"But... aren’t you two ever getting back together? Mummies and Daddies love each other and stay together. Unless one of them is really bad." My throat closed up. I forced myself to smile gently, even though it felt like someone was stabbing me with a thousand tiny needles. "Listen, Sekani," I said
A Song for the Broken RHEA'S POV I walked back into my bedroom and climbed into bed, refusing to let my thoughts drift anywhere dangerous. I lay there, my hands folded across my chest, my eyes fixed on the blank ceiling. In my head, I started running through the list of my patients at the hospital
"Hey, buddy," I said, sitting up. "What's wrong? Why aren't you in bed?" But even as I asked, it clicked. He was also scared of the storm. "I can't sleep," he said casually, already making his way toward the bed without waiting for permission. "Me too," I admitted with a small smile. "Maybe we’ll
"Miles," Rhea murmured, not even opening her eyes. "Get in bed... and turn off the light." I nodded and climbed carefully into bed beside Sekani, clapping my hands twice. The light blinked off, leaving us wrapped in soft darkness. Only the sound of rain tapping against the windows and the low grumb
Fate Don’t Wait MILES' POV Even before full consciousness returned, my chest was already pounding. My wolf stirred first, restless, growling with excitement like it knew something I didn’t. Then came the warmth, a quiet, familiar kind that wrapped around me and soaked into my skin. The soft sce
I rummaged through my closet, pretending to look for something to wear, when I suddenly remembered Miles was still in the room… probably watching me, and making me more flustered by the second. This was too familiar. It felt like we were married again. I asked him to leave. He didn’t argue. He didn’
I let out a dry, tear-choked laugh and blinked away the blur. “But if I hadn’t gone through all that, I wouldn’t have Sekani. So maybe… it all happened the way it was supposed to.” “I don’t hate you, Miles,” I said softly. “I never have. But that doesn’t change anything. I’m not the same woman I wa
Not Everyone Gets a Happy Ending RHEA'S POV An uncomfortable silence stretched between us after that confession. Miles still looked stunned, like he hadn’t fully processed it yet. But I kept telling myself not to feel bad. I did the right thing. Not everyone gets a happily ever after. I stared dow
I stepped through the doorway just in time to catch him launching himself into my arms. His curls bounced as he grinned up at me, and I scooped him up easily, my heart swelling the way it always did when he smiled. “Hey, Captain,” I said, ruffling his head. “Miss me?” He nodded eagerly. “Mum said
MILES’ POV My boots echoed off the concrete walls, the sharp, deliberate rhythm of my fury. The hallway stank of damp cement, rust, and sweat. A single bulb flickered overhead, throwing shadows across the narrow passage as Evans and Rico flanked me on either side. "Alpha," Evans began cautiously,
“No, no. Don’t stop me now. Ree, just say the word and I swear I’ll trip her in the hallway. Just a little oopsie with a spilled coffee. Nothing major. No witnesses. I’ll even throw in a soft landing.”I burst out laughing, covering my face as tears and giggles mixed together.Stella grinned like a
I didn’t wait for her reply. I picked up my files, held my head high, and walked out of that room before she could see the tears burning in my eyes.But one thing was certain; whatever this war was, I wasn’t backing down. I will sure prove her wrong. I have nothing to fear.I hurried down the hallwa

*** FREYA'S POV Alpha Miles Mondragon. So powerful. So hauntingly handsome. That sculpted body, those commanding eyes. The aura of authority that clung to him like a second skin, he was everything a woman could want and more. From the moment I first laid eyes on him, he took my breath away. But
A Wrong Kind of ComfortMILES POV I gulped down another shot of whiskey, eyes glassy, staring at nothing. It had been almost a week since I left Crimson Peak and returned to Snowfall, but the ache in my chest hadn’t dulled, not even a little. Rhea’s words still played on a loop in my head, like a s
I took a slow breath. "Fine. But we’ll explain it to him gradually. One step at a time." Miles nodded curtly. "Of course. No need to rush things." *** I was late. Not terribly, but still not a great first impression on the new Head of Neurology. After everything that happened this morning with Mi
