Finding Courage at the Table

The smell of roasted meat and fresh bread filled the pack house dining hall, mingling with the sounds of laughter and conversation that had always meant home to Lisa. But tonight, standing in the doorway with Luna Rose sleeping peacefully in her carrier, she felt like an outsider looking in on a life that no longer quite fit.

It had been two weeks since her conversation with Matthew in the library, two weeks of slowly rebuilding her confidence and trying to silence the doubts that Jennifer and Cassie's words had planted. This pack dinner—a monthly tradition where everyone gathered for a communal meal—was meant to be her official return to normal pack life. Sarah had suggested it gently, Ethan had encouraged her warmly, and Matthew had given her one of his knowing looks that said he believed she was ready.

Lisa wasn't so sure.

The dining hall buzzed with activity as pack members filled the long wooden tables that had been arranged in a horseshoe shape.

    The Empty Chair The great hall had never felt more oppressive. Lisa sat in a high-backed chair near the front, her injured ankle propped on a cushioned stool, Luna Rose sleeping fitfully in her arms. The baby seemed to sense the tension that filled the room like a living thing, her little face scrunched with unease even in sleep. Every pack member had been summoned for this emergency meeting, their faces reflecting varying degrees of concern, confusion, and anger as they settled into the rows of chairs that Matthew had ordered arranged in a semicircle. Lisa's ankle throbbed with each heartbeat, the swelling having worsened overnight despite the ice and elevation. Dr. Martinez had been grimly satisfied with her examination that morning, confirming torn ligaments that would require at least six weeks of careful healing. But the physical pain was nothing compared to the psychological impact of knowing that someone in this very room had deliberately tried to harm her and Luna Rose. "B

    When Shadows Strike The late afternoon sun filtered through the canopy of oak trees as Lisa made her way along the familiar path that wound through the pack territory. Luna Rose slept peacefully in the baby carrier strapped to Lisa's chest, lulled by the gentle motion of walking and the warm spring air. For the first time in weeks, Lisa felt truly at peace—strong enough for a solo walk, confident enough to venture beyond the immediate pack house grounds, ready to reclaim the independence that had been so important to her before everything changed. The path she'd chosen was one of her favorites, a well-maintained trail that circled through the old growth forest before looping back toward the residential area. She'd walked it countless times during her pregnancy, finding solace in the rhythm of her footsteps and the ancient wisdom of the trees. Today felt like a celebration of how far she'd come—physically strong enough for the mile-long circuit, emotionally stable enough to be alone

    The Weight of Leadership Matthew found Lisa in the pack's small library, curled up in the window seat with Luna Rose sleeping against her chest and a book lying forgotten in her lap. The afternoon sunlight streaming through the glass highlighted the exhaustion in her features, and the way she startled when he cleared his throat told him everything he needed to know about her current state of mind. "Sorry," he said quietly, stepping into the room. "I didn't mean to disturb you." "You're not," Lisa replied, though her voice carried the careful politeness she used when she was trying to hide her struggles. "Just trying to get some reading done while she naps." Matthew glanced at the book—a romance novel that clearly hadn't been touched, its bookmark still marking the same page it had been on when he'd seen her with it three days ago. He settled into the armchair across from her, his senses picking up the waves of anxiety and self-doubt radiating from her despite her attempts to appea

    Behind Walls of Water and Shame The sound of running water had been constant for nearly thirty minutes, and Ethan was beginning to worry. Lisa's showers had never been particularly long, but since the incident at the pack lunch three days ago, she'd been spending more and more time locked away in the bathroom. He'd given her space, understanding that she was processing the cruel words that had been thrown at her, but something about tonight felt different. Luna Rose slept peacefully in her bassinet, finally settled after a particularly fussy evening that had left both parents exhausted. Ethan had been looking forward to a quiet moment with Lisa, maybe holding her while they watched their daughter sleep, but she'd disappeared into the bathroom immediately after putting Luna Rose down. Then he heard it—a soft, broken sob barely audible over the shower spray. His wolf immediately went on alert, every protective instinct screaming at him to go to his mate. But he hesitated at the bat

    Words That Cut Deeper Than Claws The pack lunch had seemed like such a simple step forward. Sarah had suggested it gently—just a casual gathering in the main dining hall, nothing formal or overwhelming. Lisa had been making progress, growing stronger each day, and everyone thought it would be good for her to reconnect with the broader pack community beyond the small circle of family who'd been caring for her. Lisa had dressed carefully that morning, choosing a flowing sundress that accommodated her still-healing body and the changes that lingered from pregnancy and trauma. She'd even managed to style her hair properly for the first time in weeks, feeling almost like herself again as she made her way downstairs with Luna Rose sleeping peacefully in her carrier. The dining hall buzzed with comfortable conversation as pack members gathered around the long wooden tables that had witnessed countless family meals over the years. Lisa felt a flutter of nervousness as heads turned her way
