But she did not push him away, turned and looked into his eyes with such an aching caress that the young man understood: she sees in them the same shooting stars - melting, twinkling.

The moon, full and bright, cast a silvery light across the land, creating stark contrasts of light and shadow. The air was cool and still, carrying the faint scent of pine and earth. Stars glittered like distant diamonds in the vast expanse of the night sky, and an eerie silence hung in the air, broken only by the occasional rustle of leaves and the distant call of a night bird.

~Faye Perfect. My fingers dig under the window pane, sliding it up until the cool night air drifted through. It's not snowing tonight, but the air bites at my bare arms. There's no point in dressing up if I'm going to shift anyway. So instead, I sling my leg over the ledge, looking down at the ground below. Here's hoping the grass catches my fall. Taking a deep breath, I fall until my feet touch the ground, my ankles jarring in response. No one should be out this way tonight.

"Through the Night." We pulled. The violet thread didn't snap; it became a bridge. We were no longer in the Loom of Stars. We were falling through the Infinite Night—a realm of absolute darkness where the only light was the golden-violet glow of our joined hands. We hit a floor of solid shadows.

She was yanked back to reality as she felt herself lose a foot and stepping in the air, she stumbled forward and before she knew it…she was falling down the cliff hidden in the middle of the night. Falling was the last memory she had before her body hit the water. ~~~~ ‘Damn,’ Noah thought in the back of his mind. ‘Father won’t be happy about this, it’s past midnight.’ Despite the realization, the raven-haired boy still took his time walking around the dark woods. He found strange comfort in strolling in the middle of the night with nothing but the sound of rustling trees.

Through the trees, I could see the faint lights of lanterns burning along the ridgeline. The road curved toward the valley, toward the Pack and a father that had called me weak and used me.

His heart quickened in anticipation, and Nico had already returned inside with preparations to call Aria as soon as he found his phone when he looked up at the wall clock to find that it was several minutes past nine, meaning it would be three in the morning at Italy—and he let out an agonized groan, cursing himself for not making the connection earlier.
