Chapter Song: Run and Hide by NerdOut Unknown POV My paws pound on the ground with the hardness of thunder. What was I thinking? Truth is, I wasn't. I needed to talk to her. I thought it would be the perfect way to do so. Fuck was I wrong. I find more power from deep within and push my paws harder. Small hands pulling at my fur and I speed through the woods to safety. That Rogue was one of his, I could smell it.

“I may have been too hard on her. I’ll go see her.” “She might be sleeping,” Grandmother tried, but Diana was already moving but just before she reached Rose’s room, her phone buzzed. “Mrs. Westwood,” a clipped voice said, “Mr. Maxwell has canceled the California deal.” Diana froze, color draining from her face. Then she stormed back outside. “Kelvin!” she snapped, fury blazing. “You told me everything was fine!” He stammered, “Ma’am, I—” “You lied to me.” She shoved him closer to the pool’s edge, her voice venom. “You will fix this. Arrange a meeting with Maxwell or I’ll make sure you don’t come out of that pool in one piece.”

If anything, they were gaining. Neon’s voice suddenly crackled through some kind of speaker from one of the cars behind us. “You can run, Liam, but you can’t hide. And when I catch you…” His laugh followed, low and ugly. “…I’ll make sure she sees exactly what you were meant to do to her.” My hands tightened into fists in my lap. Every muscle in my body was coiled tight. We sped around a bend, the road narrowing with thick trees on either side. The headlights behind us dipped, then surged again.

He was offering truth—the kind that left no room for self-deception. “I don’t want to lose you,” Adrian whispered. “Then stop hiding from me.” Tears burned at the back of Adrian’s eyes, and he turned his face away before they could fall. He had spent so long hiding—from his family, from his friends, from himself. And Liam… Liam was asking him to step into the light, fully exposed. But could he? Adrian opened his mouth, ready to try, when movement caught his eye across the park. A figure lingered near the trees—half-hidden, but unmistakable.

I fixed my gaze on the fireplace behind him, letting the embers of it fuel my own fire. “Do you have no sense of self preservation?” He laughed, but it was cold and unamused. “Aliana has literally said that Greyhide Canyon are out to kill you. Whether we can trust her or not, that is too much of a risk to take. So no, Haile – you can’t run home to Blue Moon and gather up an army.” I huffed, annoyed at being spoken down to. “I understand the risk.”

Just raw vulnerability. Nathan sat behind the camera, fingers trembling slightly as he hit record. Ethan stared into the lens. Breathed in. And began. “My name is Ethan Hale. You’ve seen the headlines. You’ve heard the rumors. But this is what you haven’t heard because I was too afraid to say it.” He held up the letter. “This is a letter I wrote to the man I love. I never sent it. But tonight, I’m reading it. Because silence never protected me. And I’m done hiding.”

i buried that name under forged papers and cold silence but as we know some names don’t stay dead for long. I spent the last week convincing myself that hiding was strategy, not surrender and that staying invisible was the same as staying alive but by the fourth night of staring at cracked ceilings while listening to my own heartbeat, I realized hiding was just another cage so I reached for the small burner phone under the mattress and typed three words that changed everything.”We need to meet.”

Bustling out the door, I had only ran a steps away from him when I suddenly heard him yell out. "YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE!"

he replied, grabbing her shorts and pants and putting them into the suitcase. She stood still and crossed her arms over her chest angrily. "I have money, I can do this myself." Dmitri now found out another thing about Felicity is her stubbornness. He sighed. "That may be so, but do you know how to hide from witches?" he questioned. "No, but-"

He reacts like he is the father of the baby in her womb. "Judgment I see." She smiled sweetly. "But you're wrong. I just wanted to keep it a secret because it is still too chaotic. I don't want to give my child a chaotic life because I know how hard it is to live in that kind of world. " "But it doesn't justify that you hide your pregnancy from my brother." Anger reflected on Ares's face. "I know I don't have the authority to make decisions for you. But I can't allow you to hide this from my brother. He is still the father of the baby in your womb. "
