The Seventh Day

On the fifth night, Adrian showed her a photo of Calder Ridge.

Harmony took his phone and stared at the image. A lodge of stone and timber sat against a backdrop of pines and mountains, golden windows glowing beneath a winter sky. Snow gathered along the roofline and softened the edges of the trees. It looked expensive, yes, but not cold. It looked rooted. Hidden. Alive.

“This is yours?”

“My family’s.”

“And the pack’s?”

“Yes.”

She zoomed in on the main lodge, then dragged the im

  • Seven-Day Claiming   The Partnership

    Adrian took the proposal seriously.Harmony had expected him either to resist because she was involved or agree too quickly because she was the one presenting it.He did neither.He brought Margot, the finance director, the conservation lead, and two council members into a meeting at the lodge and became the businessman Harmony had met on the plane.Focused. Careful. Sharp.And very obviously mated.Adrian sat beside Harmony rather than at the head of the table. He did not interrupt her presentation or answer questions directed at her, but his hand rested against the back of her chair or occasionally touched the small of her back when someone leaned too far across the table.Harmony pretended not to notice.She noticed every time.She presented the proposal exactly as she would have anywhere else.Market position. Guest experience. Revenue potential. Brand integrity. Controlled visibility.“Narrative protection,” Harmony said, advancing the slide.One of the council members frowned.“

  • Seven-Day Claiming   Pack Lands

    Adrian did not hold anything back.They remained in Cabin 12 long after the fire burned low, Harmony curled against him while he filled in the six months she had only experienced through silence, dreams, and fragments over the phone.He told her about Daniel.Not only that he had died, but how.How the Black Moon pack had come onto Calder land under the pretense of peace and gone directly for the leadership. Daniel. Justin. Mark. Alpha, Beta, Gamma. How quickly the pack bond had shattered afterward, leaving everyone frightened, disoriented, and struggling to organize while an enemy moved through their home.He told her about the safe room. About Daniel forcing Isabel and the children inside, locking the door behind him because he knew his mate would have followed him into battle if given the chance.Then he told Harmony what happened when Daniel died.Harmony listened without moving as Adrian described Isabel screaming, her body breaking beneath the severed mate bond, her wolf dying i

  • Seven-Day Claiming   Negotiations

    Adrian carried Harmony through the door of Cabin 12 and kicked it shut behind them.For a moment, neither of them moved.He was still holding her, one arm beneath her knees, the other around her back, his breathing even despite the fact that he had crossed half the property without slowing.Harmony looked up at him. The hunger she had seen outside was still there, but something else had joined it. Disbelief. As though he had gotten her this far and still expected to wake up.“Adrian.”That was all it took. He set her on her feet, one hand immediately sliding behind her head as he kissed her.There was nothing tentative about the first few seconds. Six months of restraint crashed into her at once—his mouth, his hands, the rough sound in his throat when Harmony grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him closer.Then Adrian stopped. Not completely. His forehead rested against hers, his hand still tangled gently in her hair, but he drew back enough to search her face.Harmony knew the

  • Seven-Day Claiming   Cabin 12

    For one impossible second, neither of them moved.Adrian forgot how to breathe. The world had done impossible things before. It had given him a mate on an airplane. It had let him touch forever in a New York hotel room. It had taken his brother and handed him a pack in the same brutal moment.But this was different.Harmony. Here. On Calder land. Walking toward him not as a dream, not as a voice, not as the ache he had earned and carried, but as flesh and breath and fire and life.His knees hit the ground. He did not mean to fall. His body simply stopped pretending it could carry the weight of seeing her.One hand pressed against his chest where the bond had lived as an open wound for six months. The other braced against the cold earth.Harmony stopped for half a heartbeat.Then she ran.The sound that broke from Adrian was not quite human.He reached for her as she dropped to her knees in front of him, and then she was in his arms. Real. Warm. Shaking. Her scent filled him until the

  • Seven-Day Claiming   Harmony

    Adrian walked the north trail at dawn because silence was easier before the lodge woke.The war, if it could be called that, was over. No formal declaration. No clean ending. Just months of pressure, negotiations, boundary enforcement, council demands, and the slow, exhausting work of making enemies understand that Calder Ridge had not become weak because Daniel Calder was dead.Adrian had held the pack. Barely at first. Then with both hands.He was thinner now. Stronger in some ways. Sharper in others. The grief had carved him down to what could survive leadership, and the pack had finally stopped looking at him as Daniel’s younger brother.They looked at him as Alpha. He had won what needed winning. Protected what needed protecting.Kept Harmony out of danger.And lost her.That was the truth beneath every victory.The morning air was cold enough to sting. It moved through the pines and over the trail, carrying damp earth, old snow, stone, cedar, and the faint smoke from the lodge c

  • Seven-Day Claiming   Montana

    Montana smelled like pine before Harmony even reached Calder Ridge.She noticed it the moment she stepped outside the airport and into air so clean it almost felt aggressive. London came layered in rain, stone, traffic, coffee, perfume, and crowds. Montana came at her with space, cold, mountains, and pine threaded through all of it.Harmony stood beside her suitcase waiting for the rental car shuttle, staring toward the mountains in the distance.This was Adrian’s world. Not the forest from her dreams exactly, but close enough that her body seemed to recognize it. The bond stirred beneath her ribs for the first time in months with something stronger than the quiet ache she had learned to live around.Hope.Harmony shut that down immediately. This was work. She repeated it several times during the drive. The proposal deck sat in her bag. Penelope had given her a detailed checklist. Meetings were already scheduled with Calder Ridge’s operations, hospitality, conservation, and finance te
