Kaiden pov I lift Jasmine into my arms as we rush to find out about Seth. He had a chest wound, and even though we are supernatural creatures, wounds that severe can kill us. "Where is my son?"I try not to bellow at the staff. They all flinch. "Is he okay?"Jasmine tearfully asks. "Doctor Fra
"Baby, calm down. Our Seth is a fighter he doesn't quit," Ian says, kissing her forehead. She sniffles and looks at us. Jasmine rushes to hug her, and both start crying again. I sigh as I sit and watch. Grayson says something about food and how we all need to eat before he walks out. I feel his guil
Eve pov I watch Ian move around my room, and I feel guilt as he cleans up. "Ian, can you come hold me?"I feel bad for asking, but I need warmth and snuggles. I'm still stunned. My mom was a product of rape and so was I. "Can you move over? If your sore don't move much babe I can lift you",he
"I hope so. Eve needs him," I say, tucking Jasmine in. Cecilia is dead, but the men she hired don't know that, and I know they will be back. Rogues don't give up so easy. I sigh as I head to our kitchen for a snack. "Our men spotted her hired rogues twenty miles from Fireside. We got eyes on them,
Kaiden pov I growl as rogues line up, and some look beat up. "What the fuck do you want?",I growl out. "We want Cecilia," I laugh darkly at their answer. "I killed her, sorry ass. She is burnt. I can probably give you her ashes, "I say, and they growl. "Her dad said she was wrongly impriso
"Nope, you get daddy treatment, honey. I'm gonna spoil you today, "she blushes, but I see tears fill her eyes as he cradles her against him. "Thanks daddy",she goes shy. He puts her down, and she goes in, and we wait. After five minutes, I get worried and tap on the door lightly. "Eve, are you o
Seth pov I watch Eve sob as the doctors walk out talking and my gut churns. "Shhh baby, we got you," Ian murmurs to her as she cries. He strokes her back as he holds her. She birthed three pups, and they may have damaged her. Our future pups may never be born after the three she just had. "I'm
"I will go get him," I hurry away. I hear Ian scoff but not say anything. I hurry back to dad, and he rushes up. "She okay?"I sigh. "She is asking for you, dad. I swear those thoughts weren't mine, dad it was my wolf. I love Eve...I do I love her with everything in me, "I feel pissed. My wolf si
Beth pov I floated in a strange twilight state, aware but disconnected. I could sense everything happening around me – Liam's powerful presence, the pack's concern, Sophia's healing magic. But nothing felt quite as real as Alex's pain radiating through our mate bond. Night had fallen again, our
Alexander pov The crisis came without warning. Beth had just finished the formal presentation of Liam to the pack when I felt her falter through our mate bond. One moment she was radiant with new motherhood, the next she was collapsing in my arms, blood spreading rapidly across her ceremonial dres
Alexander pov The birthing room blazed with supernatural light as Beth made one final push. I supported her, our mate bond channeling shared strength as our son entered the world on a wave of pure silver energy. The baby's first cry shook the windows with unexpected power. As Sophia lifted him,
Alexander pov The formal sentencing took place at moonrise. Victoria stood before the council. Her perfect poise finally cracked after the Moon Goddess's visitation. She couldn't quite meet Beth's eyes as the council prepared to deliver their judgment. "Victoria Blackwood," Gregory intoned, his
Beth pov The council meeting had devolved into circular arguments about tradition and bloodlines when the moonlight changed. I felt it first – a shift in the air that made my unborn pup's energy surge with recognition. The great hall's windows blazed with sudden silver radiance, cutting off Gregor
Alexander pov The pack council arrived at sunset – twelve of the oldest and most powerful alphas in North America. Beth watched from the master bedroom window as their vehicles pulled through the gates, her hand absently rubbing her active baby bump. "They won't be able to ignore this evidence,
Beth pov I walked into the pack's holding cells with unhurried grace, one hand resting protectively on my pregnant belly. Victoria sat in the reinforced cell, still managing to look elegant despite her circumstances. Her perfect features arranged themselves into a sneer as I approached. "Come to
Alexander pov Victoria chose her moment carefully. Beth was resting – her advancing pregnancy making afternoon naps necessary – when the auburn-haired wolf cornered me in my study. She'd timed it perfectly, waiting until Melissa was occupied with perimeter checks. "Alex Matthews," she practicall
Beth pov The cleanup after a supernatural battle was never simple. I stood on the main house's balcony, one hand resting on her growing baby bump as I watched the pack restore order to our territory. FBI agents worked alongside wolves, processing both human traffickers and Sebastian's corrupted fo
