"Kaiden," he pulls me into his arms and lifts me up, heading to our kitchen. I see Grayson talking to Tabby and another man sitting there. Tom. "Alpha...luna," he bows. I feel fear as he sits. "Tom, how are you feeling?"Kaiden asks as we sit to eat. "Better, sir, thank you. I'm healed now, "he
Kaiden pov I'm pissed there should be no way that Cecilia could have escaped. She was in the high security wing of our prison. I run fingers through my hair as I talk to Grayson and our warriors. "We need to track her," I say as Jasmine wipes her cheeks. She barely touched her food. "We sent
"We are signing you up for school tomorrow, sweet girl," I say, grabbing a soda. She looks at me. "Really, Daddy Kaiden?"She hugs Tom, and he chuckles. "Yes, I talked to the principal, and he will give you a test to see what grade you're at," she sighs sadly. "I'm not smart," her voice goes lo
Kaiden pov The door opens, and Miss Smith walks in, smiling. "I got the results alpha," she says. We all sit up as she comes over and sits. The principal looks excited. "How did our girl do?"I ask, holding Tabby as she looks scared. "She is extremely smart, alpha. Her scores were off the cha
He didn't outright reject mom, but he insinuated he wanted to till he found Cecilia was a molester like her family. "Do you think Jasmine is okay?"Eve asks as I sit her in the freshly made bed. "She will be baby she just needs time. Cecilia is a sore spot for mom. She almost had dad hooked in.
Kaiden pov I lay behind Jasmine listening to her breath and knowing she was extremely upset about Cecilia escaping. Her tears kill me each time. I know she probably thinks I let her go because a part of me still cares for her, but I seriously don't. I have my destined mate, and I don't want anyo
"Did you send me these files?"Jasmine waves them around as tears fall. "Yes, I did. I felt the secrets needed to come to light. Cecilia knew we were related, and she also knew Kaiden was never hers. She lied and continues to lie about everything to look innocent. She killed a woman years ago becau
Kaiden pov It has been a few weeks, and Eve came home from the hospital looking better. Her triplets are stuck there for a month or so. We called Eve into the office so we can all talk. "Hi honey, you look well rested," I motion for her to sit. Her mom is wheeled in, and Eve looks confused. "W
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 Latent gifts," Elena suggested, joining me as I completed my circuit of the courtyard. The Alpha and healer had attended as a representative of the supernatural communities allied with the Balance Center. "Not strong enough to manifest as active abilities, but sufficient to create resona
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
