Let Me Go, Ex Husband Chapter 36
Aiden's POVI see the darkness in Haylee's eyes deepen when she hangs up from Xavier. Her hands are shaking a little, but she looks determined, that stubborn set to her jaw that I’ve always admired — even when that stubbornness was against me.“He’s lying,” I say, and my voice is so sure that it even surprises me. "The timing is too perfect."Haylee glances up, her eyes more piercing. "What do you mean?""Think about it. Lior suddenly has new complaints. An enigmatic medic sneaks up behind you. Then followed a handy raid on the frontier demanding an immediate return of you? I move in closer, wary not to press her. “It’s manipulation, pure and simple.”“You don’t know Xavier,” she replies, but she still sounds unsure."I know men who crave power." My mind flits to my own father, his cutthroat climb to Alpha. “And I know what they are capable of when they feel threatened.”Conflict fills every step as Haylee paces back and forth in the cramped living room. “But why would he be spooked?
Let Me Go, Ex Husband Chapter 35
Haylee's POVAIden talking to the healer, and next thing I know I'm pulling myself together. The bond scar pulses under my sweater, after a sleep that spanned years. My wolfpaces impatiently under my skin, begging me for something I can't — won't — give him.“Elara says they’re stable,” Aiden shares with him before hanging up. “No change so far, but she wasn’t expecting immediate results.”Relief washes through me. "When's the next treatment?"“Dawn,” he says, glancing at his watch. "About five hours from now. We should try to rest."I could not even say that I imagined lying down again in my bed, where I was too uncomfortably conscious of the sensation of falling, nor yet to my desk, from which horsehair post a spectral persuasion of cascading seemed to dangle as before my eyes, nor yet to the floor, which I had only just acquired the habit of using to rest my head and brush against sheets for something that breathed differently from myself about my scalp. "I'll take the couch.""Hay
Let Me Go, Ex Husband Chapter 34
Haylee's POVI wake and I am very warm, surrounded by a scent that is like a cocoon. There’s one brief, disorienting moment when time dissolves, and I am in our bedroom at the pack house, six years and a lifetime ago.Then the presence smashes into me. I'm in Aiden's cabin. In his bed. And the warmth beside me...I sit up straight, my heart slamming in my chest. Aiden is asleep on top of the covers, fully dressed with a respectful gap between us that somehow feels more intimate than if he’d been pressed up against me."What are you doing?" “Well, I asked him to stay,” I whisper.He stirs at the sound of my voice, blinks open his eyes. Realization crosses his face, and then worry.“You were having bad dreams,” he says, voice thick with sleep. "You asked me to stay."Heat rises to my cheeks. "I didn't mean in my bed.""That's for your bed," he corrects, sitting up and raking a hand through his sleep-ruffled hair. “And you apparently slept better.”I wish to argue, to deny his comfort, b

Aiden's POVThe word lingers in the space between us as we finish the blend. Once we have the serum ready, it's time for the last part of this phase—charging it up with our combined energy.“We need to hold the container:” I say, quoting from Elara's work. "And let’s concentrate our thoughts on healing our sons.”Haylee places her hands on the glass vessel, and I do the same beside hers, our fingers almost touching. (My son and I are almost touching it and the contents of the serum inside are gently glowing.“This is where we focus,” I mutter, eyes closing.I focus on the vision of the twins, their little faces serene in sleep, their bodies strong and whole. Next to me, I feel Haylee doing the same, her energy warm, familiar. Over time, our disparate interests converge, and we bolster each other. It starts to warm in our hands.“It’s working,” Haylee whispers.I open my eyes to the serum, not only glowing, but pulsating with our mutual focus. Lighting her face, Haylee looks absolutely
Let Me Go, Ex Husband Chapter 32
Aiden's POVMy cabin is tucked away at the edge of my land in a cluster of ancient pine trees, just a little distance from the pack house so I can get some fucking peace and quiet but close enough that can easily respond to any kind of emergency. The morning sun pours through the trees and dapples the wooden porch with the shadows of branches. Inside, I take one last glance around the main room, making sure I’ve set up everything Elara told me to: medical equipment spread out on the heavy oak table, refrigerator filled with what we’ll need to eat to keep our energy up, research papers piled neatly at the side of two comfortable chairs.I’ve left nothing to chance, but anxiety roils in my gut. Three days alone with Haylee. Three days to cook up a cure to save our sons. Three days that could change everything — or solidify that some bridges stay permanently burned.Outside, a vehicle pulls up, the tires crunching the gravel path. I am listening closely and there is a muffled sound of a
Let Me Go, Ex Husband Chapter 31
Haylee's POVThe beeping of the medical monitors keeps up its steady cadence in the infirmary where I am sitting between my sons’ beds, with one small hand in each of mine. Their breathing has evened out since Aiden did that strange ritual. but the faint markings still beat beneath their skin.Elara strides through the door, clipboard in hand, the rings around her eyes a dark pool. "How are they?" I say, my voice ragged from hours of anxious silence.“Stable, right now,” she answers, looking at the monitors. “But there’s something important I need to talk to you and Alpha Aiden about.”At this Aiden comes charging in. We hold eye contact for far too long before I drop my gaze, the thought of our almost-kiss still fresh on my lips."What have you found?" he asks Elara.She takes a deep breath. I’ve read their blood work, and they condition is extremely rare––it’s a blood exceptionality that’s happening to their wolf traits."Can it be treated?" I grip my sons’ hands more tightly."Yes,
Let Me Go, Ex Husband Chapter 30
Aiden's POVI hit the infirmary door at a run, my heart racing in my chest as Haylee’s scream for Lior still echoes in my ears. What I behold chills me to my core: my boys on the floor contort in agony, peculiar symbols inscribing their limbs.Haylee stands over Lior, panic written across her face as his eyes roll back. Kael struggles against the sheets, but the runes on his chest burn with unnatural brightness.“Get out of the way,” I snap, pushing my way through, and Elara is hot on my heels. The sound of my Alpha voice materializes without any intentional action and Haylee takes a step backwards on instinct, her eyes clouded with terror.I touch each boy’s chest, right over the glowing symbols. Old knowledge bubbles up within me—the pack lore passed down through generations of Alpha Fenrirs but unused until the present.“Sanguis patris, protego filios,” I mutter, as I feel power begin to flow through my veins. "*My blood, come back to me. *""What are you doing?" I can hear Haylee’
Let Me Go, Ex Husband Chapter 29
Haylee's POVI am wrenched from a dreamless sleep by the smell of antiseptic and sickness. For a split second, I’m disoriented, the unfamiliar ceiling hovering above me sending a surge of panic through my system before the reality hits. The twins. The illness. Aiden's territory.I sit bolt upright, and peek at my phone. Ten hours. I have been sleeping for ten hours, while my children —The door to the infirmary room is cracked, low voices coming from it. I am there in a flash, my heart beating against my ribs."That's it, little one. Small sips." Aiden’s voice too, gentle in a way I haven’t heard it in years.I stop in the doorway and first take a look at the room. Aiden perches on the end of Kael’s bed, assisting Kael to sip on some water, as Elara checks Lior’s physical state."Mom?" Kael’s fever-bright eyes locate me, and his voice is hoarse but stronger than it was yesterday.Aiden twists his dad’s ring around his finger, something indecipherable passing his face before he sets it
Let Me Go, Ex Husband Chapter 28
Haylee's POV I fold a tiny t-shirt that still bears faint puke stains, with hands that won’t stop shaking and try to lose myself in the simple step, pretend I’m not surrounded by madness. Kael's favorite stuffed wolf. Lior’s dog-eared book of wolf legends. Medications that did not work. Blankets that retained the smell of home."This is insanity, Haylee." I am drawn out of my carefully organised packing by Xavier’s voice. He’s standing in the threshold of the girls’ room, arms crossed, emanating disapproval. “There is no way you are seriously considering this.’"I'm not considering it. I'm doing it." Without looking up, I slide the folded clothes into the duffel bag. “The boys need care I can’t provide here.”“So you’re running back to him? After everything?" The pain in Xavier’s voice is enough to make me flinch. Almost.“I’m doing what I have to do to save my children.” I finally meet his gaze. “This is not about Aiden or you or me. It's about them."Xavier marches across the room
