LILA -I guided Cast back to the living room. Linc leaned against the chair, his head lobbed back, looking barely conscious. He wouldn't make it to bed on his own, and I knew it."Come on, let's get him to the room," I said to Cast, nodding toward Linc. Without a word, he went to Linc's other side, slipping his arm around him to support most of his weight. I did my best to steady him as well, and together, we moved him across the house.Every step seemed to cost Cast. His face tightened, his movements strained. He'd forced his own shift in barely three minutes. No wonder he was struggling. Cast had used up nearly everything he had to get back to us in time, knowing what he'd be walking into. Despite his own fatigue, he'd been here with us through it all.Finally, we got Linc onto the bed, his head hitting the pillow as he sank into it, his body already going slack as he let go of what little energy he'd been holding onto. I looked back at Cast, who leaned against the wall, breathing

CAST - I woke up pissed. The kind of pissed that made my blood feel hot and my jaw clench before I’d even sat up. Last night, I had been too focused on keeping Lila and Linc safe, on making sure Linc didn’t tear the whole damn territory apart. But now it hit me once I had some rest. That punk had the nerve to show up here, sneaking around like he owned the place.I swung my legs off the bed. Linc and Lila weren’t in the room. I figured they’d gotten up with Declan. Fine. I knew where I needed to be.The basement door creaked as I pushed it open, heading down the steps two at a time. The air was colder down there, the stone walls holding the chill, but the kid in the cage didn’t seem bothered. He was sitting on the floor, his arms wrapped around his knees, looking more bored than worried. Like he had nothing to worry about. His scrawny body didn’t scream threat, but his attitude grated on me the second I saw him. He barely flinched when I grabbed the chair from the corner and slammed

I headed upstairs, following the sound of splashing water and Declan’s delighted squeals. When I stepped into the bathroom, I found all three of my guys crowded around the tub. Declan sat in the middle of the bath, splashing and babbling while Linc knelt beside the tub and Cast leaned over from the other side, both of them soaked from the chaos.“That bad?” I asked, leaning against the doorframe with a grin.Linc looked up, water dripping from his sleeve. “The diaper was more for show than function. Banana aftermath. Don’t ask.”Cast laughed, grabbing a washcloth to wipe the water Declan had just splashed into his face. “We figured a full scrub-down was easier than dealing with the mess.”Declan smacked the water, sending another spray of droplets flying. I laughed as the two men groaned, trying to contain the tidal wave of destruction our son was gleefully creating.“Seems like you’ve got it handled,” I teased, stepping closer to get a better look at Declan, who was clearly having th

LILA - The kitchen smelled like vanilla and lemon polish. Balloons and streamers sat in half-unwrapped piles on the counter, waiting to transform the space. Selena was coming home today. A part of me wanted to be happy about it, to welcome her back like nothing had changed. The rest of me wasn't sure what the hell I was supposed to feel. I glanced at Cast and Jaed working across the room. Cast had Jaed stringing lights along the exposed beams, keeping a close watch on him. Jaed's cuffs clinked faintly with each stretch and adjustment. They weren't tight, just enough to remind him not to screw up. Cast hadn't said it outright, but I knew what this was. A test for Jaed. Cast was giving him a chance, something he'd rarely been given when he was that age. Maybe this kid would figure it out before he went too far down a dark path. Cast hadn't been that lucky. Jaed shifted on the ladder, reaching for another hook. Cast didn't look away from him, not even once. "You're doing good,"

CAST - The basement felt odd as I walked down the steps. The air carried a stillness that prickled under my skin. Something was off. Jaed wasn't moving around in his cage like he usually did, and the faint, restless sounds he made were missing. As I turned the corner, I froze.Selena was on the far side of the cage, her arms threaded through the bars. Jaed stood close, their bodies tangled together like magnets. I barely had time to process what I saw before she leaned in and kissed him. My blood boiled instantly."What the hell is going on here?" Selena jumped back like she'd been burned. Jaed stepped away, retreating toward the cot."What are you doing?" I stepped closer. "Slutting it up with the prisoner? Really, Selena? Have you lost your damn mind?"She opened her mouth, but I didn't let her speak. "You think this is okay? You're not corrupting him. Whatever game you think you're playing ends now."Jaed's fists clenched at his sides as he stepped forward. "Stop talking to her l
