8 - Whispers from the Past

This chapter was especially emotional to write. Estela’s pain, her longing for the daughter she had to leave behind, and her fierce determination to protect her children all came pouring out of me. Every word is a reminder that strength doesn't mean the absence of fear—it means fighting through it anyway.On the other side, Killian’s confusion and growing suspicion show how powerful the bond of true mates really is. No scent, no distance, no lie can sever what was meant to be.If you felt your heart race or your chest tighten while reading, know that mine did too while writing. And trust me… the storm is only just beginning.Love,MARALTO
