LOGINAria’s POVI stare at my phone for what feels like forever, waiting for Lucien to reply to my text.The last few hours are filled with nothing but silence, endless overthinking, and painful memories I desperately try to push out of my mind.Alexio has hurt me a lot these past few days, but I can’t let that destroy our relationship. I need to do my best, even if it means communicating with his best friend.Even if it involves me improving my sex life, I don’t mind, I just want to keep him by any means necessary.Then, my screen suddenly lights up, I see Lucien's name on it.My heart skips a beat.I grab my phone and open the message so quickly that my fingers almost slip. “If you are serious about keeping Alexio, you’ll need stamina training for real.” He says.I frown and blink at the screen.Stamina training?What does that even mean?Before I can type out a reply or ask for an explanation, another message pops up.“Meet me at the gym inside the hockey club tomorrow for it.

How can I sleep knowing the man down the hall is an Alpha and my wolf is clawing desperately toward the surface?By the time dawn creeps in, I’ve already made my choice.I’ll survive a few months. Save every dollar. And then I’ll disappear. Put as much distance as possible between myself and Jax Steele. If he finds out what I am, the words rogue or spy will come easily to him. And I have no one, no pack, no protection to stand between me and what follows.Then Sophie appears in my doorway.She’s clutching a stuffed wolf, barefoot and still dressed in her pajamas. Her curls are a tangled mess, cheeks flushed from sleep. She doesn’t say a word. She just climbs onto the bed and curls into my side.Like it’s where she belongs.“Morning, Ella-mama,” she murmurs.“Good morning, sweetheart,” I whisper. “Did you sleep okay?”She nods. “I had good dreams. You were there.”My chest tightens as I smooth a hand over her hair, breathing in the faint scent of strawberry shampoo.“Want to help me m

Ella's POV And he stands without leaving, we simply look at each other.He looks worn out. More exhausted than I’ve ever seen him.His eyes stay on mine, carrying an emotion I can’t explain. There is sadness… longing… and something else hidden deep inside them.“You should go inside and get some sleep,” he says in a quiet voice.I don’t answer, I take a slow step toward him, till I am very close to him.His body grows still, and his breathing becomes slightly heavier.“Ella…”He whispers my name, his voice low and filled with an emotion I can’t quite understand.I slowly raise my hand and gently touch his cheek.His skin feels warm beneath my fingertips. He looks into my eyes.“What is the matter?” he asks softly.I don’t answer right away, I continue looking into his eyes intensively.One memory after another fills my mind, as I stare at him. I remember the fight, misunderstanding, sacrifices, betrayal and the love we used to have for each other.And the love we keep trying to deny,
ELLA It will never be my home.The thought slips out under my breath, a clear denial, but there’s no one left to hear it. He’s long gone.Jax follows his teammate out of the classroom, the door swinging shut behind them, leaving me stranded in the hollow quiet. I stay frozen for a moment, staring
ELLA The rest of the morning unfolds in a way that feels strangely unreal, as though I’ve stepped into a life that was never meant to belong to me.Sophie and I completely ignore the carefully typed schedule taped neatly to the refrigerator. Wake times, learning blocks, meals it all gets forgotte

ELLA“Just tell me what’s next.” I mutter under my breath walking behind him.I follow a step behind him, moving carefully so I don’t disturb the sleeping child curled against my chest.Every instinct I have is on edge. I’m walking deeper into the house of the same man who watched me be humiliated
