Sighing, Jean chimed in, "That woman is such a nuisance. She's like a leech; you can't shake her off!" After a brief silence, Jack piped up, "If she's dead, her stocks will belong to me." "Is that true?" Jean asked with glee. I trembled violently when I heard the suggestion. Was my husband thinking of killing me? I stood there, frozen. At that moment, a chill swept through my entire body, leaving me trembling uncontrollably. I had never imagined that the man I shared a bed with, the husband I trusted, would be planning to kill me.

His gaze flicked between Kael and me as we slid into the backseat, his expression unreadable. “Problems?” Zane asked, starting the car. Kael leaned back against the seat, running a hand through his hair. “Handled.” Zane’s eyes flickered toward me in the rearview mirror. “And her?” I lifted my chin, meeting his gaze head-on. “Still alive. Obviously.” Zane snorted but didn’t push. Instead, he focused on the road as he sped through the empty streets of New York, putting distance between us and the ambush site.

Forever. The storm was far from over. Zane had retreated, but the battle—the war—was just beginning. And when he returned, he would find more than he ever anticipated. Because we were ready. Because Ester was mine. Because no predator, no Alpha, no Silver Light would ever take what belonged to us. The hollow had ignited. And the storm had only just begun.

Just the ticking clock, the stale scent of coffee, and the soft sound of Pepper climbing onto the table to lick a few crumbs that weren’t even his. I sat at the dining chair, body heavy, mind blank. It felt absurd, out there the world had turned into a circus, but in here, I was just a woman in pajamas, trying to figure out where to start cleaning up the wreckage. The front door opened. Footsteps. Steady, heavy, unhurried. Not Diego. And not anyone who’d dare come in without permission. Zane stood in the doorway, still in his long black coat, hair a little disheveled, face tight. But his eyes...God, his eyes carried the same storm I’d been holding back since morning.

He was still standing there, like a silhouette in the distance, slowly fading into the fog. Some people were only meant to accompany you for a part of your journey, and our path together had long since come to an end. Now, being at peace and well was the best ending for us both. I turned forward, closed the car window, and looked ahead, my heart calm. The fog gradually lifted, sunlight spilling gently, and I knew this was the start of a new beginning.

His sheep followed him. There's nothing in this world that compares to the smell of a brand new rain. The way each drop falls on the leaves and travels to the stem and journeys down to the roots. The smell is so calming. The drizzling sound from the outside was not heard by the couple making out in the mud hut. The only sound was from the light burning in the room where the bunch of twigs burning in splitters lays stagnant to the dancing reviving fire in the corner. The cracking sound from the burning wood was soothing and Zona felt warmer despite the heat their naked bodies generated. However, his wife- Zaire, and Zeneba's mother, Zagerba seemed to be in a different dimension from his in te

"No. Just around pizza. We dress for dinner when it's served in the Great Hall. But tonight, it's Fend for Yourself Night at the Zoo." "I can see that." I chuckled. But although it was crazy, I liked it. For the first time in my life, I felt like I finally belonged... and I hadn't had that in a very long time. When the feeding frenzy was over and my stomach was full, I felt so tired I thought I was going to drop. "You okay?" Elias asked when I leaned onto his arm. "I'm tired. I think I'll go to bed." "You've had a big day, and you may be in shock, too." He gently brushed the hair away from my face. "Come on. I'll take you upstairs to tuck you in."

My fingertips played with the grains of mud stuck to them and I noticed the mere touch sent light tingles through my hand. To the left of me, I heard a sudden crunch of twigs and vibrations through the ground. I looked over to see Zekan approaching with a deer hanging over his shoulder. “Good, I was hoping you’d wake up soon. I was starting to worry”. He said as he slumped the dead animal onto the floor. “What, what happened?” My voice croaked. “You fully turned”. He said bluntly as he sat down next to me. “How are you feeling?”

“I know what it is.” She squinted at it for what seemed like forever for the two others before translating; “It was a full moon The three of us were set loose. We never knew it was a game to one of us doom, And to the two of us that escaped, a mental bruise ...” She stopped reading when she heard the continuous clicks of Wilkes' phone as he took pictures of it. She shifted her eyeballs from Wilkes and looked back at the writing. “I was one of the two,

Zane got out of the car and stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar forest before her. She had forgotten since when she had last stepped into this place, months ago? It felt like forever to her. The nagging feeling of not being able to fit in or be accepted was getting into her.
