He couldn't have been more than three years old."Who's this little menace?"

I was helping in the kitchen.""Nonsense," Mom said , resting the back of her hand against the little boy's forehead. "Let him run around. As long as he doesn't knock over my figurines, we're perfectly fine.""How are you, handsome? What's your name?""Maverick," he replied."Oh? That's a strong name," Mom said, smiling up at Isabella.I wasn't looking until now and recognized the boy's mother as the same girl who'd walked straight into me.She seemed about my sister's a

Twenty-five Years LaterIsabella POV"My son is burning up. Please help him!"I rushed into the pack medical center, clutching my four-year-old tighter against my chest. He cried in my arms, his skin so hot it burned against mine.The hospital receptionist looked me over from head to toe before her gaze settled on Maverick's flushed face."And why haven't you brought him in sooner?" she asked.The words caught in my throat.Maverick had been sick for three days. I had spent every one of them begging my father and stepmother Gwen to let me use the family ID card. They refused. They knew the hospital wouldn't treat us without it, and stepmother Gwen would rather watch my son die than let anyone in this pack discover I was the product of her husband's affair.The receptionist waited. She expected me to reach into my pocket and hand over the card."I... don't have one."Her forehead creased. "What do you mean? Whose family do you belong to?"My heart sank. If I said my father's name, they

Lisa pov Cameron and I stayed in each other's arms. I had no idea how long we stood there. We kissed, I cried, and every emotion I could possibly feel crashed over me. Shock. Relief. Joy. Love. After everything we'd survived, he was finally standing here, and he was truly mine."It's real," he said, cupping my face as he laughed. He kissed my forehead, my cheeks, the corners of my eyes, wiping away my tears between kisses. "I still can't believe it. Somebody pinch me."I pinched his arm."Ouch." He laughed even harder and pulled me back into his arms. "I walked right into that one."I smiled through my tears."I love you, Lisa," he said. "I love you with everything in me. And I can't wait to show you off to the world."I looked past him.Mom and Kieran stood near the foyer, smiling quietly as they watched us.

Lisa POVThe last month felt like a strange, quiet dream.Everything just... worked.We were finally through the worst of it. I was in the last stage of my pregnancy, which meant I had the grace of a refrigerator on legs. Everything ached, my feet hated me, and I treated every chair like a lifelong friend. I was tired after doing almost anything, but for the first time in months, hope didn't feel like a mistake.Mom did everything she could to keep me calm. Dr. Harry checked on me almost every day, and whenever fear crept back in, they always found a way to chase it away.“I trust the daughters,” Mom said. "If they could help Cameron after everything he went through, they can help you too."I sighed."I hope you're right."Tomorrow, Cameron and I would finally see each other again. His purification was over. Weeks of rituals, isolation, and endless rules had kept us apart. I missed the little things more than I'd expected; the way everything felt steadier when he was close.The waitin

Lisa“What’s wrong with him?” I whispered to my mom as we watched Alpha Kieran stare into the distance from the terrace.“I don’t know. He’s been this way since he returned. Perhaps he received bad news.”My heart skipped. “You know you don’t have to hide anything from me. If this is about Cameron,
