As Ethan stood between Gabriel and Amelia, the stress in the air sounded like a storm about to break. The full moon hung low in the night sky, giving the area where they were meeting an eerie light.Gabriel begged, "You have to believe me, Ethan," and his voice was full of despair. "I made a terrible mistake, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to fix it."Amelia took a step forward, her eyes full of sadness and purpose. "Ethan, I need to tell you something. It's about my history and who I am."Ethan's mind was full of different thoughts and feelings. He had come so far on his path to healing and finding himself, and now everything depended on what happened next. He looked at both Gabriel and Amelia, trying to figure out what to do."Tell me," Ethan said, his voice shaking because he didn't know what to do.Gabriel moved toward Ethan and locked his eyes on Ethan's. "Ethan, I turned you down because I was afraid. Afraid of what our relationship meant and the burdens it brought. But

The moonlight gave the area a ghostly glow and made long, scary shadows. When Ethan stood at the edge of the area and looked at Gabriel, the alpha who had once broken his heart, the strain in the air was almost too much to bear."You're here," Gabriel said in a voice that was strained and full of both hope and fear.Ethan didn't say anything right away. His heart was pounding in his chest as he thought about how painful it was to be turned down and how humiliating it was to be told he wasn't good enough. But he had come here tonight to put the past to rest, face it, and maybe find a way to heal."I am," Ethan said with a steady voice. "But it's not to get back together like we used to."Gabriel nodded, and he looked sad. "Ethan, I know I hurt you. I was a fool because my pride and lack of knowledge made me blind. But I've spent nights looking at the moon and realizing that I was wrong. You were meant to be my partner, and I should have loved you more."Ethan's eyes were wet from tears

As Ethan stood in the moonlit opening, his heart was racing and his senses were on high alert. He could hear the leaves moving softly and a wolf roaring in the distance. Amelia stood next to him, and her eyes sparkled with the same passion as his."You were going to tell me the truth," Ethan said in a low, anxious voice. "Amelia, now, now!"Amelia took a big breath and looked at him with her eyes. "I didn't want it to go this way, Ethan. But I think you should know." She thought for a moment, then said, "I'm not just a regular woman. I have witches in my family tree."His eyes got bigger. The puzzle pieces started to fit together. "What about witches? But why were you in the Meadow of the Moonlit Night? What do you want me to do for you?"Amelia reached out and touched his arm in a soft way. "I didn't come to this place to hurt you, Ethan. I came here to get away from my coven's rules and standards. I was looking for a place where I could be free. I didn't mean to fall in love with yo

Ethan's heart was pounding as he stood at the edge of the Moonlit Meadow, the place where his life had changed forever. The night was filled with silver light, which made the shadows of the old trees look scary. He knew he had to talk to Gabriel about his feelings, which had been building up for too long."You came," Gabriel said in a voice that was full of doubt. He came out from behind a tree and looked straight at Ethan.Even though Ethan's jaw was clenched, he found his voice. "Gabriel, I had to. We can't run away from this forever."The alpha nodded and took a hard swallow. "You are correct. Ethan, I've been a fool. I let my pride and ego get in the way.Gabriel's words made Ethan's heart hurt. He had wanted to hear this for a long time, but now that he did, the pain was sharp. "But Gabriel, why? What were you thinking?"Gabriel moved closer, and he looked at her with sad eyes. "Ethan, I was scared. I was afraid of how much I cared about you. I thought it would be easier for both

Ethan's heart was beating fast as he stood in the Moonlit Meadow, where the silver moonlight gave everything a spooky glow. He felt the weight of his choice pressing down on him. He was torn between his past with Gabriel and the love he had found in Amelia.Amelia's eyes, which were full of wonder and sadness, looked right into his heart. "Ethan, there's something you need to know," she said, her voice shaking because she was nervous.Ethan nodded, and his heart beat faster. "Amy, tell me. I'm interested in everything."Amelia took a deep breath and looked down at her fingers, which were making designs in the cool grass. "I'm not like other women. I come from a hidden group of supernatural beings sworn to keep the balance between the human world and the supernatural world."Ethan's eyebrows went up in surprise. "What exactly are you saying?"Amelia looked at him with an honest look. "Ethan, I'm a guardian. My goal is to keep the magical world secret from people so that confusion and e
