Caden carried me like I weighed nothing, his arms strong and certain, his eyes never leaving mine. The hallway blurred. The house, the voices, the air—none of it mattered. It was just us now. Only us.

He kicked the door shut behind us and set me down in the center of the room like I was precious, sacred. His hands framed my face, and for a moment, we didn’t move. Just breathed. Stared. Loved.

“I can’t believe how much I feel,” I whispered.

“I can’t believe I ever lived without it,” he said.

Our mouths collided, not in hunger—but in awe. Reverent. His lips were soft and warm, but the moment his tongue brushed mine, that Ailm electricity flared. My knees buckled from the jolt of it, like I’d been struck by lightning and reborn from the inside out. We moaned into each other’s mouths, clinging like we might fall through the earth if we let go.

The tattoo on my arm pulsed as if alive, and every time his skin grazed mine, it lit me up like wildfire. My fingers trembled

  • Crowned in Fire, Baptized in Blood   41

    The car rolls to a slow stop outside the entrance to Mark’s pack square. It’s bright out, too bright, and loud with the high-pitched chaos of a kids’ party in full swing. Balloons bounce in the summer breeze. Music thumps from a speaker someone clearly thinks is a good idea. Kids are running in every direction like sugar-fueled lunatics, screaming and laughing.But all I can do is sit here, sweaty and hollow and aching in a way I can’t even explain.Caden’s thigh is pressed against mine, his arm draped behind me like it’s casual. It’s not. He’s been watching me like a hawk since we left the shop—tense, unreadable—but I’m too uncomfortable to fully care. My head’s foggy, my stomach’s rolling, and my clothes feel like they’re glued to my skin. Everything’s wrong and tight and hot.“Okay, we’ll just walk Granny to the door, then head out,” Mum says from the front, cheerful like it’s any other Sunday. She turns to look at us. “You alright back there, baby?”I nod, but it

    The room was quiet, sunlight pouring through the windows in warm sheets, but I was anything but calm. My skin tingled from the ghost of Caden’s touch, and every time he moved, even slightly, my eyes followed—addicted.We stood across from each other, slowly getting dressed after breakfast. Well… trying to.I pulled my shirt over my head, and for a single, awful moment, I couldn’t feel his skin on mine. I blinked, breath hitching like something had snagged inside my chest. My heart kicked up a beat. Then two.Caden tugged a clean T-shirt over his bare chest, the muscles along his abdomen flexing as he moved. My mouth went dry. My hands itched to touch him.I swallowed hard, looking away. It’s just the bond, I told myself. It’s just the space between us.But it wasn’t just space. It was fire.“Are you okay?” he asked softly, glancing up from buttoning his jeans.I nodded quickly, even though my entire body felt like it was vibrating. “Yeah. Just… missing yo

    We lie tangled for what feels like hours, though I know it’s only minutes. My head rests on his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart—the sound that keeps my own from falling apart.Caden’s fingers trace gentle patterns up and down my spine, and each brush feels like a whisper from the universe reminding me you’re safe now. You’re together.“I think we should get up,” I whisper, though I don’t move.His arms tighten.“Why?” he murmurs into my hair. “We’re already where we’re supposed to be.”“I know,” I say, my voice barely audible. “But Mum’s going to come up soon if I don’t show my face.”He groans, the sound vibrating through me. “If she walks in, I’m locking the door and pretending I can’t hear her.”I laugh against his skin, but I know we have to. Eventually.Still, pulling away from him feels like peeling off a second skin.When I finally sit up, the ache hits me like a punch to the ribs. It’s not physical. Not really. But it’s de

    Cadens POV The moment I pull the bedroom door shut behind me, I feel her absence like a physical wound. It’s not just missing her. It’s like something’s been cut. A silence where her heartbeat should be. A coldness where her warmth used to hum against my skin. I rub the back of my neck and force myself down the hallway. She’s okay. She’s just sleeping. But fuck… every step I take away from her feels wrong. Like my chest is caving in. The bond between us—this new version of it—it’s relentless. Not clingy, not codependent… divine. Cosmic. Like we were created in halves and finally sewn back together, and now even a few feet apart feels like unraveling. I round the corner into the kitchen and find Dad standing by the stove, flipping pancakes like it’s a normal damn morning. He looks up and freezes for a second. His eyes narrow, then soften. “Fuck,” he mutters. “You look like you’ve been hit by a freight tra

    By the time we finish sorting the twins' things and putting everything away, I’m more than ready to pass out.But, of course, Caden has other plans—plans that involve his mouth and my neck and absolutely no regard for my exhaustion.I melt into his kisses, already halfway in his lap when Dad’s voice booms down the hallway.“They’re here! Try and look like you haven’t just been devouring each other!”Caden groans dramatically, his lips still brushing mine. “I swear dad has a sixth sense for cockblocking.”I swat his chest, laughing as I stand and straighten my shirt. “Come on, Romeo. Time to meet the extended chaos.”We head into the front room, where the energy instantly shifts. Our grandparents are already inside, arms open and warm smiles spread across their faces. Uncle Mark and Elle follow, hand in hand, looking more relaxed than I’ve ever seen them. Behind them come their kids, already chasing each other through the house like they were born here.“H
