Kaiden pov Two weeks later I'm standing. I'm Doctor Frank's office as he opens the envelope and gives paternity results. "You're her father",The blond says softly. "I don't even know your name or remember fucking you",I say looking at her with disgust. She glares up at me while her eight yea
"You obviously don't care about Tabby, so give her to us," I say, watching her. She keeps hate filled eyes on Jasmine. "Nope, I will get money for her. He had to have been paid to work for you. Shouldn't he have some kind of life insurance. I deserve compensation for having that thing grow inside
Jasmine pov Tabitha is the sweetest little girl I ever laid eyes on, and that says a lot considering who her mother was. Alice hasn't been back or even called to see if her child is alive or dead. We took Tabby home, and everyone there loves her. She sits with Eve most days and rubs her belly gent
"Please don't leave me," she sobs, and I nod to Doctor Frank and get her to look in my eyes as he checks her. I purr, and Tabby rubs her hair. "You're okay...your okay...we are here, and we plan to stay," Tabby sings, and Eve looks at her. Tabby smiles as she puts her forehead to Eve's, and I watc
Kaiden pov I race to the border, and true to the other rogue leaders' words, there stood a pack of rogues. Cecilia hired anybody. My wolf growls out. I sigh. "What do you want?"I glare as Grayson stood beside me. "Cecilia owes us money we came to collect," is said, and I sigh loud. "Her mon

Kaiden pov I watch the rogues shove Tabitha's uncle forward, and he collapses with a grunt. "Tell your alpha how you gave your brother up to us," he is ordered. "I did no such thing. You fucks ambushed him. You can't fight one on one",He spits blood at the rogue leader. "You begged us to spa
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
