Dawn breaks over Forest Trails as Liam and I return from Mountain Ridge, the ancient texts secured in my pack feeling heavier than their physical weight should allow. Every minute that passes is another minute Finley spends trapped in that empty space, another moment closer to whatever collapse Celina warned us about.

"Celina's going to want to examine these immediately," I say as we approach the compound, gesturing to the stolen archives. "The linking ritual described in the 1534 account—it's complex. We'll need time to prepare properly."

"Time we might not have," Liam replies grimly, his exhaustion evident in the tight lines around his eyes. "That between-space is deteriorating. What if it collapses before we can attempt the projection?"

The question haunts both of us, unspoken but constantly present. Not just the possibility of losing Finley, but losing her because we weren't fast enough, weren't prepared enough, weren't willing to take sufficient risks when they matte

  • Not Their Luna: A Female Alpha Story   Their Fractured Bond Ch. 74

    Rhett The contractions start at three in the morning on a Tuesday in late spring, waking both of us from the deep sleep that's become possible since Brynlee stopped having nightmares completely."Rhett," she says calmly, her hand finding mine in the darkness. "I think it's time."It's time. The words I've been waiting to hear for weeks, the beginning of the moment when our son officially joins the family that's been preparing for his arrival."How far apart?" I ask, immediately shifting into the practical mode that's served us well through every crisis we've faced."About six minutes. They've been consistent for an hour."For an hour? She's been timing contractions while I slept, handling the early stages of labor with the quiet competence that's marked her complete recovery. All while shutting down the bond so her pain wouldn’t wake me. "Should we wake Maya?" I ask, checking the time and calculating how long we have before we need to leave for the hospital."Not yet. Let her sleep

    Brynlee When we finally make it downstairs, Maya greets us with the kind of excited energy that suggests she has important announcements to make."I finished the baby welcome garden!" she declares, gesturing toward the backyard with obvious pride. "Come see! Come see!"Baby welcome garden? Her latest project, apparently designed to provide an appropriate outdoor greeting for her brother's eventual arrival. Only from the minds of children. Outside, Maya has created what can only be described as a masterpiece of five-year-old landscape design. The vegetable beds we planted months ago are now surrounded by colorful flowers, decorative stones arranged in patterns that probably mean something to her organizational mind, and a small area clearly designated for future baby activities."This section is for when baby brother can sit up," she explains with professional seriousness, pointing to a soft grass area surrounded by aromatic herbs. "And this section is for when he can crawl. And this

    Brynlee I wake up to sunlight streaming through our bedroom windows and Rhett's hand resting protectively on my rounded belly, and for the first time in months, I don't spend a single second questioning whether any of it is real.Real, I think with deep satisfaction, feeling our son move under his father's touch. All of this is absolutely, undeniably real and I’ve never been happier.With my pregnancy nearly full-term, I've finally stopped testing reality and started fully living in it. The dissociative episodes that plagued my early recovery have faded to occasional shadows, and the hypervigilance that once made every experience feel suspect has been replaced by genuine trust in my own perceptions.Dr. Gorian lost, I remind myself with fierce satisfaction. Twenty-three years in federal prison, the Enhanced Individual Research Act struck down by Congress, and every facility in his network shut down permanently.The news came through three weeks ago, bringing closure I hadn't realized

    RhettThe drive home from Denver feels endless, but the moment I pull into our driveway, I can sense Brynlee's presence through the mate bond—not the fractured, uncertain connection that marked her early recovery, but genuine warmth and anticipation.She's been waiting for me, I realize. Worried about how the testimony went, hoping for good news.I find her in the kitchen with Maya, both of them working on what looks like celebration preparations. Homemade cookies cooling on racks, Maya's artwork displayed like party decorations, the kind of scene that speaks to hope rather than mere survival."How did it go?" Brynlee asks immediately, studying my face for clues about the trial's outcome."Good, I think. The jury seemed engaged, and Santos is confident we made our point about the psychological torture."Though whether that translates to conviction remains to be seen."The attorney said Dr. Gorian might face twenty years if convicted on all counts," I continue. "And the Enhanced Indivi

    RhettThe federal courthouse in Denver is surrounded by media trucks and protesters carrying signs that read everything from "Justice for Enhanced Individuals" to "Government Accountability Now." Dr. Gorian's trial has become a lightning rod for public debate about the Enhanced Individual Research Act, and today is the day I testify about what they did to my pregnant mate.The thought still sends rage through me so intense that Kian paces restlessly beneath my skin, demanding violence against everyone who participated in Brynlee's torture."Remember," Harper says as we approach the courthouse steps, "stick to facts, stay calm, and let your testimony speak for itself. The jury needs to see the human cost of this program, not just the legal violations. And they certainly don’t need a reason to think our kind deserve to be locked away."Right. I can do that. Brynlee's fractured ability to trust reality, her constant need to verify that our life is genuine, the weeks of careful healing re

    BrynleeAfter the appointment, grocery shopping feels almost normal. Rhett pushes the cart while I navigate our usual list, both of us automatically coordinating around each other's movements in ways that speak to years of shared domestic routine.Muscle memory, I think, watching how naturally we fall into familiar patterns. Our bodies remember how to be together even when my mind questions everything."Rhett," I say suddenly, stopping in the middle of the cereal aisle. "Can I touch you?"The request catches him off guard, and I see him struggling not to read too much into it while trying to respect whatever boundaries I need."Of course," he says carefully. "However you want, whenever you want."However you want, whenever you want. No pressure, no expectations, just permission to reconnect physically at whatever pace feels safe.I reach out and place my hand flat against his chest, feeling the steady rhythm of his heartbeat through his shirt. Real pulse, real warmth, real presence th
