Cold realization spread through me piece by piece. I thought back to earlier, to Serah fetching me in panic and how I had found the wolf curled in bed instead of Krista. My stomach tightened. “When Serah brought me to Krista’s room earlier…” I said slowly, “when I found you there…”

The wolf sighed. “Yes. Krista’s body could no longer withstand the effects of the broken mate bond. She was deteriorating too quickly. I was trying to stabilize her.”

    Jacob*Cold realization spread through me piece by piece. I thought back to earlier, to Serah fetching me in panic and how I had found the wolf curled in bed instead of Krista. My stomach tightened. “When Serah brought me to Krista’s room earlier…” I said slowly, “when I found you there…”The wolf sighed. “Yes. Krista’s body could no longer withstand the effects of the broken mate bond. She was deteriorating too quickly. I was trying to stabilize her.”Images flashed through my mind in brutal succession of Krista writhing in pain on the bed, the violent tremors wracking her body. The desperation in those violet eyes right before she bit me. And suddenly everything clicked into place.My wolf spoke first. The fragility of the bond caused this, he realized aloud. You claimed us because there was no other choice.The silver wolf turned her gaze upon him. “At last,” she said dryly, “one of you understands.”I swallowed hard. “You fortified the bond,” I said quietly.“Yes.” Her stare beca

    Jacob*I closed my eyes. At once, my wolf came forward eagerly latching onto the connection left behind by the bite. The mind link formed almost immediately, smoother than it ever had before. It was as if some barrier had been shattered between us.One moment, I was seated on Krista’s bed with her unconscious in my arms. The next, I stood inside a mental replica of her room. Only, this version was stripped bare. There was no bed under my feet, no dresser against the wall, no curtains fluttering by the windows. Just endless empty space shaped vaguely like her chamber, pale and hollow as moonlight.Beside me stood my wolf, massive and dark-furred, his golden eyes narrowed sharply. Although Krista herself remained unconscious in the real world and did not stir in my arms, there came a grumpy voice inside the link.Why are you two bothering me? Krista’s wolf materialized before us.Her silver fur gleamed like fresh snow under the moonlight, her violet eyes fixed upon us with regal annoya

    Jacob*Through the pack link, I reached out sharply to Elder Lenore. The connection struck something drowsy and distant at first. Her mind felt fogged with sleep and disoriented. It was possible I had abruptly dragged her from rest. For a second, there was only vague confusion through the link before awareness suddenly sharpened.My Alpha, she said at once, fully alert now. What do you need?Come to Krista’s room immediately.I cut the link before she could ask questions. The silence that followed felt unbearable.Krista remained unconscious against me, limp in my arms. Whatever force had overtaken her earlier had drained every ounce of strength from her body. I adjusted her slightly against my chest, one hand braced carefully against her back while the other brushed damp strands of hair from her face.Her stillness unsettled me. Every few seconds, I found myself checking that she was still breathing, watching the slow rise and fall of her chest like a man afraid the next inhale migh

    Jacob*When I opened my eyes, I was no longer in Krista’s room. For one disorienting moment, I thought I was still unconscious and dreaming, because nothing around me made sense.There was no bed beneath me. No walls. No ceiling. No manor.There was only sky. Endless, impossible sky. Night stretched in every direction, vast and infinite, filled with stars so bright they looked alive. I was suspended within it, neither standing nor falling, my body somehow held aloft in the middle of the void. The air around me shimmered faintly silver, like moonlight reflected on water.I went utterly still.My chest no longer burned from Krista’s bite, though I could still remember the sensation vividly enough to make my skin crawl. My breathing sounded unnaturally loud in the stillness.What in the Goddess’s name—Then I looked down. Right where Krista had bitten me, directly above my heart, a thin red cord stretched outward from my chest.No, it was not a cord but a thread. It was so frayed and wo

    Jacob*There was a knock on my study door. Without looking up from the reports spread across my desk, I called for the knocker to come in. The door opened only slightly before Serah peeked her head through the gap. “Alpha,” she said softly. I set down the report I had been trying to read and for the past few minutes and looked at her properly. “What is it?”“You said to let you know when Luke left. He’s returned to the schoolhouse,” she informed me. “His break is over.”At once, my thoughts shifted back to Krista’s room, back to the enormous silver wolf sprawled possessively across the bed with her son tucked into her fur. “Did he eat before he returned?” I asked.Serah nodded quickly. “Yes, Alpha.”“Good.” I pushed the reports aside and rose from my desk. The papers slid haphazardly across the wood but I paid them little mind. I had not truly been concentrating on them anyway. Every other line I read dissolved into thoughts of Krista’s wolf, of her hostility and the sheer bitternes

    Jacob*Krista’s wolf, meanwhile, seemed wholly unconcerned by my reaction. Using her tail, she nudged Luke gently closer toward her enormous body until the boy was nearly swallowed by silver fur. Luke laughed delightedly and wrapped both arms around her neck in a hug.The sight did something strange to my chest.The wolf lowered her head beside him carefully, protective instinct radiating from her so strongly that even I could feel it. All the hostility she directed at me had vanished for the moment, replaced entirely by tenderness toward the child pressed against her side.Luke tilted his head back to peer up at her. “When will I shift?” he asked eagerly. “Will I look just like you?”There was such innocent excitement in his voice that despite everything weighing on me today, I felt another reluctant smile threaten.“You’ll probably shift for the first time around the age of ten,” I told him. “Until then, nobody knows what your wolf will look like. It stays a mystery.”Luke frowned

    KristaWhat had I expected? That Jacob would magically fall in love with me just because we’d spent a few years married? That he would look at me one day and suddenly see me, really see me, instead of the shadow I’d become in his life?I let out a bitter laugh, though it sounded more like a sob. Wh

    KristaAs I entered the house, the door creaked softly behind me, though the faint murmur of activity throughout the manor drowned out any noise I made. Before I could even take another step, one of the maids rushed toward me, her face flushed with anxiety as she fumbled with a small notepad in her

    Krista“And then there’s Liam,” she said, her tone dripping with drama. “I heard he’s been sneaking off to the human town again. You know what that means, don’t you?”I raised an eyebrow, leaning in just enough to show I was invested. “What does it mean?”Greta’s voice dropped even lower. “He’s see

    KristaI watched from a distance as Greta chased after her three boys, her voice carrying on the wind, strained and full of exhaustion. They were darting in every direction, little whirlwinds of energy, their laughter ringing out in the warm afternoon air. It was a familiar scene, one that made me
