Let Me Go, Ex Husband Chapter 52
Aiden's POVThe council chamber gradually empties with elders filing out with tight nods as they leave. I stay at the head of the old oak table, eyes on Haylee as she reads the terrain maps sprawled out on the table in front of us. Her dark hair streams over her brow like a stage curtain over half-obscured and yet I see the fierce concentration in her eyes.“Your ideas for shoring up the eastern border were good,” I say to her, ending the silence that has spread between us. I haven't seen Elder Thorne look that intimidated since I fought for Alpha ranking.There is the ghost of a smile on her lips. "Some things don't change. The eastern ridge has always been easy to exploit — I’m almost shocked they hadn’t taken steps to address it already.”“Honestly, we’ve been thinking more about the northern approach,” I confess. “After we rebuilt from … well, from everything, resources were a little short.”The history we do not speak of sags between us — her leaving, Arielle’s betrayal, the pack
Let Me Go, Ex Husband Chapter 51
Haylee's POVThe morning light seeps through the thick curtains as I sit next to the still form of the sleeping twins, studying their chests as they rise and fall with each breath. Kael’s hand wraps my finger, clutching it even in sleep, and Lior splayed out with his arms extended. There are strange markings on their wrists that are faintly pulsing, a constant reminder of what we’ve endured — and what is still ahead.“They always bounce back,” Aiden says softly entering the room with a tray of steaming mugs. "Just like their mother."I take the tea offered our fingers lightly touching. My body feels the touch, the mate bond answering it, despite my best effort to shut it the hell up."Did you get any rest?" I ask, noticing the dark circles beneath his eyes.He shakes his head. "Too much to organize. The council is assembling in one hour to decide on our course of action.“Xavier will not be silent for long,” I say, and it's the fear I've been chewing on since I got the message from Ma
Let Me Go, Ex Husband Chapter 50
Aiden's POVDawn has been rising over the hills as we slog back to my patch, each step heavy with fatigue. Kael is sleeping peacefully in my arms, small body jerking occasionally with the onset of nightmares. Next to me, Haylee holds Lior, her expression set like flint despite the fatigue furrowed into her features.“The boys need some rest,” I tell him quietly. "We're almost home."Haylee nods, her eyes fixed on the trail ahead of us the whole time. “They’ve already been through so much.”The strike teams are spreading out around us, looking for stragglers of the faction that lived through the fall of the temple. But the forest is silent, the trees perhaps even holding their breath after what they’ve seen tonight."Do you believe what Arielle told us about Xavier?" Haylee says, a few minutes later, as all of us sit there in silence. “That he was after me that day out in the woods?”I want to reassure, but the jigsaw pieces click together. "It explains a lot. His timely arrival when y

Haylee's POVI'm running through the forest, my feet barely touching the earth, blood pounding in my ears. Every maternal instinct inside me is shouting at me to transform, to let my wolf loose to rip through the woods even faster, but I remind myself that I’m human. Saving my boys requires strategy, not just speed.“The northeast entrance is the most exposed,” Marcus says as our strike team gathers at the edge of our stretch of woods. “But we have a better view of the temple grounds from the west.”"How many guards?" wear silver daggers on your belt?” Aiden inquires.“Three patrols of two,” reports one scout, bursting from the shadows. “They are not trying to disguise themselves. TaliaJacoya Almost like they’re leading us to go.“It’s a trap,” I tell her, the twin bond pulsing in my chest, and it hurts. "But we have no choice."Then, Aiden looks me in the eyes. intense, serious Aiden's eyes looks into my, determined, with fire in his eyes. "We split up. Two teams. I will go with the

Aiden's POVChaos erupts in the pack house around me. Wolves pack the hallways, their voices escalating in disarray and panic, with the news: the Alpha's sons are gone.“Clear every room,” I snap to Marcus as he closes in. “Every closet, every crawl space. Then extend to the grounds."“Under way already, Alpha,” he tells me, his weathered face grim. “I’d sent teams to the perimeter, too.”I nod, struggling to keep my wolf in check— it wishes for blood. My sons. My boys. Gone.And now all I’ve got is the note I discovered in my pocket last night—the one that tells me Haylee is going to take them. The coincidence is too perfect to be accidental."Have you seen Luna Haylee?" I ask, dreading the answer.“She was combing the east wing when I left her,” Marcus says. "She seems... distraught."Of course she does. The perfect charade—the frantic mother in search of the children that she has stashed herself. It makes me sick even to think it as doubt tingles at the edges of my certainty."Let

Haylee's POVThe smell of betrayal is one you don’t soon forget.I stop in the hall and look to watch Arielle walk out of the twins room. Frankly, something about her movements — sneaky and swift, shoulders hunched — sends an alert signal through my body. She’s been spending too much time with my children lately.” And every time I look up there she is, hovering near them with that solicitous smile, tinkering with a stack of books nearby, say, or straightening a framed photo on the window ledge, her smile settling across her face like soft gauze, not quite reaching her eyes."Luna Haylee." A youthful wolf servant dips her head in passing. "Is everything alright?"“Fine,” I reply without thinking and the truth is, nothing has been fine since finding Aiden’s note yesterday. The images had been seared into my mind: *Arrangements made. Just you give the boys and me the high sign an’ we’ll be out. X must not suspect. A note I never wrote.Imprinting my face with a neutral expression, I wal
