TEMPORARY MATES, PERMANENT CRAVINGS Four hundred and sixty four
Alexander POVI stood strapped to the gurney in front of Elizabeth’s headstone, my lungs straining against the air.One of the Root Daughters stepped beside me. "Do not look directly at the gravestone, Alexander. Say Elizabeth's name once. Tell her to leave you alone. If you feel a sudden pull, stay standing. They will try to scare you, but you are stronger than whatever they throw at you."My eyes flicked between the Daughter and the mound of dirt. I didn't understand how a dead woman was supposed to hurt me. A thought crossed my mind. What if she clawed her way out of the dirt and attacked me? I wasn't someone who spooked easily, but standing on cursed ground made my skin crawl.Alpha Cameron stepped up beside me. "She is dead, Alexander. The dead have no power unless the living hand it over. Stand firm until they break the curse."I kept my mouth shut, swallowing hard. The Daughters held a stone bowl filled with water and white chalk. They handed me a small cup of water mixed with

"What's with that dreamy smile?" Anita asked, throwing a duvet over my feet. The couch in the sitting room had become my favorite spot."What do you mean?" I said, feeling my cheeks flush as I tried to deny that I was smiling."Don't do that." She wagged her finger at me. "Since we returned from the hospital, you've been wearing that wistful smile.""I can't help it," I said, chuckling as she sat beside me. Her nearness made me blurt out the truth. "I just can't believe he's awake. And he told me he loved me."She let out a fake gag, as though the word *love* were an abomination. "Well, I get that, but smiling this much is starting to look weird," she said, even though she was smiling too.We settled into a comfortable silence as she muted the movie playing in the background."So what happens when all this is over? Have you thought about it?" she asked.I managed a shrug. "I haven't really had the time to." I knew she was referring to the obvious next steps, the peace after the storm.

Emma POV "A light massage around the chest wall might help relieve some of his pain and also prevent him from locking his ribs in place."I hung on to Doctor Harry's every word as Wesley and I stood near the station outside Alexander's room. Occasionally, I turned to observe the two root Daughters standing on either side of his bed. There was no sound other than the steady beeping of Alexander's heart monitor."He woke up on his own," I said to Doctor Harry, peeling my gaze off Alexander. "That has to mean his body is fighting it off.""Of course," Doctor Harry said. "But he's in so much pain, and we can't overstretch or assume he's healthy enough yet."He gave Wesley a pat on the shoulder before heading inside. Wesley, who had been giving me a weird look, now smirked down at me."Now that your mate is awake," he said, exaggerating the word ‘mate’, "maybe you can stop blowing up my phone every twenty minutes and let me have at least one good night."I rolled my eyes. "It's not over.

Alexander POVMy body felt like it was buried under wet concrete and refused to answer the signals my brain tried to send. A metallic taste coated my tongue. I hated it. It seemed to leech into my blood, leaving a burn in the back of my throat.I tried to lift my right arm, but it was dead weight, completely unresponsive against the mattress.Panic spiked through my chest. I forced my attention downward, shifting my left hand instead. My fingers twitched, catching on the hospital sheets.I forced my eyelids open. The harshness of the fluorescent lights stabbed at my eyes, causing me to wince.A sweet scent, one I'd recognize even if I were thrown into the darkest pits, hit me.My mate.Emma was slumped over the edge of the mattress, her forehead resting near my hand. Seeing her in that uncomfortable position made my heart flutter and made me wonder how long we had been here.Hours? Days at most?My fingers brushed against the loose strands of her hair. She stirred, making me instantly

Emma POVThe search for Luna Elizabeth's grave was going nowhere.The two Root-ranked Daughters had come to the hospital that morning and reviewed the updates. Meridian had deliberately hidden her body outside pack grounds. Veronica had already confirmed that Elizabeth wasn't buried in Alpha Edward's family cemetery, but she had no idea where the cult had taken the corpse.Dr. Harry was looking into advanced surgical grafting techniques, trying to see if they could physically shift the Meridian growth away from Alexander's heart. It was growing like a tumor, slowly expanding toward his chest wall. If it wrapped completely around his heart, it would choke him to death.The only true fix was transferring the curse back to the living anchor, and I already knew that anchor was Zachary. The man was still strutting around under pack arrest, acting completely innocent while his loyalists tried to stall the tribunal. I hadn't attended the last hearing, but hearing how his people defended him

Zachary POVEnforcement guards were posted at my front gates again. They strolled around the perimeter, reminding me every second that I was under a ban.I was in my study, in the middle of a meeting with my pack council. My Beta, Xander, leaned against the table, scowling."Alpha Kieran is clearly biased," Xander grumbled, shaking his head. "Alexander's mate is connected to his family line. We need to push back hard before the next hearing.""We stick to the plan," I said, running a hand over my face.I tried to act calm, but inside I was restless. Mina had been gone since the previous night. I worried that we would be sanctioned for leaving the pack without formal documentation, but Mina had assured me she had it covered.Before she left, she casually mentioned that Kieran's enforcement team was digging around, looking for my mother's burial site.The thought made me gasp. "Why? What does my mother's grave have to do with this?"Mina smiled, as though my question were amusing."I'll

My father was screwing his secretary when I pushed his office door open. Wet slaps and grunts filled the room as he drove into her against the desk.My mother had spent three hours over the stove, squinting at a recipe she had memorized years ago. She packed my father's lunch and made me promise to

The Alpha house felt like I was entering it for the first time. Maids walked past me. Guards were posted at every corner, their eyes scanning the corridors. One thing was clear. Alpha Cameron was in the building.The four of us were in the main corridor like a line of silent competitors. Brianna had

LISA POVThe digital numbers on my alarm clock glowed a steady red. I watched them tick by from 5:59 to 6:00. My skin felt cold, and a dull ache rested at the back of my eyes after spending the night awake. I could hear the muffled sound of the television.I headed for the door. The living room was

CAMERON POVRage tightened in my ribs, making breathing feel like an effort. I turned away from my sister and mate and leaned against the wall. "I won't do it. I have no interest in this absurd contract, and nothing you say will change my mind."Nadia stepped closer and placed her hand between my sh
