"Shhh babe, we got this. I already got Bow taking over till you've healed up and are not pregnant. "I kiss her head. Doctor Frank leaves quietly but comes back with pain meds and prenatal meds. He hands them over, and Heather doesn't say anything she just downs them. "Get rest honey and have me pa
Roman pov "Get back to your floor!" he orders harshly "Roman, please talk to me," Helen begs me. I sigh. "I'm with my very pregnant mate. Helen, you and Sara can't come busting in here, barking out demands. "I snap at them. Helen continues to sob as I hold Heather in my arms. "That should b
"Roman, please hold me for a little," she begs. "Not happening, so stop the theatrics Helen. I'm mated. You all know this, or did Amber promise me to you if you helped her?"She went pale at the mention of Amber. Nailed it. I heard my wolf say. "She left us to rot, and we got raped I don't think
Roman pov Helen tried to speak to me almost daily, but I walked right past her, ignoring everything. I leave to handle pack work or issues, and then I'm right back to Heather. Today was no different. "Please, Roman, just help me," she begs. I sigh as I walk. "No, I got to get to Heather,"
"I'm sorry for what you both went through, but I can't help Helen. She wants emotional support, something I can't give. Like I said before, Heather doesn't control me, and I don't control her. It is basic, mate. respect that I'm not helping another, she wolf. So you bullshit attitude and talking shi
Roman pov I hold Heather from behind, and I can feel her shaking. Grim looks at me, and I see rage swirl in his eyes as he strokes her. He looks livid as he looks at the door. Doctor Frank comes in and pulls the ultrasound machine with him. "Let me check the twins honey",he says as she sniffles.
"Stay with your girls, Roman. We got this, "Kaiden smiles my way. "Are you sure?"I'm torn. I don't want anyone thinking we can't fight our own battles. "This is what a joined pack does. We will have your back Roman ",they run out, and Bow goes with them because he likes this shit. That man lov
Heather pov We are in the tub, and I'm so embarrassed because my body is changing. I'm gaining weight so fast, and I want to cry over it. I've always been one hundred pounds, but my with coma, I got down to eighty six, and now I'm rapidly going up. "You look so damn good babe",he kisses my lips
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 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
