The consent forms for Evangeline’s surgery were spread in front of me as I flipped through each page without really seeing the words.

My name went down where it was needed, signatures placed, and consent given. It felt, in that moment, as though I was signing her life away.

To make matters worse, Lisa’s voice stayed in my head and refused to fade, no matter how much I tried to ignore it. My gaze shifted to Evangeline, who was asleep on her bed, and it didn’t make any sense for them, for Frank

  • TEMPORARY MATES, PERMANENT CRAVINGS    One hundred and thirty five

    Lisa POVMy eyes stayed on the food tray in front of me. It was mashed potatoes with boiled chicken, covered with plastic and labeled with my name. I used my fork to lift a piece and poked at it without taking a bite.My mom laughed.“So now the hospital kitchen is part of the plot too?”“I don’t know,” I said. “Right now, anything feels possible.”She shook her head. “That’s not normal. You’re in a place that’s supposed to keep you alive.”“And I still ended up like this.”She didn’t answer immediately.“If someone did this, then it was planned. This didn’t just happen.”I kept my eyes on the tray.“Or,” I said, “there’s nothing to find, and this is just my body failing at the worst possible time.”She looked at me. “You don’t believe that.”I shrugged.The IV line stayed in my wrist, the last bag almost finished. The doctors said they had flushed out whatever was in my system. I felt better. The fever was gone. I could eat. I could sit up without feeling weak. But none of that meant

    Lisa POVThe rain slashed violently against the hospital window, fat streaks racing down the glass before breaking apart like my own fracturing thoughts. I lay curled on my side, staring at the watery lines, with nothing else to distract me from the restlessness I felt.I missed him.No ,“missed” was too pathetic for the storm raging in me. It was deeper than that. It felt like a raw craving that made my eyes burn. But admitting it felt dangerous and stupid. It had to be the pregnancy hormones twisting my mind, making me long for a man who belonged to someone else.There was nothing worth missing in Cameron. Nothing at all.My phone sat charging on the bedside table. I snatched it up and opened our old message thread before I could stop myself. The contrast was jarring. Early on, his texts had been blunt, no sugarcoating. Cold transactions between a powerful client and his paid surrogate. But somewhere along the line, the tone had shifted and became intimate as though we forgot we

To make matters worse, Lisa’s voice stayed in my head and refused to fade, no matter how much I tried to ignore it. My gaze shifted to Evangeline, who was asleep on her bed, and it didn’t make any sense for them, for Franklin and now Lisa, to accuse her of whatever imaginary thing they thought she had done. I knew Evangeline, she was my mate, and although she had been insecure lately because of my attachment toward Lisa, I knew that she was incapable of murder.When the nurse asked about Evangeline’s medical history, Luna Catherine and I answered at the same time. “She’s been sick all her life,” Luna Catherine said, while I said, “The symptoms started three years ago.” The nurse, confused, looked between both of

    Franklin Every suspicion I’d buried since the first moment I noticed something off about Evangeline was now crystallizing into reality.There was something wrong with her. Not just strange, sinister. Her hands were dirty. I could feel it in my bones. The evidence sat right in front of me, but the problem was tying it to her without leaving a gap she could exploit.Evangeline was intelligent. If I marched up to Cameron and told him I suspected his mate was capable of this, he would shut me down. He’d defend her. He’d call me paranoid. He’d choose her over me.After today, I was certain.I stayed in the doctor’s office, fluorescent lights buzzing overhead as I slid the lab results across his desk. They came from the hospital’s own lab, no one could claim forgery.“Will this affect the baby?” My voice came out rough.The doctor sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. “We hope not.
