Cecelia's POV

I realized I'd stopped breathing while my lungs burned for air. I gasped while trying to fill them but the images kept coming. Golden being lifted while someone carried him through a doorway. More metal walls while I could hear water sounds outside like waves crashing.

"What's happening to her?" Marcus asked while sounding worried.

"The bond," Zeke said while his voice was tight. "She's connecting to Golden through the maternal bond."

"That's not possible," Marcus said. "Maternal bonds don't work that way."

"They do under extreme stress," Zeke replied while keeping his eyes on my face. "When a mother's fear for her child is strong enough the bond can create a link even across distance."

The images got stronger while I saw more details now. The warehouse had high ceilings with exposed beams while metal shipping containers were stacked against one wall. Golden was still crying while the blue light under his skin pulsed brighter. Someone said something I couldn't hear while

    CECELIA'S POVWe sat in comfortable silence while I processed everything. A real mating ceremony, becoming Luna officially, raising Golden together as a family. Three months ago this would have seemed impossible while now it felt inevitable like this was always where we were meant to end up."I want more children," I said suddenly while the thought had been building for a while. "Not right away but someday. Golden should have siblings."Zeke's arm tightened around me while through the bond I felt his immediate agreement. "How many are we talking?""Two or three more maybe?" I suggested while tilting my head to look at him. "Enough that Golden isn't lonely but not so many that we're completely overwhelmed.""I like that," Zeke said while his hand moved to rest on my stomach like he could already picture me pregnant. "Golden would be a good big brother.""He would," I agreed while imagining our son helping with a baby. "Though we should probably wait until his wolf emergence situation i

    Cecelia's POVGolden had been asleep for an hour while Zeke knocked softly on our bedroom door. I'd been reading in the chair beside Golden's small bed watching him breathe peacefully when Zeke poked his head in."Come with me," he whispered while gesturing toward the hallway. "I have something planned."I stood carefully while not wanting to wake Golden. He'd had a good day today, his color was better while the blue light under his skin had barely flickered at all. The doctor said the Alpha essence treatments were working while Golden's body was stabilizing.Zeke took my hand while leading me through our quarters to the private balcony I hadn't used much since moving back in. When he opened the door my breath caught because the space had been transformed.Candles covered every surface while their warm glow made everything look soft. A small table was set with real plates and silverware while covered dishes sat waiting. A bottle of wine was already open while two glasses sat beside it

    Cecelia's POVThe hospital corridor felt too bright while I pushed Golden's wheelchair toward the visitor room where Layla waited to say goodbye to Cameron. Golden sat quietly wrapped in a blanket while his small hands gripped the armrests. He was finally strong enough to be out of bed for short periods which the doctor said was good progress."Why are we going to see her?" Golden asked while looking up at me with those big eyes that reminded me so much of Zeke."Because she needs to say goodbye to her son," I explained while keeping my voice gentle. "And Daddy thought it might help you understand what happened if you see that even bad people have families they care about."Zeke walked beside us while his hand rested on my shoulder. I could feel his tension through the bond while he wasn't happy about this visit either but had agreed it was necessary for Cameron's sake.We entered the room while Layla sat in a chair with two guards standing nearby. She looked smaller than I remembered

    We reached the main level while I headed for my vehicle. The drive back to the hospital gave me time to process everything Layla had confessed. The depths of her delusion and manipulation were staggering while I couldn't believe I'd missed the signs for so long.But dwelling on that wouldn't help anyone while I needed to focus on the future with Cecelia and Golden instead of the past Layla had poisoned.The next morning I stood before the pack council while Layla was brought in wearing restraints. She looked smaller somehow while all her defiance from yesterday was gone. The council members watched her with expressions ranging from disgust to disappointment while many had known her for years."Layla Winters, you stand accused of conspiracy to kidnap, child endangerment, and treason against the Alpha's family," the head councilman read from the formal charges. "How do you plead?""Guilty," Layla said quietly while not looking at anyone.Murmurs went through the council while they'd exp

    Zeke's POVGolden had been stable for twenty four hours while the doctor said Cecelia could maintain contact with him for short periods now. Her touch wouldn't suppress the wolf emergence like mine did but it would keep Golden calm and comfortable while I handled pack business that couldn't wait any longer."Are you sure about this?" Cecelia asked while looking nervous about being left alone with Golden even though the doctor and nurses were right outside."You'll be fine," I assured her while leaning down to kiss her forehead. "Just keep your hand on his chest like I've been doing. If anything changes the monitors will alert the medical staff immediately.""How long will you be gone?" she asked while her hand replaced mine on Golden's small chest."A few hours at most," I said while hating to leave them but knowing this couldn't be put off. "I need to handle Layla's interrogation personally."Cecelia's expression hardened while anger flashed in her eyes at Layla's name. "Make her suf

    CECELIA'S POVI didn't argue while knowing he wouldn't change his mind anyway. Instead I just stayed close while taking turns with Zeke sleeping in short bursts. When I was awake I watched them both while my heart felt too full and too broken at the same time.During one of my shifts staying awake, I looked at Zeke asleep in his chair with his hand still pressed to Golden's chest. His large hand completely covered Golden's small torso while the size difference was almost funny. But seeing them connected like that while father and son bound together, made something settle in my chest that had been restless for three years.I never stopped loving him while I realized with sudden clarity. I'd been angry and hurt and determined to move on but under all that I still loved Zeke with the same intensity I had during our marriage. Maybe even more now while seeing him with Golden showed me the man he could be when he let his walls down.The thought scared me while I didn't know if I was ready t
