Jason.

"Haven't met the right person, I guess."

"Fair enough. No point forcing it." She took another bite, chewing thoughtfully. "I'm twenty-one and still waiting. My father keeps hinting that I should be more open to potential matches, but I'm not interested in settling just because it's expected."

"Good for you."

"What about you? Any prospects on the horizon?"

I thought about Ella. About the secondary bond that pulled at me constantly. About how she was with Kyle and would always be with Kyle

    Ella.The alarm system screamed through the mansion. Red lights flashed in every hallway. I jerked awake, disoriented.Kyle was already up, pulling on clothes. His phone pressed to his ear."How many?" he barked into the phone.I couldn't hear Ethan's response, but Kyle's face told me everything. This was it. Derek was here."Wake Maya. Get her to the safe room. Now." Kyle's voice was steel. No room for argument."What's happening?""Derek's at the south border with at least six others. They've already taken down two patrol units."My heart stopped. "Are they...""Alive. Unconscious. But Derek's moving fast. He's heading straight for us."I ran to Maya's room. She was sitting up in bed, clutching her stuffed bear. Tears streaked her face."Mommy, what's that noise?""Just a drill, baby. We need to go somewhere safe.""I'm scared.""I know. But Daddy will protect us."Kyle's mother appeared in the doorway. "Come with me, sweetheart." She held out her hand to Maya. "We're going to play

    Kyle.My wolf surged forward. Protective. Furious. Every instinct screaming to hunt. To eliminate the threat before it reached my family."He's coming here.""That's why I needed to tell you immediately. I wanted to warn you earlier, but I needed confirmation. I needed to be sure."Ella sank back onto the couch. Processing everything. The color had drained from her face completely."He's coming for me because of something that happened before I was born. Something I had no control over. Something my mother did."I knelt in front of her. Took her hands. They were ice cold despite the warm room."He's not getting anywhere near you. I promise.""Kyle, he's dangerous. He almost destroyed your pack once. He knows how you think. How you fight.""And he failed. He'll fail again. We're stronger now. Better prepared."Thomas stood. Paced to the window. "I should have told you sooner. As soon as I found the documents. But I wanted to verify everything first. I thought maybe I was overreacting."

    Kyle.I excused myself from the conversation and stepped away from the crowd. Ella followed, concern crossing her face."Thomas?""Kyle." His voice was tight. "I need to talk to you and Ella. Privately. It's urgent.""What's wrong?""Not over the phone. Can you come home tonight?"I glanced at Ella. She was watching me with worry in her eyes."We're in DC. We can catch the first flight tomorrow morning.""Make it tonight if you can. This is important."The call ended. I turned to Ella."Your father needs to see us. Now.""Is he okay?""He sounded scared."We left the reception immediately. I called the driver while Ella gathered our things from the hotel. The drive to the airport felt endless. Traffic crawled. Red lights seemed to last forever."What do you think happened?" Ella asked."I don't know. But Thomas doesn't scare easily.""Maybe something with Jane? The baby?""He would have said that over the phone."We caught a late flight home. The plane was nearly empty. Just us and a

    Kyle.Kieran woke up next. The twins were identical, right down to the worry in their eyes."Is she okay?" Kieran asked immediately."I'm fine," Rachel said softly."You are all going to be fine," I added. "But you need to stop fighting the bond.""The elders say it's wrong," Kieran said. "That nature doesn't work this way.""Nature created the bond. That makes it natural, no matter what the elders think."Over the next few days, I worked intensively with all three of them. Teaching them meditation techniques Ella and I had developed. Showing them how to channel bond energy instead of resisting it. Helping them understand that their situation wasn't a curse but a gift.We practiced breathing exercises. Visualization techniques. Ways to synchronize their energies instead of fighting them.Rachel struggled at first. "It feels wrong. Like I'm betraying one of them by loving the other.""You're not betraying anyone. The bond connects all three of you equally.""But society says...""Socie

    Kyle.My phone rang at two in the morning.I jerked awake, reaching for it before the second ring could wake Ella or Maya. The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number with an area code I didn't recognize."Hello?""Alpha Kyle Torres?" A male voice, rough with exhaustion."Speaking.""My name is Alpha Caleb Wilder from the Cascade Pack in Oregon. I apologize for the late hour, but we have an emergency situation. We need your help."I sat up slowly, careful not to disturb Ella. She stirred slightly but didn't wake. "What kind of emergency?""We have a young she-wolf experiencing a triad bond. She's eighteen years old, and the bond is killing all three of them. We heard about your experience with Luna Ella and Alpha Jason. Your expertise could save three lives."The words hit me like a punch. A triad bond. Someone else going through what we'd survived."How long has this been happening?""Three weeks. The deterioration is accelerating. We've tried everything we know, but nothing's working.

    Ella.The ceremony ended with more cheers and celebration. Guests threw flower petals as Marcus and Elena walked back down the aisle together, officially married at last. Their faces glowed with joy.The reception started immediately. Pack members had transformed the adjacent area into a celebration space. Tables loaded with food appeared. Music played from speakers hidden among the decorations. Dancing began almost instantly.Maya found Marcus and Elena quickly, tugging on their joined hands. "Can I dance with you? Both of you?""Of course, sweet girl," Marcus said, lifting her up.They moved to the dance floor, all three of them. Maya stood between her grandparents, holding both their hands as they swayed to the music. Her laughter rang out, pure and joyful.Kyle appeared at my side, offering his hand. "Dance with me?""Always."We joined the others on the makeshift dance floor. Kyle pulled me close, one hand at my waist, the other holding mine. The familiar warmth of his body press

    Ella.The bond exploded.One second I was lying in bed, too weak to lift my head. The next, every nerve in my body was on fire with awareness.Kyle.He was close. Getting closer. Moving fast.I sat up so quickly my vision swam. The bond that had been a dull, aching throb for ten days suddenly blaze

    Ella.The bathroom scale showed a number I hadn't seen since freshman year.I stared at it. Blinked. Stepped off and back on. Same number. Ten pounds lighter than seven days ago."Ella?" Dad knocked on the bathroom door. "You've been in there for twenty minutes."I opened the door. His face went pa

    Kyle.The vomit was black.I stared at it in the toilet bowl, wondering distantly if that was normal. Probably not. Nothing about this was normal.Day ten. Three days since I'd kept food down. Two days since I'd tried eating at all. The suppressants had stopped working completely. My wolf was a con

    Kyle.My phone buzzed at midnight."Meet me outside. Now."Ella.I stared at the message. Something in my chest twisted tight. The bond hummed with her fear. Her determination. Whatever she wanted to say couldn't wait until morning.I pulled on a hoodie and climbed out my window. Dropped silently i
