"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.

    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 wi

    RhettThe black SUV disappears around the corner, taking my mate away for the second time in three months, and I stand in my doorway feeling more helpless than I have ever felt in my life.Maya clings to my leg, her small body shaking with sobs that tear at the aching wound in my chest. Through the mate bond, I can still feel Brynlee's presence, but it's fading with distance and the overwhelming terror of watching federal agents treat her like property to be collected.Government, Kian snarls with fury that borders on feral. They took our mate. Track. Hunt. Kill.My wolf's response is primitive and absolute—find the threat, eliminate the threat, reclaim what's ours. But the rational part of my brain knows that traditional pack solutions won't work against federal authority backed by legal warrants."Daddy," Maya whimpers against my leg. "Why did they take Mommy again? She was happy. We were all happy."That's what makes this so devastating. We were happy. We had rebuilt our life, stab

    Brynlee "The facility you were in was shut down," Rhett says, his voice carrying dangerous undercurrents. "Your research was ended.""The private facility was closed," Dr. Gorian corrects. "But the research continues under direct federal oversight. Your mate's case is particularly valuable because our manipulations after her dimensional exposure have resulted in unprecedented bond stabilization."Bond stabilization. He knows about the improvement in our mate bond, which means he's been monitoring me even after the rescue."I'm not going anywhere with you," I say firmly.Agent Martinez consults her paperwork with bureaucratic efficiency. "I'm afraid cooperation isn't optional. The Enhanced Individual Research Act provides clear authority for continued study of dimensionally affected persons in the interest of national security."That’s just legal language for making my imprisonment sound like protective custody rather than kidnapping."Where's my lawyer?" I ask, grasping for any lega

    BrynleeI wake up before dawn again, just like I have for the past three mornings, with the familiar wave of nausea that I've been trying to convince myself is just lingering stress from my captivity. But as I slip quietly out of bed and pad to the bathroom, I can't ignore what my body has been trying to tell me.The signs have been there for over a week—the morning sickness, the exhaustion that goes beyond normal recovery fatigue, the way certain smells make me feel queasy. More importantly, I missed a heat and my period is now two weeks late, which would be easy to attribute to trauma and stress if not for the other symptoms.Could I really be pregnant?The thought fills me with such intense hope that I'm almost afraid to confirm it. Rhett and I have been trying on and off for years to have a baby together. He's never made me feel inadequate for not conceiving for him, never shown anything but complete love and acceptance of Maya as his daughter. But I've always wanted to give him a

    Rhett After breakfast, we spend the morning in the backyard, discussing the logistics of converting a section of lawn into vegetable garden space. Maya has opinions about everything—the optimal location for tomatoes, whether we should grow corn (too tall, might shade other plants), and the importance of including flowers to attract beneficial insects.Watching Brynlee engage with Maya's enthusiastic gardening plans, I'm struck by how naturally she's slipped back into the role of mother and partner. Not the careful performance that characterized her behavior right after returning from the dimensional void, but a genuine eagerness to take part."We should get started on the raised beds soon," I observe, measuring the space Maya has designated for vegetables. "If we want to plant after the last frost, we'll need to prepare the soil in advance.""Can we go to the garden center this afternoon?" Maya asks. "I want to see what kinds of seeds they have.""Absolutely," Brynlee agrees. "We can
