Third Pov:The Red Raven pack mansion echoed with the laughter of guests as Lady Paula relished the company of her affluent counselor's wives during their own tea gathering.Unbeknownst to Tabitha, who hurried down the stairs in a white miniskirt and matching top, her hair styled impeccably and heels clicking against the floor."Isn't she the future Luna Queen?" one of the guests observed Tabitha, raising an eyebrow as they turned to Paula.The others followed suit, their gazes assessing Tabitha, who paid no mind to the seated guests and continued on her way.Noticing the judgmental stares from her friends, Lady Paula decided it was time for damage control."Tabitha!" she called out to the rushing woman, who briefly paused, lifting her head from her phone to acknowledge her surroundings."Meet my friends--" Paula gave her a smile, subtly hinting for her to behave appropriately in front of the counselor's wives."Hello! Sorry, I don't have time for introductions. My friends are waiting

Carena:It had been five days, and life was relatively peaceful. But as they say, all good things must come to an end. And that's exactly what happened to me."Carena! Have you checked your phone?" Mrs. Bob marched out of the kitchen, hands on her hips and a stern look on her face."Why? Did I miss your message?" I asked, hastily grabbing my phone and finding a single text on it. It was from Sawyer. A frown creased my forehead because I could have sworn he had blocked me five days ago."He sent you the order for his breakfast," Mrs. Bob added before I even opened his text. That's when the whole breakfast delivery ordeal came crashing back.I honestly thought Sawyer had given up on the idea of us delivering breakfast from our bakery. But it seemed he wasn't done complicating my life and preventing me from forgetting about him."Okay! I will prepare the order and hand it over to Yamin," I muttered under my breath, hoping Mrs. Bob wouldn't object. Honestly, she shouldn't. What did it mat

Carena:"Sorry?" It was like I couldn't believe my own ears, so I had to ask him to repeat himself again. He sighed and leaned his head back, turning his face slightly toward me."Come back to me," he repeated, his eyes holding hopes that I didn't expect he was capable of."I don't want to," I replied bluntly. But deep down inside, my heart was skipping beats after beats."Carena! You made your point. You can move on faster than me," he commented, but I shook my head."There was no point I wanted to make. You think I only left to prove something? Sawyer, you genuinely hurt me, and then afterward, I saw your face, which convinced me I made the right choice. There's no going back anymore," although it hurt to say that, I didn't want to keep it to myself and give him the idea that I would return one day.He suddenly straightened his back and leaned toward me, "I'm admitting you won. Isn't that enough? I've never asked anyone twice to return to my life. You're the only person I fucking ca

Carena:I was now sitting in my bed with my phone in my hands. I couldn’t believe I had such a dream. It left me puzzled. I still had dried tears on my cheeks. I was even scared to open his messages. What if the nightmare was related to Sawyer getting angry at me and sending me threats?It wasn't like Sawyer to send someone so many messages. I sighed and started reading the messages, already surprised by the first text.**Ak Sawyer:** You staying beside me lessened my pain tonight. Even if it was for a few minutes, it meant the world to me.**Ak Sawyer:** I know you are angry with me. I have never seen someone resist me so hard. But I promise you, I never let her stay in your bedroom. This is the room where we started our journey, and I am the only one who will be using this room until you come back.**Ak Sawyer:** I am not saying that I am the best mate ever. I am not perfect, not even close. But I am willing to give my all for you. I know it sounds crazy because I have made such a h

Carena:I stayed in his embrace for a few minutes before pulling myself together and realizing I didn't want his comfort anymore. I quickly wiped my hands over my face before lifting my head and watching him."Why are you in the woods?" he asked, his tone a bit upset."I followed Paco but then lost him," I replied, hugging myself."Paco? Why would he be here?" His voice was filled with disbelief, which made me look into his eyes again."I saw him," I repeated, this time with more confidence."Do you have any idea how dangerous these woods are, especially at night?" he groaned in frustration, putting his hands on his waist and leaning over me slightly."Which is why I'm afraid for Paco," I muttered through clenched teeth.He closed his eyes and exhaled before looking back at me. This time, his gaze had softened."If I knew that dog meant this much to you, I would have gotten you another," he mumbled. Before I could correct him, he added, "You even left me for that dog."I wasn't sure w
