The heavy curtains in the clinic room shut out the morning sun. The space stayed a dull gray.

I opened my eyes. A throb started at the base of my skull. It was a tugging feeling that made the corners of the ceiling move. I pushed my palms against the mattress and forced my body up.

Damn it.

I sat in the chair and let my head fall back. The pressure stayed. Every breath felt slow. My vision lagged every time I moved my eyes.

I looked at the monitor on the wall. The green line of Evangeline's hear

  • TEMPORARY MATES, PERMANENT CRAVINGS    Four hundred and thirty seven

    Emma POVMy knees trembled against the stone floor, and Wesley’s harsh words hung over me. I sucked in a shaky breath, forcing my hands to unlatch from his leg.He looked at me as if he were disappointed, and even then, I could tell he was trying hard to hide how afraid he was that this could blow up. He had every right to be furious. I had come into his home without warning, only to disrupt his evening, confessed to forging his authority, and ended it with a desperate threat.I was losing my head, and losing my head right now wasn't going to get Alexander help."I'm sorry," I choked out, wiping the tears from my cheeks as I dragged myself back up. "I'm sorry, Wesley. I just... I don't know what to do anymore. I'm completely out of options."Isabella stepped between us, giving Wesley a pleading look while wrapping her arm around my shoulders."Sweetheart, please, take it easy on her," she said to Wesley, as though she were afraid to speak. "Look at the state she's in."Anita looked ge

    Emma POVMy hands were shaking so hard I could barely keep my steering wheel straight.Every time my phone buzzed on the dashboard, my heart leaped into my throat. Lucas’s name flashed across the screen over and over. Right under his, Anita’s calls kept popping up. I ignored all of them. I couldn't pick up. If I heard Lucas tell me one more detail about Alexander lying bleeding in a cold prison cell, I knew I would completely lose my mind right behind the wheel.Nausea rolled through my stomach in violent waves, and my vision blurred around the edges as I slammed my foot on the gas.I was running out of time.The lies were collapsing. I couldn't fix this by myself anymore. I couldn't play administrator while my mate was getting executed in the dark.I took the turn onto Wesley’s estate driveway way too fast, gravel spraying against the underside of my car. I threw the vehicle into park, taking deep, ragged breaths in the front seat.Pull yourself together, Emma.Don't run in like a cr

    Alexander POVEverything was a blurry haze when my eyes cracked open.The overhead light burned into my retinas, making my head throb. I was lying flat on a hard cot in the prison medical wing, the smell of antiseptic heavy in the air.Memory of the door creeping open rushed back, the masked bastards who tried to kill me.I looked down at myself. I was back in human form, wearing thin prison pants. The guards must have hit me with a tranquilizer after they dragged the attackers off me, forcing my body to drop the wolf shape while I was knocked out cold.My wolf seemed completely uninjured, but my human body was an absolute mess. Thick white bandages were wrapped tightly around my left ribs where the knife had sliced deep.But that wasn't the pain making my breathing shallow. It was the burning behind my sternum. The tightness I had felt earlier had morphed into a razor-sharp heartburn that radiated outward with every heartbeat. It felt like someone had poured liquid fire directly into

    Charlie POVThe digital feed on my desk held steady. I sat in the monitoring room of the estate, watching Emma emerge through the vault's open iron gates, black bars framing her as she stepped back into the estate.She thought she was slick with her excuse of log sheets while I sat upstairs like a fool.I had watched every second of it on camera. She stood in front of the empty filing cabinet, panic rising on her face when she realized Alpha Edward's trial dossier wasn't there.I leaned back in my chair, rubbing the bridge of my nose as the pieces started clicking into place.Nobody requests archive clearance for a border tax audit. Emma was hunting for evidence to clear Alexander, the bastard rogue currently sitting in Iron Wells prison.It made my stomach turn. I had known Emma for years. She was practically allergic to chaos. People like that don't just up and get pregnant with an "unknown" father. They don't risk their entire reputation on random hookups.Two days ago, Zachary had

    Emma POVMy morning started with my head buried in the toilet bowl.The morning sickness wasn't just bad. It was turning into a physical nightmare. Every smell in the house made my stomach flip, and the weird sensation in my midsection was getting harder to ignore. It felt like my skin was stretching, accompanied by a dull ache that made it impossible to stand up straight for too long.Anita stood in the doorway of my bathroom, leaning against the frame with her arms crossed. "You look like hell, Emma. We're going to the clinic today, whether you want to or not.""I'm fine," I wheezed, wiping my mouth with a wet towel. "It's just standard pregnancy stuff.""No, it isn't," Anita said flatly. "You haven't kept a full meal down in two days. If you keep ignoring this, she's going to call a private pack doctor to the house. You want them asking questions about who the father is?"That shut me up. My parents knew I was pregnant, but I had lied through my teeth and told them I didn't know wh

    Alexander POVSix days left. Six days until the trial, and there was still no sign of who we needed to make my innocence weightier.The powerlessness of being trapped within these four walls, not knowing what those outside were doing or how far they had gone, was enough to drive me mad.Lucas was terrific at finding people, but he was a rogue, and without help from Emma, it would be almost impossible to find the Cook. Emma had assured me when she visited that she would do whatever she could to get me out of here, and I was banking on it with everything I had.They moved us out of the cell block at noon for a surprise search. The guards lined all of us up in the main hallway while they flipped our mats and searched our stuff. Kobe's eyes met mine, and I dodged through the crowd to reach him while acting as if I wasn't heading his way. After our last separation, it was obvious the head guards were keeping a close eye on me.Kobe leaned sideways just enough. "Six days, huh?""Yeah," I re

    The wooden floor of the community center felt cold beneath my sandals.“I’ll volunteer.”A girl in the back row let out a loud snort. Beside me, Sasha’s hand clamped onto my wrist, her fingers digging into my skin to pull me back down. I did not look at her. I knew that if I met her eyes, the logic

    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
