Molly pov I wake warm and comfortable, but my pillow is snoring. I crack my eyes open to see Gunner against me sleeping. My brother is holding his mate, and I watch her snuggle up to him. She is thin, I think, as I try to scoot away from Gunner. Emptying my bladder is on my mind. "No tiny doll s

Grace pov They were targets because of what made them special—Sophia's dual nature, my perceptive abilities, the extraordinary bond that had survived even memory loss, and physical separation. Yet those same qualities provided the strength and resources to counter the threats they faced, creating
The absolute certainty in his voice flowed through our bond with warming force, his protective commitment unwavering despite the controlled expression of his wolf's aggression. I leaned into his strength even as I provided my own in return, our partnership reinforced rather than diminished by this n
Grace pov He knows," I said quietly, moving toward the door to meet my mate, recognizing through our bond the particular quality of protective rage that now flowed between them despite the physical distance. Liam entered the cabin with barely controlled fury evident in every line of his body, hi
Grace pov Elena's expression shifted to reveal more of her concern now that Lucas was engaged with Alex and unlikely to pick up on adult conversation. "Not directly," she replied, her voice low enough that even werewolf hearing wouldn't carry it to the living room. "But we've intercepted communica
Grace pov The security rotation plan had been in effect for three weeks, the Matthews family moving between four different pack properties on an irregular schedule that made surveillance nearly impossible to maintain. I had adapted to the disruption with characteristic resilience, establishing por
Grace pov That's right," I confirmed, reaching to squeeze Lucas's small hand. "And we're going to have a special adventure, staying in different pack houses for a little while. Like a vacation, but we'll still do all our regular activities—preschool, library visits, everything that's important to
"Temporary relocation would be safest," Elena suggested, though her tone indicated she anticipated resistance to this option. "Perhaps to Alexander Beth's property, which has more extensive security infrastructure from Alexander's overprotective days." Liam's arm tightened around Lucas, who had gr
