Kaiden pov A few hours later, my warriors are here, and they start packing up Jasmine's apartment. My girl is sleeping as we pack her bedroom, and I chuckle when she turns over, hugging the pillow I used. "Alpha, she looks extremely thin",A warrior says concerned. "I know I just got her eatin

Cynthia pov I slammed my apartment door behind me, heart pounding with barely controlled panic. My carefully constructed plan was unraveling faster than I could adapt. Beth Matthews had outmaneuvered me with such casual precision that it could only mean one thing—they were already suspicious. They

Liam pov The moon cast silver patterns across the bedroom as I sat in the armchair beside our bed, watching Grace sleep. After her fainting spell, I had insisted she rest properly, and for once, she hadn't argued. Now she lay peacefully under the covers, one hand curled protectively over her still
Grace pov The twins' homecoming had gone perfectly. Beth was settled comfortably in the master bedroom with the babies, receiving a steady stream of pack members coming to pay respects to their pack member and the blessed newborns. I had been watching from the doorway, my heart full at the sight o
