Zahra's POV“I didn't even stop to pack. Medus and I shifted there and then, and we ran. I didn't care what happened when I got to Shadow, whether you told me to leave or the others wanted nothing to do with me. I just needed to reach you before the rogues did.”I glance towards his abdomen, remembering the terrible state he was in when he finally arrived.“And you nearly got yourself killed on the way.”“I ran into trouble,” he admits, looking distinctly uncomfortable.“That's putting it mildly, Max. You arrived looking as though someone had tried to tear you apart.”He drops his gaze, and I find myself looking at the hand pressed protectively against his abdomen. Forty-eight hours later, he's still in terrible shape, and I haven't quite shaken the fear I felt when I saw him collapse at Shadow.“You should've been in a hospital by now,” I tell him. “Instead, Medus is having to work himself into the ground trying to heal you, and you're sitting here making things worse because you're

Zahra's POVI stare at Max, struggling to understand how he could have known he'd made a mistake and still stayed away.“What was there to work out, Max? You could've picked up the phone. You could've come back and talked to me.”“I know, and I wish to fuck I had.” He lifts his head, meeting my eyes. “But I kept thinking about what I needed to say to you, how I could possibly explain why I'd left without making it sound like I was blaming you for having other mates. Every time I tried, I realised how fucking selfish I'd been, and nothing I came up with seemed good enough.”I watch the frustration gather in his expression as he struggles to explain himself.“I tried writing you a letter. Fuck knows how many times I started it. I thought if I could get everything down properly, maybe I could make you understand what had happened in my head. But I'd get halfway through and read it back, and all I could see was a load of excuses from the bastard who'd walked away from you.”He shakes his

Zahra's POVFor a moment, neither Tobias nor Lincoln answers. Max looks between them, clearly uncomfortable with the silence, but to his credit, he doesn't attempt to fill it with another apology.Tobias is the first to respond, his hand still resting on my shoulder.“I appreciate you saying that, Max,” he tells him quietly. “I know you didn't understand what you walked in on, but it wasn't easy having you react like that.”Max nods, the shame evident in his expression, while Lincoln studies him for a few more seconds before letting out a slow breath and unfolding his arms.“I'm glad you understand now,” Lincoln says, although his voice remains guarded. “But don't expect everything to be forgotten because you've apologised. We've got a few other things to sort out with you as well.”“I know,” Max replies. “And I want to sort them out.”I glance at Lincoln, feeling some of the tension leave him. He's still hurt, and I doubt he'll be particularly forgiving when they eventually discuss M

Zahra's POVThe sound of a door opening draws our attention, and I turn to see Tobias appear in the bedroom doorway, followed closely by Lincoln.They've both changed into clean clothes, although Lincoln's damp hair is sticking up in several directions, and Tobias looks as though he's been running his hands through his. Neither of them seems particularly comfortable, but at least the crippling embarrassment I felt through the bond earlier has eased.I start to get up, but Tobias gives me a small shake of his head.“We're all right, princess.”His voice is gentle, but I catch the slight hesitation before he speaks, and it makes my chest tighten. He's trying to reassure me, even though I can still feel the remnants of his discomfort beneath the calm he's projecting.I don't entirely believe him, but I settle back into my chair.Lincoln's attention moves straight towards Max, and I feel the sudden tension that runs through him. His expression hardens, and he folds his arms across his che

Zahra's POVI want to ask him, but I don't. This isn't about forcing him to confront his own relationship with Xander. Not yet. Right now, I need him to understand what happened to Tobias and Lincoln, and why his reaction hurt them so badly.I settle back in my chair, remembering something that's been playing on my mind ever since we discovered what Tobias and Lincoln really are to each other.“Actually, I think their connection was there long before either of them realised it.”Max looks at me curiously, his hand falling away from his jaw.“What do you mean?”“I think that's why Lincoln was the one who managed to get through to Thor when he went feral.”Max's forehead creases as he considers what I'm saying.“At the time, everyone put it down to their friendship and how much they trusted one another,” I continue, watching Max closely. “But now I'm wondering whether there was something more to it.”“You think it was their mate bond?” he asks, his expression thoughtful.“I think it mig

Zahra's POVFor a moment, we sit in silence. Max keeps glancing towards the corridor, and I can feel his regret growing as he thinks about Tobias and Lincoln.Finally, he looks back at me, his forehead creasing as another question occurs to him.“So, they're not just together because they both love you?”I shake my head, relieved that he's finally asking rather than assuming.“No, Max. Tobias and Lincoln are mates to each other. They're not just two men who happen to share the same mate and have developed feelings for one another. They each have a bond with me, but they also have one with each other.”His eyebrows draw together, and he looks towards the corridor before turning back to me.“Actual mates?” he asks, clearly struggling to reconcile that with everything he's ever understood. “As in, they can feel each other through the bond, the same way I can feel you?”“Yes,” I tell him, leaning back in my chair. “Although they're still getting used to it themselves. It hasn't been very
