My alarm went off early the next morning, pulling me out of a deep sleep. The early wake-up was necessary because I was far behind on work and needed to submit an article before my ten o’clock deadline.

The sun had not even risen yet when I climbed out of bed and slowly walked down the hallway to make coffee. As I returned to my room with a hot cup in my hand, I could hear Kael’s soft snoring coming from his bedroom.

After finishing the article and giving it a quick edit, I sent it to my editor

    “Don’t worry about this,” Vale said, gesturing toward his injured face. “Can we talk outside?”I didn’t need Vale to explain who had done that to him. I already knew.Varek.There was no doubt in my mind.I could still remember the annoyed expression on Varek’s face when he realized Vale had told me about the debt.“Outside,” I said as I stood up.I looked over at Elara and Kael.“Stay here. This won’t take long.”“Okay,” Elara replied, though both she and Kael looked concerned as I followed Vale out into the parking lot.The moment we were outside, some of the anger I had been holding back finally escaped.“Where is that motherfucker?” I hissed. “Tell me where he is, and I’ll give him a black eye of his own.”Vale shook his head and sighed.The sound was full of exhaustion.“Can we just get this over with? You don’t have to keep pretending to be the protective big brother.”“I’m not pretending, Vale,” I said, feeling hurt by his words.He waved a hand dismissively.“Enough. I’m fine,

    My neck actually popped because I turned so quickly.Orion was right.Kael was standing by a display of special shoelaces, but a small group of girls was gathered outside the store. They were whispering to each other, giggling, and pointing at him.I knew my son was handsome because he looked so much like his father, but this was different. Girls were openly staring at my baby. Even worse, he was only fourteen, and most of those girls looked at least sixteen years old.My protective instincts immediately flared up, and I wanted to chase every one of them away.“Everything is happening so quickly,” I said as the cashier handed me the bag containing the shoes. “I can barely keep up. One minute I had my little boy, and now, a few mornings later, I have a nearly grown man with girls practically drooling over him.”Orion laughed softly.“I remember you being pretty territorial over me back in the day when the same thing happened.”I scoffed.“Daisy Gillies was trying her hardest to get int

    My alarm went off early the next morning, pulling me out of a deep sleep. The early wake-up was necessary because I was far behind on work and needed to submit an article before my ten o’clock deadline.The sun had not even risen yet when I climbed out of bed and slowly walked down the hallway to make coffee. As I returned to my room with a hot cup in my hand, I could hear Kael’s soft snoring coming from his bedroom.After finishing the article and giving it a quick edit, I sent it to my editor along with an invoice. By the time I finished everything, it was almost nine in the morning.My phone suddenly vibrated.I looked at the screen, and my eyes widened in surprise.It was Gaige Parker.He was an old friend from the place where we had lived before moving back to Pinecrest Valley. Gaige was the alpha shifter of a nearby pack and had tried to fill a father-like role for Kael while he was growing up, although it had never really worked the way any of us had hoped.He was also a realto

    No matter what happened, I decided I would keep an open mind about everything. Maybe I wouldn’t end up liking the person Orion had become. If that happened, I figured I could simply reject him completely. That would break the bond between us and allow both of us to move on and find love with someone else. Even thinking about that possibility hurt far more than I ever imagined it would.Not wanting to get lost in my thoughts and all the questions filling my head, I went to find Kael. He was sitting on the couch watching a superhero movie. To me, all those bright costumes looked the same, and I could never remember who was who. If it wasn’t Superman, Batman, or Spiderman, I had absolutely no idea what character I was looking at.“Do you want me to order pizza for dinner?” I asked. “I know it’s a little early, but—”“Yeah!”I laughed softly. “Okay. I’ll order it.”While we waited for the pizza, I sat beside Kael and tried to follow the movie. From what I could understand, some villain wi

    I stood beside the window and watched Orion’s truck drive down the road until I could no longer see it. My mind was still overwhelmed by everything that had happened between us that afternoon.How could it be possible that we had remained connected for all those years? A small piece of our bond had stayed between us despite the distance and the passing years. Was that the reason I couldn’t completely hate him when I first saw him again? Maybe it was. As a human, there were many things I didn’t understand about something that was basically magic.“Are you okay?” Kael asked.Pulled out of my thoughts, I turned to look at him.“Yeah, I’m okay. Why?”“You’ve been standing there staring out the window for a long time.”“I’m going to my room. I need to call Stormy,” I said. Right now, she was the only person I felt I could talk to about everything that had happened.“Cool. Can I watch TV?”“That’s fine,” I replied distractedly as I walked toward my room, still trying to make sense of the da

    Jaxon and I exchanged a glance, and I decided there was no reason to hide anything anymore.“My father made mistakes that were far worse than drinking,” I said, and both Elara and Kael looked at me with complete attention. “After Selene and I left, things got bad for him very quickly. He became addicted to gambling. Mostly sports betting, from what I’ve discovered. I think he was searching for some kind of excitement or rush. If I’m being honest, it was probably his way of trying to feel something again. It didn’t end well for him. He wasn’t very good at it and lost more often than he won. During the last fifteen years, he spent almost all of the pack’s money.”“Not almost,” Jaxon said. “That’s the reason I came looking for you at the diner. I checked into it myself. Every pack bank account was in the negative until around eight months ago. The little money that is there now wasn’t obtained honestly.”I let out a heavy sigh. “I was worried that might be the case.”“Hold on.” Elara rai

    “You can tell me to fuck off right now, and I’ll still protect him,” I said. “No matter what happens. I’ll remain in his life or stay away, whatever you decide, but I’ll do everything I can to keep him safe from harm.”What I didn’t say was that because she had never been officially claimed, she wa

    The only sound inside the truck was the steady noise of the tires rolling along the road.A huge weight had finally been lifted from my chest, but it was quickly replaced by a suffocating feeling of dread.Elara pulled her hand away from mine, and my stomach immediately dropped.“You fucking asshol

    Orion shrugged.“I know. My idea was that he could serve as an interim alpha. He could keep order and stability in the pack until a new alpha from another family was chosen. After that, Vale could become the right hand of the new alpha, so to speak. The Blackthorne family would still keep some infl

    From the corner of my eye, I saw another person running across the parking lot toward the door.Fear instantly shot through me.Was this one of Varek’s enforcers rushing in to help him?Then the door flew open, and Jaxon came rushing inside.Both Orion and Kael froze when they saw him.Varek, still
