Sebastian was here. His voice was unmistakable. I knew I’d heard it. I rushed outside. I screamed at the sight in front of me. Sebastian was outside with at least twenty men. The camp members were all on their knees, their things scattered and all over the place. One of the men grabbed Celia and made her kneel down too.“Let her go! What do you think you’re doing?” I shouted helplessly.Sebastian ran to my side and hugged me. I wiggled free from him. “Alora. Are you okay? Are you hurt? What did they do to you? I’ve been looking all over for you. You’re safe now okay? I’ve got you. You have nothing to worry about.”He was rambling and I could barely understand a word of what he was saying. I was focused on the camp. The twins were crying. Lucian was on the floor and one of the soldiers had his feet firmly planted on his back. “Let them go, Sebastian. What do you think you’re doing?”“They took you. I’ve come to save you.”“What the hell are you saying? Nobody took me. Tell your men t

I sat with Anna in my room later that day. I brought out the potion and showed it to her.She gasped and collected it from my hands. “You found it.”“I did…” I smiled softly. “You don’t look happy about it though. Why is that?”I smiled at how observant Anna was. “I know that it’s what I wanted. But now that I have it, I’m not so sure anymore.”Anna nodded in understanding. “You love him.”“I do…” I said, my voice breaking. I sniffled and wiped a stray tear to stop it from falling. “And anyway, I couldn’t use it even if I wanted to. It would affect the babies. I have to make a choice.”“You’re not going to…”“Of course not.” I replied, knowing exactly what she was hinting at. “I’ll keep it safe. At least until the babies are here. And then I’ll figure out what to do then.”Anna nodded. “Okay.”I stood up from the bed and hid the potion in one of my bottom drawers. It would be safe there. Anna left and I was left alone again with my thoughts. I had never been so unsure all my life. I

Sebastian straightened up, trying to maintain his composure. "I’m here to take you home, Alora. It’s been long enough. The babies… they need to be in a stable environment. You haven’t even been to your checkups in a while."“Oh, so now you care about that?” I crossed my arms, glaring at Sebastian. "I’m not going anywhere with you. I’ve told you already. I’m staying here."My father looked between the two of us, his eyes narrowing. "What is this nonsense, Alora? Why are you refusing to go home?""I’m staying here because I want to, Dad. I need space. And if you also don’t want me here, then all you have to do is say the word. Sebastian has been nothing but trouble since he’s come into our lives. And why are you taking his side all of a sudden? Aren’t you supposed to be mad at him?"My father sighed. “I’m only thinking of what’s best for you, Alora. And that means putting our differences aside if that’s what it’ll take.”Sebastian's face tightened. "I came here to check on my wife and

The drive back felt longer than it should have. Maybe it was the weight in my chest, or the way the air shifted the closer we got to Silverback territory. I could feel the pull of the pack bond again— a low hum beneath my skin, like the land itself remembered me.And the mate bond… the severed bond was making my chest start to hurt again the closer I got to Sebastian.I kept my eyes on my hands. My fingers rested protectively over my bump as the babies stirred softly inside me. My children… they were the only thing that mattered now.Catherine sat next to me in silence. She didn’t press. I was grateful for that. I didn’t think I could speak without something breaking loose in my throat.When we passed the outer gates, the guards looked stunned. Their eyes flickered between me and Catherine like they couldn’t believe I was really here.One of them bowed deeply. “Welcome home, Luna.”My stomach clenched at the word.Home.Was it still that?I said nothing as Catherine thanked them.The

The chill of early morning clung to the air as we waited at the southern gate. A low mist curled across the gravel path like breath from the forest itself. I stood beside Sebastian, our shoulders just far enough apart to remind me that we were still worlds away from each other.He didn’t say a word. Neither did I.But my pulse thudded against my skin with every second that passed. Because this— what we were about to face— was no longer just a political worry or vague tension. It was a real war.Then I heard them.The low rumble of hooves and boots came first, and then I saw them: rows of North Ridge warriors, all in dark clothing and moving in unison. In front of them rode a tall, broad shouldered man with a quiet assurance in his posture. His dark armor clung to his body like it had been forged just for him. Alpha Killian.Sebastian stepped forward as Killian dismounted, a rare flicker of ease crossing his face. “Brother,” he said, reaching out his forearm. “You’re right on time.”
