I stared at the screen, my pulse thrumming. That last message from Ethan was like a physical snarl. He was clearly sleep-deprived and itching for a fight.

I forced my racing heart to settle and typed out a patient response. [It’s nearly six. Put the tablet down and sleep! I’m heading back to bed for an hour too.]

I dropped the phone on the furs and lay back. Ethan didn't fire back. I suppose I won that round. In the pack hierarchy of a broken bond, the one who initiates the contact is usually t

    “Provided your system maintains its happiness parameters, Mommy.” Hayden’s brow ridges tightened as he deployed vocabulary that bypassed his chronological age. “When Robert, Layla, and my own frame achieve full deployment status, our units will lack the capacity to occupy this volume of your time.”“My radar refrains from tracking that deep into the grid, because the future parameters remain volatile,” Collins stated, securing Hayden’s palm. “Let our systems appreciate the immediate coordinates before us.”The moment the specialist committed the visual captures of Collins and Ethan to the public network, the data experienced an immediate, exponential cascade across the territorial lines.The viral trajectory was driven by their elite physical architecture and their respective power indices.One commanded the supreme asset ledger in Mysticfall, while the other operated as a dominant force in the Skydrivee sector and a highly decorated neurological specialist.The visual data rapidly bre

    “My bank lines are committed to an expansion ledger,” Job voiced, matching my cadence as we paced toward the locker bays. “I secured a localized financing plan. The payments hit my sheet at every turn of the moon.”“Ha! I recognized his asset sheet lacked true tier-one depth!”“His intention was to absorb the entire liability for my station, Mother. My own directives forced the execution of the monthly line. His capital extinguished ninety-nine percent of the building ledger, leaving my unit with a minor obligation of one hundred and fifty thousand credits. My sheet clears fifteen hundred credits every moon cycle for the territorial ice assessments.”“Does your alignment with his vanguard depend entirely on his credit reserve, Job?” Tanya adjusted her tone, initiating a direct mind-meld with her offspring. “My guidance has always stated your station requires only enough substance to sustain operations. There is zero logical purpose to executing maneuvers that violate your code simply

    “My sanity remains intact, Tyler.”Chloe stared into Tyler’s face, her tone eerily measured. “My tactical calculation indicates Ethan is experiencing a high-level euphoria with Collins at this exact marker. Refrain from transmitting this data to their frequency and disrupting their velocity. I will permit them to navigate their paradise for a few more rotations!”“Oh, your system is stable. I am the one experiencing a data error, or perhaps Ethan’s regulators have completely failed!”“Your emotional output would not reach this magnitude if my facial tissue remained uncompromised, correct? Your previous evaluations stated I was uniquely qualified for the highest tier of alpha males. Your own words positioned Ethan and my vanguard as an elite match.” Chloe let out a dry, hollow laugh. “Now that my structures are ruined, your system codes me as unworthy.”“Do you truly believe your aesthetic shell is the determining factor, Chloe? If Collins were the one who suffered a structural collaps

    “Are we bringing the pups?”Ethan looked down at me, his gaze questioning. I stared back, trying to decrypt the shifting currents behind his eyes. “Do you possess a genuine desire to bring them along?” I asked.“I do.” His voice carried a weight of sincerity. Despite the logistical nightmare of wrangling two young wolves during a patrol, the pull of the pack was undeniable. “They are a taxing burden, yet the joy they provide is absolute.”“My decision is against it for this cycle. I have a specific coordinate in mind for us.”He tucked his hands into his heavy winter parka. “What is the destination?”“We must inform the pups. If their desire to remain is strong, we accommodate them, but if they wish to accompany us, we adapt.”“We will navigate to the academy grounds. Wait for my signal at the perimeter; I will transmit the message to the pups,” I said, pivoting toward the living quarters. Moments later, I returned, hooking my arm into his. “Layla issued a request for rare, high-prote

    “Papa! Elevate me to your shoulders! Observe the male scout in our vanguard—he has the pup perched on his own shoulders! I demand you elevate me to that same position!” Layla gestured toward the pair navigating the path before us, her voice vibrating with intense envy.Ethan bypassed any analytical deliberation, his massive hands gripping Layla’s waist to hoist her atop his shoulders.Layla erupted in a shriek of pure adrenaline. “Daddy! My height is superior! I have eclipsed her level! Ha! Will your sled transport our unit back to the rinks for another expedition in the next rotation?”“An absolute certainty.” Ethan’s expression softened into a rare, genuine light, his jaw relaxing as he affirmed the scout’s request.I observed the internal exchange from the periphery. A warm, unfamiliar pressure expanded in my chest; my palm moved to my tunic, extracting the recording device to secure the image of the moment. The instant the shutter clicked, a brilliant cascade of pyrotechnics ignit

    “The ice-pup looks about two winters old, completely silent, just watching the screen,” I said, shifting my grip on the communicator.“My bloodline elder units are expanding their demands beyond a standard mating alliance now,” Job replied from the glowing interface, his voice competing with the low hum of the arena heaters in the background. “They are ordering me to produce an heir line immediately. Look at this tiny scout. She belongs to my direct cousin. Her biological formation is quite optimal, isn’t it?”“You should instruct your creators to manufacture another unit for their own den then,” I cracked, leaning back against the timber locker. “Regardless of their frantic administrative demands, your loyalty belongs exclusively to my vanguard.”“Have your senses completely frozen over on the northern rinks? If my tongue dares to deliver an evaluation like that to my sire, his battle-axe will sever my lower runners before the next moon,” Job snapped, his vocal chords vibrating with

    Maybe the collective anticipation of the room was simply too potent, because as the pack had feared, the atmosphere fractured.'Ding!'The alarm on the pulse tracker strapped to Ethan’s wrist shrieked. His heart rate had vaulted from eighty to a sharp hundred and twenty in seconds.Ethan Carter, th

    “Slow down, or your stomach will turn again.”McQueen Happiness sat on the leather lounger across from me, his eyes tracking every movement. “Do you know what Jun did today? He was convinced you were going to drop dead because you skipped the team lunch, so he actually called an ambulance. It’s idl

    Once the line connected, I didn't waste time. I briefed the pack doctor on Isabella’s sudden lucidity and asked point-blank, "Is it possible for her mind to stitch itself back together without another round of surgery?"On the other end, the physician hesitated. "It’s a remarkable sign, Ethan, but

    We had a hearty meat stew for lunch.It had been two days since I could even look at meat without my stomach turning, so the craving hit me hard. I barely waited for the others to start before digging in."Collins, you usually avoid the heavy spices, don't you?" Tammy looked at me, eyes wide, as I
