SCARLETT ROSE The party at Dimitri's house is in full swing. The lights sparkle, the sound of music fills every corner with the mansion, and the laughter and conversations blend into an animated harmony. The pack is all here, with members scattered around the huge living room and the garden by the pool. Kieran is by my side, his eyes never leaving me, watching me with an intensity that makes me both nervous and relieved. He looks impeccable, wearing a dark suit that highlights his imposing and charming figure. I, on the other hand, chose a red dress that flows with my movements, cinching at my waist and falling gently to my feet. The contrast between us is undeniable, but something in his presence makes me feel safe. Kieran is relaxed, but I know something is going on in my mind.
