The conference room at Dr. Chen's law office buzzes with quiet desperation disguised as professional coordination. Twelve families are represented around a table, each carrying the hollow-eyed exhaustion that comes from loving someone who's been taken beyond their reach.

"The legal challenges are proceeding," Raymond reports, consulting his laptop. "We've filed emergency injunctions in six federal districts, demanding disclosure of facility locations and research protocols."

Two weeks into Brynlee's captivity, and we're still talking about paperwork while she's being subjected to whatever research Dr. Gorian considers essential.

"How long before we see results?" asks Maria Santos, whose husband was taken three weeks ago from their home in Texas.

"Weeks, possibly months," Dr. Chen admits. "Federal agencies are claiming national security exemptions for most of our information requests."

    BrynleeI’ve lost track of time. I’m no longer sure what’s real and what is simply some elaborate form of torture Dr. Gorian has cooked up for me. Or how long he’s been at it. "The neurological response to perceived abandonment is quite remarkable," Dr. Gorian notes, making observations on his tablet. "Notice how the subject's brain activity shifts from denial to acceptance as the emotional pressure increases."Acceptance. He's trying to make me accept that my family has replaced me, that the love I've been counting on doesn't actually exist.The footage shifts one more time, showing Maya in her bedroom with the woman named Susan. My daughter is showing her the garden drawings we made together, but instead of treating them as memories of her absent mother, she's presenting them as plans for future projects with her new maternal figure."Mommy and I were going to plant tomatoes," Maya says in the video, pointing to her careful drawings. "But now you and Daddy and I can plant them inst

    Brynlee Day four begins with Dr. Gorian's smile, which has become the most terrifying sight in my rapidly shrinking world. He enters my cell flanked by technicians carrying equipment I've learned to fear—cameras, speakers, monitoring devices designed to measure my psychological destruction in real time."Good morning, Brynlee," he says with false warmth. "Today we're conducting advanced stress response evaluations. I think you'll find them quite... illuminating."What does he mean by that exactly? The way he says it suggests today's torture will be more sophisticated than yesterday's crude audio and visual manipulation."I don't consent to any of this," I tell him, though I know consent isn't a factor he concerns himself with."Your consent was provided by law when you were classified as a potential threat," Dr. Gorian replies smoothly. "Today's evaluations will help us understand how dimensional exposure affects family attachment stability."Suddenly his meaning becomes crystal clea

    Rhett My laptop chimes with an email from Harper: Found contact information for 23 affected families. Most eager to coordinate legal challenges. Some interested in more direct action.That’s good news. Families whose patience with legal remedies has been exhausted by months of loved ones disappearing into government custody and they’re ready to fight back.I'm considering how to respond when the mate bond suddenly blazes to life with intensity I haven't felt since the day after Brynlee's rescue. Through it, I can sense her location, her fear, her desperate need to stay strong for our unborn child.They're hurting her, I realize with crystal clarity. Right now, they're doing something that's causing her pain.My connection to Brynlee is strong enough that I can actually feel echoes of her distress—not physical pain exactly, but emotional agony that cuts deeper than any injury. They're using psychological pressure, probably showing her fabricated evidence or threatening people she love

    RhettThe house feels wrong without her.It's been three days since they took Brynlee, and I'm sitting at our kitchen table surrounded by laptops, legal documents, and contact lists for affected families across twelve states. Dr. Chen and Harper have been coordinating media outreach while Raymond handles the legal framework for challenging federal overreach. On paper, we're building something that could actually force change.But all I can think about is how Brynlee used to sit in the chair across from me, planning our days over morning coffee while Maya chattered about school projects.Empty, Kian whines, pressing against my consciousness with grief that feels like a physical wound. Pack is broken. Territory is wrong without mate.It’s almost worse, losing her again after just getting her back. My wolf doesn't understand legal strategies or media campaigns. He understands that our pregnant mate has been taken by people who mean her harm, and every instinct is screaming to hunt them d

    Brynlee"That's enough for the neurological mapping," Dr. Gorian decides. "Let's move on to cardiac monitoring."The cardiac equipment is more familiar—standard medical technology designed to measure heart rate, blood pressure, and electrical activity. But as they attach electrodes to my chest, I realize that pregnancy affects all of these measurements in ways that might be detectable to someone looking for unusual patterns.Stay calm, I tell myself. Stress will only make the readings more abnormal.But staying calm is impossible when every beep and display could reveal the secret I'm trying to protect. My heart rate is elevated from anxiety, my blood pressure reflects the stress of captivity, and I have no idea whether the subtle changes of early pregnancy are visible on their monitors."Interesting," one of the technicians observes, studying the readouts. "Your resting heart rate is higher than typical for someone your age and fitness level.""I'm stressed about being held prisoner,
