Chapter: Chapter 102: Ever AfterThe violin sang under my fingers as I finished Bach's Concerto in A Minor, the same piece I struggled with at five, scared of everything. Now, at twelve, I get that music, like families, needs practice, patience, and guts to keep going even when it feels impossible."Beautiful, Emma," Mom said from the kitchen, her hands covered in flour from making Sunday dinner for the whole Romano-Sterling crew. "You've gotten so much better this year."I put down my violin and looked around our living room, where family photos were everywhere, like love you can see. Wedding pictures from seven years ago, when I surprised everyone with my vows. Baby pictures of Michael and Sophia, the twins who came right on time and made me the big sister I always wanted to be. Pictures from Great-Grandma Elena's 80th birthday, Uncle Thomas teaching the twins about gardening, Detective Sarah and Uncle Lucas's wedding three years ago."Mom, can I ask you something before everyone gets here?"She wiped her hands on

Chapter: Chapter 101: The Honeymoon PromiseOur suite looked over Elliott Bay. Seattle's lights winked like little secrets through the big windows. I watched Bella take off her Romano family necklace. Her wedding dress made a soft pile around her, like spilled light. Seeing that, I felt something warm inside, way beyond just wanting her – it was like finally being where I belonged.Mrs. Romano-Sterling, I said softly as I walked to her, trying to show how much I respected her after the crazy day we'd been through, So, how's it feel to be married to your business partner... again?Bella turned to me, her face glowing. She looked happily tired from celebrating with two hundred people who'd been in our corner the whole time. Mr. Romano-Sterling, it feels like we finally got it right, y'know?I could spot the garden out the window. That's where we'd just promised to stick together forever, where Emma surprised everyone by saying her own vows. And where my mom came back after thirty years to see that things were okay, the thing she

Chapter: Chapter 100: Dancing Through the YearsThe security tablet trembled in my hands as I tried to focus on perimeter protocols while Detective Sarah Martinez reviewed guest lists across Elena's kitchen table. Six hours until Bella and Mikel's wedding ceremony, and I could barely string together a coherent sentence about unmarked police units positioned around the garden."Lucas, you've checked that same surveillance report three times in five minutes," Sarah observed, her dark eyes studying me with the same intensity she brought to interrogating suspects. "What's really going on?"I set down the tablet and met her gaze directly for the first time in months. Sarah Martinez had been part of our family's security team for over a year, coordinating law enforcement support through every Romano crisis. Professional, brilliant, unshakeable in dangerous situations.And I'd been falling in love with her for eight months without finding the courage to say a word."Sarah, can I ask you something that has nothing to do with wedding securi

Chapter: Chapter 99: Lucas's Love StoryThe wedding security briefing should've been easy: check the area, confirm the guest list, and go over emergency plans. Instead, there I was, staring at Detective Sarah Martinez across Elena's kitchen table, totally blanking on every rule I knew after 15 years of protecting families."Lucas, you with me?" Sarah's voice had that mix of amusement and annoyance I'd come to love over the past year of working together. "I just said we have three unmarked cars around the garden, and you're looking at me like I'm speaking Martian."I forced myself to look at the security tablet, but I kept getting distracted by how the afternoon sun lit up the gold in her eyes. "Sorry. Right. Three cars. Got it."Sarah leaned back, studying me like I was a suspect. "Lucas Romano, what's up? You've been out of it all week, and today you can barely talk."Her being so direct felt like a challenge I couldn't dodge with being polite or talking about family stuff. Sarah Martinez didn't take excuses from criminals

Chapter: Chapter 98: Reception NewsThe string quartet played in Elena's pretty garden as the two hundred guests moved from the ceremony to tables with vanilla-scented roses. My new husband and I walked through rice and happy cheers, with Emma next to us, still throwing shiny rose petals and yelling to everyone that she helped plan the best Romano wedding ever."Mrs. Romano-Sterling," Mikel whispered as we stopped at our table. "How's it feel to be married to your business partner?"I smiled and fixed my sapphire ring, catching the sun. "Mr. Romano-Sterling, it feels like home and an adventure at the same time."Emma got on the chair between us, her dress still clean after hours of fun. "Mom and Dad, when do we tell everyone the big family secret?"I got nervous. We planned to announce the baby during the toasts, but Emma wanted to tell everyone now."After dinner," Mikel said, squeezing my hand. "Big news needs the right time."Lucas came to our table with Detective Sarah Martinez, both with champagne and smiles. "Read

Chapter: Chapter 97: The Vows RenewedFather Morrison's hands shook a bit as he held Emma's crayon-covered vows next to our fancy promises. It was kind of perfect, seeing our kid's simple words next to what Mikel and I had learned after a tough few years."Friends and family," Father Morrison said, loud enough for everyone in Elena's yard to hear. He'd seen, like, a zillion Romano events. "We're here not just for a wedding, but to celebrate a love that's been through the wringer and came out stronger."Two hundred people got quiet, but I could pretty much only see Mikel. He was in his tux, crying, looking at me like he still couldn't believe this was happening."Bella and Mikel, seven years ago, you made promises based on feelings. Today, you're making promises based on what you know and what you choose." Father Morrison smiled at us and Emma, who was standing there holding her flowers, proud that she'd set the mood just right."Mikel Sterling, tell us what you wrote for Bella."Mikel pulled out a paper, his hands shaking

Chapter: Chapter 27: The Hospital GambitChapter 27: The Hospital Gambit Ella POVThe helicopter's rotor wash nearly knocked me over as we landed on Ashworth Memorial's helipad. Kane cradled Luna like she might shatter, his blood-soaked arms trembling."Move!" Dr. Sarah barked at the trauma team waiting with a gurney. "Gunshot wound to the chest, cardiac arrest reversed once, she's barely holding on."They transferred Luna with practiced efficiency. Kane refused to let go of her hand, jogging alongside the gurney as they rushed her inside.I followed on unsteady legs, my pregnant belly heavy and awkward. The baby kicked hard, sensing my fear."Ella." Nathaniel's hand steadied me from behind. "You shouldn't be here. This is Theron's hospital.""Luna would want me here." I kept moving toward the elevator. "And she saved Dr. Sarah's life. I'm not abandoning her now."The doors closed on us, the sterile smell making my stomach turn. Kane stared at his sister's pale face, his jaw working."She can't die," he said, voice shattere

Through the shattered frame, a massive dark wolf landed in a crouch.Kane.Even in wolf form, I recognized him. The silver-tipped fur. The ice-blue eyes that found mine instantly, assessing, calculating.Vivian's gun swung between Kane and me. "How touching. The obsessed Alpha comes to save his precious baby mama." Her finger tightened on the trigger. "But you're too late, Kane. This ends now.""Lower the weapon, Vivian." Kane's voice rolled through the cabin, all Alpha commands. He shifted mid-sentence, standing naked and unbothered in the glass. "This isn't the plan.""Plans change." Vivian's mask was cracking, her composed exterior fracturing.

I'm dead serious.Your dad kicked you out. I kept my cool, though I was fuming inside. He picked Theron's politics over his pregnant daughter. You don't owe him crap.I know what he did.Then why even think about this? I stepped closer, needing her to see things clearly. Kane's counting on this. He knows you can't leave someone in danger.That's why we're not leaving. She looked me straight in the eye. We're walking right into his trap and setting it off from the inside.Harrison coughed by the door. Ella, check this out. He opened his laptop, typing like crazy.

His expression was pure terror.Below the photo: *You have 24 hours to return what you stole, or Alpha Richard Montgomery dies screaming. Choose: your mate's father, or your freedom.—K*The warmth drained from my body."My father." The words came out hollow. "Kane has my father.""We don't know that it's real." Harrison moved closer. "This could be staged. Your father's been working with Theron against Nathaniel for months. This might be a theater designed to lure you back.""Or it might be real, and Kane is torturing him."Nathaniel's jaw clenched. "Your father threw you out. Chose his political position over his pregnant daughter. You don't owe him a rescue.""He's still my father.""Who abandoned you when you needed him most.""I know what he did!"

Ella's scream cut through the night as she and Luna disappeared over the side.My wolf surged forward. I launched myself into empty air.The fall felt endless. The wind roared past my ears. Then I hit water so cold it drove the air from my lungs.I surfaced, gasping, scanning desperately through the darkness and spray. The rapids churned around me, trying to drag me under."Ella!" My voice barely carried over the rushing water.A flash of movement downstream. Luna's dark hair. She was struggling to keep Ella's head above water, but the current was too strong.I swam hard, letting the rapids carry me faster. My hand closed around Ella's arm just as a wave pulled her under. I hauled her up, wrapping one arm around her chest while I fought to keep us both surfaced.She wasn't moving."Ella!" I shook her. Nothing. "Ella, breathe!"Luna grabbe
