Jodie

So Carden told her about my pregnancy, yet he...Damn it, I can't even say it. I open my mouth to answer, but the words form a lump in my throat.

Enid tilts her head a little, laughing softly, “He saw your message. He wasn’t even interested in the oh-so-good news." She lifts her chin a little higher, "He frowned at it and threw the phone to me.”

My heart stings at that stupidity, even though I should have expected she would twist things around. “You’re lying,” I say quietly.

She gives

    KaiserThe door to my private office swings open so fast it bangs hard against the wall frame.I don't even have to look up from my desk to know who it is. The familiar scent and panic fills the room before she even takes three steps inside. Evelyn stands in the doorway, her brown hair pulled back in a messy knot, and her hands trembling so visibly that she drops her car keys right onto the hardwood floor."Kaiser," she breathes out, her voice raspy and breathless as if she just ran up three flights of stairs without stopping.She doesn't bother picking up her keys. She marches straight across the rug, slamming both of her palms flat onto the front edge of my mahogany desk. Her knuckles are white, and her eyes are wide, filled with an intense, frantic mix of terror and wild hope that I haven't seen since the morning Jodie vanished."Tell me you've seen it," Evelyn demands, leaning over the desk, her voice cracking under the pressure of her emotions. "Tell me you're looking at the same

    JodieI am halfway through pouring a glass of warm orange juice at my kitchen counter when my phone buzzes loudly against the granite surface.I set the pitcher down, wiping my hand on my apron as I pick up the device, expecting a routine update from the local bakery or a check-in text from the clinic. Instead, a bold, high-priority notification from my offshore banking application stretches across the lock screen.Automated Deposit Confirmed: $750,000.00 USD. Source: Global Digital Publishing Group - Quarterly Royalty Transfer.My breath hitches directly in my throat. I stare at the screen, my thumb frozen in midair as the numbers seem to dance right in front of my eyes. Seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. In one single deposit.I tap the notification quickly, entering my secure pin with trembling fingers to open the main account balance page. The total sitting in my private, unlinked offshore account isn't zero is a massive, life-changing fortune.I slowly sink down onto the w

    KaiserI slam the heavy stack of files on the wooden desk in my study, running a frustrated hand through my hair.Files, map printouts, and useless tracker summaries scatter across the blotter, sliding off the edge and fluttering down onto the rug like dying leaves. I stand over the desk, my hands planted flat against the cold wood, my chest heaving as I stare at the useless garbage sitting in front of me. Months, several solid months of turning every single territory upside down, throwing millions of dollars at private investigators, bribing border guards, and sending my elite Bristol trackers into every dark corner of the forest.And for what? Absolutely nothing. Not a single footprint. Not a single scent trail. Not a single reliable sighting."Useless," I snarl under my breath. "Every last one of them is completely useless."I collapse back into my dark leather armchair, rubbing my palms hard against my face until my eyes burn. My head throbs with a relentless, dull pain that has

    JodieA sudden, sharp thud from inside my belly wakes me up from a deep sleep.I gasp, my eyes flying open in the dim morning light filtering through the curtains of my bedroom. I sit up quickly on the soft mattress, resting my hands flat over the rounded bump pressing firmly against the fabric of my nightgown. For a second, I hold my breath, wondering if I just imagined it.Then it happens again. A hard, solid kick pushes right against my left palm, strong and full of life.A small, breathless laugh spills out of my lips into the quiet apartment. My eyes fill with warm tears as I press my hand a little firmer against my stomach, feeling the tiny movement beneath my skin.*Our baby is strong, Jodie,* Lila whispers inside my mind, her voice soft, peaceful, and lighter than it has been in a very long time. *He’s waking up early today.*"He definitely has a strong kick," I mutter to myself, smiling softly as I gently stroke my bump. "Just like her mother."It has been six long months sin

    CaldenI lie on the edge of my bed in the dark room, staring blankly at the ceiling while the heavy smell of stale whiskey hangs thick in the air around me. The curtains are pulled completely shut, blocking out the morning sun, but the pounding behind my eyes doesn't stop. My skin feels clammy and hot with fever, my throat feels like sand, and my hands won't stop shaking no matter how hard I press them into the mattress. I haven't left this room since I walked away from Enid and her father in my study, and I haven't eaten a single meal. The only thing keeping the noise in my head quiet is the bottle resting against my ribs.The door knob turns, and the hinges groan as the door swings open. Light from the hallway cuts across the dark carpet. I don't bother turning my head to see who it is."I told you to leave me alone, Dante," I say, my voice raspy, thick, and barely audible over the hum of the quiet room. "Handle the pack activities yourself today. Assign the border shifts, sign the

    CaldenThe dirt and rogue blood on my skin are dried stiff by the time I walk back into the pack house. I ignore the anxious looks from the guards at the entrance and walk up the stairs toward my study. My boots feel like lead, my hands are still stained dark, and my head throbs with a heavy, relentless rhythm. Every step feels meaningless. The image of that stranger's face in the cage keeps flashing behind my eyes, reminding me that Jodie is still out there somewhere, or worse, gone forever.I push the study door open, ready to sink into my chair and pour a glass of whiskey to shut my brain down.Instead, I stop dead in my tracks.Magnus Thornwell is sitting comfortably in my leather armchair behind my desk. He has his legs crossed at the knee, holding a glass of my aged red wine in one hand, swirling it slowly while he looks out the window. He looks completely relaxed, as if he owns the room, not bothering to even stand up when the Alpha enters."You took your time getting back, Cal
