Okaaaay, so that's us for today! What are we thinking??
I have to say i've been having a great time writing from Adelyn's point of view 👀👀

“You two are too young to know who you want to be with forever. You barely know who you are yet!”
It seemed Rory’s indignation was legitimate. But Ade felt… rejected? Maybe judged. She couldn’t tell exactly. So she got up, walked away.
𝐑𝐮𝐧?

“I’m fine. I don’t know how to agree with my wolf. Nothing major. I just needed to let it out, don’t worry.”
Rory put a little distance between them, head falling in her hand.
“It’s because of Jacob, isn’t it?”
“How do you know?”
“He talked to me about the ring. I told him not to…”
Ade flinched.
November 25, 2025 at 2:50 PM
She sat on the couch and let the tears she’d been holding back fall down her cheeks.
It wasn’t a loud sorrow. More a quiet frustration. Why couldn’t she get on with the program? Everyone else seemed to have.
𝐀𝐥𝐩𝐡𝐚
Rory walked in the bunker and Ade quickly wiped her tears away.
“You okay kiddo?”
November 25, 2025 at 2:40 PM
Minutes later, he was gone, having to check on Nyon and Elinor, the two former hostages his pack had swore to protect until they could go back to normal life.
And Adelyn was clamping her teeth together, staring at the ring.
𝐈 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞.

He stepped away slightly and smiled, pushing her hair behind her ear.
“Of course that’s okay!”
Ade kissed him, trying to find the spark she’d once thought she had for him again. Reaching down to dig up any kind of emotion that wasn’t panic.
November 25, 2025 at 2:20 PM
As she felt her expression falter, she threw her arms around him, hiding her mouth into his shoulder.
“Thank you Jake.”
As soon as her fingers were pointing down she felt the ring slip away.
“It’s a bit big so I might just keep it in my bedside drawer for now, if that’s okay with you?”
November 25, 2025 at 2:10 PM
“We’re meant to be together and since we can’t get married until we’re 18, this is the closest thing we get! Do you like it?”
𝐘𝐄𝐒. Nyle seemed partial to the glinting stone on top of the ring.
So Ade let herself feel the wolf’s excitement and tugged the corners of her mouth up: “I do!”
November 25, 2025 at 2:04 PM
𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐲! Her wolf exhaled, excited.
Yet Ade herself didn’t have any coherent thoughts. Except the realisation, as Jake put the ring on her finger: “It looks like an engagement ring?”
“I think it was!” He smiled. “I figured it would be like a promise we’re making to each other.”
November 25, 2025 at 1:50 PM
He stopped her before she could put her hands on something to do with her hands.
“Wait, Ade, I wanted to ask you something?”
Turning back around, she grabbed one hand with the other, trying not to fidget.
“I found this ring in my dad’s things… And I wanted you to have it.”
Her heart stopped.
November 25, 2025 at 1:40 PM
“Suppose that’s better than them thinking you’re a werewolf…” She added, checking her nails.
He made a non-committal agreeing sound.
Jake had never been a big talker with her. Frustrating, but she guessed there were worst flaws.
And Ade jumped off the desk, her wolf still restless.
November 25, 2025 at 1:30 PM
𝘊𝘢𝘯'𝘵, 𝘸𝘦'𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘑𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴, 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳? Communicating with her wolf was easy. It was making her obey that was usually a problem.
But any time Jacob was mentioned, the beast purred, happy.
And in his presence, it was even better.
“They think you’re in a cult!” She told him.
November 25, 2025 at 1:20 PM
One more day, finished.
“See you tomorrow!” Adelyn threw the words at her classmate who usually walked home the same way she did.
Then do it all over again the next.
She liked the teachers and the subjects. She just couldn’t focus for long before…
𝐑𝐮𝐧? Nyle asked, gentler today.
November 25, 2025 at 1:10 PM
Summer school was the worst.
𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐲. Adelyn’s wolf growled, from deep inside her.
She forced a normal smile on her face. Kept taking notes. Ignored the beast she called Nyle, who had a habit of trying to distract her from classes.

Hi lovely Polilla readers, from today on and for a couple of weeks, we are changing POV 👀
I'm also taking the opportunity to post in ten minutes intervals instead of 15, so that means I'll be starting the queues an hour later than usual!
See you at 1pm (BST) ✨

“Thank you” Rory pulled her in for a tight hug.
“You’re welcome. They were all looking forward to a night together and I think you are too.”
Tenderness and shared laughs carried them through the movies. And they couldn’t bring themselves to go home for the night, falling asleep in a heap. Happy.
November 23, 2025 at 5:01 PM
“Hey sis! Came to meet the baby?” Jake hailed from the comfortable chair he’d threw himself in, clearly already preparing for the movie marathon.
Turning to Isi, Rory’s voice was low, unbelieving:“You convinced Cel?”
“I knew it meant a lot to you. Lou’s your best friend. She understood, eventually.”
November 23, 2025 at 4:45 PM
As well as Jero. He seemed lost in the explanation of some kind of technology for Idrina, who hid the tiny misbehaving sheep under her legs, fully asleep even with all the noise around him.
And most importantly, little Ender Sigge Lopez-Howell. Looking like he was having the best time ever.
November 23, 2025 at 4:30 PM
When they reached the bunker’s main space, Rory’s hand fell out of Isi’s. Everyone was gathered. A good old pack night in preparation.
Including a few additions to the group: Wolfgang, who Isi had just texted, hoping to get a minute alone with him later. Jacob, who was stuck to Adelyn lately.
November 23, 2025 at 4:15 PM
She knew exactly what to do to keep Rory from dwelling on it though.
As they dried off, Isi gave Rory some comfortable clean clothes to wear. Then, put her dress back on and crinkled her nose at the heels she’d worn with it.
“You can put my trainers on, angel” Rory smiled, knowingly.
“Thank you!”
November 23, 2025 at 4:00 PM
She didn’t have to pull hard to get her bath partner to lie on top of her.
While they snuggled, a plan formed. She’d ask the stars once again. Enrol some help.
Yet as she pressed a kiss to Rory’s cheek, she wondered how long it would take for Rory’s whole body to lose it’s colour.
November 23, 2025 at 3:45 PM
“I think I remember them saying something about Avelina?” Rory added.
Isi didn’t have to ask who 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 were. But she didn’t recognise the woman’s name. “Who?”
“Remember Greg, the crazy old wolf who turned you? She was his wife. Studied stars and the moon…”
“I’ll ask Wolfgang. You, need to relax.”
November 23, 2025 at 3:30 PM
“It’s the white patches, isn’t it?” She asked. She’d noticed the discoloration had kept on going, eating at Rory’s grey wolf a little more every day.
“Yeah. I guess I didn’t expect it to continue even after I’d left that torture room. It took me by surprise. And I had some kind of flashback.”
November 23, 2025 at 3:15 PM
She exploited the indecisive silence that followed and loosened Rory’s back muscles, asking her to turn around next to start on her feet.
The alpha’s face softened as she exhaled: “I was going to give my wolf a groom, today’s been tiring. And I saw my fur in the mirror.”
Isi stopped to listen.
November 23, 2025 at 3:00 PM
“Just thought you might want a massage…”
Isi ended her sentence like a question and didn’t have to wait for Rory to smile, taking her hand to pull her into the water.
“Of course I do.” A pause as Isi sat behind her. “It’ll help me stay grounded as I explain, too…”
“You don’t 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 to” Isi offered.
