JAXON

I'd been slipping for three days. It was the first time I'd slipped for that long.

And when I'd regained consciousness, the fever had struck me hard. Dante and his twin must've been scared shirtless. They'd asked Erin to take care of me.

She was the one my father had wanted me to marry when I'd been in his pack. I'd tried to dissolve our engagement, but Erin wasn't going to have it. She claimed that she would kill herself if I ever went after another woman. Therefore, when she'd learnt that I'd met my fated mate, she'd grown irritable, desperate to rip us apart.

I should've seen this coming.

When she'd suddenly visited my office earlier that morning, claiming that she was worried that I was still not strong enough to return to the academy, she'd been acting strange.

It turns out that she'd been waiting for this moment.

I stared at Clarissa, a lump forming in my throat. I could see the unmistakable pain and anger in her eyes. She probably believed I'd played her for a foo

    CLARISSA Morning came like a thief after a sleepless night. I hadn't really slept, not with Callum's voice still echoing in my head. I had just breastfed my baby, and he was now sleeping in his grandma’s arms. So I headed out of the room in search of Jaxon."I'm trapped in here, Evie. Please save me."Even now, the words made my skin prickle.Evie.No one had called me that in years. Not since I was a girl with scraped knees and a wild laugh. I shook the thought away and walked down the hallway. Zion's room was just up ahead.The sound hit me first...the sound of his ragged breathing.My pulse spiked.I turned, my heart leaping into my throat, and found him doubled over by the wall, one hand gripping the edge of a dresser for balance. His chest rose and fell heavily like he was trying to ride out his pain. Only one sleeve of his shirt was on, the other was hanging off his sculpted frame. His muscles were straining, sweat sliding down his temple.Jaxon's shirt.I recognized the fabr

    CLARISSA I jolted awake in bed with a start. I was so certain I’d just heard a deafening crash but the house was too quiet.I sat up, my heart pounding so loud it drowned out everything else. For a second, I couldn't breathe. The room was dark, washed in silver moonlight, but it was empty.Jaxon wasn't beside me.Panic gripped me.I reached out, my hand brushing the cold sheets where his warmth should've been. My stomach twisted. Something felt... off.I hurried across the room in quick strides. Zion was still in his cot, sleeping peacefully, his tiny fists curled under his chin.But the instinct in me that had surged to life the first time I’d heard his cry roared louder now.I slipped on my robe, lifting Zion gently into my arms. He stirred, letting out a soft sound. Then he settled on my chest.I pressed a kiss to his head and moved towards the door, my heartbeat echoing in my ears.As I stepped into the hallway, I heard Jaxon’s voice. He sounded concerned.I moved faster, h

    Warning +18JAXON I couldn't answer because she was right.Clarissa's lips brushed my neck. "You should know by now, Jaxon... You're the only one I'd touch like this."Her hand began to move with maddening precision, alternating her rhythm. She was tearing my control apart one breath at a time.I groaned, my head tipping back against the shower wall, water cascading down my chest. "Clarissa..."But she was already sinking to her knees in front of me, her hands gliding down my thighs, anchoring herself there. Her lips parted, her warm breath brushing my skin. Then she took me into her mouth.My fingers immediately tangled in her wet hair, a shudder running through me."Fuck... Clarissa—" I moaned, pleasure coating my insides.Every flick of her tongue pulled a deeper sound from my throat, the kind of sound I'd never let anyone else hear. The kind only she could wring from me.My release hit me like a wave. It was all-consuming and blinding. My fingers clenched in her hair as I let

    JAXON "Hey, old man."The words were casual. I didn't think I would ever hear those words at my age. Therefore, they hit me like a goddamn truck.I didn't move.My bloodied fist curled tighter as the world slowed down to a crawl. The copper tang of blood filled my lungs. It wasn't from my kill. Neither was it from the fight I'd barely survived. No, this was different.It was coming from the man bleeding on the floor looking exactly like...No. No, it wasn't possible.I stepped forward slowly, my boots thudding against the marble floor. The others were frozen, their eyes darting between him and me like they were waiting for something to explode."Who the hell are you?" I demanded.The smirking bastard looked up at me with those eyes...those same damn eyes as the infant I'd cradled just days ago...glinting with something that didn't belong in a dying man."Still venomous," he rasped. "Good to know how long you've been like that."I didn't blink or let my shock show. Not yet.But s

    DORIAN I'd always been the level-headed one. The twin who waited before striking. The one who rarely ever lost control of any situation. But right now? There was a raging storm in my chest.Dante glanced at me. "Are you sure about this?"I said nothing because I was nervous. Hell, I’d never felt this nervous before. And it was freaking me out.We stopped at the front door of her apartment, and I hesitated. But Dante didn't. He knocked on the door right away.Zoey opened it with a lazy smirk, one sleeve of her robe slipping off her shoulder, her rose-blonde hair still damp from a shower. "Took you two long enough," she said in a teasing tone. "If this is round two, I'll need food first."Dante chuckled. It was forced.I couldn't bring myself to smile.She froze when she looked at us, her teasing expression fading when she finally read the room. Her eyes flicked between us, her brows creasing up."What's wrong?" she asked, concerned now.Dante looked at me, then he spoke. “We need

    CLARISSA He was so small. So impossibly small. He was just two days old and was already the center of my entire universe. His tiny body rested against my chest, wrapped in a soft blanket Elara had laid out earlier.We'd just finished his bath, and now his hair stuck up in soft, damp wisps. The room smelled like lavender and honeyed soap, but all I could focus on was the baby in my arms. My son.Elara tucked the towels into a basket. "He didn't fuss much this time," she said with a faint smile."He's getting used to it," I murmured, brushing my knuckle against his cheek. "Or maybe he knows he's safe."Elara turned to look at me, her gaze tender. "He does. You're doing beautifully, Clarissa."That meant more than I could say.She gathered the rest of the supplies, careful not to disturb the quiet. "I'll give you a moment alone. Call me if you need anything."I nodded, watching her go. And then it was just me and him again.Two days.That's all it had been.But every second sinc
