“Mommy, why do we keep moving from house to house?” Jace’s voice was a needle prick to my already frayed nerves.

“Mommy, I liked our old pack better,” Jermaine added. “I don’t want to change schools again!”

“Mommy this… Mommy that…”

The questions and unhappiness in their voices came in waves, threatening to pull me under. I forced a smile as I handed them bowls of mac and cheese, the only comfort food I had the energy to make. We sat around the kitchen table in my father’s house.

“Mommy, I don’t like it here,” Jace grumbled, pushing his food around with his fork. “You never let me go outside to play football. And this house is so boring. There’s nothing to do!”

“I miss Eve,” Jermaine said quietly, fiddling with his spoon.

My sons couldn’t stop the barrage of questions, and honestly, I didn’t blame them. These past few weeks had been pure chaos. And now we were back here, in my father’s house, a place that felt locked away from the world.

    Savannah“Savannah? Are you alright?” My mother’s voice came calmly over the line.My patience, already worn thin by days of confinement and constant high-alert, snapped.“Alright? How can I be alright?” I retorted, my voice rising. “The boys are caged in this house. I’m losing my mind with worry. How long are we supposed to live like this, Mom? There’s a military curfew out there because of me, and I’m so tired of hiding.”Her response offered no comfort, only her usual instinct to maintain control, this time by painting a terrifying picture of the alternative.“Listen to me, Savannah. You cannot afford to be impatient. You have no idea what my father, Alpha Henry, is capable of. He won’t just take you. He’ll take the boys. He’ll find a way to kill your father. Trust me, if he sees you as a threat to Sasha, he can and will destroy your future.”I looked at my dad, who gave a weary nod. He knew it was true.“How can he do that when I’m also his granddaughter?” I asked, trying to sound

    SavannahMy world had shrunk to the four walls of my father's house. A self-imposed prison.For three days, my boys and I lived inside a house of secrets. Not even the neighbors knew we were here.I knew something was coming. A certainty settled in my bones. And as much as my heart ached for Xavier, as much as I missed him with every fiber of my being, I dreaded seeing him again. I couldn't bear it if he wanted to punish me, to crush what little spirit I had left.So, I retreated. I went quiet for long stretches of time. I slept a lot, my body feeling disconnected, lacking its usual energy. Thankfully, the refurbished cable TV my dad had fixed distracted my boys. They watched more cartoons than I would normally allow, but what could I do? I couldn't even bring myself to smile, let alone play with them.Today, the rain beat down without pause. It felt as if the world conspired against us. The cooking gas sputtered and died. For some strange reason, my dad said, the local retailers wer

    XavierI'd become a shadow of myself.A heaviness and constant ache settled in my chest. Time blurred into a bleak landscape of numbness. I didn’t care about pack business, about the wealth I’d amassed, about anything.I felt my mind shutting down, even as I forced myself into a mask of command for others. I threw myself into tasks, anything to keep my mind off the wreckage of my life, assuring the elders that I was fine while, deep down, I was crumbling.My new Regional Alpha status, which should have been a source of strength and pride, now felt like a cage. I hated it. The whispers followed me everywhere. People had witnessed the scandal. They were probably gossiping behind my back, pitying me, mocking my foolishness. The power and respect I received from everyone in my orbit all felt hollow now, turned to ash in my mouth.My despair curdled into rage. The fury couldn't be contained; it was always there, a beast under my skin.I lashed out at the slightest provocation. I woke befor

    Savannah Ethan wiggled his eyebrows at me then, a hopeful, almost boyish expression on his face. I turned away, letting out a strangled sound. I couldn’t hold it in any longer. A sharp pain, like a stitch, jabbed me in the ribs, and then I burst into uncontrollable laughter. It was so hard it became almost soundless, just my shoulders shaking. When I finally looked back at him, at the frown creasing his forehead, the sheer absurdity of it all made me laugh even more. My eyes went teary. I actually had to excuse myself to go pee, I was laughing so hard. I returned, still chuckling, and finally managed to confine my mirth to a snorting giggle.“Are you high, Ethan?” I finally managed, wiping a tear from the corner of my eye. “Or did your darling wife Claire slip you something? What on earth makes you think I would be remotely interested in you after everything?”“Come on, Savannah, don’t be like that,” he said, his hopeful expression faltering. “I want the best for you. You and I were

    SavannahMy body and mind thrummed with an unbearable restlessness. Sleep was distant. I couldn’t reach it. I kept turning, tossing on the bed, the shadows in the room feeling like they were closing in on me. I finally threw off the blanket and got out of bed, my bare feet cold on the floor. I began pacing like a caged animal in the dark, not understanding why this dread clung to me tonight. It was so intense, the hairs on the back of my neck prickled. I felt powerless and small. I pressed a hand against the door, standing there in the darkness, listening to the frantic beat of my own heart.My ribs squeezed tight. My wolf, restless inside me, longed for her mate. It was a dull pain and grief at being separated from Xavier. I missed him.God, I missed him so much. My eyes stung with unshed tears, and a sinking sensation pulled at my stomach. How was all of this going to end? Would he ever believe me? Believe that my stumbling waltz into Sasha’s life, into his life, was just a te

    Xavier Sasha’s eyes bulged open, so wide they looked like they were going to pop right out of her head. “What?!” she screamed, her voice cracking. “Mom! Mom, did you hear what he just said?”“Stop right there, Xavier!” Alpha Henry commanded, stepping forward as I turned to leave. I ignored him. “Xavier! I am talking to you!”I stopped but didn’t turn around.“As crazy as all this sounds,” he continued, his voice tight with controlled fury, “the fact remains that this other twin impersonated Sasha. That is a crime, boy! A serious offense! It will not look good in public, not for you, not for our family, not for this pack! So, before you make any rash decisions, you better think long and hard!”My heart was banging against my ribs like a trapped bird, fueled by so much unleashed anger. I spun sharply on my heel and faced Sophia. “You claim you didn’t know about any of this until recently? Yet you conveniently hid the other twin and brought back Sasha. Where the hell is she, Sophia?
