"This is a terrible idea," Lucas muttered, rubbing his temple as he read Rikkard’s email for the third time. His hands clenched into fists.

"We don’t have much of a choice, do we?" Jake countered, leaning against the doorway.

Lucas’s jaw tightened. "I’d rather burn Rikkard’s entire empire to the ground than ask for his help."

"And yet, here we are," Jake said with a sigh. "Lila’s safety comes first. You know that."

Lucas growled under his breath. His wolf stirred violently at the mere thought of Rikkard being anywhere near Lila. It was a struggle to suppress the possessive, raging part of himself.

"You think I don’t know that?" Lucas snapped, his golden eyes flashing. "But trusting him? After everything? It makes me sick."

Jake crossed his arms, unfazed. "It’s not trust—it’s necessity. Someone’s targeting us, Lucas. And unless you plan on ripping through an entire underground network by yourself, we need Rikkard’s resources."

Lucas exhaled sharply, trying to steady himself. His hatred

    Lila crossed her arms, tapping her fingers against her elbow as the screen remained dark. "How long is this going to take? We’re sitting ducks here.""Patience, kitten," Jake murmured, leaning back in his chair with an infuriating smirk. "You’re acting like you have somewhere better to be.""I do—literally anywhere but waiting on Rikkard," she shot back. "And don’t call me kitten."Lucas exhaled slowly, his gaze fixed on the screen. "If this is going to work, we need to be prepared for anything. Rikkard doesn’t trust easily, and neither do I.""That makes two of us," Lila muttered. "Three, actually."The tension in the room thickened as the screen flickered. Static hummed for a brief second before Rikkard’s face appeared. His sharp, calculating eyes swept across them, lingering on Lila longer than she liked."Well, well," Rikkard mused, his voice like velvet laced with steel. "Quite the interesting gathering. Lucas, Jake, and…?""Lila," she answered flatly, unwilling to let him steer

    A Breach of Trust“What is she doing here?”Rikkard’s voice, thick with disdain, filled the silent space as his image flickered onto the screen. His dark eyes narrowed, scanning the trio before him. Lucas sat rigid, his jaw tightening. Jake leaned back, arms crossed, a smirk playing at his lips. And Lila? She held her ground, unfazed by the obvious hostility.“She’s here because she needs to be,” Lucas responded curtly. “We agreed to talk. So talk.”Rikkard scoffed, barely concealing his contempt. “I agreed to speak with men of power, not a woman who has no place in this conversation.”Lila arched a brow, unimpressed. “And yet, here I am.”Jake chuckled under his breath, clearly enjoying the tension, while Lucas remained coldly silent. Lila refused to look away from Rikkard, her expression unwavering. If he thought a condescending tone would make her cower, he had another thing coming.Rikkard exhaled sharply, as if already exhausted. “Fine. Let’s get to the point.” He leaned forward,

    Lucas turned to face her fully. "Arika."Lila’s fingers drummed against the table, her jaw tightening. "I’d bet my life on it."Jake nodded. "It makes sense. If she wanted to throw everyone off her trail, pinning it on Lawrence would be a smart move. But why steal military secrets? What’s her endgame?"Lila shook her head. "That’s what we need to find out."Lucas’s expression darkened. "We also need to consider another possibility—Rikkard might already know Arika is involved. He could be playing us."Silence filled the room. The thought sent a cold ripple down Lila’s spine. "You think he’s using us to clean up his mess?"Lucas nodded. "Wouldn’t be the first time he’s manipulated a situation to his advantage."Jake sighed. "So, what’s our next move? We can’t just sit here and wait for Rikkard to feed us more half-truths."Lila straightened. "The Weddard witches."Jake frowned. "What about them?""They talk," she said simply. "Loose tongues, eager ears. If Rikkard knows something about

    “You’re overthinking this.”“I am not.” Lila’s voice was sharp, her eyes flashing with irritation as she paced the room. “Rikkard isn’t telling us everything. There’s something bigger going on, and if we don’t figure it out soon, we’ll be caught in the middle of it.”Jake exhaled heavily, arms crossed as he leaned against the doorframe. “I get it, Lila. But you’re pushing yourself too hard. You need to slow down.”“I don’t have time to slow down,” she snapped, raking a hand through her hair. “Arika could be orchestrating something even worse, and Rikkard might be hiding more than he’s letting on.”Lucas, who had been silent up until now, stepped forward. “Lila, we hear you. But your stress isn’t helping. It’s making everything worse.”Lila shot him a glare. “So what? You want me to just sit back and do nothing?”“No,” Jake said, pushing off the doorframe. “But I do want you to breathe, maybe sleep for more than three hours a night. You’re running yourself into the ground.”She clenche

    Jake leaned against the doorway, arms crossed, watching Lila with narrowed eyes.“You’re doing it again,” he said.Lila didn’t look up from the holographic display, fingers rapidly tapping through a sequence of security feeds. “Doing what?” she muttered.“Overworking. Stressing. Wearing yourself down to the bone,” Jake listed, pushing off the doorframe. “And you know exactly what I’m talking about.”She sighed but didn’t slow down. “I don’t have time to take a break. We’re running out of leads, and I need to know what Arika is planning next. If we wait too long, she’ll be ten steps ahead of us.”Jake exhaled through his nose, crossing the room in a few long strides. He reached out, gently placing a hand over hers, stilling her movements. “Lila,” he said softly. “We can’t do any of this if you collapse on us. You haven’t slept. You barely ate. You’re pushing yourself too hard.”Lila finally met his gaze, something unreadable flickering in her eyes. For a moment, it looked like she migh

    Lila clenched her fists, her chest tightening as a storm of emotions swirled within her."I don’t understand why you’re both so patient with me," she muttered, looking away. "I keep pushing, keep hesitating, and yet… you’re still here."Jake stepped closer, his voice gentle yet firm. "Because we love you, Lila. That doesn’t change just because you’re struggling."Lucas exhaled, crossing his arms as he studied her with knowing eyes. "You think you’re hard to love, don’t you?"Her throat tightened, but she refused to answer. The truth sat heavy in her chest, too raw to admit. She had spent most of her life proving she didn’t need anyone, that she could survive alone. But now, with them, she found herself wanting more—terrified of wanting more.Lucas sighed, stepping forward. "Love isn’t about perfection, Lila. It’s about choosing each other, even when it’s hard. Even when fear tries to convince you to run."Her hands trembled, and she clenched them tighter. "I don’t want to be weak."Jak

    The evening stretched on, the tension slowly melting into something softer. Lila found herself nestled between them on the couch, their quiet presence providing a comfort she hadn’t known she needed."You know," Jake mused, "I think God knew exactly what He was doing when He put the three of us together. You balance us out, Lila."She arched a brow. "Oh? How so?"Lucas smirked. "You keep us on our toes. And you remind us what real strength looks like."Lila scoffed. "Strength? You two are the warriors here."Jake shook his head. "No, Lila. Strength isn’t just about fighting battles. It’s about endurance. It’s about getting back up, even when life knocks you down. And you’ve been doing that your whole life."Warmth spread through her chest at his words. "I never thought of it that way."Lucas leaned in, his voice softer. "Because no one ever told you. But we see you, Lila. And we won’t let you forget your worth."She blinked, her vision blurring slightly. "Thank you. For being patient

    The forest echoed with the crunch of snow beneath their paws.Lila’s laugh rang through the trees, though in her wolf form it was more a ripple of amusement through the link. She darted past a thick pine, her white and silver fur a blur against the deepening twilight."Catch me if you can," she teased, her thoughts light and bold, laced with mischief.Jake’s wolf, massive and golden with eyes glowing like twin suns, barked once in challenge. "You’re not getting far."Lucas, sleek and dark as shadow, responded with a low, rumbling growl that translated into something unmistakably flirtatious. "She forgets who trained her."Lila’s wolf yipped and twisted mid-run, skidding through the snow just enough to spray flakes in their direction. Then she took off again, weaving between trees with a new sense of joy—wild, reckless, alive.The chase had begun.For the first time in months, her heart wasn’t burdened with fear. Her body didn’t ache with insecurity. She didn’t care that her hind right

    Lila's breath came in ragged gasps, her body trembling from the intensity of the moment. Jake's presence was a steady anchor amidst the storm raging within her. She felt the heat radiating from his body, the scent of him intoxicating her senses. Her heart pounded in her chest, each beat echoing the turmoil she felt inside.Jake's fingers traced gentle patterns along her spine, his touch both soothing and electrifying. He leaned in, his lips brushing against her ear as he whispered, "You're safe with me, Lila. Always."She closed her eyes, allowing herself to be enveloped by the warmth of his embrace. The weight of her cybernetic arm pressed against his chest, a stark reminder of the battles she'd fought and the scars she bore. Yet, in this moment, those burdens seemed lighter, as if Jake's presence had the power to heal wounds both seen and unseen.The room was filled with a charged silence, the air thick with unspoken words and lingering desires. Lila's mind raced, torn between the n

    The Awakening of the Wolf“You sure you’re ready for this?” Jake’s voice was soft, but his eyes held the weight of his concern.Lila exhaled, her breath curling in the frigid air. “No. But I don’t think I’ll ever be until I try.”Jake offered his hand without a word. She took it, the warmth of his palm grounding her more than she expected.“You don’t have to prove anything,” he added, brushing a loose curl from her cheek. “Not to us. Not even to yourself.”“I’m not trying to prove anything,” she muttered, “I’m trying to feel whole again.”The snow crunched softly beneath their boots as they stepped deeper into the twilight-drenched forest. Bare branches framed the sky like ancient fingers holding stars. Everything was still—unmoving—but inside her, something was shifting.The trees whispered like old friends. Her wolf stirred restlessly within, sensing the change in her.Jake didn’t press. He walked beside her in silence, their arms occasionally brushing. Every time their shoulders met

    The Awakening of the Wolf:Jake's breath was warm against her ear as he whispered, "You can't hide from me forever, Lila."She stiffened, her fingers curling into fists. "I'm not hiding," she shot back, her voice laced with defiance.He chuckled softly, the sound vibrating through the air between them. "Then why do you keep running?"Lila turned to face him, her eyes flashing. "Maybe because every time I stop, you and Lucas are there, crowding me."Jake's gaze darkened, a smirk playing on his lips. "Crowding you? Or reminding you of what you can't resist?"She hated the way her body responded to his words, heat pooling in her core. "Don't flatter yourself," she muttered, looking away.He stepped closer, closing the distance between them. "Your pulse betrays you, pussy cat.""Stop calling me that," she snapped, her eyes narrowing.Jake's hand reached out, fingers brushing a stray strand of hair from her face. "Why? Afraid it reminds you of who you really are?"Lila swallowed hard, her

    The next morning, the air between them felt lighter. Stronger. Lila could feel it in the way they moved around each other, in the easy touches and teasing remarks. The bond between them was growing, not just as mates but as something deeper. Something unshakable.Lucas caught her wrist as she passed him, tugging her close. “We’ll take this at your pace.”Lila met his gaze. “I know.”Jake draped an arm around her shoulders, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. “And don’t you forget it.”For the first time in a long time, Lila felt steady.5. A Night of ReassuranceThat night, as she lay between them, Lila whispered, “I never thought I’d have this.”Lucas traced circles on her palm. “You do now.”Jake murmured sleepily, “And you always will.”She smiled in the dark, knowing that for once, she didn’t have to face the world alone.Faith, Love, and StrengthThere was something deeply sacred about the bond they were forming. Not just as mates, but as partners in faith, in trust, in love.

    "You can't keep avoiding this conversation, Lila," Lucas's voice was gentle but firm, his eyes searching hers for understanding.Lila sighed, her gaze dropping to her hands clasped tightly in her lap. "I know. It's just... confronting the past isn't easy."Jake leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees. "We're here for you. Always."She looked up, meeting Jake's intense gaze, then Lucas's steady one. The sincerity in their expressions made her heart ache. "I appreciate that. Truly."Lucas reached out, his hand covering hers, offering warmth and reassurance. "We need to understand what you're feeling. What you're fearing."Lila took a deep breath, steadying herself. "It's hard to put into words. The shadows of my past... they haunt me. I fear they might consume me again."Jake's jaw tightened, a flicker of anger in his eyes—not directed at her, but at the unseen forces that tormented her. "We won't let that happen."Lucas nodded in agreement. "Together, we'll face whatever comes.

    Lila stirred, the morning light filtering softly through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. She became aware of the steady, comforting breaths of Jake and Lucas on either side of her. The events of the previous night replayed in her mind, bringing a soft smile to her lips.Jake’s voice, husky from sleep, broke the silence. “Morning, beautiful.”Lila turned her head to meet his gaze, her heart fluttering at the tenderness she found there. “Morning,” she replied softly.Lucas’s arm tightened around her waist as he nuzzled into her neck. “How are you feeling?”She took a moment to assess herself. Physically, there was a pleasant soreness; emotionally, she felt a sense of belonging she hadn’t known she craved. “Content,” she admitted.Jake brushed a strand of hair from her face. “We meant what we said last night. This isn’t just a fleeting moment for us.”Lucas nodded, his eyes serious. “We’re in this together, Lila. For the long haul.”Lila’s heart swelled with emotion. The

    Emotional Turmoil and Longing:Lila had always been independent. It was a necessity, not a choice. The world had taught her long ago that trusting too easily led to heartbreak, that relying on others could mean disappointment. But things were different now. Lucas and Jake weren’t temporary figures in her life. They weren’t people who would walk away when things got difficult. Her wolf knew that. Deep down, she knew that.And yet, the old fears still lingered like ghosts in the dark.Jake moved beside her, his presence steady. “You’re thinking about your past again.”Lila swallowed hard, then nodded. “I just—sometimes, it’s hard to believe this is real. That you’re real.”Lucas knelt in front of her, taking her hands in his. “We are. And we’re not going anywhere. You don’t have to prove anything to us.”Lila closed her eyes for a moment, letting his words settle deep inside her. She had spent so much of her life proving her worth, fighting to be seen, to be enough. But with them…She w
