Mag-log inI see my knees push up, and he positions himself between my legs again. The realisation of what is about to happen makes terror explode in my veins. I don’t know where I get it from, but feeling returns in my body. My leg jolts with a force, and I dive my knee into his chest. He staggers enough for
⚠️Trigger warning: SA. Feel free to skip this chapter and start with the next one. AELIANA Petra got to me. I can’t get her out of my head. Something about her being right has my heart pounding. By the time we got back to my room, I was on the verge of tears. I couldn’t go another day without kn
Petra doesn’t flinch, she simply blinks and smiles again. “Sure you are, there’s a baby right….” She points at my stomach over the table. “There.” “No, I shake my head, pulling my tank top down some more. My idiot of a mate packed one of my old ones, it's a super-tight fit. “Is it a secret?” She f

NOAH “Reject me,” I finally say, my head starting to work again. Rowan’s eyes widen, “What?” He pauses. “I said reject me, Rowan,” I repeat. The last few minutes have been hell. He keeps talking, trying to convince me this bond is normal, that it could work, but I’m done. He made his choice, she
“I’m not signing the papers,” I say, my voice quiet. “There are no papers, I signed an agreement not to interfere or derail your healing.” She pauses, her eyes searching mine for even the slightest bit of doubt, but there’s none. I did infact sign the binding documents because I didn’t trust myself
Nurse Evelyn returns a few moments later, carrying what seems to be children’s colouring pages with crayons, I’m guessing one for her and the other for Aeliana. Her interest in learning what my mate likes gives me some hope. I know nobody can take care of her as well as I can, but it’s they’ll try.
KINGSTON My heart is in my throat when I arrive at the mental institution. It looks just like it did in the brochure, and the atmosphere seems okay. There are several cars parked in the visitors' parking lot. I walk up to the reception, spotting a familiar face, one of the three who came with the
