Kyra couldn't focus on her job because Ryker was everywhere and the mate bond was burning under her skin like acid. She was supposed to be managing wardrobe for twelve different racing teams but all she could think about was the alpha who'd just announced he was moving to Portland and the son who was currently sitting in the stands asking Zara a million questions about his father."You look like hell," Marcus said, appearing at her elbow with concern written all over his kind face. "Want to tell me what's going on with you and the Rider Alpha?""Nothing's going on," Kyra lied, checking her clipboard for the tenth time and seeing none of the words. "He's just here for the championship like everyone else.""He's been watching you for the past hour," Marcus said gently. "And his team told me he's extending their stay indefinitely, which is unusual for someone who usually leaves right after winning."Kyra's hands started shaking and she had to set the clipboard down before she dropped it.

Ryker sat across from his son for the first time and had no idea what to say because Kade was coloring a motorcycle with intense concentration and didn't seem bothered by the tension suffocating the break room. Kyra stood by the door like she was ready to bolt, Zara watched him like a hawk ready to attack, and all Ryker could think was that he'd missed six years of this boy's life."Do you like racing?" Kade asked suddenly, not looking up from his drawing."I've been racing since I was sixteen," Ryker said, and his voice came out rougher than he intended. "Do you?""I love it," Kade said, finally looking up with eyes that were identical to Ryker's wolf. "Mom won't let me ride yet but I know all the riders' names and their times and everything."Something twisted in Ryker's chest because this was his son, talking about motorcycles with the same passion Ryker had at that age. "Your mom's smart to keep you safe," he said. "Bikes are dangerous.""But you know what you're doing," Kade said

*Six Years Ago*Kyra scrubbed the palace floors of the alpha's private chambers with hands that was starting to bleed from a full day of cleaning, but she didn't stop because she needed this job more than she needed rest. Zara's medical bills were piling up and the pack only paid omega servants minimum wage, so Kyra took every extra shift she could get even if it meant working eighteen-hour days.The alpha's chambers were off-limits to most staff, but the head housekeeper had called in sick and someone needed to clean before Alpha Ryker returned from his meeting with the elders. Kyra had volunteered immediately because private chamber cleaning paid double, and double meant another week of Zara's medications.She was so focused on scrubbing that she didn't hear the bathroom door open, didn't realize she wasn't alone until a deep voice said, "Who the hell are you?"Kyra's head snapped up and her breathing stopped because Alpha Ryker Thorne stood in the doorway wearing nothing but a to

Kyra had never been so grateful to see her sister in her entire life, and she practically collapsed against Zara the moment the younger woman pulled her away from Ryker's overwhelming presence. "Thank you," she whispered, her voice shaking with suppressed tears. "Thank you for coming.""Always," Zara said fiercely, keeping herself between Kyra and Ryker like a shield despite being half the alpha's size. "Now someone want to explain why the Rider Alpha himself is cornering my sister in a hallway?""Because your sister has been hiding my son from me for six years," Ryker said, his eyes never leaving Kyra's face. "And we're in the middle of a discussion about that.""Discussion looks a lot like intimidation from where I'm standing," Zara shot back. "And I don't care if you're an alpha or the moon goddess herself, you don't get to push Kyra around after what you did to her."Ryker's expression shifted to something almost confused. "What I did to her?" he repeated. "She's the one who ra

Ryker watched emotions flash across Kyra's face and his wolf snarled at the fear he saw there, he hated that his mate was looking at him like he was a threat instead of her protector. Six years ago he'd been an arrogant fool who'd let pride blind him to what actually mattered, and now he was standing in a hallway of a human racing arena facing the consequences of his stupidity."You're still my mate," he repeated, softer this time, watching her flinch at the words. "The contract didn't break the bond, Kyra, it just postponed it, and you know that as well as I do.""The contract said one year," Kyra said, her voice shaking but her chin lifted in defiance that made his wolf want to push her against the wall and kiss her until she remembered who she belonged to. "I fulfilled my end of the bargain and then I left like you wanted, so you don't get to show up now and claim rights to a child you didn't know existed."Ryker stepped closer and caught her scent, honey and home, and the mate

Kyra's hands wouldn't stop shaking as she locked the break room door behind them and pressed her forehead against the cold metal, trying to remember how to breathe. Six years of running and hiding, six years of building a safe life for her son, and it had all just crumbled to dust because Kade had walked up to Ryker Thorne."Mom, you're scaring me," Kade said from behind her, his small voice breaking through the panic flooding her system. "Why are you crying? Did I do something wrong?"Kyra turned and dropped to her knees, pulling Kade into her arms and holding him so tight he squirmed in protest. "You didn't do anything wrong, baby," she whispered against his hair, breathing in his scent of honey and home. "I just got scared when I couldn't find you, that's all.""But I was only in the garage and that man seemed nice," Kade said, pulling back to look at her with those too-intelligent eyes that saw more than any six-year-old should. "He smelled right, Mom, like how Aunt Zara says

The sun shone brightly through the windows of the grand living room, casting a warm glow on the faces of the family members gathered inside. It was an unusual sight, the home filled with laughter, chatter, and the hum of anticipation as the family came together to celebrate Chloe’s high school graduation. The once chaotic house was now a picture of maturity, love, and the enduring bonds they had all built over the years.Chloe, now eighteen and on the verge of stepping into the world as an adult, stood by the window, gazing out at the yard. She had grown into a beautiful young woman, her dark hair falling in waves around her shoulders. She still wore that soft, knowing smile, a mixture of Isla’s warmth and Adrian’s quiet confidence. As she straightened her graduation gown, there was an undeniable sense of pride in her eyes.“She’s finally leaving the nest,” Sophie said, watching her with a grin, leaning against the doorframe. Lovey and Dovey, Sophie’s twins, were nearby, bickering ov

The next morning, the house buzzed with energy. The chaos of the previous night had given way to a morning full of laughter, coffee, and casual conversation. The group had gathered in the living room, with Chloe happily playing in the corner and Aiden perched on Dante’s knee, chattering away about some new game he’d invented.Sophie, sitting next to Leo, was practically glowing. She had an energy about her that was infectious, and her fingers kept fidgeting with her engagement ring. Leo, ever the calm one, noticed her excitement and couldn’t help but grin.“So, what’s the big news?” Naomi asked, raising an eyebrow as she sipped her coffee, already sensing that something was up.Sophie stood up, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm, and in a dramatic flourish, she said, “We’ve decided to plan our wedding!”There was a moment of stunned silence before everyone began reacting.“What?!” Isla exclaimed, wide-eyed. “Already?”Sophie nodded, her smile stretching from ear to ear. “Yes, we’ve

Everybody was still having fun when Lucian stepped inside, his tall frame filling the doorway, and behind him was a woman. A mysterious blonde with a confident stride and an air of intrigue. Her bright blue eyes sparkled with amusement as she scanned the room, clearly unfazed by the chaos that was unfolding.The moment Lucian stepped over the threshold, the energy in the room shifted. He looked entirely too composed, almost smug, like he had just walked in on an amusing scene he didn’t need to be involved in."Well, well, looks like I’m interrupting something," Lucian said, a smirk tugging at the corners of his lips.Sophie and Isla were still standing, but their eyes shifted toward the new arrivals, momentarily distracted by the unexpected intrusion."Lucian," Isla started, her voice still a little sharp, but her anger started to dissipate as curiosity took over. "Who’s this?"Lucian stood beside the blonde woman, one arm casually draped across her shoulders. "Everyone, meet Moriah

The moment the private jet touched down on the runway, Isla felt the weight of two weeks of bliss slip away. They had landed back in New York, and the vacation was officially over. Adrian was by her side, his hand on her back, but her mind was already running a million miles per hour. The soft tropical air and romantic evenings under the stars felt a world away from the chaos waiting for her at home."Ready for reality?" Adrian asked, his voice laced with a teasing smile.Isla didn’t return the grin. "I don't know if I'm ready for her," she muttered under her breath, her eyes narrowing as she spotted Sophie in the distance, talking to Leo.Sophie. The one person who had managed to put a major damper on Isla’s wedding day by leaving early without any explanation. The anger that had been bubbling inside Isla since the moment Sophie disappeared before the ceremony finished came rushing back to the surface.As soon as the couple stepped inside the house, Isla's eyes immediately went to So

Victor and Elizabeth’s honeymoon was quieter than the other couple's. They had chosen to stay in a secluded, luxury bungalow perched on the edge of the island, surrounded by nothing but lush greenery, the sound of waves crashing against the shore, and the occasional call of distant birds.The pace of their days was slower, gentler. There were no zip-lining adventures or daring hikes for them. Instead, they spent long hours in each other’s company, talking, walking along the shore, exploring hidden parts of the island, and rediscovering the joy of simply being together.Each moment felt like a gift, especially after everything they had been through. There was no rush, no agenda. Just time for each other.One afternoon, as the sun dipped low in the sky, casting a warm, golden glow over the ocean, Elizabeth and Victor found themselves walking along a quiet stretch of beach. The sand was soft underfoot, and the sound of the waves was soothing, like a melody that was just for them. They

Isla was on top of the world.. literally. She was clinging to the side of a cliff, wind rushing through her hair, adrenaline surging in her veins. Below her, a sprawling tropical jungle stretched out in every direction, a vast sea of green that seemed to go on forever. Adrian was at her side, his hands steady on the ropes as they prepared for the next step in their zip-lining adventure.“Ready?” Adrian called, his voice dripping with excitement.Isla flashed him a grin, her heart racing. “You bet I am!”And then, with a push from the guide and a shared look of exhilaration between them, they soared into the air, suspended by nothing but the cables and their own trust in the harnesses. The wind whipped past them as they flew across the canopy, the sounds of the jungle below muffled by the rush.When they reached the end, Isla landed gracefully on the platform, laughing. Adrian followed, landing smoothly next to her. His grin was just as wide as hers.“That was amazing!” Isla exclaimed,
