“Because I felt it.” I admitted, my voice trembling. “Caroline’s pain, her confusion it was like my heart was hurting for her. I didn’t understand it, Caleb. But when I reached the place…I saw you holding het..” I trailed off, shame flooding through me. “I didn’t know what to think.”

He stared at me for a moment, his jaw tightening. “Autora,” he said finally, his tone measured, “did you… mistake the situation for something else?”

I couldn’t answer. My silence hung heavy between us, louder than any words I could have spoken. My shame rooted me to the spot, and I looked away, biting the inside of my cheek

His sigh was soft but carried the weight of his emotions. He moved closer, lowering his voice.

“You don’t have to be confused or afraid, Aurora. You’re the only one in my heart–alv as it choosing his words carefully. “She’s not my mate. I don’t have any romantic feeli

aroline is my friend, my family even, but she’s not…” He paused, her; I never did and I never will.”

“She’s Damien’s mate,” he said, his voice gentle but firm. “That’s why she’s hurting. Damien’s the future Alpha of our neighboring pack. She’s afraid of what that means–afraid of leaving us, leaving everything she’s ever known behind. She came to me because she didn’t know how to face it alone.”

I looked at him, the knot in my chest slowly unraveling. “You’re sure?”

His hand found mine, his grip steady and reassuring. “I’m sure, Aurora. You never have to doubt where my heart is. It’s with you. Always.”

I sighed heavily, a wave of relief washing over me as I turned to Caleb. *You know, I understand her well,” I started, looking over at the floor where Damien and Caroline lay.

“The fear of having to completely uproot yourself from everything you know, from the comfort and familiarity, just to move somewhere else… somewhere you don’t know a soul except for one person.” My hands fidgeted as I spoke, my emotions spilling out.

“It’s terrifying, isn’t it? That kind of dependence, that kind of gamble. All you have is hope that they’ll catch you when you fall.”

Caleb stayed quiet, his gaze fixed on me, and I couldn’t tell if he was actually listening or if his mind had wandered somewhere else.

“And, I guess…that’s the thing with Caroline and Damien. He’s the only anchor she would have in that scenario. The thought of being with him–it’s not just about love, Caleb. It’s about trust and risking everything for it. That’s… hard to admit.”

I let out a shaky laugh, shaking my head as I tried to pull myself together. “I’m sorry for misunderstanding the situation earlier,” I said, forcing myself to meet his eyes.

“I know I’ve been difficult about all of this, but-” I stopped mid–sentence when I noticed his expression. He wasn’t looking at me with annoyance or indifference. Instead, his brows were furrowed, his lips pressed into a thin line, and his eyes were filled with something else entirely–concentration. As if he was trying to figure something out.
