KHA

When I woke up, Drake was already awake, sitting up and watching me and Eve cuddled together.

He was gripping my forearm.

When he noticed me stirring, he reluctantly pulled his hand away. "I'm sorry," he said awkwardly. "This hangover isn't going away fast."

I chuckled. "Is that really the reason?"

The grin that spread across his face said all I needed to know. "Mostly."

Eve grumbled, "Y'all stop talking and let me sleep, please."

I leaned down and kissed her on the nose. "How about this? Drake and I will go cook breakfast, and you stay here and sleep, okay?"

She mumbled, "Are you two going to be okay?"

Drake laughed and kissed her on the other side of her head. "We'll be just fine. Get some sleep."

"You just want to talk about me," she whispered.

We both chuckled. She would always be the topic of conversation. She was our world.

We headed to the kitchen and started putting together breakfast quietly. We kept making eye contact, getting uncomfortable, and shuffling

    KHA She traced the scar with her finger. "It didn't look like this after the injury when he shifted and tore my skin. When I tore the cast off while high... I... I guess it somehow created this." The healer nodded. "Scars can be strange that way. Sometimes they form patterns that are significant to us." "I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you," I whispered. She took my hand. "It's okay. It's a part of our story now." Drake placed his hand on top of ours. "A beautiful part." We stood there for a moment, just taking it all in. This scar, this mark on her hand, symbolized everything we'd been through. It also looked exactly like a Luna mark, something neither Drake nor I could bring ourselves to say. As cute as the sentiment was, I couldn't just let it go. I had caused that scar. A permanent mark on her body that she did not want. I couldn't remember a time when I was more disappointed in myself or in something I did, even if it was on accident. It was a shining reminder of

    I rushed over to Drake, wanting to comfort him. He held up his hand, stopping me. "No, not right now. With him so angry, it will be harder for me to resist his commands." I pulled away. "Okay," I mumbled. "Just get dressed. This is about to get messy, I'm sure," he said. Kha was already getting dressed and nodded in agreement. We hurried to the living room, where Ty and Frank were already in a heated argument. "You think you can control everything, Ty? Look at what you've done to your son!" Frank shouted, his face twisted with rage. Ty shot back, his eyes blazing. "And you? You've let everything fall apart, Frank! My son, my family, this whole damn pack—it's all your fault!" Drake, standing rigidly, was barely holding himself together. Kha stood beside him, equally tense, ready to intervene. It was good to see them so united. "You're the reason she left!" Ty yelled at Frank. "You and your son have driven her away!" Frank stepped forward, his fists clenched. "Don't you dare

    My entire body arched off the bed. He wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me tightly against him as he growled loudly. His heart was racing so fast. I tangled my fingers in his hair, pulling his face to mine. He closed his eyes as he leaned in to kiss me, but I pulled back."Open your eyes and look at me," I commanded. I wanted him to stay with me at this moment, and he couldn't do that if he was lost in the passion with his eyes closed.He bit his lip as he slowly opened his eyes. They slowly decreased in intensity, the brightness not nearly as piercing. I smiled as I kissed his chin, ensuring he kept his eyes locked on mine. He hadn't shaved in several weeks, and his facial hair was borderline out of control. Thinking about how primal he seemed then made me smile.Slowly, the frenzy began to ebb. With each stroke, he became less frantic and more controlled. I watched the fever slowly give way to something else. The roughness faded as his pace slowed. The physical act

    DRAKE My entire body tensed. Just as I was about to reach the edge, her voice cut through the haze. "You're not done yet," she commanded, her tone leaving no room for disobedience. I felt the command work its way through me, stilling my body and allowing me to hold on just a bit longer. The sensation was overwhelming, and the urge to release was almost unbearable, but I held back, driven by her command. I'd never done this before. I'd heard about other wolves using commands during sex. It created a strange mix of bondage and submission unique to werewolves. Still, it was new to me. I never trusted anyone enough to give them that kind of power over me. I always thought I was a purebred. Purebreeds didn't give up that type of control. But I wasn't a purebred, and she wasn't a wolf. How did she know she could do it? Maybe she didn't, and it was just her pure need and desire to control me. Either way, it was incredible and maddening all at once. The struggle, the push and pull

    DRAKE We ended up back in my bedroom, cuddled together under my old blankets. Eve snuggled against my chest, tracing idle patterns on my skin. Kha was behind her, his arm draped over her waist and resting between her hip and mine. Every few minutes, one of the omegas would timidly knock on the door, offering to bring us something. Their excitement was on full display. I had to shoo them away several times, but they kept coming back.I could have commanded them to stop, but I wasn't about to issue a command to temper their excitement. My Dad would do something like that, and I wasn't my Dad. "Master Drake, can we bring you anything? Are you sure you don't need anything at all?"I looked over at Kha, who was smirking at me. He knew exactly what was happening. He was the only person in my life with any idea of what I was going through most of the time. It had always been that way, even if we didn't want to see or acknowledge it. Until now.Still, he was no help. He was enjoying see

    EVE I was panicking. I couldn't do this anymore. All this alpha shit, it was too much. It was just too damn much. The pressure was crushing me, the constant need to be strong, to keep fighting, to keep everyone safe. I was breaking. My heart pounded in my chest. I could barely breathe. The room seemed to be closing in on me, and all I wanted was to scream and run far away from it all.Lori walked out to make sure Ty left, and I watched her, hoping she could somehow fix this mess. When she returned, she appeared exhausted, her shoulders slumped in defeat. "I'm driving him out to the cabin," she said.Drake, despite his condition, couldn't stop himself. "Well, tell Dad to regale you with all the stories about how he was having sex like ten times a day up there to make sure I exist. I'm sure it'll be some awesome stories."Lori just sighed. "Kha, go back to the Bane land. Get everyone off the StClaire land."Kha shook his head. "I'm not going to do that. I'm tired of all this bulls

    EVE I sat listening to Kha and Drake snoring. It was a rare moment of peace. They lay on either side of me, fast asleep due to my command. Finally, I had a moment to myself when their thoughts and emotions weren't crushing me.I reached over to the nightstand, picked up my phone, and typed a message to Lori. "I'm freaking out, Lori. I want to leave. It's suffocating me here."Her response came quickly. "I understand, Eve. I know exactly how you feel. Meet me outside in twenty minutes. I'll take you somewhere you can breathe."The relief felt like it engulfed me. "I'll come after they wake up," I replied. "I commanded them to sleep, and they did."The following message made me smile. "Let them wake up without you there, Eve. It'll do them some good. We'll just leave a note."The idea of sneaking away while they slept sounded thrilling and liberating... and a little mean, considering I told them I wouldn't do this. Still, I knew it would be the same thing the second they woke up, an

    EVE Three days at the beach house had done wonders for my mind and spirit. The constant pressure suffocating me until I thought I might shatter had eased. The crashing waves, the salt-tinged breeze, and the endless horizon had become my sanctuary, where I could finally breathe without the weight of expectation on my chest.Lori had been right. Sometimes, you must run away to find yourself again. I now understood why she had her hideaways, where she could escape the chaos and find a peace. A part of me wondered if I would end up like her, disappearing whenever the walls started closing in, whenever Kha and Drake's intensity became too much to bear.But as much as this place had helped me, as much as I cherished the solitude and the space to think, I couldn't deny the growing ache inside me. I missed them, my guys, more than I wanted to admit. It was like a physical hunger, pulling me back toward them. I knew they were probably struggling without me, and that knowledge tore at my hear

    DRAKE The stadium roared with energy, the stands packed with students, parents, and alumni, ready for the season's first game. Eve and I sat near the middle. I glanced at her, her bright blue eyes fixed on the field, her lips tight as she scanned the players."Kha's still safety, right?" she asked, her voice quieter than usual, her nerves showing."Yeah, and Con's the quarterback this year," I confirmed. "Con played well last season, so he'll probably dominate. I was watching his highlight reels, and I'm impressed."Eve bit her lip, her hands gripping the edge of the seat. Her anxiety was obvious. Every time Con or Kha got the ball, her whole body stiffened like she was bracing for impact herself."Are they always this intense?" she asked, her eyes following Kha as he positioned himself for the next play."Yeah," I shrugged, glancing at her. "You'll get used to it. Con especially. He lives for this stuff."Just as I spoke, Con took the snap, dropping back to pass. Kha darted across t

    EVE He pulled the towel off of my body as he positioned me on the bed. He got up to lock the door, and I couldn't help but watch him, appreciating how much care he took in everything he did these days. He may have been rubbing off on Drake, but Drake was doing the same in return. When he closed his eyes briefly, I spoke up, "Rissa won't come back anytime soon. She's in class." He looked back at me with a small smile. "I just wanted to make sure," he replied before returning to the bed. As he climbed back onto the bed, the playfulness in his eyes was unmistakable. It reminded me of the first time we were together, how he both treated me with gentleness and teased me throughout. He started tracing my breast, circling my nipple before lightly tugging on the ring. The sensation made me arch my back slightly, pressing into his touch. He smiled at me, and then he leaned down, kissing my nipple before looping his tongue through the ring. I couldn't hold back the loud moan, my hips i

    EVE I saw Kha lingering outside the locker room and pulled him aside. His posture was tense, and his usual confidence was absent. I didn't want him to go back in there, not after everything that had happened."Kha, let's just go," I urged. "I don't want to wait for you to change."He looked down at me, the stress in his shoulders easing slightly. "Sure," he agreed, though I sensed some hesitation. "What about Drake? I drove here with him in his truck."I frowned, realizing this could complicate things. Drake and I already had our moment. It was Kha's turn now. I needed some time alone with Kha, away from all the tension building up. "Let him know we're leaving. I'll call for an Uber."Kha nodded and jogged over to Drake, who was sitting nearby. I watched as they exchanged a few words, with Kha gesturing in my direction. Drake looked concerned but didn't argue. He just nodded, and Kha headed back to me.While waiting for the car, I decided to text Con. I didn't want him worrying or wo

    EVE The day with Conrad was easy, almost too easy. After the morning's chaos, it was strange how simple everything felt when just the two of us were in his room. We didn't do much. We just hung out, letting the hours slip away without worrying about what was happening outside those walls. He was easy to be around, and the stress that usually came with Kha and Drake was nowhere to be found. It was a relief, even if I felt guilty for enjoying it.As the afternoon crept closer to practice time, I realized I needed to change clothes. My usual routine of heading to my room was out of the question. I couldn't bear the thought of running into Kha or Drake or them getting updates from pack members after everything that had happened. They were probably still fuming, and I wasn't ready to face that just yet."I need to change," I said, glancing at the time. "But I don't want to go to my room."Con nodded, understanding immediately. He got up from where he was sitting and rummaged through a d

    DRAKE Kha and I sat in silence, both of us trying to calm down after the near fight that had driven Eve away. My chest still burned with frustration, and I could see the strain in Kha's every movement. We'd almost come to blows, and the close we'd come to tearing each other apart made me sick. We both knew better. But knowing better hadn't stopped us. "She's not in her room," Kha muttered. "How do you know?" I asked. After everything that just happened, the thought of her being alone right now was agonizing. I was about to chase her down if we didn't figure out where she was. Command be damned. "Rissa just told me," he replied through gritted teeth. "She checked. Eve didn't go back to her room." It hit me. I knew where she had gone. There was only one place she would feel safe after what had happened. "She's with Ford." Kha didn't say anything at first, but I could see the fear in his eyes. "Of course she is," he finally said. "Why wouldn't she go to him? He's perfect fo

    CONI couldn't believe she was here, lounging on my bed like it was the most natural thing in the world. After breakfast, I thought she'd stick with Kha and Drake, but she came to my room instead. She didn't hesitate, didn't second-guess it. Once I got her to calm down, she just walked in and made herself comfortable. Now, she was stretched across my bed, propped up on her elbows, watching me work on her bracelet. I wasn't even trying, yet she seemed drawn to me, like some invisible force kept pulling us together. She looked so calm and at ease in my room, and I wondered how she fit here so perfectly.I focused on weaving together a couple of leather bands with orange glittery strings. I laid the materials on the desk.She tilted her head. "Where do you keep orange glitter clothing?" she teased.I smiled. "They're from my old jersey from my last college. It became my good luck charm after a while, and I thought it might also bring you some luck."She narrowed her eyes slightly, not

    EVE We headed to Kha's room after breakfast, and I knew why. Because Drake's room was directly beneath Con's.As soon as we entered the room, I sighed heavily, knowing what was coming."Just get it out," I said, bracing myself.Kha and Drake exchanged a look, biting back their words. I could see the storm brewing in their eyes, but they were holding back. I wasn't going to let them stew in their frustrations all day, not when I could feel their emotions swirling around us, threatening to suffocate me."No," I insisted. "You're not stewing in this all day. Get it out. Now."That was all it took. The dam broke, and it all came pouring out. Drake started. "We're upset, Eve. This whole thing with Ford... it's driving us crazy. We're jealous, okay? We don't like the way he looks at you, the way he's always there, always perfect. It's like he's this perfect guy for you, and we're scared. We're scared you'll want him more than us."Kha jumped in, his emotions even more raw than expected. "

    EVE I woke up feeling queasy, but I pushed through it, determined to start the day on a good note. Kha, Drake, and I headed to the dining hall for breakfast. The usual smells hit me like a freight train, and I had to swallow hard to keep the nausea at bay. I tried to focus on the conversation with Kha and Drake, but ignoring the churning in my stomach was hard.I was picking at my food when I saw Conrad walk in. My stomach clenched harder, but it wasn't just the nausea this time. Something compelled me to move, to go to him. I stood up, ignoring the questioning looks from Kha and Drake, and walked over to Conrad.Before I could even speak, Conrad's hand found my arm, his touch steadying me almost instantaneously. The nausea vanished, and I felt clear-headed for the first time that morning. Without thinking, I invited him to join us once he got his food. But it wasn't just an invitation. It was a command. I realized what I'd done the moment the words left my mouth, but it was too

    CONRAD I didn't plan on kissing her. Hell, I wasn't even sure how we ended up so close that it happened. But when it did, everything changed. The moment our lips touched, it was like something inside me shifted. I finally understood why those two guys were so damn obsessed with her. The connection between us was intense and something I couldn't shake even after it ended.I would do anything to kiss her again. The spark, the way it made me feel...I couldn't even put it into words. It was more than just a physical connection. It was like a piece of her had lodged itself inside me, and I didn't want to let it go.The fact that she was pregnant, something that had always made me hesitant, suddenly didn't matter. The baby was a part of her, and that was enough for me. Realizing that what had kept me from taking things further with her was now irrelevant should have been unsettling. But it wasn't.Instead, it felt like everything was falling into place, like this was where I was supposed
