The towns with their small circles. "I said no," he said. The silence that followed was warm. "Yeah?" she said softly. "It wasn't the right thing anymore." He paused. "Brooklyn is the right thing." She didn't say anything for a moment. Then: "Gerald just got his sixth leaf." "I know. You told me." "I'm telling you again." A pause. "It felt like the right moment to tell you again." He understood that. "Okay," he said. "Okay," she said.

I didn’t think he’d care that I stayed at Bianca’s last night. Michael: Please baby don’t leave I’m heading back home now. Michael: Holly, I know you’re upset, but please give me the chance to talk this out with you. There’s several more reminding me again that it’s not what it looked like, they’re just friends, etc. The last one I received was a one this morning, and I was already in bed by that point. Michael: I hope you give me some time tomorrow. I love you.

I sit on the bench, staring down at the ice, and all I can think is, where is she? “Rhett, what are you doing?” Laura's voice snaps me out of my thoughts. “You need to pull yourself together.” “I'm okay,” I nod, trying to mask my feelings. “No, you're not.” She gives me that motherly smile before sitting beside me. “Did she tell you?” “Did she tell me what?” “Did Lucy say goodbye to you?” My heart drops. “W-what do you mean?” “Lucy has left the country,” she says, her voice sad. “She did it secretly, but I was hoping she maybe left a letter or something.”

Cara “It’s… It’s gone.” Lucy’s voice is in my head. She sounds devastated. She sounds broken. “I know,” I reply to her softly. I can feel it. Whatever was left of the mate bond between Alaric and I… it’s completely and utterly gone. I look down at the birthday cake I pathetically bought for myself while I waited for Alaric. Waited for him to show up. Waited for him to care about me. “Our mate… I can’t believe it’s really gone now.” The sad sound of Lucy’s voice was almost too much for me to bear.

The shards crunched under my heels like punctuation marks. Behind me,the Alpha of Stone Lake stood frozen,cheek burning from my handprint

She didn’t need revenge. She just didn’t want to feel this empty. And if darkness was the only thing left that could fill her— "So be it." * That night, Lucy hugged Jo tightly. Her arms wrapped around her like a blanket Jo hadn’t realized she needed. Her smile was soft, but her eyes shimmered with nervous fire. “I’m leaving tomorrow,” Lucy said gently. “Just for a few weeks. Caleb finally got through to Peter… He agreed to talk. About my past. About the things that were hidden. Caleb wants to hear it directly from him.”

I officially returned to my post as a forensic pathologist. I heard Maddox was transferred elsewhere, but I didn't care. He did come to me once, asking to get back together. But after I harshly humiliated him, he backed off. After everything was finally settled, I took leave and returned to my hometown. I handed the mother worm I had taken from Jessica to my Grandaunt Tabitha, who knew how to dispose of it. With some effort, she burned the mother worm to death. Once the mother worm died, the child worm inside me disappeared as well.

On October 5th, while I was away on a business trip, he and Lucy spent the night tangled together on top of my clothes. My stomach churned violently. I rushed to the bathroom and threw up until my head spun. Then the auto-playing footage showed Lucas appearing in front of the safe. After taking out the bracelet he had once given me, his gaze shifted toward another document inside. My heart sank instantly, dread creeping up my spine. It was the property agreement my mother had left me before she died—the very last thing she left behind in this world. Yet in the footage, Lucas turned around and handed it directly to Lucy.

The reason I didn't leave with her back then was because I thought I had already used two chances. If I used the last one, I might never see Liam again. Later, I found out the second crossing had been nothing but one of his lies. But Liam was different. He followed me here, then went back to check the footage, then crossed again to find me. Three times. He had used them all. There was no going back for him now. Everything he built in his original world would be gone. But I didn't say any of that. I just pulled my hand out of his grasp.
