Rhett

Brynlee pushes my shirt off my shoulders and runs her hands over my chest like she's memorizing the feel of my skin. There's something almost frantic in her touch, like she's afraid I'll disappear if she stops making contact.

"I dreamed about this," she whispers against my throat. "Every night, I dreamed about coming home to you."

The confession undoes the last of my restraint. I capture her mouth in another kiss, pouring six months of grief and love and desperate relief into the connection. She responds with equal intensity, her submissive nature awakening under my dominance like it always has.

But there's something different too. An edge to her responses that wasn't there before, a wildness that speaks to changes I don't fully understand yet. When I break the kiss to trail my mouth down her throat, she makes a sound that's more growl than moan.

"Easy, little wolf." I murmur against her skin, falling back into the dominant patterns that have always grounded both of us. "I've go

  • Not Their Luna: A Female Alpha Story   Their Fractured Bond Ch. 14

    RhettSomething is off with Brynlee, and I can't figure out what it is.It's been three days since I brought her home, and while she's going through all the motions of being back—making breakfast, taking Maya to school, settling back into all her normal routines—there's something missing. A quality I can't quite put my finger on, like she's performing the role of my mate instead of actually being my mate.I watch her now as she folds laundry in our bedroom, appearing focused on her task but with a far away look in her eyes. Usually, domestic tasks are opportunities for casual intimacy—stolen kisses while passing in the hallway, playful swats with dish towels, the kind of comfortable physical connection we used to share.But when I moved behind her earlier to wrap my arms around her waist while she was making coffee, she stiffened slightly before relaxing into the embrace. Not a rejection, exactly, but not the natural melting into my touch that I'm used to either."You're staring," she

    BrynleeMaya's teacher is indeed surprised to see me, and the woman's shock is followed by such genuine warmth that I almost tear up. She clearly cares about Maya, which is something to be grateful for even in the midst of my current crisis."Maya talks about you constantly," Ms. Rodriguez tells me quietly while Maya shows me her artwork displayed on the classroom bulletin board. "She never stopped believing you'd come home.""She's a remarkable little girl," I reply, watching my daughter point out every crayon drawing and construction paper project with infectious pride."She is. And she's lucky to have such devoted parents. Her father has been wonderful through all of this—every school event, every parent conference, always making sure she felt supported."The praise for Rhett should fill me with warmth and pride. Instead, it just reminds me that he held our family together while I was gone, that he was exactly the father and pack leader I always knew he could be.Which makes the cu

    BrynleeI wake up to sunlight streaming through the bedroom curtains and the familiar sound of Rhett's breathing beside me. For a moment, everything is perfect—I'm home, in my own bed, with my mate warm and solid next to me. The relief is so intense it brings tears to my eyes.Then I try to sense him through our mate bond, and there's... nothing.Not the overwhelming intensity from last night, not even the muted connection I felt yesterday. Just silence where his presence should be, like trying to tune into a radio station that's gone off the air.My heart starts racing as I turn to look at him. Rhett is definitely there, definitely real—I can see the rise and fall of his chest, smell his familiar scent on the pillows. But the connection that's been the foundation of our relationship for six years is simply gone.Where is he? my wolf whines, confused by the absence of our mate's presence. She can see him, smell him, but she can't feel him the way she should.I reach out carefully and

    RhettWhen the world rights itself, the only thing anchoring me to reality is Brynlee—her body wound tight beneath me, her chest heaving, her eyes bright and wet and fixed on my face. The look she gives me is raw, stripped of all pretense, like she’s realized this is the only place she can breathe. Our bond is a living, seething thing, fresh and miraculous and a little bit terrifying. I don’t know where she ends and I begin, and I don’t want to find the line.For a long time we just breathe, bodies tangled and slick, neither of us speaking. My own blood is still thrumming, spent but restless, and I press my forehead to hers, trying to catch my bearings. She's trembling, but not from fear. The shudders that ripple through her are aftershocks, primal and raw, like she's fighting her own body to stay rooted in the moment.When we finally collapse to our sides together, our bond is singing with contentment for the first time in six months. Brynlee curls against my side with a satisfied si

    Rhett After Maya is tucked into bed, the house settles into a quiet that should feel peaceful but somehow doesn't. Brynlee is home. My mate is safe and alive and sitting on our bed less than ten feet away from me. This should be the happiest moment of my life.So why does guilt feel like a weight pressing down on my chest?I watch Brynlee as she moves around our bedroom, touching familiar objects like she's trying to convince herself they're real. Six months. She spent six months trapped in a dimensional void while I grieved and slowly started to heal and learned to live without her.Six months I could have been searching for her if I hadn't given up so easily."Rhett?" Brynlee's voice draws me out of my self-recrimination. She's standing by the dresser, holding the framed photo of the three of us from last Christmas. "You look like you're torturing yourself over something."The observation is so typically Brynlee—cutting straight through surface emotions to the heart of what's bothe
