Rhett

I barely sleep after my conversation with Kaden, and by dawn I'm on the road to the last known location of Brynlee's phone. The GPS tracker I installed on our family plan shows her car stopped on Highway 27, about thirty miles outside Glass Lake. She's been stationary there for over twelve hours.

That's not normal. Even if she'd decided to sleep in her car instead of driving exhausted, she would have moved by morning. Unless she couldn't.

Kian paces restlessly beneath my skin, equally agitated by our mate's prolonged absence. The bond has been silent since yesterday's fight, which means I can't sense her emotional state or general wellbeing. For all I know, she could be hurt, trapped, or worse.

Find mate, Kian demands. Track. Hunt. Protect.

My wolf's urgency matches my own, but I force myself to think rationally as I drive. Panic won't help Brynlee. Professional tracking skills will.

The problem is, my skills are rusty.

Six months of grief and barely functional survival have dul

  • Not Their Luna: A Female Alpha Story   Their Fractured Bond Ch. 52

    BrynleeI wake before dawn to the sound of my cell door opening, my heart already racing with the knowledge that today begins Dr. Gorian's comprehensive testing program. Through the mate bond, I can sense Rhett's presence somewhere far to the south—awake, agitated, probably pacing our kitchen while Maya sleeps upstairs.Miss you, Naya whimpers, pressing against my consciousness with desperate longing. Need mate. Need pack. Need home."I know, girl," I whisper. "We're going to get through this. We're going to get back to them."Two technicians enter my cell, their movements efficient and professional. Behind them, Dr. Gorian carries his ever-present tablet and wears the kind of expression that suggests he's genuinely excited about whatever procedures he has planned."Good morning, Mrs. Bennett," he says with false courtesy. "I trust you slept well?"I didn't sleep at all, actually. I spent the night alternating between worry about today's tests and desperate attempts to connect with Rh

    Rhett "You said there were forty-seven confirmed detentions across multiple facilities," I say to Harper, an idea already forming in my mind. "That means forty-seven families dealing with the same situation we are."Harper nods slowly. "Scattered across twelve states. Most don't have the resources to mount legal challenges.""But they have motivation," I point out. "They have people they love disappearing into government custody.""What are you suggesting?" Raymond asks."I'm suggesting that forty-seven individual legal challenges can be ignored or delayed indefinitely. But a coordinated effort involving hundreds of affected family members, media attention, and political pressure might be harder to dismiss."Dr. Chen looks intrigued despite herself. "You're talking about organizing a movement.""I'm talking about doing whatever it takes to bring our people home." I lean forward, letting them see the determination that's been building since I found that pregnancy test. "Legal challeng

    RhettI don't sleep. Can't sleep. Every time I close my eyes, I see that pregnancy test with its two clear pink lines, and the feral rage that's been building since yesterday afternoon threatens to consume what's left of my rational mind.Pregnant mate in danger, Kian snarls on repeat. Unborn pup threatened. Kill everything that stands between us and our family.My wolf's response is primitive and absolute—find the facility where they're holding Brynlee, tear it apart with my bare hands, and eliminate anyone who dares to experiment on my pregnant mate. The fact that it's a federal operation with trained guards and sophisticated security doesn't register as anything more than obstacles to be overcome through violence.But Maya is asleep in the next room, and getting myself killed in a futile assault on a government facility would leave her completely orphaned. That knowledge is the only thing keeping me from shifting and running toward whatever distant location holds my mate and our unb

    Brynlee"I want to speak to a lawyer," I say, grasping for any legal protection that might exist."You'll be provided with legal counsel when the research phase is complete," Dr. Gorian replies smoothly. "Until then, cooperation ensures optimal conditions for all subjects."Just like last time, the casual reference confirms that I'm not alone here, that other dimensionally-affected people are being held in similar circumstances. All of us reduced to nothing more than pawns in Gorian’s plan. And there’s not a damn thing I can do about it."How many others are there?" I ask."Forty-seven confirmed subjects across multiple facilities," he answers with the satisfaction of someone discussing a successful collection. "Each with unique exposure patterns and enhanced capabilities. Your case is particularly valuable because of our success in stabilizing your mate bond—most subjects show deteriorating pack relationships over time."If that’s true, either the dimensional exposure damages people's

    BrynleeThe new facility makes Dr. Gorian's previous operation look like amateur hour. Where his original laboratory was clinical and sterile, this place is a fortress designed specifically for long-term containment of people like me. Everything from the reinforced walls to the sophisticated monitoring equipment screams federal funding and unlimited resources.My cell—because that's what it is, despite the medical terminology they use—is larger than my previous accommodation but infinitely more secure. The walls are some kind of composite material that dampens scent trails, the door is electronically controlled with biometric locks, and cameras monitor every square inch of space except a small bathroom area.Maximum security for dimensional refugees, I think grimly as I examine my new prison.Through the mate bond, I can sense Rhett's location and emotional state, though the connection is weaker here than it was in the transport vehicle. Whatever technology they're using interferes wit

    Rhett "There have to be constitutional protections," Liam argues. "Due process, habeas corpus, basic civil rights.""All suspended by humans for their supernatural counterparts deemed threats to national security," Harper replies. "The legislation is comprehensive and specifically designed to circumvent normal legal protections."Someone put considerable thought into creating a legal framework that allows the government to make people disappear with impunity."So what are our options?" I ask, though I'm starting to suspect the answer is that we don't have any."Limited," Harper admits. "Legal challenges will take months or years, and success isn't guaranteed. Direct action against federal facilities is essentially impossible. Media exposure might help, but pack issues don't generate much public sympathy."Because the average human doesn't understand pack bonds or dimensional exposure, and they're easily convinced that people with unusual abilities are inherently dangerous."There is o
