The first thing that hits me when I tumble through the dimensional tear is the smell of home. Pine trees and rich earth and the familiar scent markers of pack territory. After six months of silver emptiness where nothing smelled quite right, the intensity of it is almost overwhelming.

The second thing that hits me is Rhett's arms, solid and warm and absolutely real. I press my face against his chest and breathe him in—his cologne mixed with sweat, the underlying scent that's purely him, the pack bonds that tie him to family and territory. Everything I've been desperately missing for six endless months.

"Is it really you?" he whispers against my hair, and I can hear the disbelief in his voice. Like he's afraid I might disappear if he acknowledges I'm actually here.

"It's really me," I tell him, pulling back just enough to see his face. He looks older, worn down by grief in a way that makes my heart ache. There are new lines around his eyes, a tightness to his mouth that wasn't

    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

    RhettBrynlee 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

    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

    BrynleeOur house comes into view—a modest two-story with a wraparound porch and flower boxes that Maya insisted on planting last spring. It looks exactly the same, but seeing it after six months of silver emptiness makes me tear up unexpectedly."Maya's going to be so excited," Rhett says softly. "She never stopped asking when you were coming home."Guilt twists in my stomach. My baby girl spent six months thinking her mother was dead, and there's nothing I can do to give her back that time. Nothing I can do to erase the confusion and grief she must have experienced.Mrs. Peterson, our elderly neighbor who sometimes babysits, meets us at the door. Her eyes widen when she sees me, and she presses one hand to her heart."Oh my goodness," she breathes. "Oh, honey, we all thought... How is this possible?""It's a long story," Rhett says diplomatically. "Where's Maya?""In the living room, watching cartoons. She's been asking about you every ten minutes since you left."I can hear my daug

    Rhett "It's too dangerous," Finley says finally. "Rhett, I understand why you want to believe she's alive, but—""She is alive." The conviction in my voice stops her mid-sentence. "And she's trying to get home to us. I'm not going to abandon her.""Even if it means risking your own life? What about Maya?"The question hits home because it's the same one I've been asking myself. What happens to my daughter if this goes wrong? But then I think about Maya asking if I'm going to look for Mommy, about her simple faith that daddies fix things that are broken."Maya deserves to have her mother back," I say. "And Brynlee deserves to know that we didn't give up on her."Finley looks like she wants to argue further, but Dane places a hand on her shoulder. "What do you need from us?" he asks.The offer surprises me. Dane has always been protective of Finley, cautious about anything that might put her at risk. If he's willing to help, it means he either believes I'm right or he thinks I need to s
