"Son twenty rogue females have fled Roman's pack. They put death threats on Eve and her mother. Keep her close ",he cuts the mind link, and I sit up fully awake now. "I look over at Eve still asleep cuddled up to Ian, and I smile softly. Both look cute together. I ease out and go shower so I can
Seth pov Both look at Eve, coyly making my hackles rise. They broke in, and I'm pissed my pups and mate are here. I growl viciously, and both just roll their eyes. "Dad, two rogue females broke into my house," I mind link him. "We are coming, son stall them," he links back. I sigh as I watch
Heather pov Roman left earlier pissed and I'm stuck in here with Bow, who keeps looking at me. "Feeling okay, Heather?"he asks. "Not as sore," I say honestly. "Sleepy too," I add, and he nods. "Well, sleep then," he says, pacing the hospital room. "I rather wait," I say, not wanting him to
"Someday I will, but for now, we need to focus on your healing, Heather after we can fix us." I nod as I wipe at my cheeks. He kisses my forehead and stands. The shower is turned on, and as I face it, I cry more. I feel him step closer and start washing us. I yawn as tiredness hits. I'm beat and sad
Roman pov I ease away from Heather and go to the bathroom to think. I want to forgive her, but I'm still pissed that she left me. I was a young rogue alpha because dad died when I turned sixteen. I was thrusted into leading, and when I found Heather, I felt on top of the world. We were both still
Everyone is so mean to me. I almost wish I never woke up. I'm trying to eat, but I have no desire to at times. "Heather, please come out," Doctor Frank begs. "I need a few," I call back. I give myself a pep talk and wash my face, hoping both can't tell I was crying. I sigh as I splash cold water
Roman pov I stepped out of the room but didn't go far when Alpha Kaiden ran up and into her room. "Heather, open the door, please," he begged, knocking on the bathroom door. "She keeps whispering stuff I can't make out," I hear Doctor Frank say as he begs her to come out as well. "Heather pl
"She may get her wish, Gunner. Her blood pressure is extremely low, and the doctor said she may not wake back up. Fuck I was a complete dick to her earlier",I run fingers through my hair. I feel a movement and look at Heather she is moving around like she is uncomfortable. "I will get Doctor Frank
Grace pov Good birthday," she declared with satisfaction. "Everyone's patterns were happy." "Yes, they were," I agreed softly. "Did you enjoy your party?" Sophia nodded sleepily. "The Balance liked it too. And baby brother." Her small hand reached out to touch my belly with surprising gentlene
I accepted the cake gratefully. Pregnancy cravings had given me an unprecedented sweet tooth, much to Sophia's delight. "How's our birthday girl doing?" "Currently explaining to her friends how the presents create a 'harmony pattern' when arranged properly," Liam replied, his expression filled wit
Grace pov **Six Months Later** The late afternoon sun cast a golden glow across the meadow behind Fireside pack house. Children's laughter filled the air as a small gathering celebrated Sophia's second birthday. The toddler presided over the festivities with a serene dignity that occasionally ga
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
