"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
Seth pov I follow after Eve's bed, and I feel awful. My wolf Max spouted bullshit and thought bullshit so now everyone is pissed at me. I love her so damn much, but he is more worried about pups. Asshole I say to him, and he whimpers. "Is she okay?"I look up and see mom standing with Grayso
"Son," Dad tries again. I just sniffle, but don't answer. "Seth, please come back home," Mom begs in the mind link, but I lay on the bed not answering. I don't have a fucking home anymore I think as I stare at the wall. My own wolf ruined it. I knew it was only a matter of time before the feeling
Eve pov Seth has been gone a month, and I'm terrified it feels like a huge piece is missing from my life. I want him home with us. Our pups are out of the hospital, and I know they feel his absence. "How are our munchkins?"Ian asks as he steps in the nursery. "Doing great," I try to smile as
"What do I think, son? You got two mates waiting, and you're hanging out with a singel she wolf. To any outsider she looks like your fuck buddy. Imagine how Eve will feel, "he says, watching us. "She isn't my fuck buddy dad we protected each other out here. We never shared a room or bed. I wouldn't
Seth pov The ride back to Fireside is so damn quiet you could hear a mouse fart. "So what is your mates like?"Eve asks after an hour of quiet driving. "Eve is beautiful and blessed us with triplets a few months back. Ian is a guard and very sweet to us. I can't wait for you to meet them, "I sa
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
