Gwen’s POV

They had been at it since late afternoon and the sunroom had transformed over the hours into something that looked like a war room. There were laptops open and mood boards spread across the table with empty cups pushed to the edges to make space for whatever needed space next.

My team worked the way they always had which was with a focused and slightly chaotic energy that looked disorganized from the outside and produced exceptional results anyway.

There were laptops open and mood boards spread across the table with empty cups pushed to the edges to make space for whatever needed space next.

    Gwen’s pov The Infinity Hall was exactly what the name promised which was wide and high-ceilinged and full of the kind of light that made everything inside it look more important than it probably was.I had driven here with the focus of someone who had already spent too much of the morning inside her own head and needed her hands on something real and manageable before the day got away from her entirely.I left Josie with Xavier and Greta because I told myself it was fine and I truly believed it was.Josie was safe and happy, she was probably already demanding Xavier's full attention in the way she had perfected.I thought of them as I walked into the hall and let the work take over.My old team picked up on the second ring."I need help," my voice was demanding when Dare answered and there was a pause before she laughed."we were wondering when you'd call" she muttered and something I hadn’t realized was tight in my chest loosened.We had worked together for three years before Cole

    Gwen:My body remembered before my mind did.I had that deep settled ache that started in my shoulders and ran all the way down. The kind that wasn't unpleasant exactly but was impossible to ignore.It pulled me into consciousness before I was ready for it and for a few seconds I just lay there with my eyes closed feeling my existence without attaching meaning to it.Then I opened my eyes and saw the ceiling and the ceiling was wrong because it was not my ceiling.I sat up slowly and the sheets pooled at my waist and the room arranged itself around me in the early morning light.It was all dark furniture and high ceilings and the particular quality of silence that belonged to a space that was larger than it needed to be.Everything from the night before came back in pieces, not all at once but in the way memories returned when your body had already processed them and was simply waiting for your mind to catch up.I pressed the heel of my hand against my forehead.I had slept here for t

    Xavier:When I stepped into my room, the first thing I noticed was the light, how dim it was.The smell in the room was incredibly pleasant. My wolf grabbed onto that faint whiff of aroma that belonged to her and his low growl echoed in my mind.I guess I wasn’t the only one impressed by what I saw.Soft music played in the background, warm and inviting. The entire way home, I had thought of her, and this scene right now, told me that she had not only taken on my challenge, she had pushed it even further.I closed the door slowly, then leaned against it, soaking in the view before me. “You’re late.”It came from the shadows, filled with partial chiding.She came out of the shadows, and my breath hitched in my throat.Gwen was the most gorgeous woman I had ever set my eyes on. She looked so soft, like a blooming rose that was spreading out its petals. Her hair was loose, and flowed down her back in tresses. Her lips looked even redder than I recalled but the color wasn’t too sharp.

    Gwen’s pov I woke up later than I usually did, stirring in bed for a long minute before finally sitting up.The bed beside me was empty, of course it was.Xavier would never wallow in bed for so long.After freshening up, I headed downstairs, still feeling the weight of exhaustion in my bones.It was the kind that sleep couldn’t fix and I kept stretching as I walked down the stairs.Greta sighted me the minute I reached the bottom step. She walked closer, smiling at me.“Good morning Ma’am. Breakfast's set up in the dining room for you.”“Good morning, Greta,” I smiled back at her. “Thank you.”“Did Josie have breakfast?” I enquired.“Yes ma’am,” she nodded in confirmation. “I made sure she was ready on time and Sir Xavier offered to drop her off at school.”“He did?” I raised a brow.“Yes ma’am.”That was news to me. It was pleasant, yet confusing.My mind drifted to a moment in time, struggling to process why Cole had always made it seem like a difficult chore to do.He never took
