LOGINWe ran. Through smoke and explosions and bodies. Through the worst attack I'd ever witnessed. Through my grandfather's final strike against everything we believed. Behind us, I could hear Thomas's voice. Still on the platform. Still in chains. Still facing execution but winning anyway through mass
"But Thomas is still on the platform!" Rose was right. Through the smoke and chaos, I could see my grandfather. Still standing. Still in chains. Still smiling that terrible smile. "Nate, if this is revenge, why isn't he escaping?" "Because he's the distraction." Uncle Cas understood now too. "Rose
The Rejected Mate Nate pov The execution grounds were packed. Hundreds of supernatural creatures had gathered to witness Thomas Reed's death. Wolves from traditional packs. Vampires from established covens. Council representatives. Press. Witnesses who wanted to see justice served for terroris
"But I gave him the excuse—" "He would have created an excuse regardless." I was firm now. "Nate, stop blaming yourself. Your grandfather made his choices. Recruited his rogues. Planned his attacks. Built his conspiracy for fifteen years before you even met me. You're not responsible for his extre

My Cheating Mate Jeremy pov The morning came too quickly. I'd maybe slept two hours total, my mind racing through scenarios, contingencies, ways this could go wrong. Emma hadn't slept much better. I'd felt her wake multiple times, heard her check on Grace, felt the tension radiating from her b
My father placed Grace in Jeremy's arms. She immediately stopped fussing, her tiny hand finding Jeremy's finger. "Hey, little one," Jeremy whispered. "I'm sorry I scared you. Scared your mom. I'm here now. I'm not going anywhere." Grace made a small sound, her eyes—still that newborn blue that w
"We can arrange that." My voice was darker than I intended. "Emma, whatever you want—" "No." She shook her head. "I want—I want her to be useful. To actually help undo some of the damage she's caused. And then I want her gone. Exiled. I don't care if she lives or dies, as long as she's never anywh
