“Adam and Dave talk about you a lot. And since they don’t think humans are intelligent, they aren’t very secretive about their conversations,” “Oh,” I grimace. “I haven’t seen my sister in years. I don’t know what she is like now, but offering her people a reward for kidnapping me doesn’t sound like Jenny,” Lily chuckles, and the others chime in. Confused, my eyes dart around the group to find them all smiling at each other. “What?” I ask them. “Did I say something funny?” “No,” Frankie shakes her head at me. “But we come from a place where we used to live in harmony with the angels. Their old king protected us and only ever ate other human tribes. And in return, we served him,”

He whispered, kissing my lips tenderly again. "Honestly, I am too." I admitted. We continued to talk about our childhood and our upbringing. I told him about how we learned to fight as early as 3 years old. I told him how we had gone on our first job at the age of 5 and how we all used our adorableness to get away with it. I went on to tell him about how we each emerged with our abilities and how crazy we were in our hormonal teenage phase. He asked me to tell him my best memory of my childhood and I could only think of one.

he said, pressing his temples gently. "In my entire life, I've never felt so overwhelmed by a woman. How can she be so crazy and difficult to handle? Even her own parents have given up on her. Now they've handed over the responsibility to me. My fate is truly unfortunate." He sighed heavily, feeling that the problems in his late twenties were more suffocating. Compared to his early twenties, the late twenties felt more burdensome because problems came one after another. And it didn't stop there; his mind continued to wander through the night in his home.

"A thousand times yes!” And in that moment, in the quiet solitude of our new sanctuary, I knew we were not just starting a life. We were beginning a new, beautiful story, one that was truly and completely ours.

We partied until dawn. We drank to the Moon Goddess. We drank to the Divine. We drank to our bond—though mine was water disguised in crystal glass. No one needed to know I wasn’t partaking in the wine and whiskey. The warmth of the night was enough to make anyone feel intoxicated. Laughter filled the air, the sound of music and clinking glasses echoing through the pack lands. Love bloomed like wildfire around us. The energy was high, magnetic—even the stars above seemed brighter in celebration.

floating around us, wrapping us in a bubble of bliss. In that moment, I knew deep in my heart that this was just the beginning—the start of our forever, a journey filled with laughter, adventure, and unwavering love. As friends and family swayed around us, I could only think, “What a beautiful way to start a new chapter.” And with that, Cole and I were ready to embrace the many adventures that awaited us in this phenomenal life ahead.

I giggled loudly and out of control as we both hoisted each other by the shoulders, serving as each other’s support system. “I can say the same about you. Now look at the both of us, all Fucked up. Remember when we used to go for war training and we would train so much that our skin burned? We would have to drain bottles of beer just to not feel like shit…” Rodney reminded me of our younger hungry years when we were barely men who were aware of the kind of life they were about to have. “Yeah…the thought of it makes me want to throw up all over your pretty car.”

"I still remember when we were kids, we used to play here." I want to smile because it seems like we're both okay but the truth is we don't get along. She was right, we both have memories of playing in this room because we were also close when we were kids but as we grew up, that's where I got to know her better and that's also where our quarrel started. I smiled even though it was forced. "You're right, there are so many memories in this room that it's nice to look back," I agreed.

My heart raced at the memories, and I felt more blood pump through my veins as my thirst for revenge surged. I inhaled slowly to calm the chaos down; today's for June. I don't want to bury him with that anger. I glanced back at his body; a memory sneaked into my mind, and I smiled. It was when Isla and I first menstruated. June mocked us. FLASHBACK We were 12; Isla and I had hung out without June because of the new development in our bodies. We sat facing each other on a bench in my mom's garden.

She sat next to me and took in one deepest breath, "you know how we started.. I mean in our teens we started off great because it was what we wanted.
