FELIX

I wake with a slow, heavy feeling pressing against my head.

Damn it.

I only meant to lie down for a minute. Just long enough to get comfortable. Maybe long enough to bother Damian a little so he would stop focusing on his urge to kill the other pack.

If I could distract him, maybe he would calm down.

That was the plan.

Instead, I’m back here.

I’m sitting in a desk inside the same classroom again. The same place my mind keeps dragging me back to over and over.

Felix’s Nightmare Hall.

    ZARA The house is full for Christmas, and somehow we still keep finding space for more people. It doesn’t make sense, but it works. Every room is taken, every corner has someone in it.Our parents move through the crowd, talking, smiling, trying to keep up as they mix in with our pack and the ones who might soon become part of it.My mom doesn’t recognize most of the faces. I can tell. But she doesn’t seem bothered by that at all. She just looks happy that I have people around me, that I’m not alone.Her smile stays with her the whole day, never fading, and after a while, it pulls a smile from Dad too.I can feel it coming. It won’t be long before the twins ask about our marks. They’ve been holding back, but not for much longer.They’ve settled in fast, faster than I expected. Even Ethan. He keeps to himself and doesn’t say much, mostly just watching, but he’s still here in his own way.I think that’s why Damian stays close to him. There’s no pressure between them, no need to f

    FELIX Teleporting always feels strange. One second we are standing in the bedroom. The next, we are on the dirt road that leads into Granite Valley.I only know this place from that one car ride to Marcus’s house. Still, when we step forward, something pulls at me. An old memory.I start moving before I think about it.I run down a narrow path between houses. It looks like it will lead into the woods, but it doesn’t.Instead, I step out into a field.My chest tightens.It is exactly the same. Just like the dreams. Just like I remember.Zara and Damian come up behind me. They stop and look around.The place is hidden. It feels like it sits deep in the woods, but it doesn’t. It is cut off in a quiet way, like the world forgot about it.“What is this place?” Zara asks.“I used to come here when I was a kid,” I say. “A lot of moms brought their kids here.”The memories are not clear. Faces blur. Voices fade. But the feeling stays.“I don’t think Marcus knew about it.”If he had, he would

    ZARA I drift off for a few minutes, not fully asleep, just resting. Then the thought comes back to me. There are still things I need to do today. I shouldn’t be lying here.That must be why Damian got up earlier. He always thinks ahead. He knows we still have to meet with the Conclave of Mystics, and that isn’t something we can delay.I got distracted earlier. We were supposed to keep moving, but instead we ended up focusing on Felix and his welcome home surprise. It pulled all of us in. It felt more important in the moment.I try to sit up, but Caleb’s arm tightens around me before I can move. At the same time, Felix takes my hand and holds it gently, like he doesn’t want to let go either. Between the two of them, I’m stuck.“Sleep,” Caleb whispers softly, his fingers brushing along my cheek in slow, calm strokes.“I have things to do,” I say, even though my voice comes out quieter than I meant.“Your only job today is to stay here and hug me,” Felix murmurs, his tone low and s

    DAMIAN Naomi tucks her hair behind her ear before she begins. She pauses for a second, like she’s sorting through everything in her head and deciding what to say first.“The Conclave of Mystics needs you and Zara over at Granite Valley as soon as possible,” she says. Her voice stays steady, but there’s weight behind it. “They’re breaking the pack apart. A lot of people are being sent to counselling. After that, most of them will be moved into stronger, more stable packs. Some will be given the option to live like humans instead.”I nod slowly, taking that in piece by piece. It’s a lot, but it also feels expected after everything that happened there.“The youngest ones still in town want to join your pack,” she adds.“That makes sense,” I mutter, more to myself than to her. Then I frown, something not sitting right. “But don’t they want to stay with their parents?”Naomi gives a small, uneven smile, like she already thought about that question. “The youngest ones are nineteen. Their m

    DAMIAN I get dressed and leave Zara asleep in bed with Caleb and Felix. For a moment, I stand there and watch them. It’s quiet. Calm in a way that doesn’t last long anymore. I think about staying. It would be easy to lie back down, pull Zara closer, and ignore everything waiting outside that door. Just for a little while.But I know how this goes. If I leave things unattended, they pile up. And right now, we can’t afford that.What happened to Felix can’t happen again. Not to him. Not to anyone in my pack. I won’t allow it.When I open the door, I half expect to see the kid sitting outside like before. Waiting. Ready to be taken downstairs for breakfast, like it’s already part of his routine.But the hallway is empty.The kid. Eli. Felix’s half-brother.That thought brings me straight to the first problem. His mother.If she hadn’t betrayed us, this would be simple. I wouldn’t even need to think this hard about it. I’d invite her in, give her a place here, let her and the kid set

    CALEB It still catches our Omega off guard, and I don’t think that will change anytime soon, but I’m not as dull as he likes to pretend. He has this idea of me in his head, something simple and steady. He doesn’t expect much beyond that.He would probably stare if he knew I was the one who suggested the welcome-home gift. Not something soft or familiar. Something new. Something we have never tried before. Something a little rougher. A little messier. Something that would stay on his mind after.Of course, Felix being Felix, he couldn’t leave it at that. He always adds something. Always pushes things a step further. He wanted to taste Damian on our mate’s body. That part wasn’t planned. None of us talked about it beforehand.The marks on her neck weren’t planned either.They just happened.If I asked him why, I already know the answer I’d get. A small shrug. A quiet look. He’d say it felt right, like that was enough to explain everything.I kneel in front of Zara now. The air ar

    AURORA My fingers pressed against my temples as I rubbed them slowly. A steady ache had settled there and refused to ease. My father’s voice only made it worse. His long speech kept dragging on, pushing against the last bit of patience I had left. Thinking clearly felt impossible while he kept ta

    AURORA Gods, the need to run after Jax stayed heavy in my chest. I wanted to go to him and take back every word I had said. The memory of it would not leave me alone. In front of everyone who mattered, I had cut him down and embarrassed him. When he walked away, it had taken everything inside me

    JAX The concrete floor felt hard under my boots as I walked back and forth across the basement. Each step made the wait feel longer. Patience was slipping away little by little. Damon needed to wake up so his condition could be checked, but it seemed wiser to wait for Aurora. No one knew what st

    AURORA Shock left me quiet for a moment. Strong hands gripped my waist and turned me forward over the edge of the tub.My chest pressed against the cool tile. The cold surface brushed my nipples.Behind me, Theron spread my thighs and pushed inside me without hesitation.A sharp breath left my che
