Maria.
Days slipped by so quickly, almost like time itself had decided to move faster the moment I stepped into the Moonfall pack.
Everything felt… different and peaceful.
For the first time in a long while, there were no constant arguments, no tension hanging in the air, no need to watch my back every second.
And honestly?
I still hadn't gotten used to it—especially the way I was being treated.
Everywhere I went, people bowed their heads respectfully, greeting me with warmth and admiration. It was overwhelming at first, being treated like royalty, but slowly, I was beginning to settle into it.
Still, sometimes I caught myself wondering if I truly deserved it.
I stood by the edge of the river, my arms loosely folded as I watched the gentle movement of the water. It has become a habit now—coming here with Noah.
He loved the water, almost too much and I still didn't understand why, but I had stopped questioning it.
Instead, I gave him a nickname—FISH.
