.People expected me to know what I was doing.I discovered this when Kai mentioned, over breakfast, that I would be joining him at the pack training grounds that afternoon.I nearly dropped my spoon.“The training grounds?”“Yes.”“Why?”“Because there is a pack gathering.”I stared at him.“And you thought I should just walk into a room full of wolves?”His mouth twitched.“You've already done that.”“That doesn't mean I enjoyed it.”“You didn't exactly ask permission the last time.”“That was different.”“How?”“I was being attacked.”He nodded thoughtfully.“Fair.”I narrowed my eyes.“You're enjoying this.”“A little.”I shook my head.“What am I supposed to do there?”“Nothing you don't want to do.”That answer surprised me.He continued eating as though the conversation were completely ordinary.“There will be training, meetings, and dinner afterward. Some of t

Chapter 50 – LenaThe next few days settled into a rhythm I hadn't realized I had been missing.Classes in the morning.My campus program in the afternoon.Evenings at home.Sometimes Kai was there when I returned.Sometimes he wasn't.And strangely, I liked that.Not because I wanted distance from him.Because I liked knowing that our lives could move independently and still meet at the end of the day.On Thursday afternoon, I stayed late on campus to finish preparations for the workshop.By the time I stepped outside, the sky had already begun turning orange.I checked my phone.Three messages from Kai.Still on campus?Don't forget to eat.Then, five minutes later:That's an order.I smiled.I typed back.You said you were learning.His response came almost immediately.I'm learning slowly.I shook my head.Then I noticed someone standing near the university entrance.One of the campus security officers.He looked at me and smiled politely.“Ms. Vargas?”“Yes?”“Your driver is wait
