He wasn’t wrong. I just didn’t know how to handle someone loving me that deeply. It scared me almost as much as losing myself.

By the time I finally got up, the sky outside had already turned gray. I didn’t know if he’d come back tonight or if he just needed space. Either way, I decided not to call. Not yet.

I placed my phone on the table, drew in a shaky breath, and sat there for a long time, staring at the door.

That was exactly where I stayed waiting and thinking, not sure what would happen next.

The clock ticked louder than usual. I’d been sitting in the living room for hours, waiting for Daniel to come home. My stomach twisted every time a car passed by outside, only to fade again into silence.

I couldn’t sit still anymore. I grabbed my jacket and keys. Cole was outside, leaning against the car, scrolling through his phone. When he saw me, he straightened.

“Going somewhere, Luna?” he asked.

I scored, “Since when do you call me Luna?” I asked in surprise.

“I’m sorry. I heard the argument and I didn’t want to overstep.”

“I’m going to find Daniel,” I replied, walking toward the car.

He nodded and opened the back door for me. “I’ll drive.”

I shook my head. “No. I need to do this alone.”

He frowned. “It’s late. You shouldn’t-‘

“I’ll be fine, Cole.” I gave him a look that told him not to argue. “I’ll call if anything happens.”

He sighed, clearly not happy about it, but he stepped aside. “At least take the spare phone. In case yours dies.”

I took it from him and got into the driver’s seat. “Thanks.”

As soon as I started the engine, the house lights behind me grew smaller in the rearview mirror. I drove aimlessly at first, my thoughts running circles around everything that had happened. I shouldn’t have let him walk out like that.

Daniel wasn’t just my mate, he was the one person who always calmed me. And now, the house felt like it was caving in without him.

I checked the first bar near the company district. It was half full with mostly workers winding down for the night. There was no sign of him.

I went to another one across town. Same story. The bartender even gave me a sympathetic smile when I asked if he’d seen anyone matching Daniel’s description.

By the third place, I started to lose hope. Maybe he’d gone somewhere quiet. Daniel didn’t drink much when he was upset, he preferred silence.

I tried a small café he sometimes visited when he needed to clear his head. The lights were dim, soft music playing, but again -no Daniel.

I rubbed my temples and sighed. I was exhausted but not ready to give up. I ordered a cup of coffee I didn’t even drink, just to gather my thoughts. When I finally stood to leave, I bumped into someone near the door.

“Watch where you’re-” I started, then stopped when I saw his face.

“Mark?”

His smirk came before his words. “Amy. It’s been a while.”

I felt my entire body tense. “Not long enough,” I said flatly.

He chuckled, stepping closer. “Still sharp. I like that.”

I rolled my eyes and tried to move past him, but he blocked the doorway. “What do you want, Mark?”

He leaned against the doorframe, pretending to look casual. “Maybe a chance to talk. I heard your little fairy–tale romance with Daniel is still ongoing. It must be nice having everything you want handed to you.”

I crossed my arms. “You don’t know a thing about me.”

He tilted his head. “I know you used to have better taste.”

That did it. “You’re drunk,” I said, pushing past him.

He grabbed my wrist lightly, his voice low. “You don’t have to act like you’re so happy, Amy. We both know how fake some things can be. Come on, why don’t we-”

I yanked my hand free. “Why don’t you shove it down your throat and go back to Clara where

His smirk vanished. “Clara and I-”
