I turned, surprised to see Leo standing there, his eyes calm, yet filled with something unspoken.
"Leo?" I asked, utterly confused. "What are you doing here?"
He flashed a small, knowing smile. "Why shouldn't I be here? You're on vacation, I'm on vacation."
I wasn't buying it. "Tell me the truth."
Leo shrugged, his tone casual, almost too casual.
first few years, I couldn't take you anywhere because of my leg. Then, when I got better, I threw myself into pack business, trying to rebuild, Take things right. I didn't have time for anything else. But... I'm trying to make time now. For you."
A cold sensation crept up my spine, and I turned to face him fully.
His words felt off. I looked into his eyes, searching for answers.
"Did you and Andrew have a complete falling out?"
His jaw tightened slightly, but his face remained unreadable.
"Leo, I pressed, my voice firm. "Did you?"
Leo didn't answer. His silence was heavy, a tension hanging between us like the unsaid words we both knew.
I could feel the weight of the unspoken truth pressing down on me: it was because of me. It had always been because of me that Leo and Andrew found themselves at odds again.
Their clash, a conflict of alpha egos, sparked by the one thing neither of them could control-me.
I took a deep breath and tried to ease the burden I carried.
"There's no need for you to fall out with your father because of me," I began, my voice quiet yet firm.
"Andrew still has influence in the werewolf world. He retains power, loyal henchmen... Even if you don't see eye to eye, he's still a force in the pack. I'm just a Luna who's been... separated from you," I continued, my voice faltering slightly on that last part. The word 'separated' felt bitter on my
tongue.
"You should be able to tell who's more important. Who carries more weight in this fight."
Leo's eyes flashed as he turned to me, his voice rising in protest, strong and unwavering.
"You are much more important than both Andrew and Silvermoon combined," he declared, the intensity of his words catching me off guard.
"I've known for a long time that this day would come. Don't think for a second that I regret it."
I blinked in surprise, unsure how to respond.
Leo continued before I could interrupt, "It's not a complete break just yet. I didn't want you to worry or feel guilty. I can handle my father, and this fight... it's not over yet. It's still unclear who will win or lose."
He said it to comfort me, to ease the gnawing guilt I felt about the situation.
But how could I not feel responsible? Still, I nodded, trying to let his words sink in, to believe that it wasn't all on my shoulders.
We stayed silent for a while after that, the waves crashing onto the beach as we walked together, arm in arm.
We lingered there until the sun had set, and then headed back to the hotel.
When we returned, Leo followed me to my room.
He used the excuse of needing to change his medication, his injury still not fully healed.

"I'll need to check it, make sure it's healing right," I said, my voice softer now.
He nodded, but I could tell his mind was elsewhere.
As I made my way to the bathroom to shower, Leo settled on the terrace with his laptop, the gentle glow of the screen casting soft shadows on his face.
The bathroom's design caught my eye as soon as I entered-opaque glass walls, frosted but not entirely transparent.
It was chic, modern, and I assumed that since no one could see inside from the outside, it was private enough.
I turned on the water, the warm stream soothing my tense muscles.
Little did I know that the opaque glass, while shielding me from direct view, would cast a faint reflection-a silhouette, hazy yet distinct.
seated on the terrace with his laptop open, glanced up.
His eyes caught the shadowed outline of my figure reflected on the glass window in front of him.
It wasn't clear, just a faint silhouette of a woman, delicate and alluring.
His heart pounded, blood rushing as desire flickered with
I finished showering, unaware of the effect the reflection had on him, and wrapped myself in a towel before stepping onto the terrace.
The cool night air brushed against my damp skin as I sat in the wicker chair beside him, my head slightly tilted back.
My long hair dripped water, the droplets glistening in the moonlight.
Leo shut his laptop, his eyes dark with an intensity that made my breath hitch.
He stood, moving towards me slowly, his

mine.
"You look... stunning," he murmured, his voice low and husky.
