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

"A month," she choked out. I hug her, and so does Ian. "Yes, honey, one month to be sure they breathe okay on their own and to make sure their lungs catch up. All three got an excellent team on their case to ensure they thrive. That will give you time to heal up and rest because once them three co
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

Jasmine pov I get up and head out to cook. "Sweets," I hear Kaiden call for me. I smile, loving that nickname now. "Kitchen," I call back. He walks in and kisses me, making my face flame. Tabby is sitting there eating, and I hear her cute giggles as he kisses me with exaggeration. "Ewww da
Grace pov They were targets because of what made them special—Sophia's dual nature, my perceptive abilities, the extraordinary bond that had survived even memory loss, and physical separation. Yet those same qualities provided the strength and resources to counter the threats they faced, creating
The absolute certainty in his voice flowed through our bond with warming force, his protective commitment unwavering despite the controlled expression of his wolf's aggression.

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 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
