I am so grateful for the care Agnes and I have received. The burning fire of silver and wolfsbane that once raged in my veins has finally dulled to a quiet ache. I feel stronger now, steadier on my feet, though the shadows of what we endured still cling to the edges of my mind. Poor Agnes, though...
"How can you be sure it’s her you feel and not something sinister trying to lead us into a trap?" Alpha Mark's voice was low but filled with concern, his piercing gaze locking onto mine. His words echoed through my mind, making my stomach twist in uncertainty. But I knew. I felt it deep within my so
I watched in awe as she stood unyielding yet filled with love before her mate. Alpha Nathan’s jaw clenched; his eyes filled with reluctant acceptance. "Fine," he grumbled, but his voice was affectionately laced. "But if this weakens you… I’m not carrying you back.""Yes, you will," she whispered wit
I had no idea how long we had been running. The cool air rushed past me, carrying the scent of damp earth and the ever-present forest musk. The steady sound of paws pounding against the ground echoed through the trees as we followed the river, its shimmering surface guiding us. My heart hammered in
“No,” Agnes said softly, a tear slipping down her cheek. “She wasn’t crazy, Alpha. She was doing everything she could to keep her babies alive. She fed them what little milk her body could produce and kept them quiet and safe.”I couldn’t stay quiet anymore. The weight of it was too much.“They were

Mark was right behind her, but he froze, his eyes locked on the fire as realization dawned. He moved to help, tearing away the burning debris with shaking hands."Oh, Goddess… no."I threw my hands over the mother’s ears, trying to shield her from the sounds, but her eyes were rolling back when I lo
We sat there for what felt like an eternity, the silence pressing against my ears like a scream held too long. Time blurred in the heavy stillness, broken only by the quiet sobs and the rustle of leaves under careful steps. We mourned lives we had barely known, souls who had barely brushed our world
I sit on the porch step, elbows on my knees, hands clasped. The air is still. Too still. The quiet that makes your thoughts louder, more insistent.I never thought I’d return to this place. Not after Katia was freed. I told myself I’d burned that bridge, salted the earth behind me. But here I am. Fu
The final goodbye to Isla, Nila, and Neela left an ache in my chest that wouldn’t ease, no matter how many deep breaths I took. The weight of grief hung thick in the air, clinging to each of us like a second skin. No one returned to the fire pit afterward. There were no more words left to say, no en
The barrier drops, and Demon is there to help us through and keep the idiots out. Once we are all through and the barrier is back in place, we head to the pit. The fire is barely ever out anymore. The bonfire has become the center of our pack. It is where we end up for everything, no matter the weat
Walking the last few miles toward what was now my new home with my mate, family, and pack, I watched Katia. Something had changed in her, Selene, her sister, and my mate. Whatever it was, it weighed heavily on our Alpha Luna. Her mate Nathan kept glancing back at her, his brow furrowed. I could feel
