I had planned to swing by Rowan’s office to borrow a few reference books, but when I got there, he was already deep into an experiment that clearly wasn’t going his way. He kept repeating the same step, over and over, and every time it fell apart at the exact same point. I watched for a bit, then casually mentioned a different approach! would’ve taken.

That was all it took.

Something clicked for him instantly. You could see it happen, like the whole chain of logic finally lined up in his head. The next thing I knew, he was pulling me into the experiment, walking through every step with me, and before I could even think about leaving, I was stuck there running trials with him until it was past ten.

By the time I finally left the lab, exhaustion had already settled into my bones.

Lyra stirred immediately, more alert than she had any reason to be, and that alone was enough to tell me I wasn’t imagining it.

I picked up my pace.

By the time I reached my door, there he was.

Kade.

Waiting like he’d been there for a while.

Even though I had already guessed it might be him, the sight still caught me off guard. “Kade? What are you doing here?”

He didn’t answer right away. He just looked at me, steady and unreadable, like he was trying to figure something

She was completely focused, her fingers resting lightly against my wrist, cool against my skin, her expression steady and intent like nothing else mattered in that moment.

Something stirred in me, quiet but unfamiliar.

“I’m fine,” I said, my voice low, softer than expected it to sound.

She looked up at me, her brows still drawn together. “Your bloodtine and wolf aura feel stable. Nothing’s off there. But you don’t look great. Probably stress.”

She let go of my arm and turned to unlock the door. “Come on, let’s talk inside.”

This wasn’t my first time here.

I stepped in behind her, moving without hesitation, opening the shoe cabinet and grabbing a pair of disposable slippers like it was second nature.

She headed into the kitchen, and a moment later came back with two glasses. She handed one to me. “I made this myself. It’ll help you relax. Drink it and get some sleep, you’ll feel better in the morning.”

Our fingers brushed when I took it, just for a second, but it was enough to send a faint ripple through me.

“Thanks,” I said quietly, taking a sip.

The taste was clean and light, and as it went down, it settled something restless in my chest.

She dropped onto the couch beside me, leaning back as she rolled her shoulder once before closing her eyes like she had already run out of energy.

I watched her for a moment before asking, “Why are you getting back this late?”

She opened her eyes and gave me a quick explanation about helping Rowan with an experiment.

We talked for a bit after that, nothing serious, just easy conversation.

After a while, she checked the time and looked over room’s ready, I keep it clean.”

I paused for a moment, then nodded. “Alright.”

She got up and brought me a fresh set of towels and toiletries. As she handed them over, she let out a small yown. “I’m exhausted. I’m going to bed. Make yourself at home.”

There was a faint trace of moisture at the corner of her eyes from how tired she was, and the sight hit me harder than I expected.

“Go get some sleep,” I said quietly. “I’ve got it.”

She nodded vaguely, already half asleep, and made her way toward her room.

After I washed up in the guest room and lay down, I realized I wasn’t going to fall asleep anytime soon.

My mind wouldn’t settle.

It kept circling back to her.

The first time we met, when she had complete control of the situation, calm, and decisive, forcing me into a negotiation without hesitation.

The way she worked when she treated me, precise, focused, never once doubting her own judgment.

And then that night.

When she was trapped in that nightmare, her voice low and unsteady, fear slipping through in a way that didn’t match the person she showed the world.

That memory stayed with me the longest.

I couldn’t shake it.

Was that a one–time thing, or did it happen more often than she let anyone see?

She had spent years locked away. If something had left a mark, that was where it started.
