    Noah My eyes track Cassandra as she goes through the door to find Liam. But the rest of me stays rooted in the plastic chair, as if holding perfectly still will expunge the guilt swirling like a cyclone in my gut.To be honest, I’m not even sure what the guilt is for. Could be the few brief seconds I considered sending her away instead of helping her. Or it could be the fact I walked her over here, polite but technically not necessary, then to make matters worse, I stayed, like some kind of emotional support Alpha, all while Piper sits alone wondering why I left her to hang out with my ex-mate.Unfortunately, my list of grievances is too long to pick just one. I should go back to my quarters. Dr. Lukas has the situation under control, which was never truly in doubt. Liam is stable. There is nothing left for me to do here that couldn't be done by anyone—a pack administrator, a medical staff member, any warm body available to sit in a waiting area if one is needed. Which it’s really n

    Cassandra "I'll call Dr. Lukas." Noah pulls out his phone and dials while I force myself to breathe.He's already moving before the call ends—telling me to bring Liam to the medical wing, already ahead of me in the corridor, already making things happen with the efficiency that is just who he is when something needs to be done. And I’ve never been more thankful for it. I follow, Liam's head still on my shoulder.I hear, behind me, Piper's voice. "Noah—""I'll explain later," he cuts her off, a hint of impatience in his tone if I’m not mistaken. "I've got to—""Go," she sighs, clearly displeased with his choice to go with me. "Just go."I don't look back. I can’t own her insecurities right now. Little does she know, I have enough for both of us. The medical wing is quiet and cold and Dr. Lukas arrives faster than I’d dared hope. She has the composed quality of a doctor who has seen her share of emergencies and knows how to move through them without adding unnecessary urgency to the a

    CassandraLiam is fine at dinner. I know this, because if he weren’t, it would be about the only thing that could drag my attention away from my conversation with Noah earlier today. I mean, what the actual fuck?! Who does he think he is? I’ve done everything he’s asked of me. I play by his rules. I do my best to stay the hell out of his way. And he let me.But now that I’m slowly inching toward some semblance of happiness, he won’t stay out of mine. Well that’s bullshit! I fucked up, I admit that, but does it mean I have to pay for it forever? He seems happy with Piper. If he still feels the bond even a fraction as much as I do, he has to know that guts me. Why can’t he take that for the win it is and leave me the hell alone?I force my attention back to my son, who deserves it infinitely more than Noah does. He eats most of his plate—there's a negotiation with Mara about dessert that he wins on the technical grounds that he finished his vegetables, which is honestly some kind of mi

    Noah The next morning I run into her again. Because of course I do. Just us—the kind of unfortunate timing that seems to plague my existence lately.Do not open your mouth, I tell myself."I saw you last night," I blurt out anyway.She jerks to a stop, looking startled."I know. Jack invited me." She shrugs like that explains everything."You want to tell me what that is?" The words are already out. I can hear how they sound. I can't stop them."What what is?" She looks genuinely perplexed."You and Morrow." I try to keep the growl out of my tone but I’m not sure I succeed. She looks at me steadily. Not defensive. More like a deer staring down a hunter, wondering if she should run. "C-, coffee," she stutters. "A few times.""He's a good warrior," I repeat. "Solid. Reliable." I'd said this to her already, yesterday morning, and I'm saying it again because apparently I'm going to do this. "He doesn't know what he's in the middle of." I hold her gaze, glaring at her accusingly. "You're

    NoahAre you fucking kidding me? Why can’t I seem to go anywhere, in my own fucking home, without seeing them? I’m just walking down the hall, to my own Goddess-damned pack event and there they are. My first thought—before I can stop it, before any of the control I've been practicing has a chance to engage—is: she's laughing. Not the polite, practiced version reserved for social occasions either. Not the timid chuckles she offers the pack members who've started to warm to her. The real kind—surprised, unguarded, the kind that changes her face completely because she’s relaxed enough to let it.I've never seen that before.I don't like finding out it exists because of Jack Morrow.They're not even doing anything. That's the part that makes it so much worse. He’s not even touching her and it still pisses me the fuck off.If there were something concrete—if they were touching, if the body language were unambiguous—I'd have something to focus all this untethered rage on. But no, it's just

    CassandraJack comes back to walk me out at the end of day. It’s really becoming a thing he does now—him deciding he's in my orbit and is acting accordingly without making a declaration of it. We walk through the corridor, talking about something of no importance, and we stop at the exterior door.I turn around. He leans in and presses a kiss to my cheek the way he always does. And I’m not sure what makes this time different from all the others, but I find myself wanting more. This time I turn my head and brush my lips against his. It’s soft, innocent, light as a feather. But it feels really nice so I do it again. “Cassie?” He leans back just far enough to look in my eyes and I read the question in his. “Kiss me, Jack.” I say in answer. “For real this time.”He doesn’t hesitate, crushing his lips to mine. Jack kisses me like he can’t get enough, nipping and licking, dominating. He doesn’t wait for permission before slipping his tongue inside and tangling it with mine. “Fuck, you ta

    SkyeI press forward, though I'm not even sure which direction forward is anymore.At some point, my wolf stops talking.The silence inside me is worse than the howling wind.I'm alone now. Truly alone. Just me and the storm and the cold that's seeping into places I didn't know could go numb.I can

    Skye Cassandra turns, and if I didn't know better, I'd think the guilt on her face was genuine. "Skye. I'm so sorry, this must look—""What is this?" I repeat, louder now.Jaxon moves past me, his expression hard. "It's temporary. Cassandra and Liam need a place to stay until we can arrange somethi

    Skye I want to believe Noah. God, I want to believe that some part of Jaxon actually cares. But I've spent three years reading meaning into empty gestures, and I can't do it anymore."The elders won't let him cast you aside," Noah continues. "You've earned their respect. More than that—you've earne

    Skye The words drop into the silence like stones into still water.Jaxon's eyes narrow. "What did you just say?""You heard me." My hands are steady now, even as my heart splinters. "Whatever sick arrangement you and Cassandra have planned, count me out. I won't be part of this.""You don't mean th
