JUNIPER’S POV:

My eyes remain wide for a moment as I stare at Troy, then I feel his hands around my body, jerking me back to reality, and I stare at him.

“Are you sure you want this?” he asks me, and I inhale deeply as I realize what happened was only in my mind.

This makes it clear to me I still have feelings for Hiram, and I am only going to hurt Troy. He has been a great friend, and I have the chance to not allow it to happen.

“I... I...” I pause, inhaling deeply. “Troy, you are a great guy,” I say, then he pulls away from me with his brows drawn down.

“So, I’m getting another rejection?” he questions, then I keep mute.

I finally speak. “I’m sorry, Troy, but I am only trying to protect you. You have been great to me, and I cannot ruin what we have.”

He shakes his head, cupping my face with his hands.

“You are not ruining anything, June. The moment I saw you that day at the bakery, I have longed to be with you. If you are not ready to get intimate, then we shouldn’t rush it. I can w

    JUNIPER’S POV:“Alex, I... I didn’t expect to see you,” I stutter as she walks into the apartment. Her face doesn’t hold a single smile, and I can tell she is here for business.“I didn’t plan to see you either,” she says in a cold tone, and I swallow hard. “But I have no choice.”My body is taut with emotions, and I want her to tell me something about Hiram. I want her to say he misses me, and he hasn’t gone off with someone else.“Please sit,” Rhea says to her, and she puts up a hand.“I have not come here to stay, and I will be very brief, as I am only here to deliver a message from Hiram.” My heart skips a beat as she mentions his name. “He says he misses you, and he loves you,” she says, then she turns to leave, but I reach out to her.“Alex, please, I know I am the last person you want to speak with, but I… I care about Hiram, and I want to know how he is doing,” I say at once, and she yanks her hand away, turning to face me.Her face contorts.“Well, if you must know, he is in

He is only a year and a couple of months older, so I do not believe I need saving from him.“I told you I can handle my problems, and I do not need anyone meddling in it,” I answer, and he scoffs.“Look at you, Hiram. It’s been twenty-four hours, and you have been in bed.” He shakes his head. “A mate isn’t just any random woman you move around with. The actions of your mate can make or mar you, and I believe that we already know where you stand with that,” he says, and I scoff.“Look, I am fine. Thank you for caring fo

Those traitors!” Mother grits her teeth, and Juniper’s tiny hands tighten around mine.“Not like our pack is any better than them. Maybe we should ask the Lycans what real traitors are about.” The words leave my mouth before I can control them.

    JUNIPER’S POV:I know Holly doesn’t like me, so I try to make myself scarce. I have spent two nights in the pack, and Hope has been in labor for those nights. There is tension in the air around the house. Hollis hasn’t had rest seeing his wife in pain, and Hiram has been running some errands while I do nothing but sit in his room, text Rhea, eat, and try to distract myself from the excruciating pain Hope is going through.This morning, I began to feel sick, and I cannot tell if it is from hearing Hope groan in pain daily or because I have been indoors. I prayed Hiram would return early, but it’s afternoon, and I am the only one in the room.Shortly, a knock comes on his door, and I stand to open it. Then I stand face to face with his sisters, Hera and Hana.“Hiram isn’t around, but you can come in,” I say to them, opening the door.Hiram didn’t mince words when he said Hana was taller than me, and as

    JUNIPER’S POV:Hana doesn’t hesitate as we make our way into the hospital. She walks straight to the desk and speaks with the nurses.“I need to get a room for my sister-in-law at once,” she says, and the nurses glance at me briefly.Their faces look displeased, and I can tell they probably recognize I am human, but I do not really care what they think or don’t think—I only want to get through whatever procedure it is that I must do. My body temperature keeps rising, and I realize now that it is only because I have been engaging in conversations with Hana that I didn’t feel it as much at first.“Right this way,” one nurse says, and we follow them closely until we reach a room.I walk to the bed and lie down at once as I feel my legs begin to wobble. Hana and Hera sit on the couches in the room.“The doctor will be with you shortly,” the nurse says, and then she disappears.

Relief washes over me at once, and Hiram gets to his feet, sliding the ring into his pocket.“It’s okay if you don’t…”Before he can complete his statement, the sound of people screaming and wailing fills the air, causing him to pull the door open at once. We both dash out of the room, and I chase after him as he climbs the stairs hurriedly.In the hallway leading to Hope’s maternity room, we see a midwife walk past us, clutching the newborn baby whose cries pierce the air, clashing with the cries of the adults. My heart skips a beat, and I know the only reason they are crying is probably because Hope has died.

My heart pounds in my chest as I struggle hard against the man who has his hand covering my mouth, but he doesn’t let up. I bite his palm, causing him to yelp in pain and pull away from me.“You little—!” He grabs my hand, twisting it behind me, and the other man glares at me.“You’re going to regret this. My husband—he’s going to find you. And when he does, you’ll be sorry.” I try to sound confident, but the four of them let out a heart-draining chuckle.The man holding me snorts, his beady eyes narrowing as he glares at me.

The streets are quiet except for a couple of locals strolling past. “Hang around, or you can come in with me,” I say to him as I look at the building in front of us.Above the entrance, a banner hangs: BOULDER CITY ART FESTIVAL 2024.I step out of my car, making my way towards the entrance. The moment I step inside, the chill fades, replaced by the hum of life and creativity. The place is packed with people, which makes it warm. There are conversations in the air, and the bright colors catch my attention.There are paintings, sculptures, and displays explodi

I can slowly feel the baby fat creeping in.” He grabs my hand, pulling me away from the mirror.“That’s enough for today.” He wraps his arms around my waist. “You look more beautiful than ever, and there is no baby fat,” he says, then plants a brief kiss on my lips.I adjust his tie, patting his shoulder briefly.“You look so

I expect her to follow the usual routine of staying up almost the entire night, keeping me awake too, but before I can tell, she is sleeping peacefully in my arms.I remain like that, watching the rise and fall of her chest with a gentle snore accompanying it. While she sleeps, I try to sleep too. I shut my eyes, patting her hair gently, but even as I close my eyes, I find it difficult to drift off to sleep.After a while, I push her head away gently, then I place it on the pillow, planting a kiss on her head before I stand up. My steps are quiet in order not to wake her. I leave the room, heading for the front door to get some fresh air, but the moment I step out of the hallway, I spot Milo sitting in the living room

When we pull up, she rushes toward the car.Before I can open the door, Juniper gets it, rushing toward her mother.“Mum!” she exclaims, throwing her arms around her. Her mother pats her back slightly.

Maybe I do love her better and we might have…”
