Threads of Fading Memory – K. S. Whitman 6

Threads of Fading Memory – K. S. Whitman 6 Summary

 

Thalia, feeling that Damon viewed her presence as a disruption to his ideal life with Raven, decides to take a bold step. She posts a photo on Instagram showing her hand tightly held by another man’s, with the simple caption “Hello.” This sparks an immediate and furious reaction from Damon’s followers, who flood the post with angry comments, accusing her of betrayal and demanding she remove the photo. Thalia watches their outrage unfold with a quiet sense of satisfaction, seeing it as a small victory against Damon’s control.

 

Later, Thalia turns to the man sitting beside her, an enigmatic figure dressed in black who she suspects is Zane Duskbane, the Alpha. Despite his intimidating title, Zane’s demeanor is calm, respectful, and quietly powerful. He rarely speaks but offers a gentle steadiness that comforts Thalia. Grateful for his help on two occasions, she invites him to lunch, which he agrees to, marking her impending departure from the Shadowmire pack. Most of her belongings have already been sent to Coghaven, and she prepares to leave with just a single suitcase.

 

Meanwhile, Damon’s response to the photo is explosive. He relentlessly calls Thalia, and when she accidentally answers one call, his fury erupts. He accuses her of cheating and losing her mind, unable to accept her independence or the idea that she might choose someone else. Thalia, repulsed by his outburst, confronts him with cold clarity, reminding him of his own reckless actions with Raven and asserting that she is not his possession. She makes it clear that her choices are her own and not subject to his control.

 

The conversation ends with Damon’s voice trembling with raw emotion, caught between anger and the brink of breaking down. His refusal to accept the situation and his desperate demand for silence reveal a man struggling to maintain control in the face of Thalia’s newfound resolve and independence.

Damon had always insisted that my presence disrupted the perfect life he envisioned with Raven, so I finally made a decision.

That very afternoon, I uploaded a photo to Instagram. It showed a large, bony male hand tightly gripping mine, our fingers intertwined in a way that spoke volumes without words.

The caption was simple—just one word: “Hello.”

Almost immediately, the comment section erupted.

“Wait, that hand isn’t Damon’s, is it?”

“What are you thinking? Are you out of your mind?”

“Take it down! Stop stirring up trouble!”

Damon’s loyal followers flooded the post with angry remarks and insults. As I sat quietly, sipping my water, I watched them unravel with a quiet sense of satisfaction. It felt like a small victory.

Eventually, I set my phone aside and turned to the man sitting next to me—the he-wolf who had become my unexpected ally. “Is it true that you’re… Zane Duskbane?”

He was clad entirely in black—cap pulled low, a mask covering the lower half of his face—concealing every inch of exposed skin. He gave a slight nod in response.

Though he held the title of Alpha, his presence was far from domineering. Instead, it was calm, measured, and quietly powerful.

He rarely spoke, maintained a respectful distance, and even his gaze held a gentle steadiness that was almost soothing.

I smiled at him. “Thank you for helping me twice now. If you don’t mind, I’d like to buy you a meal.”

After a brief pause, he nodded in agreement.

We arranged to meet for lunch two days later. That would mark my final day in the Shadowmire pack. Most of my belongings had already been shipped to Coghaven, and all I had left was a single suitcase.

Since posting that photo of our intertwined fingers, Damon had completely lost control, bombarding me with calls. I ignored them all—until one slipped through, and I answered by mistake.

His furious roar nearly shattered my eardrums. “What the hell are you doing, Thalia? How dare you cheat on me! Have you lost your mind? Since when did you become so shameless?”

I swallowed my revulsion hard.

The moment I snapped out of my romantic delusion, I saw Damon for what he truly was—foolish and reckless.

“I don’t often speak this harshly, Damon, but you honestly make my skin crawl.

“You got Raven pregnant, and everyone in the pack knows you two are about to mark each other. And all I did was post one picture—and you lose your mind.

“I’m not your possession, and we have nothing to do with each other. The same goes for who I choose to mark—it’s none of your business.”

There was a heavy silence on the other end before Damon’s enraged roar shattered the quiet again. “Shut up! I would never agree to that!”

His voice trembled with raw emotion, teetering on the edge of breaking down completely.
