Jasmine pov I was walking home when I ran into my mate and I was excited till he kissed a girl in front of me. She looked gutted and sobbed, knowing we were mated. You can tell when mates cross paths it is literally in the air. The smell changes for both wolves. I felt so much anger and pain.
Kaiden pov She drove off, and I felt my heart crack at the tears running down her cheeks. Jasmine was a gorgeous woman, but I was head over heels for Cecilia. We met at twelve and at thirteen realized we loved each other. We have been together ever since, and once we hit eighteen, we realized we w
Kaiden pov The private investigator found her, and I almost raced out the door to bring her back. "Sir, she looks awful," he says, handing over pictures. "Where is her apartment?"I ask, looking through the pictures of her. "She is on a lower level apartment two b. She has an elderly lady try
Kaiden pov I watch her as she sits there looking awful. The Jasmine I see now is nothing compared to the woman who left five months ago. She lost a significant amount of weight and looked like she cried all the time. She had huge bags under her eyes, and those gorgeous eyes were bloodshot. "Are
Kaiden pov I got to see my mate naked, and I feel so guilty she looks way too thin. She got more bruises on different areas of her body, making me angry, but I can't show it. I growled earlier, and she got scared. "Kaiden, I'm cold," she whispers, shaking. "Almost done, sweets," I say, stepp
Kaiden pov She falls asleep, and the messages from Cecilia keep coming. "I stood by you since thirteen. I deserve what I want, and that is you. Jasmine is in our way. "I sigh. "Stop texting me, Cecilia. Your mate is who you are being with. I chose Jasmine, and that won't change",she texts back
Jasmine pov I sit thinking as Kaiden paces, talking to Grayson, his beta about Cecilia. "She is texting threats, brother," he says into his phone. "I banned her Kaiden she left a day ago. Block her on your phone. "I can hear Grayson say. I gave him my virginity, which is another thought tha
When he opens it, she tries to charge in, but he blocks her. "Stop Cecilia, this is my mate's apartment, and you're not welcomed inside",she glares at me, and I sigh. "You had me kicked out of Fireside Kaiden, and for that," she points at me a scowl on her face, " I gave you years, and you just
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
