Gunner pov Walking in, I hear Rose's shy giggles as Jeremy holds her. He is making her relax on his lap, and she feeds him gummy bears. That seems to be the pregnancy craving for all she wolves in this pack. I sneak up on Molly, who is looking at her baby bumb, and she looks sad. "Tiny doll. Wha
Jeremy pov The evening sun painted the pack house kitchen in warm golden light as Rose stirred a pot of her grandmother's secret recipe stew. Jeremy leaned against the counter, supposedly helping by chopping vegetables, but his eyes kept drifting to his mate instead of the cutting board. He didn't
Jeremy pov Moonlight spilled through the windows, painting silver patterns across Rose's skin as Jeremy traced his fingers along her cheek. Their mate bond thrummed with deep emotion, every touch amplified by their supernatural connection. He could smell her sweet arousal, and his wolf growled, wa
Gunner pov Gunner refused to let Molly carry anything heavier than her purse, which would have been annoying if it wasn't so endearing. His wolf was in full protective mode as they stood in front of their new home – a beautiful two-story cabin at the edge of pack territory, overlooking the forest.
Molly pov Molly woke to a sharp cramping sensation that had her wolf instantly alert. Something was different – she could feel it in her bones, in her blood, in the way her pup's energy shifted within her. "Gunner," she whispered, placing a hand on her mate's chest. He was sleeping goof after th
Gunner pov The birthing room crackled with intense energy as Molly held her daughter, but her body wasn't done. She was contracting again faster than anyone had expected. Gunner's face was etched with concern – something felt different from what they'd prepared for, the mate bond thrumming with un
Rose pov The hospital wing had grown suffocating after three days of waiting. Rose watched Jeremy pace the hallway outside Molly's room for the hundredth time, his wolf's agitation visible in every movement. She was moved here for better care in case she bled again. Rose was terrified as her own p
Rose pov Rose pressed a hand against the bathroom wall, trying to steady herself as another wave of morning sickness hit. She'd been fighting it all morning but had finally needed to excuse herself from Molly's room where she'd been helping Gunner with the twins. He watched her walk out, and she p
Grace pov Good birthday," she declared with satisfaction. "Everyone's patterns were happy." "Yes, they were," I agreed softly. "Did you enjoy your party?" Sophia nodded sleepily. "The Balance liked it too. And baby brother." Her small hand reached out to touch my belly with surprising gentlene
I accepted the cake gratefully. Pregnancy cravings had given me an unprecedented sweet tooth, much to Sophia's delight. "How's our birthday girl doing?" "Currently explaining to her friends how the presents create a 'harmony pattern' when arranged properly," Liam replied, his expression filled wit
Grace pov **Six Months Later** The late afternoon sun cast a golden glow across the meadow behind Fireside pack house. Children's laughter filled the air as a small gathering celebrated Sophia's second birthday. The toddler presided over the festivities with a serene dignity that occasionally ga
Sophia considered the question seriously before shaking her head. "Not worry. It's the right pattern. The balance is happy about it." She adjusted another stone slightly, the golden light flowing to illuminate the new configuration. "Five is better than four. Stronger shapes." As if confirming her
I began to protest, but another wave of dizziness—milder this time—reminded me that Elena's medical advice wasn't merely precautionary. My body was indeed adjusting to significant changes, and pushing beyond its limits would serve no one. "Two days," I conceded reluctantly. "But I want regular upd
Grace pov Liam nodded, leaning forward to place a gentle kiss on my forehead. "Our children were never going to be ordinary, were they? Not with us as parents." I smiled as he looked into my eyes. Lucas was a strong werewolf with Alpha blood, and Sophia was a truth seer. Both were strong as hell.
"What happened?" I asked, my voice slightly hoarse. "You collapsed in the observation gallery," Liam explained, squeezing my hand. "Gave everyone quite a scare, especially the children. Tomas has been asking about you every fifteen minutes." I attempted to sit up, but Elena moved swiftly to prev
Grace pov Two weeks after the Children's Day revelation, the Balance Center hummed with renewed purpose. I had implemented a carefully structured program to continue engaging with the children who had shown connection to the Equilibrium, while the research division refined their understanding of h
Grace pov Liam, ever practical, focused on immediate implications. "How does this affect our response to reality-shapers? Does this expanded connection give the equilibrium greater range or power?" "Not exactly, power," I replied thoughtfully. "More like... expanded awareness. Greater understand
