It ended with Maggie getting dragged out by security.

******* “What's with your getup?“ Arthur asked in amusement, sliding into a seat opposite Richard's. Richard removed his dark shades, tugging his cap closer to his eyes. “I don't wanna be recognized.“ Arthur nodded, but his lips were still curled-up in smiles. “Is that why you chose a table at this secluded corner?“ “As I said, I don't wanna be recognized.“ Richard hissed. “This coffee shop happens to be my hideout now.“ Arthur nodded.

His apartment's elevators were hijacked by the press and paparazzi. They were hellbent on getting a

She shouts, her skin darkening with each word. That's when I realised that she was about to shift, that we would see her other form for the first time all because we made her angry, We had taken her to a point where she couldn't control the shift. Where her body was taking over and the other part of her wanted out, the site was breathtaking, her skin being swapped for feathers, each one the colour fire. she was much larger than I would have thought, her red eyes staring back, daring us to make a move against her. but none of did, We simply watched her in awe. Dumb struck by her beauty.

This guy was absolutely bat-sh*t crazy. The king continues despite my silence. "Shifters, like wolves, also have mates. They mate for life and share a strong bond with their mates. A shifter will know when he's met his." I have no idea where he's going with this. "I knew when I saw you, Hera," he says carefully. "What?" I say. "I knew you were my mate."

“Your body might be starting the shifting process, Sky. You can’t just discount discomfort.” I took her wrist and gently moved it away from my neck. “How about I try to make dinner and you tell me about how this whole thing works.” Her eyebrow went up. “Did you…did you not learn about shifting?” Pulling out a knife and cubing up the spam, I laughed. “I mean, you kind of tend to tune out things you don’t think you’re ever going to need. Plus, when everyone around us was shifting, we were pretty much on lock down to make sure we wouldn’t. Since it’s not a birthday thing, Father thought we might shift past the inhibitor.”

Leaning against his chest, I listened to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. Maybe Jake was truly an anomaly, a time traveler who should never have existed. Maybe our world really did contain glitches, with two overlapping sets of memories and residual traces that reality failed to erase. But what about it? I loved him, and he loved me. Soon, we would have a baby together. Tomorrow, Brandon and Rachel might officially announce their relationship. My parents would probably bring over even more baby supplies. Work might bring new challenges. Life might bring new troubles. Yet, all of it would be part of the reality we faced together—one that was real, warm, imperfect, yet beautiful.

“I hate every one of you. “I never want to see any of you again.” Then the light swallowed me. And I disappeared from the shifter world for good. --- Three years had passed since I returned to my own world. At first, I still woke from nightmares, trapped again in that other life. But work grew busier. Time moved on. Slowly, the memories faded. The shifters’ faces blurred until they no longer seemed real. Sometimes, I wondered whether it had all been nothing more than a nightmare.

She stared at the wall and counted her breaths. He worked methodically, never rushing, never pulling. The backs of his fingers grazed her skin through the thin fabric, each time a little lower, each time more deliberate. When he reached the final button low against her spine, the dress loosened and fell to the floor, leaving her standing in only her shift. “Is that better?” he asked. She nodded. The sound of rain filled the room. Slowly, he slipped the shift down her arm, exposing her shoulder and the curve of her throat. His fingers lingered.

Reality splits along invisible lines, like glass under pressure, and suddenly— We’re not on the ship anymore. Not physically. Not mentally. Somewhere else. The fragment’s internal structure is not a place. It’s a system. A shifting, layered network of patterns and pathways that don’t obey distance or direction. Up doesn’t exist. Neither does down. Everything is movement. Flow. Change. And we are inside it. Matteo swears. “Okay. I take it back. I definitely was not prepared for this.” His voice echoes strangely.
