Kaden

She wants to leave us. I thought we were making headway, that something had changed between us after her heat. But she wants to take our pups and leave us. I can’t let that happen!

“You’re not going anywhere, little flower!” My roar echoes off the sterile hospital walls.

I don’t care that our families are here. I don’t care that it wakes our sleeping pups. All I care about is making sure she stays home with us where she belongs.

If she’s not with me, I can’t prove how sorry I am. I can’t heal her heart, can’t make amends for every shitty thing I’ve ever done to her. If she leaves, she won’t let me get close enough again.

But I don’t get long to feel sorry for myself. Because the shitshow that happens next consumes all our attention.

“Your mates are right, sweetheart. As much as we’d love to have you home, to spend time getting to know your pups, you belong with them. You need to find a way to heal your family.” Auntie Sarah squares her shoulders, ready to stand her groun

After all their parents went through they absolutely should be ashamed of the way they are acting. First Ellie and Mason and now poor Liv. Their parents need a reality check, they need to really remember what happened and respect their children's choices.

I am even more disappointed in Olivia’s parents now. Everything they said might be true but it was the very wrong time to say it. When are they ever going to be there for her when she needs them? Never I guess. She must feel so alone.

    Declan “Goddess fucking damn it!” I throw my coffee mug across the hall, staring in frustration as the brown liquid trickles down the wall. Just one more mess in a sea of messes I still need to clean up. “Did I just hear my implacable Beta lose his cool?” Kaden pokes his head into the office, snorting when he sees the shattered coffee cup.“It’s been a week. Kade! A Fucking week since that rogue threatened our family! And we’re no closer to figuring out who they are or who they work for!“And you! You fucking went and let her leave this house, take the boys where we can’t see them, can’t keep them safe!”I’m not really pissed at him. I know it, he knows it. Even our relentless search for the men in the woods, as fruitless as it’s been, is little more than a distraction from a much bigger problem. Dealing with the reason we were in those woods in the first place, and the self-contempt and total ruination we’ve both been wading through in the aftermath. “They’re at my parents house

    Olivia Ellie and I sit at the kitchen table, sipping our sodas while watching our toddlers run circles around her parents in the next room. Seeing my pups’ village of three expand and grow these last few weeks fills me with happiness, even if the circumstances are a little complicated. But knowing they have the love they deserve, more than I alone can give them, brings me more peace than I’ve felt in a long time. “Adorable aren’t they?” Ellie draws my attention from the controlled chaos in the other room. “It’s too bad our pups won’t all grow up together the way we did.” “Why not?” I ask, confused. “Ours will.” “Right.” She snorts. “I knew you weren’t coming back to Sacred Moon with us the first time I saw my brother and Declan following you around like lost puppies with stars in their eyes.” “El, you know that’s just the bond. I know they’re family but you can’t seriously believe they really want me. Not after the crap show that was our past.” I shoot back incredulously. She

    Olivia How did this become my life? I wonder this as I lay wide awake, staring at a ceiling that’s not mine. And I don’t mean that in general terms. I mean that in very specific terms, as in Kaden’s ceiling. In Kaden’s bedroom. Where I’m lying on his bed. To be fair, nothing remotely sexy is happening. Not with both pups squished in on either side of me and Declan and Kaden on either side of them. The boys were terrified after they woke from a dead sleep to the sound of their fathers’ ferocious growls and refused to sleep in their own rooms. Not that their dads would let them if they tried. Kaden immediately insisted none of us leave his sight the rest of the night, to which Declan added his intent to never take his eyes off us the rest of his life. We were all bundled into a safe room I didn’t even know existed, while he stayed with us so Kaden and a team of men could search the packhouse from top to bottom. When we finally got the all clear, I dared to suggest I go back to my

    Declan Olivia sits on the sofa in my office, quietly reading a book while the boys play with their toys on the floor by her feet. I should be working but my eyes keep drifting to my little family. Livvy tries to ignore me but every now and then, our eyes connect and her lips curl up in a knowing smirk. Fuck, she’’s stunning! She’s always been gorgeous, but it hits differently now. The shadow of pain in her eyes, hiding the vibrant emerald sparkle, is a memory that will always haunt me. But it isn’t there now, just a brilliant green, lively and bright. I can’t help but stare, addicted to the beautiful view. I give up on work, crossing the room to sit next to her. My hand twitches with the need to touch her. So I do, cupping her cheeks and rubbing my thumb over her smooth porcelain skin. I love the way she flushes under my touch. Our flirtatious conversation earlier was a good sign. I didn’t miss the way her eyes filled with lust when I mentioned joining her in the shower. But I a

    Kaden “It’s okay, love. You’re okay. We’ve got you.” I try to calm my mate, Declan and I holding her between us as her whole body trembles. “It’s not okay! It’s not! We-, we were just here, in this room. Wh-, what if this ha-, happened when we were here with the boys? Oh Goddess!” She breaks down into shuddering sobs again. Her face is buried in my chest and my t-shirt is covered in snot but she’s letting me comfort her and that’s all that matters. Declan is rubbing her shoulders, murmuring in her ear, while I stroke her hair. Between that and our scents surrounding her, she starts to relax.. The entire kitchen is destroyed, a hole blown completely through the inside wall. We’re currently standing in the middle of the rubble, surveying the damage. The blast shook the entire house, even causing minor damage upstairs where we were. Thankfully no one was hurt. Just thinking Liv and the twins could’ve still been in the kitchen baking cookies cuts me in two. Half of me wants to diss

    Hello lovely readers.I just wanted to jump in to let you know I won't be able to post an update tonight due to unforseen circumstance. However, I will try to give double updates over the weekend to make up for it. The next few chaters need a little extra attention so this will give me a bit more time to make sure I'm happy with them. I also wanted to let you know that Brynlee's story will directly follow this one. You may not get all the answers you'd like regarding her situation in this book but that's because she deserves her own time to shine. As always, thank you so much for taking this journey with me and for all your support! Words cannot express how much I appreciate you!Much Love,Cara

    Olivia Even Declan skirting hot, open-mouthed kisses down my neck isn’t enough to draw my attention away from the man screaming my name downstairs. I try to tug out of his arms but he pulls me back, mumbling against my skin between licking and nipping my flesh. “Kaden will handle it. Stay here with me.” He rolls, pinning me with his full weight. Under different circumstances, I might love the feeling of being trapped beneath him, luxuriating in the freedom and safety of his domination. But the moment Kaden left the bed, the shouting finally breaking through my libidinous daze, it was like stepping into an ice cold shower. My eyes are wide open now and I know I have to face reality. “Declan, I know it’s Kyle down there. I recognize his voice.” I push against his chest, forcing him to look at me. “I owe him a conversation. A heat is one thing, but this, what we’re doing right now . . . oh Goddess! What kind of person am I?” “Our mate!” Declan growls, a deep rumble in his chest tha

    Kyle I thought she was different. I should have known better! They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree but I didn’t want to believe it. The minute I laid eyes on Olivia cross, everything else fell away. It felt like the last twenty years of my life were meaningless compared to that one moment. Somehow I knew she would change me, irrevocably. I fought it at first. Two decades is a long time to plot and plan, to want something so fiercely that it consumes your dreams. I clung to that feeling like a lifeline until one day it ceased to matter anymore. There was only her. “Kyle, what do you mean it’s happening again?” Shit! I didn't mean to say that out loud. “Nothing. Why is your scent all over them and theirs on you?” I deflect, deftly changing the subject. “Kyle, please, can we sit and talk? You've been gone a while and I have so much to tell you.” She sighs, a chagrined look on her face. “Maybe if you answered your phone, you could have told me sooner.” I snap, unvei

    Brynlee Who am I? It’s the last thing I ask myself before I fall asleep and the first thing that comes to mind the minute I wake up. Who am I now that the person I used to be no longer exists. Sweet, innocent Brynlee is gone. She died the moment Xavier cornered her in that coffee shop all those weeks ago, even if she didn’t know it yet. But when he, and then his son Xander, put their hands on me, brutalized me in unspeakable ways, there was no coming back from that. No, sweet, innocent Brynlee, the girl everyone loved, who never put a toe out of line, she burned to ash in those moments. But what’s awoken in her place is something I can’t begin to wrap my head around. Contemplating a question I can’t stop asking myself but that has no easy answer is hard. Going to sleep and never waking up would be easier. But I don't. I won’t. For them. Everything I do is for them, the people that love me. My family who would never recover from my loss. A sentence I can’t impose upon them, even if

    Olivia "That's the last box," I announce, setting down a container marked 'Isla's stuffed animals' in what will become the nursery of our new packhouse. The sprawling structure sits perfectly between Glass Lake and Crimson Moon territories, a physical representation of the bridges we've built between our packs.Through the window, I watch Ryan and Reegan directing the placement of outdoor furniture while Kat and Declan’s mom, Isabella, supervise the unpacking of the kitchen. Having Kaden's and Declan’s parents move in with us feels right – the pups adore their grandparents, and after everything we've faced, keeping family close has become even more important.My own parents chose to stay in their home, a decision I understand completely. Brynlee needs the familiar comfort of those walls right now, needs the safety of the place she's known her whole life while she heals. The haunted look in my sister's eyes is slowly fading, but her recovery will take time. Time, and probably vengeance

    OliviaSunlight streams through our bedroom windows as I drift awake between my mates. Every inch of my body tingles with pleasant soreness, marked and claimed exactly as it always should have been. Kaden's chest rises and falls steadily against my back while Declan's arms wrap around me from the front, both of them holding me close even in sleep.Last night was . . . transformative. The "do-over" of that pivotal moment didn't just create new memories, it healed something deep inside me I hadn't even realized was still wounded. Every word they spoke, every touch they bestowed, every mark they left replaced old pain with new joy.Memories of last night flood through me, making me shiver between them. The way Kaden's voice broke when he finally said the words he should have said years ago: "My wolf has been reaching for you since that first moment." How Declan's hands trembled as he traced reverent patterns on my skin, whispering "Our missing piece, always our missing piece."Kaden stirs

    Declan I never considered myself much of a voyeur, never saw the appeal of watching others have all the fun. But with Liv, I could watch her in the throes of pleasure, her gorgeous body writhing in ecstasy all damn day. The only thing better is bringing her that pleasure myself. And now, it’s my turn. "My beautiful Luna," I breathe, crawling over her body where she reclines against Kaden’s chest. "I was lost without you, even when I didn't know what I was missing. Every instinct told me to protect you, to keep you close, but I fought it because I thought I had to." Kaden lifts her thighs, placing them on either side of his, opening her wide for me. Her pussy lips are swollen, her clit peeking out from under its hood. And a mixture of her slick and Kaden’s cum drips from her cunt. The sight is fucking erotic. "The day you left Glass Lake, something in me broke.” I whisper against her lips, kissing them softly and swallowing her moans when I scoop their cum onto my fingers and push

    Kaden Olivia writhes beneath me as I eat her out like a man possessed. I lap at her folds, not wanting to miss a single drop of the delicious juices she’s making just for me. I won’t stop until she’s squirting all over my face. But not yet. I feel her struggling to focus as my tongue moves between her legs. She thinks I’m teasing her, taking my time, and it’s making her desperate. That’s how I always want her, desperate for me. But it’s not my intention to torture her, not tonight anyway. "I should have accepted you the moment you told us," I breathe against her skin, my warm breath over her sensitive nub making her cry out. "The way my wolf reached for you, the emptiness I felt when you left . . .” I trail off so I can circle her entrance with the tip of my tongue, missing the delicious taste of her. “I was so caught up in what I thought I needed that I missed what was right in front of me."I suck her hard little clit into my mouth and flick it with my tongue. She trembles benea

    Kaden Listening to Olivia confront Kyle twists something in my chest. Her words about those lonely years, about crying herself to sleep knowing we were so close yet couldn't see her, they haunt me. Even though she's forgiven us, even though our mate bonds now pulse strong and true, the guilt gnaws at me."You're brooding," Declan observes as we wait for her outside the prison."I'm thinking," I correct him, an idea forming. "About that horrible fucking night. The first time she tried to tell us about the bond."Understanding dawns in his eyes. I don’t need a mate bond to feel his own regret surge, to see it in his eyes. "The ballroom, the night before we left for training.""We should have recognized her then. Should have felt what she was trying to tell us." The memory of her face that night, hopeful and terrified, makes my wolf whine. "What if we could do it over?"Declan raises an eyebrow. "You want to recreate that night?""But do it right this time.

    Olivia “Where are you off to, rosebud?” Declan steps out of the office doorway just as I’m walking by. I was hoping to sneak out without having this conversation but apparently fate isn’t on my side today. I sigh, knowing I can’t lie to him and knowing he won’t like my answer. “I’m going down to the cells to see Kyle.” I answer honestly. “What did you say? Because I’m sure I must have heard you wrong.” Kaden’s gaze meets mine as Declan ushers me inside the office, anxiety radiating off of both men. "I need to see him," I say quietly, watching Kaden and Declan's expressions darken. "I need answers.""Like hell you do," Declan growls, pacing the room. "Kyle worked with Xavier, Olivia. He was part of everything that's happened. You know this. Why would you want to see him after everything he’s done?"Kaden's silence is almost worse than Declan's anger. Through our mate bond, I feel his rage warring with the need to protect me from more pain."He saved my life," I remind them softl

    Olivia"I want to forgive them, my parents" I say quietly, curled between Kaden and Declan on our oversized couch after putting the kids to bed. "I need to."Kaden's fingers thread through my hair while Declan's thumb traces circles on my palm. Through our bonds, I feel their immediate support, though tinged with protective concern."Are you sure?" Declan asks, his voice gentle. "I know things have gotten better between you. But after how they dismissed your pain, can you really forgive them completely?""That's why I need to do this." I lean into Kaden's touch, drawing strength from his steady presence. "Watching Brynlee fight her way back, seeing how fragile life can be . . . I don't want to carry this weight anymore. And with Hester's chaos spell possibly influencing them . . .""It doesn't excuse everything," Kaden points out quietly.

    Kaden “I’m so sick and fucking tired of this shit!” I throw myself down in my office chair while Declan watches my tantrum with amusement. “Weeks, Dec! It’s been weeks we’ve done nothing but try to track Xander and we’re no closer to finding him. I miss Liv and the pups.” “Same.” Declan admits. “But what choice do we have? With what Brynlee shared, it’s more important than ever to find him.” "We've been neglecting her," I say, watching Declan pace our office like the caged wolf he is. "All this focus on tracking Xander, securing the territory, it’s our responsibility. But so is taking care of our Luna, our family.""She understands." Declan stops at the window, his shoulders tight. "But you're right. When was the last time we had a moment just for us? No pack business, no threats, no interruptions?"Through our restored mate bonds, I feel Olivia's exhaustion. She's been splitting her time between pack duties, the children, and visiting Brynlee. Always putting everyone else first. I
