Reborn on my wedding day Chapter 20 – Only Hold
Ethan was taken on a Wednesday afternoon.Not kidnapped — not yet, that came later. On this Wednesday he was ambushed on the east boundary trail by two South Ridge wolves who had crossed the territorial line, roughed up badly enough to need the clinic, and left there with a message carved into the trail marker beside him: Send her out or we finish it.Cal found him. Cal carried him back.Claire heard the commotion from the clinic and was out the door before anyone came to get her, some instinct she couldn't name pulling her toward the main entrance at the exact moment Cal came through it with Ethan in his arms.She went cold and then she went very, very still."Clinic," she said. Not loudly. "Now."She worked for an hour and forty minutes. Broken wrist, two cracked ribs, a deep laceration along his left shoulder that had missed anything vital by a margin that she refused to calculate because the calculating could wait for later. Ethan was conscious through most of it, jaw set, not cry
Reborn on my wedding day Chapter 19 – What Ethan Knows
Ethan came to find her on a Sunday evening, which was when he did his serious talking. She had noticed this about him in adulthood — he was their mother's son in the way he moved around difficult things first, the way he took his time with the approach and then said everything directly once he got there.She was on the stone bench in the east garden, the same one she had been sitting on when Derek appeared three weeks ago. The evening was mild. The garden smelled like the last of the season's herbs and cool earth and the first edge of coming autumn.Ethan sat beside her. He pulled at a thread on the knee of his jeans. This was the circling phase.She waited."You're in love with him," Ethan said.She kept her eyes on the tree line. "We're talking about this now?""Someone has to." He looked at her sideways. "You're not going to bring it up yourself. You'll just keep treating his back every morning and reading in the same room every night and looking at each other when the other one is
Reborn on my wedding day Chapter 18 – His Name Over Everything
Vanessa's move came on a Thursday morning, and it was the most elegant thing she had ever done.Claire gave her that much, grimly, as she stood in Julian's office looking at the complaint document that his lawyer had forwarded at seven AM. It was clean. It was detailed. It had three witnesses attached, all of them South Ridge pack members who had reportedly seen Claire redirect pack supply deliveries, misuse her clinic access codes, and divert discretionary household resources to undisclosed purposes — all of it adding up to a formal accusation of misappropriation of pack property within her first month in North Ridge.None of it had happened. Every detail was fabricated with enough specific texture to sound credible to anyone who didn't know the actual supply logs, the actual access records, the actual inventory Claire had spent two weeks carefully cataloguing. Vanessa had done her research. She had found the gaps in what an outsider would know and built her lie into those gaps preci
Reborn on my wedding day Chapter 17 – The Leak
The insider was a young pack member named Cole.Not Derek Cole — no relation. A twenty-two-year-old who had been with North Ridge for eight months, who had a job in the supply yard and a key to the clinic annex because he did the Wednesday morning restocking. A young man with a gambling problem and a debt to someone connected to South Ridge, and those were the kinds of levers Derek knew how to find and pull without leaving fingerprints on anything.Claire had figured it out from the supply logs.She had gone through them the morning after finding the note, not looking for anything specific, just looking — the way she had learned to look in her first life, when the only information she had access to was whatever Derek let within reach and she had learned to read everything sideways. The clinic restocking schedule showed that the Wednesday morning annex access happened between seven and seven forty-five. The note had been placed between the gauze boxes. The gauze was restocked on Wednes
Reborn on my wedding day Chapter 16 – Not Like This
She kissed him.She put her hand against his chest — the left side, over the scar she had been treating every morning for three weeks, the skin she knew better now than any map — and she pushed up on her toes and she kissed him. Not a soft question. A statement. The kind that meant: I've decided, and this is the direction I've decided in.He kissed her back for three seconds.Three seconds of his hand at her jaw and his mouth on hers and the wall solid behind her and everything that had been pulling between them for a month landing all at once in a small hallway in the North Ridge pack house.Then he stopped.He pulled back — not far, just enough — and put his forehead against hers, his breathing coming uneven in a way she had only heard from him once before, on the treatment bench with her hands on the wound he had been carrying for eight years alone. His eyes were closed."Julian—""Not like this," he said.She went still. "What?"He lifted his head and looked at her. His hand was s
Reborn on my wedding day Chapter 15 – Choose
Derek showed up on a Tuesday.No warning. No call. He simply appeared at the North Ridge pack house gate in the late afternoon, and because the gate guard was new and did not yet know to turn away South Ridge Alphas on sight, he was inside the courtyard before anyone thought to tell Julian.Claire was in the garden when she heard his voice.She had been sitting on the low stone bench by the east wall, reading, using the last of the afternoon light before the clinic's evening session. She heard Derek's voice from the main entrance — the particular carrying quality of it, that public-Alpha projection he used when he wanted to be heard and managed — and her whole body recognized it before her mind caught up, an old, involuntary response like flinching from heat.She set the book down and stood.She did not flinch.He found her in the garden two minutes later, and for a moment he just stood at the garden entrance looking at her — at the dark dress she wore, at the silver ring, at the way
