As Tanner stepped back into the main room, the sight that greeted him stirred a mixture of irritation and resolve. The room was alive with activity, maps spread out and discussions underway. This pattern of being left out of crucial planning stages irked him. Though Tanner recognized his role in these absences—having just checked on the kids more out of a need to reassure himself than any immediate necessity—it was a point of contention that Gideon often initiated these sessions without him. He understood the importance of being present, learning, and contributing, especially with the weight of future leadership on his shoulders. If he was ever actually to feel prepared, he needed these moments. The focus of the meeting was the mysterious circumstances surrounding Hattie's disappearance, specifically the area along the border where she seemed to vanish. Gideon was coordinating efforts to canvas the grid areas surrounding the last known point of Hattie's presence. Tanner, driven

After Tanner's departure, Avla turned to Gideon. "What's going on there?" she inquired.The weight of leadership and the day's tensions bearing down on him, Gideon sank into a chair. With a heavy exhale, he massaged his temples, a silent testament to the stress and internal agitation he was wrestling with. The room was thick with the tension left in Tanner's wake, a silent witness to the conflict between two strong-willed Alphas who had no genuine concept of how to give in a little. He eventually broke the silence, the words heavy with resignation. "Just growing pains. Having two Alphas on the same land is always tough. Having two from different bloodlines acting like that isn't true adds another layer. I knew this would happen so I'm not worried at the end of the day. It's just... One thing that I didn't expect was so much pushback. Not from him, you know? " he admitted. It was a delicate dance of power, loyalty, and duty. A balance disrupted by their overlapping roles, shared conce

In Gideon's office, with the door firmly shut behind them, an air of solemnity settled between Gideon and Tanner. Heavy with unspoken thoughts, the silence lingered until Gideon broke it with a weighty sigh. "Listen, son, I'm failing here helping you prepare, and I know it. It isn't often one takes over for as long as you did and then has to step back as abruptly as you did. I'm proud of you for handling it as well as you have. I wish I could say the same for myself. But I'm going to make an effort to do a better job from here on out."Surprised by Gideon's candid admission, Tanner could only nod, his response caught in the moment's uncertainty.Gideon, seeking to bridge the gap, pressed on. "So... How can I do a better job to help you? What can we do better together? I'm all ears.""Well, I'm really not sure," Tanner began, his honesty starting to surface. "I'm sure a lot of the things I'm feeling can simply be chalked up to immaturity, and I'm aware of that."Interrupting, Gideon co

Hours after Kane and Tanner had vanished into the night, Gideon and Thomas set out to uncover their fate. The old mill, a place of grim memories and dark associations, stood silent and desolate under the moonlit sky. Gideon hated going near the place because it reminded him of what he almost lost. He would have burned the place down if it was on his land. However, an unexpected sight awaited them at the front gate: Hattie, the missing piece of their frantic search, slumped against the cold metal, her presence both a relief and a precursor of more troubling news. "It was Yorgan," she gasped, her voice barely a whisper, loaded with exhaustion and pain. "He left me... took Tanner and Kane," she managed to say before collapsing into their arms, her strength finally giving way. They transported Hattie back to the safety of the pack house, where her wounds were tended to. Luckily, Yorgan seemed to have a soft spot for Hattie, because he did not harm her much. As she regained a semblan

As Marcus and Gideon entered the room, Marcus gently took Ashleigh, leaving Gideon alone with Avery, who was still engrossed in the television program, seemingly oblivious to the world around her.Gideon, seeking her full attention, turned off the TV. Immediately, Avery's focus shifted, and her first question cut straight to the heart of the matter: "Where's Tanner?"Following Tanner's advice for open and honest communication with Avery, Gideon prepared himself for a difficult conversation. "Some bad people took Tanner, but we're doing everything possible to get him back. And he's going to be okay," Gideon explained gently. "We need you to be strong for Tanner because he can probably sense if you're really upset, just like he knows when you're hurt."Avery, connecting dots with wisdom beyond her years, asked, "Because he's my mate, right? He could feel it when I cut my knee on that log. He told me he can feel it when I hurt something."Gideon, taken aback by her insight, affirmed her

The tranquility of the night was shattered when Avery, caught in the grip of a nightmare, screamed and inadvertently kicked Gideon right in the face. The sudden commotion awakened everyone, and they rushed to her side, only to find her sitting in bed, wide-eyed and disoriented, unable to comprehend the worried faces surrounding her.In the chaos, Ashleigh's cries added to the moment's urgency. Avla, quick to prioritize, handed Ashleigh to Marcus with instructions to feed her, clearing the space for them to focus on Avery.Once the room had emptied, leaving only Avla, Gideon, and Avery, Gideon gently probed, "What do you remember from just now?""I was so scared... I... I... I saw Yorgan," Avery stammered, the fear still noticeable in her voice.Avla, her concern deepening, pressed for details. "Avery, where was Yorgan? Do you remember?"After a moment of concentration, Avery described a chilling scene. "It was in a blue room with really bright lights. He was standing in front of me, c

Thomas entered the gas station, his senses immediately alert to the presence of other wolves in the vicinity, though the girl behind the counter appeared unmistakably human. As he approached, she greeted him with a smile, a sense of ease about her that suggested she was aware of the nature of her customers and unfazed by it."I was wondering if you could help me with something," Thomas asked."It depends. What do you need?" she replied."I'm interested in the dry ice," Thomas started to explain, but she cut him off with an apology. "Oh, sorry, we should take that sign down. A couple came in and bought us out." "Do you know who bought it? Who the couple was?" he pressed, hoping for a lead."I'm not sure, but they gave my...friend a weird feeling. Hold on," she said before calling out, "Linc, can you come here a second?"A young man emerged from the back, his werewolf scent noticeable to Thomas even before he fully appeared. The dynamic between the young werewolf and the human girl was

In a nondescript blue building, Tanner and Kane found themselves in a dire situation, bound and periodically forced to endure the biting cold of dry ice beneath their feet. Despite the physical torment, they remained resolute, determined not to grant Yorgan the satisfaction of seeing them broken.Yorgan, observing their defiance with cruel amusement, couldn't help but mock their current state. "It's so funny," he taunted, his voice dripping with disdain. "You both were so strong when you locked me in the basement. Look at you now. All broken and weak."Yet, even in the face of such taunting, Tanner and Kane's resolve only hardened. They understood the true measure of strength wasn't just physical prowess but the unyielding spirit to stand against adversaries, even in the most challenging circumstances.Yorgan, after a moment of mockery, abruptly pushed Tanner and Kane off the block of dry ice. With a sarcastic tone, he announced, "Take a few minutes to gather yourselves... We'll go on
