"Well," Liam says after several moments of processing silence, "that was thoroughly unpleasant. Sorry you had to witness... whatever that was supposed to accomplish."

"Actually," I reply with grim satisfaction, "I'm glad I was here. No ambiguity about what happened, no opportunity for her to spin this into evidence of wavering commitment or questionable choices."

"True," he agrees with relief that suggests he'd been worried about exactly that possibility. "Though I can't believe she thought... what, that I'd see her in my bed and suddenly abandon Finley for a chance to revisit a relationship that could never last in the first place?"

"Desperation makes people stupid," I observe with a shrug. "She's been losing ground steadily—first you chose Finley over her, then the enhanced bonding made our commitment undeniable, then the ceremony planning made it public and permanent. This was probably her last chance to create doubt or confusion."

"Instead, she just proved how completely over

    BrynleeI push the doubt away, letting thoughts of Rhett searching for me fill me with such fierce love that flowers bloom in a perfect circle around where I'm sitting. Thoughts of our life together flood my mind, giving me something to hold onto while I wait for him to find me. Rhett and I found each other after trauma had already shattered me into tiny pieces. But he claimed me completely, accepted Maya as his own, built a life with us that was perfect in its quiet contentment. And I threw it all away to save people who probably don't even remember my sacrifice.No. That's the dimensional madness talking, trying to poison my memories with bitterness and regret. I made the right choice. When the barriers started collapsing and threatened to take the entire pack with them, someone had to act. Someone had to buy time for the others to escape.Rhett would have done the same thing in my position. It's what you do for family, for pack, for the people you love more than your own existence

    BrynleeThe aftermath of the psychic contact with Rhett leaves me shaking with exhaustion and something that might actually be hope. For the first time in six months of endless twilight, I managed to break through whatever dimensional static has been blocking our mate bond. I reached Rhett. I called out to him across impossible distances, and I felt him respond.He heard me. I know he did.My wolf—restless and agitated since we arrived in this place—finally settles into something approaching calm. She's been pacing constantly beneath my skin, driven to distraction by our separation from our mate and pup. The brief contact wasn't enough to satisfy her completely, but it proved what we both needed to know: they're still there. Still alive. Still ours.Home, she whispers in my mind, the first clear communication I've had from her in weeks. Need to go home."I know, girl. I'm working on it."The landscape around me shifts as my emotional state changes, responding to hope the way it respond

    Rhett"Rhett—" Finley’s warning tone snaps me out of my thoughts. "She was wrong," I repeat, more firmly this time. "I know how this sounds. I know you think I'm losing it. But I felt her, Finley. For the first time since she disappeared, I felt her."My sister studies my face, and I see the exact moment she decides I'm having some kind of breakdown. Her expression shifts into the gentle, patient look she used to use on Maya when she was having a tantrum."Okay," she says carefully. "Let's say that's what happened. What do you want to do about it?"It's not an agreement—it's humoring me. But it's better than outright dismissal."I want to find her.""How?"The simple question stops me cold. How do you search for someone trapped in a collapsed dimension? How do you even begin to look for a person who might exist in a space between realities?"I don't know yet," I admit. "But there has to be a way. If she can reach out to me, then maybe I can reach back. Maybe we can find the connection

    Rhett I sit up in bed with a gasp as I'm jolted out of my dream, my heart racing and her name on my lips like a prayer and a promise combined."Brynlee!"The sound echoes in the empty bedroom, bouncing off walls that haven't heard her laughter in six months. My chest heaves as I try to catch my breath, sweat cooling on my skin despite the early morning chill. The dream—if it was a dream—felt so real I can still taste her name on my tongue, still feel the phantom warmth of her presence reaching across impossible distances.My wolf, Kian, paces restlessly beneath my skin, agitated in a way I haven't felt since those first horrible days after she disappeared. He's been quiet lately, subdued by grief and the necessity of holding myself together for our daughter, Maya. But now he's alert, ears pricked forward like he's listening for something just beyond our ability to hear.She called to me. The certainty hits me like a physical blow. Not a dream, not wishful thinking born of six months o

  • Not Their Luna: A Female Alpha Story   Author's Note

    Aloha Lovely readers,Thank you so much for your patience as I contemplate next steps for this story. To be honest, deciding how to move forward has been a struggle for me. But I've finally made a decision and I'm ready to stick to it.You see, the novella I wrote for Rhett and Brynlee wasn't planned. It was a story that developed in my mind as I wrote Olivia's book, which is why I didn't write a longer book for them. I've had this entire series planned for a while and they just weren't in it. That was a lack of foresight on my part, I suppose. The problem is, as I wrote His Shattered Mate, I fell in love with Rhett and Brynlee and just wasn't ready to let them go completely. I wasn't sure how at the time, but I knew I needed to circle back to them at some point. While I loved their story, I was also painfully aware that while Rhett's love allowed Brynlee to heal and grow into the strong woman she became, Rhett was always unapologetically himself. He didn't really have to compromise m

  • Not Their Luna: A Female Alpha Story   Bonus Chapter

    The dimension I've been trapped in for six months exists in a state of perpetual twilight—not quite day, not quite night, with a silver-gray sky that never changes and landscape that shifts when I'm not looking directly at it. Trees that were there moments ago vanish, replaced by rocky outcroppings or endless fields of grass that whisper secrets in languages I almost understand.But I'm alive. Against all odds, despite the dimensional collapse that should have scattered my atoms across multiple realities, I'm whole and conscious and desperately trying to find my way home.The hardest part isn't the isolation or the constantly shifting environment—it's the silence where my mate bond should be. In this place between worlds, I can't feel him. Can't sense whether he's alive or dead, grieving or moving on, enjoying life or drowning in the kind of pain that destroys people from the inside out.I have to believe he's alive. Because the alternative—imagining my strong, devoted mate broken by m
