“Entry 1451: The Wolf Who Knows My Real Name”

 

Erik calls me by my celestial name—Ra’elthura.
It’s the sound of comets and heartbreak.

No one else dares.
That’s what makes it dangerous.

When he says it, the air shifts. The part of me that’s human shatters a little more, and the part that remembers being worshipped stirs like a storm.

He protects me like it’s religion.
But loyalty that deep? It cuts both ways.
Sometimes I think he’s the only one who truly sees me.
Other times, I think he’d destroy himself trying to.

He’d never admit it, but the wolf in him doesn’t love—it claims.
And the envoy in me doesn’t surrender—it warns.

Still, when he says my name in the dark, even the stars go quiet.
