"Alpha, she is sleeping, sir. Do you want me to take her to your room while you deal with Seth?"A warrior asks. "No, I got her. I will deal with him later. You guys can go home for now, but be on stand by Cecilia could attack again. "I get up carrying my sweets to our room. She whimpers as I gathe
Kaiden pov Seth has so many scars. I feel rage knowing Cecilia had this done to him. All of this because he didn't want to fight Fireside. "Fuck kid",Grayson stepped closer looking at a raised whip mark. It was a more recent mark on him. "That was done a day before we came here," Seth mumbles
Kaiden pov Jasmine is sitting on the couch when we walk out, and she looks scared and worried. Seth is beside her, looking down like he has to do that around us. I sigh as I kneel in front of them and kiss Jasmine's hand. "Sweets, we believe Grayson is your second mate," her wide eyes meet min
"I love murder mysteries and zombie shows," she smiles at him as she talks. He smiles back shyly, and I look at Gray, who is smiling as he watches Jasmine. She leans against him, and I know damn well he is enjoying the feel of her little body against his. She is soft and warm. "Zombie shows?"I que
Jasmine pov I sit with Grayson and Seth while Kaiden and the warriors run out to the border breach. Seth eats quietly while I sigh. "Will every meal be interrupted by border breaches?"I ask out loud. "Not always, babe, but with Cecilia doing her shit Kaiden has to go to each one. One day, we w
Cecilia pov I'm pissed as I head back to my apartment, which is under my friend's name. Seth was supposed to get close and lure Jasmine out so I could kill her. Instead the ungrateful fucker made himself at home. "Fireside raided our warehouses ",A man said as I sat rubbing my belly. This pup ne
Jasmine pov I beg Seth to stay here, but he nods as he runs out. "Let him go babe he needs to do this. He has to face then, "Grayson kisses my lips. "I don't want him to get hurt more," I sniffle. "He won't baby Kaiden is with him," Grayson lifts me up and kisses me passionately, shutting m
I'm in the mood for milkshakes and burgers. "Where are we going, dad?"he asks, and my heart races hearing it. He called me dad. "I'm in the mood for burgers and a milkshake. Plus, I really want to talk to you and get to know you better",he nods and relaxes. We walk in, and a waitress seats us in
Sophia considered the question seriously before shaking her head. "Not worry. It's the right pattern. The balance is happy about it." She adjusted another stone slightly, the golden light flowing to illuminate the new configuration. "Five is better than four. Stronger shapes." As if confirming her
I began to protest, but another wave of dizziness—milder this time—reminded me that Elena's medical advice wasn't merely precautionary. My body was indeed adjusting to significant changes, and pushing beyond its limits would serve no one. "Two days," I conceded reluctantly. "But I want regular upd
Grace pov Liam nodded, leaning forward to place a gentle kiss on my forehead. "Our children were never going to be ordinary, were they? Not with us as parents." I smiled as he looked into my eyes. Lucas was a strong werewolf with Alpha blood, and Sophia was a truth seer. Both were strong as hell.
"What happened?" I asked, my voice slightly hoarse. "You collapsed in the observation gallery," Liam explained, squeezing my hand. "Gave everyone quite a scare, especially the children. Tomas has been asking about you every fifteen minutes." I attempted to sit up, but Elena moved swiftly to prev
Grace pov Two weeks after the Children's Day revelation, the Balance Center hummed with renewed purpose. I had implemented a carefully structured program to continue engaging with the children who had shown connection to the Equilibrium, while the research division refined their understanding of h
Grace pov Liam, ever practical, focused on immediate implications. "How does this affect our response to reality-shapers? Does this expanded connection give the equilibrium greater range or power?" "Not exactly, power," I replied thoughtfully. "More like... expanded awareness. Greater understand
As we discussed these implications, Sophia's block construction had grown increasingly complex. Children placed pieces with surprising precision under her guidance, creating what appeared to be a three-dimensional representation of reality patterns around the Balance Center itself. The golden light

Grace pov Three days after the shadow attack on the pack house, the Balance Center was hosting its first-ever Children's Day. What had begun as a small educational initiative had expanded rapidly as families associated with the Center brought not just their gifted children but siblings, cousins, a
