His fingers are touching my thighs, but his eyes hold no emotion for me to tell his thoughts. It’s unusual. “Cassian?” I press my hands on his chest, but not in a way to resist him, but to feel his heart’s rhythm. “I told you it's all about the primal instinct,” he says, bringing his lips to touch mine. My hands let go off his chest as our lips touch, our tongue having a taste of each other. It feels different, not like it used to be. He withdraws himself from me, and our eyes are locked to each other. I have so many questions to ask him, but his eyes on me seem to answer them. His face… he was the werewolf who'd stood beside them, and had chased me out of my home. “It's true… Cassian, it’s true…” My voice is shaky as I step back from him. “What's that about?” He asks, feigning ignorance of what I mean. “My parents… you killed them… you stood beside their bodies!” ******************************************************** Things took a shift after Liam's betrayal of selling me out to Alpha Cassian. It awoke every thought and trauma I'd buried within me, having them come alive to haunt me. Cassian wanted my essence for his curse, to perform a bloodshroud that was supposed to be his cure and the end of me. But he didn't go on with it. Strangely, he called me his mate. How was that even possible since I was a human and he was a werewolf? I’d thought a human like me couldn't become a werewolf, but Cassian wouldn't let go of his claim. I felt darkness and chaos around him, but soon, I started to fall for him. I wanted to keep everything behind me even though the memory of my parents’ death still haunted me. But at the new leaf I was about to turn, I discovered Cassian must have killed my parents, soaked himself with their blood, and chased me out of my home. How was I supposed to go on with this revelation?

Stepping Out of the Silence Sometimes the quietest lives hold the loudest storms. Elliot Van Doren hasn’t left his apartment in two years. Once a brilliant young entrepreneur, a tragic accident silenced the world outside his walls. Now his days are ruled by routine — work, solitude, and the ghosts of the parents he lost. With his best friend Noah as his only lifeline, Elliot survives by keeping the world at bay. Then Val arrives. His new neighbor is everything he isn’t — loud, impulsive, alive. Her laughter spills into the hallway like sunlight he can’t shut out. What begins as irritation turns to uneasy curiosity, and soon, Val’s presence stirs something Elliot thought he’d buried: the ache to live again. But healing is never a straight line. When one careless clash between them unravels the fragile calm Elliot has built, both must face what they’ve been running from — her fear of being unlovable, his fear of being seen. With the help of Noah and a patient therapist, Elliot begins to take his first steps back into a world that once broke him. *Stepping Out of the Silence* is a quiet, deeply human story about grief, connection, and the courage it takes to start again — one step, one word, one breath at a time.
