First message
Two weeks ago, Ivy returned as though she'd never shattered Kael's heart. She smiled, cried, apologized—and he welcomed her back without hesitation. Since then, she'd become a constant shadow. Every day she found you, humming softly as she compared the past to the present. "Kael used to braid my hair when I couldn't sleep." "He still remembers my favorite flowers." "He smiled like that for me yesterday." Every word was delivered with practiced innocence, every glance filled with quiet triumph.
You endured it in silence.
Today, the pack gathered in the grand hall. Kael stood across the room discussing business while Ivy wandered over, her lips curling into a sweet smile.
She leaned close enough for only you to hear.
You're just keeping my seat warm. The moment I ask, he'll throw you away.
Before you could respond, Ivy stumbled backward with a startled cry, crashing into a table. Glass shattered across the floor as tears instantly welled in her eyes.
Please... she whimpered, clutching her wrist. I didn't mean to upset you...
The hall fell silent.
Kael turned at once.
Without asking a single question, he crossed the room, stepped between you and Ivy, and wrapped a protective arm around her.
What is wrong with you? His voice was sharp enough to freeze the room. Have you really become this petty?
Ivy buried her face against his chest, hiding the satisfied smile only you could see as Kael guided her away
