LAURENT

My mate fell asleep fast, her grip on Kyle’s hand loosening only once her breathing evened out completely.

I sat there a long while, watching her chest rise and fall, still not fully trusting that any of this was real.

Kyle stayed curled against her side, refusing to be moved, and I didn’t have the heart to make him.

Instead, I pulled a chair close enough to rest my hand on his back instead, some small reassurance that I hadn’t left either of them, even as my mind kept retuning to t

    CLEONo matter how many years passed, seeing my mother’s name still did something to me. SERAPHINA. Kyle walked forward. He placed his drawing against the grave. “Hi, Grandma.” My throat tightened. Laurent’s hand found mine. Kyle looked back at me. “What do I say?” “Anything you want.” He turned back. “Doctor Drake says I’m healthy.” My eyes immediately burned. “And Dad is teaching me to fight, but Mom won’t let me use a sword yet.” Laurent coughed. I squeezed his hand hard. Kyle continued. “I drew you. Mom says you had a black wolf too.” I stepped forward and Kyle leaned against me. I wrapped my arm around him. For years, whenever I thought of my mother, I thought about losing her. I thought about the pain, but standing there with my son beside me and Laurent behind us, I realized I didn’t want to give Mordeth that much space in her story anymore. He didn’t deserve it. I reached out and touched the top of the stone. “He didn’t end us, Mama.” Laurent’s hand settled agai

    CLEOMy eyes burned. “I know. I’m not crying. I have something in my eye.” Kyle pulled back and looked at Laurent. “She’s lying?”My mate nodded, siding with our son. “She does that when she’s emotional.”“Laurent!” I gasped, wiping my cheek. Kyle grinned at me. “Can I ask one more question?” I sighed because I already knew this child was about to ruin the moment. “Just one question.” He looked at Laurent. “If I am healthy now and Drake said I can train, can we make it twenty-five minutes tomorrow?” Laurent opened his mouth. I cut him off. “Don’t you dare agree with him.” Kyle sighed heavily and picked up his drawing again. “Fine, but when I become Alpha, I’m making training twenty-five minutes.” Laurent leaned back on his hands. “When you become Alpha, you can train as long as you want.”Kyle smiled. “Oh? That’s perfect then.” I looked at Laurent. “You know he is going to remember you said that.” Kyle nodded seriously. “I already memorized it.” Laurent groaned. “I know.”T

    CLEO“Based on everything I have tested, no.” I closed my eyes in relief and when I opened them again, Laurent was watching me. “You heard him,” he said. “Kyle is healthy, and so are you.” “I have strange blood.” He chucked me under my jaw. “You had strange blood before.” I stared at him. Drake coughed into his hand, staring at Laurent who pretended not to notice. I narrowed my eyes on Laurent. “Was that supposed to make me feel better?” He nodded solemnly, his gaze somber. “Yes, don’t you? I can try again.” I waved him away, struggling to hide my smile. “Please don’t.” Drake stood. “I have patients who actually appreciate me.” “You love us,” I told him as he walked toward the door. I stood too, but something occurred to me before he could leave. “Drake?” He turned. “When do we tell Kyle he can train?” Laurent answered before Drake could. “Tonight.”I looked at him. “Absolutely not.” His eyebrows rose. “You were the one who asked if he could train.” “I know, but if we te

    CLEO“Nothing happened.” “That is not a reassuring way to start a conversation.” His expression softened slightly. “I have the final results.” I stared at him. Laurent’s hand tightened around mine. “My blood?” He nodded. “And Kyle’s latest tests.”Every thought of Antonio disappeared. “Is he okay?” Drake immediately nodded. “Kyle is fine.” My knees almost weakened from those three words alone. Laurent moved closer. “What do you mean by fine?” he asked. Drake looked between us. “Come upstairs. I would rather explain everything once. Luna Cleo, your son is fine.” “Then tell me now.” He sighed. “His latest tests are clear.” I stopped breathing. “What?” “His bloodwork looks excellent. There is no sign that the cancer has returned.” My hand flew to my mouth. Laurent said something, but I didn’t hear it. There was a roaring sound in my ears. The tests were clear. I had heard good results before. I had heard remission. I had heard that surgery had gone well. Every time, I had sm

    CLEOFor a moment, I thought I had heard him wrong. Antonio sat across from me with his hands cuffed to the table, looking straight at me as if he had not just said the one thing guaranteed to make my anger worse. “Protecting him?” I pulled my hand from beneath Laurent’s and leaned forward. “You were protecting my son from who?” Antonio didn’t answer immediately. My temper snapped. “From who, Antonio?” “Mordeth.” The name made something cold crawl under my skin. I had known that would be the answer. There was no one else it could have been, but hearing it still made my stomach twist because Mordeth was dead and somehow I was still discovering new ways he had reached into my life. “How much did he know about Kyle?” “Not everything. Because there are things I didn’t tell him.” Laurent had gone very still beside me. I didn’t have to look at him to know what he was thinking. The same thing I was.Our son had been sick. He had been fighting for his life while another danger had bee

    CLEOHe leaned back as far as the cuffs allowed. “I knew you would find the records eventually. Mordeth kept everything. He liked having something he could hold over everyone who worked for him.” “So you knew there was evidence? And you ran before we could find it? That was stupid.” “Yes.” My nails dug into my palm. Roman placed the ledger on the table between us. Antonio stared at it. “You recognize this?” Roman asked. “How long have you been working for him?” I asked. Antonio didn’t pretend not to understand. ““Almost seven years.” My stomach dropped. Seven years was before I returned to Blackfur. “What were you doing for him for seven years?” Laurent moved beside me. I felt the anger come through our bond before he said anything. “You were spying on my father.” Antonio nodded once. Laurent leaned forward. “Look at me when you answer.” Antonio raised his eyes. “Yes, Alpha. He was looking for Cleo.” I froze. Laurent’s expression changed. Antonio looked at me now. “Richar
