Kaiden pov I watch Cecilia frown, then anger fills her eyes, and she growls. "You fucked up and now I won't stop till little miss sunshine is dead",she grits out and then walks away. We all share looks as she gets in a car and squeals tires leaving. "What the fuck was that!?",A few members y
"I'm sorry, she cries breaking my heart, I'm sorry, Alpha... Seth... Did I wake everyone?"She sobs. "No, I wanted a snack," Jasmine said, trying to lighten the mood. "I made a mess. I didn't mean to alpha," she cries in my arms, and I just rock her and purr. That fucker will feel the fear I watc
Cecilia pov I can't get close enough to Kaiden to get Jasmine, and I'm pissed. I'm due soon, so I have to put attacking on hold so I can have this pup and hopefully drop it off for my mate Dan River. I enjoyed mating him, but he wanted to move away so I could heal. "You won't be over him unless
Probably for you to sign over your grandparents' money to them. Remember that left it all to you, Seth, my wolf says. I freeze as he says this because I did get papers I kept on me saying I inherited a lot of money from them. My parents are money hungry, so I bet they talked to the lawyer and found
Kaiden pov I sat with Eve and Seth as the lawyer talked and showed Seth all the money and properties that he owned. "Dad," I stepped forward with the pack lawyer, and he went through all the papers, making sure my boy wouldn't sign anything away. "Your grandparents knew your mom and dad would
Her dad laughed a bloody smile. "Oh, this is great. You got a weak mate boy, she is not good at anything, "he spit blood towards them. The guard growled and punched him hard, snapping his head back. Her dad graoned in pain "You shut up," the guard gritted out. "Stand down, Ian let me have him,
Kaiden pov I hugged Seth, calming him, and he sighed. "She will be okay, right?"He looked ready to break, and I couldn't let that happen. The guard looked our way with guilt in his eyes. He chased after him hurt and probably sporting a concussion. "I'm sorry alpha ",he sighed sadly. "Stop i
"Take a few days off to rest and heal. I won't alpha order you to go to Eve and Seth, but soon I want you three to sit and talk, "he nodded as I left. I felt bad he had no one to care for him when he was hurt, but my warriors and guards are tough werewolves. I headed home to Jasmine and smiled as sh
Grace pov Elena's expression shifted to reveal more of her concern now that Lucas was engaged with Alex and unlikely to pick up on adult conversation. "Not directly," she replied, her voice low enough that even werewolf hearing wouldn't carry it to the living room. "But we've intercepted communica
Grace pov The security rotation plan had been in effect for three weeks, the Matthews family moving between four different pack properties on an irregular schedule that made surveillance nearly impossible to maintain. I had adapted to the disruption with characteristic resilience, establishing por
Grace pov That's right," I confirmed, reaching to squeeze Lucas's small hand. "And we're going to have a special adventure, staying in different pack houses for a little while. Like a vacation, but we'll still do all our regular activities—preschool, library visits, everything that's important to
"Temporary relocation would be safest," Elena suggested, though her tone indicated she anticipated resistance to this option. "Perhaps to Alexander Beth's property, which has more extensive security infrastructure from Alexander's overprotective days." Liam's arm tightened around Lucas, who had gr
Grace pov Stay inside with the children until security arrives," Elena instructed. "Keep your phone with you. I'll be there within the hour." By the time Liam's truck roared into the driveway fifteen minutes later, Miguel and Tessa were already establishing a defensive perimeter around the prope
Grace pov Tell me exactly what happened," Liam requested, his voice low and controlled despite the tension evident in his posture. I described both incidents—the feeling of being watched at the house and the confirmed surveillance at the library, finishing with Miguel's recommendation to vary ou
Grace pov The first indication that something wasn't right came on an ordinary Tuesday morning in late autumn. I was loading Lucas into his car seat for our weekly library trip, chatting with my son about the storytime theme while Sophia dozed in her infant carrier. As I closed Lucas's door and mo
Amber pov By the time I reached the outskirts of Riverview, the emotional complexity of my Fireside visit had settled into a more balanced perspective. The past remained the past—acknowledged, honored for what it had taught me, but no longer exerting undue influence on my present choices or future
Amber pov Thank you for that perspective," she replied, genuine gratitude in her voice. "It helps." We parted with professional handshakes and promises to maintain contact about the protocol implementation, but I carried Dr. Winters' insight with me as I returned to my hotel to check out and pre
