Jake leaned against the doorway, arms crossed, watching Lila with narrowed eyes.

“You’re doing it again,” he said.

Lila didn’t look up from the holographic display, fingers rapidly tapping through a sequence of security feeds. “Doing what?” she muttered.

“Overworking. Stressing. Wearing yourself down to the bone,” Jake listed, pushing off the doorframe. “And you know exactly what I’m talking about.”

She sighed but didn’t slow down. “I don’t have time to take a break. We’re running out of leads, and I need to know what Arika is planning next. If we wait too long, she’ll be ten steps ahead of us.”

Jake exhaled through his nose, crossing the room in a few long strides. He reached out, gently placing a hand over hers, stilling her movements. “Lila,” he said softly. “We can’t do any of this if you collapse on us. You haven’t slept. You barely ate. You’re pushing yourself too hard.”

Lila finally met his gaze, something unreadable flickering in her eyes. For a moment, it looked like she migh

    Lila clenched her fists, her chest tightening as a storm of emotions swirled within her."I don’t understand why you’re both so patient with me," she muttered, looking away. "I keep pushing, keep hesitating, and yet… you’re still here."Jake stepped closer, his voice gentle yet firm. "Because we love you, Lila. That doesn’t change just because you’re struggling."Lucas exhaled, crossing his arms as he studied her with knowing eyes. "You think you’re hard to love, don’t you?"Her throat tightened, but she refused to answer. The truth sat heavy in her chest, too raw to admit. She had spent most of her life proving she didn’t need anyone, that she could survive alone. But now, with them, she found herself wanting more—terrified of wanting more.Lucas sighed, stepping forward. "Love isn’t about perfection, Lila. It’s about choosing each other, even when it’s hard. Even when fear tries to convince you to run."Her hands trembled, and she clenched them tighter. "I don’t want to be weak."Jak

    The evening stretched on, the tension slowly melting into something softer. Lila found herself nestled between them on the couch, their quiet presence providing a comfort she hadn’t known she needed."You know," Jake mused, "I think God knew exactly what He was doing when He put the three of us together. You balance us out, Lila."She arched a brow. "Oh? How so?"Lucas smirked. "You keep us on our toes. And you remind us what real strength looks like."Lila scoffed. "Strength? You two are the warriors here."Jake shook his head. "No, Lila. Strength isn’t just about fighting battles. It’s about endurance. It’s about getting back up, even when life knocks you down. And you’ve been doing that your whole life."Warmth spread through her chest at his words. "I never thought of it that way."Lucas leaned in, his voice softer. "Because no one ever told you. But we see you, Lila. And we won’t let you forget your worth."She blinked, her vision blurring slightly. "Thank you. For being patient

    Emotional Turmoil and Longing:Lila had always been independent. It was a necessity, not a choice. The world had taught her long ago that trusting too easily led to heartbreak, that relying on others could mean disappointment. But things were different now. Lucas and Jake weren’t temporary figures in her life. They weren’t people who would walk away when things got difficult. Her wolf knew that. Deep down, she knew that.And yet, the old fears still lingered like ghosts in the dark.Jake moved beside her, his presence steady. “You’re thinking about your past again.”Lila swallowed hard, then nodded. “I just—sometimes, it’s hard to believe this is real. That you’re real.”Lucas knelt in front of her, taking her hands in his. “We are. And we’re not going anywhere. You don’t have to prove anything to us.”Lila closed her eyes for a moment, letting his words settle deep inside her. She had spent so much of her life proving her worth, fighting to be seen, to be enough. But with them…She w

    Lila stirred, the morning light filtering softly through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. She became aware of the steady, comforting breaths of Jake and Lucas on either side of her. The events of the previous night replayed in her mind, bringing a soft smile to her lips.Jake’s voice, husky from sleep, broke the silence. “Morning, beautiful.”Lila turned her head to meet his gaze, her heart fluttering at the tenderness she found there. “Morning,” she replied softly.Lucas’s arm tightened around her waist as he nuzzled into her neck. “How are you feeling?”She took a moment to assess herself. Physically, there was a pleasant soreness; emotionally, she felt a sense of belonging she hadn’t known she craved. “Content,” she admitted.Jake brushed a strand of hair from her face. “We meant what we said last night. This isn’t just a fleeting moment for us.”Lucas nodded, his eyes serious. “We’re in this together, Lila. For the long haul.”Lila’s heart swelled with emotion. The

    "You can't keep avoiding this conversation, Lila," Lucas's voice was gentle but firm, his eyes searching hers for understanding.Lila sighed, her gaze dropping to her hands clasped tightly in her lap. "I know. It's just... confronting the past isn't easy."Jake leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees. "We're here for you. Always."She looked up, meeting Jake's intense gaze, then Lucas's steady one. The sincerity in their expressions made her heart ache. "I appreciate that. Truly."Lucas reached out, his hand covering hers, offering warmth and reassurance. "We need to understand what you're feeling. What you're fearing."Lila took a deep breath, steadying herself. "It's hard to put into words. The shadows of my past... they haunt me. I fear they might consume me again."Jake's jaw tightened, a flicker of anger in his eyes—not directed at her, but at the unseen forces that tormented her. "We won't let that happen."Lucas nodded in agreement. "Together, we'll face whatever comes.

    The next morning, the air between them felt lighter. Stronger. Lila could feel it in the way they moved around each other, in the easy touches and teasing remarks. The bond between them was growing, not just as mates but as something deeper. Something unshakable.Lucas caught her wrist as she passed him, tugging her close. “We’ll take this at your pace.”Lila met his gaze. “I know.”Jake draped an arm around her shoulders, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. “And don’t you forget it.”For the first time in a long time, Lila felt steady.5. A Night of ReassuranceThat night, as she lay between them, Lila whispered, “I never thought I’d have this.”Lucas traced circles on her palm. “You do now.”Jake murmured sleepily, “And you always will.”She smiled in the dark, knowing that for once, she didn’t have to face the world alone.Faith, Love, and StrengthThere was something deeply sacred about the bond they were forming. Not just as mates, but as partners in faith, in trust, in love.

    The Awakening of the Wolf:Jake's breath was warm against her ear as he whispered, "You can't hide from me forever, Lila."She stiffened, her fingers curling into fists. "I'm not hiding," she shot back, her voice laced with defiance.He chuckled softly, the sound vibrating through the air between them. "Then why do you keep running?"Lila turned to face him, her eyes flashing. "Maybe because every time I stop, you and Lucas are there, crowding me."Jake's gaze darkened, a smirk playing on his lips. "Crowding you? Or reminding you of what you can't resist?"She hated the way her body responded to his words, heat pooling in her core. "Don't flatter yourself," she muttered, looking away.He stepped closer, closing the distance between them. "Your pulse betrays you, pussy cat.""Stop calling me that," she snapped, her eyes narrowing.Jake's hand reached out, fingers brushing a stray strand of hair from her face. "Why? Afraid it reminds you of who you really are?"Lila swallowed hard, her

    The Awakening of the Wolf“You sure you’re ready for this?” Jake’s voice was soft, but his eyes held the weight of his concern.Lila exhaled, her breath curling in the frigid air. “No. But I don’t think I’ll ever be until I try.”Jake offered his hand without a word. She took it, the warmth of his palm grounding her more than she expected.“You don’t have to prove anything,” he added, brushing a loose curl from her cheek. “Not to us. Not even to yourself.”“I’m not trying to prove anything,” she muttered, “I’m trying to feel whole again.”The snow crunched softly beneath their boots as they stepped deeper into the twilight-drenched forest. Bare branches framed the sky like ancient fingers holding stars. Everything was still—unmoving—but inside her, something was shifting.The trees whispered like old friends. Her wolf stirred restlessly within, sensing the change in her.Jake didn’t press. He walked beside her in silence, their arms occasionally brushing. Every time their shoulders met

    ...Her vision darkened at the edges. Her muscles slackened.The poison was winning.But she’d stopped the countdown.She’d stopped her.And that was worth every drop of blood.“I thought you were smarter than this,” Arika’s voice cracked through the silence like a whip, low and bitter. “But you’re still just the broken girl who doesn’t know when to give up.”Lila barely had time to look up before she heard the click.Arika had drawn a second weapon—a sleek silver-plated handgun—and was aiming it straight at her.“Guess what this one’s loaded with,” Arika sneered. “Silver. Custom made. Just for you.”Lila’s instincts screamed. Her own weapon trembled in her bleeding hand as she forced herself upright. Her breath was sharp, her body sluggish. But her mind? Sharp. Deadly.She raised her gun to match Arika’s.Both women locked eyes, frozen, guns trained on each other in the flickering red light of the destroyed container. Sparks flared behind them, the silence stretching tight like a live

    Arika collapsed to her knees, hands trembling. “It was supposed to end. I needed it to end.”Lila stared at her for a long moment. The woman before her wasn’t just a villain. She was broken. And dangerous.But she was also her sister.“I’m not giving you the keys,” Lila said softly. “And I’m not letting you destroy this.”The red glow of the screen illuminated both their faces—sweat, grime, blood.It was over.But it wasn’t.Not even close.With a sudden, primal scream, Arika lunged upward, throwing herself at Lila with bone-snapping force.Lila staggered, taken off guard by the sheer desperation behind the charge. Arika’s elbow jammed into her chest, sending her reeling against the grated floor of the container. Sparks showered around them from dislodged cables. A warning alarm somewhere nearby wailed, short and sharp.Arika didn’t stop.She pounced again—this time, tackling Lila to the ground. Both women hit the metal floor hard, their bodies tangled in fury and pain. The detonator

    “You’re insane, Arika. You know that, right?”“Insane?” Arika’s voice oozed with mockery. “Please. That’s such a civilian diagnosis.”Lila’s fists clenched as she took another step forward, her eyes locked on the massive screen overhead—00:09:56. The red numbers blinked with a deadly calmness, each second ticking away a piece of her resolve. Beneath the screen, her servers stood like monuments to everything she’d fought for. Wired with explosives.“You’re going to kill us both,” Lila spat, her voice shaking with fury. “All of this—just to prove a point?”“Oh no, darling.” Arika twirled the sleek detonator in her hand, its silver surface catching the dim light. “Not to prove a point. To make one.”“You planted explosives on the servers!” Lila’s voice rose, ragged. “Are you listening to yourself?”Arika chuckled softly, stepping aside to reveal a clearer view of the blinking red lights wired into each server unit. “I told you this was always bigger than us. You just didn’t want to belie

    Lila followed Arika up the ramp, her boots clinking softly against the grated metal, heart thudding louder with each step. Something in Arika’s voice lingered like smoke—too calm, too measured. She didn’t trust it. Not for a second.“You keep the data onboard?” Lila asked, eyes flicking to the wall-mounted surveillance cams. The ship’s interior was sleek but sterile, with black paneling and chrome fixtures. Cold. Like its owner.“No,” Arika said, stopping at a narrow corridor. “I keep my insurance onboard.”She keyed a code into the control pad, and a mechanical hiss broke the silence. A door slid open, revealing a freight elevator platform.“After you,” Arika said with a mock bow.Lila stepped in cautiously, hand still near her weapon. The platform hummed, descending smoothly into the ship’s belly. A few seconds passed in silence. Arika didn’t move. Didn’t smile.Then the metal chamber opened—and Lila’s breath caught.Rows of blinking machines lined the container-sized space. The ser

    The Vault’s Truth:Arika’s voice cut through the still air like a blade. “You ever stop and ask yourself what the point of it all is?”Lila didn’t answer immediately. The faint hum of the servers was the only sound between them. Outside, the snow still howled, muffled through thick bunker walls. Her fingers hovered over the tablet screen, pulling fragments of data—locations, funds, faces of corrupt officials—but her mind was already one step ahead.“I used to,” she said finally, gaze still fixed on the display. “I used to think the world was rotten to the core. That maybe if I set a match to everything, it’d feel better.”Arika snorted. “It doesn’t.”“No,” Lila agreed, voice softer now. “It just burns you with it.”That silenced Arika for a beat. Lila glanced over, catching the flicker of doubt that cracked through her sister’s sarcasm.“You sound like one of those therapy podcasts the Alphas play for their anxious mates.”“I sound like someone who’s been burned before.” Lila turned o

    Frostbite and Fireworks:"“You sure you’re not walking me into a trap?”Lila’s voice cut through the storm, low and razor-sharp, carried on the wind like a blade tossed by fate."Would I waste this much time just to kill you?” Arika replied without glancing back, her silhouette a blur through the thick curtain of snow. “Don’t flatter yourself.”"You’ve done worse for less."Lila adjusted the grip on her sidearm beneath her coat, every muscle coiled. “And you still haven’t answered how you got the servers out of here without leaving a trail.”"You'll see.”It wasn’t a tease. It wasn’t a threat. It was a promise laced with something darker—familiar, dangerous, and maddeningly vague.The snowstorm howled around them like a feral thing, wind battering exposed skin and biting through layers as they trudged deeper into the derelict port grounds. Long-dead cranes loomed like rusted sentinels, skeletal and forgotten. The place reeked of salt, decay, and memory.Lila kept scanning—trees, rooft

    The locket in Arika’s hand glinted one last time in the fading light before she tucked it into the folds of her coat, her fingers twitching as though the cold no longer bothered her—just the past that still clung to her skin.But Lila wasn’t finished.Not yet.She turned slowly, like a predator toying with a rival too confident for her own good. “You know,” she said conversationally, her voice laced with honeyed venom, “for someone who prides herself on good taste, I’m surprised you didn’t notice the warning signs.”Arika’s head tilted. “What signs?”Lila’s smile was all razor-edge charm. “Oh, just that Salicus was riddled with diseases. Biochemical ones. I should know—I left him with a few.”The blow landed with precision. A flicker of something passed through Arika’s expression—a stutter in her breath, a twitch at the corner of her mouth. She masked it quickly, but not quickly enough.“You’re bluffing,” Arika said, voice clipped.“Am I?” Lila stepped closer, letting her words drip.

    Lila’s lips parted slightly, but no words came out. That sentence—so personal, so venomous—stuck in her like a blade wedged between ribs.Arika didn’t wait for her to recover. She turned and walked slowly toward the edge of the clearing, her fingers brushing the frost-covered rail of a long-abandoned cargo lift. The silence between them thickened.“I had a guest once,” Arika called over her shoulder, too casual. “You might know him. Salicus Grante.”Lila’s body snapped to attention.The name landed like a hammer.“You’re lying.”Arika looked back, one eyebrow raised. “Am I?”“Salicus is dead.”Arika gave a mocking little shrug. “Is that what you tell yourself to sleep at night? Or just what you hope is true?”Lila took a shaky step forward. Her pulse thundered in her ears. “Where. Did. You. See. Him.”“Here. There. Doesn’t matter,” Arika said. “He’s a wanderer. A very persistent one. Had a few... interesting stories about you, too. I see where you get your taste in men.”Lila’s hands

    Chapter Title: Blood Tides and Buried Truths"You look older than I imagined. The cold's not kind to you, huh?"Lila’s voice cut through the air, sharp as shattered ice.Arika smirked, slow and poisonous. “And you still greet people like you’re handing out ultimatums.”“I only greet the ones who fake their deaths and sell lies for a living.”Arika’s eyes flicked down her nose, unfazed. “Still bitter, I see. At least that hasn’t aged.”The wind between them twisted, biting through cloth and bone alike. They stood ten paces apart in the heart of the abandoned clearing, surrounded by cracked concrete and frost-covered crates. The silence of the ruin only emphasized how violently the past clawed its way into the present.“You died,” Lila said, voice low now. Controlled. “That’s what they told me. What you let them tell me.”“They weren’t wrong,” Arika replied smoothly. “Not entirely.”Lila scoffed. “You faked your death and vanished. What else was I supposed to believe?”“That I had a rea
