CHAPTER 19

HATRED AND HATE

MATTEO

The moment Brianna waved her fingers towards me, darkness came next. Heavy, thick, smothering darkness. I wasn’t sure if I was floating or sinking, only that my limbs felt like they’d been filled with wet cement.

I don't know how long the whole world was silent or how.long my ears and senses stopped functioning, but a voice came next. One too close it wasn't hard to tell it was close to my ears.

“Matteo… wake up.”

My eyes fluttered open as I blinked, trying to

    EPILOGUECAPS AND OPEN SKIESCALLIEA few months changed everything. Not in the dramatic, lightning-strike way I used to expect life to shift. Not in explosions or scandals or whispered rumors tearing through hallways. It changed quietly. Steadily. Like sunrise.Graduation morning came with clear skies and that soft, golden light that made everything look like it belonged in a memory already. The campus lawn was covered in rows of white chairs, families scattered everywhere, cameras flashing like nervous little stars. I adjusted my gown for the tenth time.Sienna nudged me. “If you keep pulling at it, it’s going to wrinkle.”“It already feels like a tablecloth,” I muttered. She laughed, eyes bright. She looked happy. Not tense. Not watchful. Just happy.Matteo stood a few feet away, hands in his pockets, scanning the crowd in that calm, protective way he always did. Santiago was beside him, but today there was no coiled readiness in his posture. No underlying tension. Just pride.And

    CHAPTER 127WHEN THE CROWN SLIPPEDCALLIEWe weren’t even there when it happened. That was the strangest part. We were in the kitchen when the first message came through. Then another. Then five more in a row. My phone started vibrating across the counter like it was trying to escape. Sienna picked hers up first. Her eyebrows climbed slowly. “Well,” she said under her breath, almost impressed. “That didn’t take long.”Marco looked up from the coffee machine. “What?” She turned the screen toward us. It was a video. A lecture hall. Packed. Stella standing at the front near a projector screen. The caption read: You need to see this. Santiago stepped closer beside me, his shoulder brushing mine. I could feel the quiet tension still coiled inside him from last night, though it wasn’t sharp anymore. It was protective. Grounded. Sienna pressed play.The video was shaky at first, filmed from somewhere in the middle rows. Stella stood at the podium, polished and poised like she always was. Hai

    CHAPTER 126CRACKS IN THE ARMORCALLIEThe house still smelled like adrenaline and broken glass when the front door opened again. I was sitting on the couch now, wrapped in one of Matteo’s hoodies, my hands finally steady enough to hold a glass of water without spilling it. Luca was still on the floor across the room, wrists zip-tied behind his back, blood dried along his lip, eyes swollen and wary. Marco stood near him like a guard dog that had already bitten once and was fully prepared to do it again.The door shut. Santiago walked in first. He took one look at my face and stopped. Not slowed. Stopped. His gaze moved from me to the shattered console table, to the overturned chair, to Luca on the floor. “What happened?” His voice wasn’t loud. It was controlled in that terrifying way that meant the explosion was coming. Marco didn’t answer right away. Santiago stepped further inside. His eyes landed on the faint bruising already forming on my wrist. Everything in him changed. He cross

    CHAPTER 125WHEN SILENCE BREAKS.CALLIEThe moment he stepped forward and blocked the door from closing, something inside me snapped fully awake. Not fear exactly. Recognition. This was no longer a conversation.“Move,” I said, trying to shove the door harder.He pushed back with one hand, easy, casual strength like it cost him nothing. The door swung wider under his control, and before I could step back, he was inside. The click of the door shutting behind him sounded too loud.“You didn’t have to make this difficult,” he said.My heart started pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears. “Get out of my house.”He ignored that. “You think I don’t see it?” he went on, stepping closer. “The way they look at you. The way they touch you. You think that doesn’t make me want…”“Stop,” I snapped, backing up. He advanced. “You don’t get to decide who touches me,” I said, my voice shaking despite how hard I tried to steady it.“You let them,” he shot back. “You let three of them. But I’m sup

    CHAPTER 124 WHEN PEACE LIESCALLIEThe house had felt different the moment everyone left. Not empty. Not lonely. Just… still.Santiago had gone out for a walk, claiming he needed “fresh air and character development,” which I suspected just meant he wanted music and space. Marco and Matteo had left together without much explanation. Something quiet between them. Sienna had mentioned seeing a friend and slipped out not long after. And just like that, it had been me. Alone. But it was really so bad. I liked it. I hadn’t realised how rarely that happened until I was standing in the kitchen, listening to the hum of the refrigerator and the faint ticking of the clock. No overlapping conversations. No footsteps upstairs. No low voices drifting down the hall. Just silence.Yesterday’s peace replayed in my head. The breakfast. The laughter. Marco pretending he wasn’t watching all of us like we were fragile glass. Santiago philosophising about adults forgetting they were allowed to exist. It

    CHAPTER 123QUIET MORNINGSMARCOMorning light spilled lazily through the dining room windows, soft and gold, the kind that made everything feel warmer than it probably was. The house smelled like coffee and butter and something sweet Callie had insisted on adding to the table even though none of us needed more sugar in our lives.I was already seated when Matteo walked in, hair still slightly damp from a shower, looking far more rested than he had any right to be. Sienna followed him, tying her hair back, her expression calm in that quiet way she had when she felt safe. Santiago burst in last.“Is that cinnamon?” he demanded, as if he’d personally funded the grocery run.“It’s French toast,” Callie replied from the kitchen doorway, proud and unbothered. “And you’re welcome.” Plates were passed around. Coffee mugs clinked softly. Matteo reached for the syrup like it was a strategic decision. For once, nobody was tense.“So,” Matteo said between bites, “what’s everyone doing today?”“

    Chapter 4: MateAfter Santiago disappeared into the crowd, I needed a moment to collect myself. My skin was still tingling where he'd touched me, and my wolf was restless, confused by the multiple mate bonds pulling at me."I need another drink," I told Sienna, fanning my flushed face."Good idea.

    Chapter 3: He's Lickable"I..." My brain had apparently stopped functioning. Santiago De La Cruz was standing in front of me, asking to buy me a drink, and I couldn't form a coherent sentence.His smile widened, like he knew exactly the effect he had on me. "Cat got your tongue, hermosa?""I alread

My hands were still shaking slightly on the steering wheel, adrenaline from the confrontation with Luca pumping through my veins. My phone kept buzzing with notifications, but I i

    Chapter 1: CallieI stood outside Luca's apartment door, my heart hammering against my ribs like it was trying to escape. Tonight was supposed to be different. Special. After six months of dating, I'd finally decided I was ready to take things further with him.My hands smoothed down the front of m
