I had not given him a chance. Not truly.

Tonight had been courtesy. A shared meal. Civil conversation. A father trying carefully to exist in the space of his children. That was all. It was not forgiveness. It was not reconciliation. And it certainly was not the reopening of something I had sealed shut with deliberate force.

To give him a real chance meant touching the pa

    That day passed slower than any day I could remember.Selena refused to leave my side.Not even for a moment.After the morning scare, she clung to me in ways she hadn’t since she was much younger. Even when Camelia tried to distract her with breakfast, or Everett offered to read one of her favorite books, she stayed pressed against me like a shadow afraid of losing its source of light. Kane stayed unusually quiet too, though not withdrawn. He watched her constantly, his small brows tightening every time she shifted too quickly or sighed too loudly.It was strange to see my children like this.One frightened.One protective.Both too young to carry the emotions they were now holding.By mid-morning, the house had settled into a slow rhythm. Everett sat near the window reading quietly, occasionally glancing toward the children without lifting his head fully. Camelia moved around the kitchen preparing food none of us had as

    That morning did not settle back into normal the way I had hoped it would.Even after Selena stopped trembling and her breathing steadied, something fragile remained in the air around us. The kind of tension that lingered long after the storm had passed. I stayed kneeling beside the bed longer than necessary, watching her carefully, memorizing the rhythm of her breathing like it was the only thing keeping my own steady.Kane had not moved from her side.His small hand remained wrapped tightly around hers, his fingers curled protectively like he believed letting go would somehow cause her to fall apart again. I watched him carefully, noticing how his shoulders remained stiff despite the calm settling into the room. Yesterday had shaken him physically. Today had shaken him differently.Emotionally.That frightened me more.“Can I stay here today?” Selena whispered suddenly, her voice hoarse from crying.She looked at Sienna

    The next morning did not begin gently.It began with a scream.A sharp, panicked cry that tore through the house and pulled me out of sleep before my mind could even understand what was happening. My heart slammed violently against my ribs as I pushed the blanket away and ran toward the hallway barefoot, not caring about the cold floor biting into my skin. For one horrifying second, my mind returned to yesterday—to Kane shaking in my arms, to his terrified voice, to the helplessness that had nearly crushed me.“Mom!”Selena.The sound came from the children’s room.I didn’t think. I didn’t breathe. I just ran.When I pushed the door open, Selena sat upright on the bed, her small hands gripping the blanket tightly, her chest rising and falling in fast, uneven breaths. Kane sat beside her, wide awake, his eyes filled with confusion and fear as he watched her struggle to breathe properly.&ldquo

    That night, long after everyone had gone to sleep, I found myself standing outside Kane and Selena’s room again.It had become a habit without me realizing it. Every night, after the house settled into silence and the lights went off one by one, my feet carried me to their door like something inside me refused to trust distance. I didn’t knock. I didn’t step inside immediately. I just stood there for a moment, listening to their breathing through the quiet hallway.Steady.Soft.Alive.Only after assuring myself of that did I push the door open slightly and step inside.The room smelled faintly of soap and the lavender oil Camelia insisted on using before bedtime. Selena slept curled toward Kane again, her small hand resting across his arm like she was guarding him even in sleep. Kane lay on his back this time, his brows drawn slightly together even in rest, his chest rising and falling in deeper breaths than usual.

    That night, after returning from the training grounds, the house felt quieter than usual, but not in a peaceful way. It was the kind of quiet that came after something heavy had passed through, leaving behind tired hearts and aching thoughts. Kane walked beside me silently as we entered, his fingers wrapped tightly around mine like he feared that if he let go, something would pull him away again. Selena trailed behind us, still full of questions she hadn’t voiced yet, her eyes moving between Kane and Cassius as if trying to understand what had changed between them.The moment we stepped inside, the smell of warm food wrapped around us like a familiar blanket. Camelia stood near the kitchen counter, stirring something slowly while Everett arranged plates on the dining table with the same quiet precision he carried into everything he did. The sight of them there—so settled, so involved in a home that wasn’t originally theirs—still felt strange to me some

    By evening, the whispers had softened around us, but they had not disappeared. They never did, not in a pack like this where silence spoke louder than accusation. I could feel it without anyone saying it directly to my face. People did not stop us or question us openly, but their eyes lingered longer than usual when Kane walked past them. Conversations dipped into softer tones when we approached, and though they resumed moments later, the shift in rhythm was unmistakable. Years of leading a pack had taught me how silence behaved when people were thinking too much and speaking too little. It was never the loud confrontations that worried me. It was the quiet watching that came before them.That evening, I chose to take Kane back to the training grounds. Not because he was ready, and certainly not because I believed yesterday had already settled inside him. He was still shaken, still unsure, still carrying the weight of guilt like something he believed he deserved to feel. But

    I stared at the well-built wolf in front of me.He stood with the easy authority of someone who did not need to announce his rank. Broad shoulders. Controlled stance. Calm eyes that are measured before reacting. If I kn

    Something in me broke the moment she left me standing at the corner of the street. Maybe everything broke in me. Realisation came crashing down on me that I couldn’t bear to stand on my own two feet. Tears clouded my vision and my wolf screamed to be let out.I couldn’t. Not here. Not where my kids

    “He is their father.” Austin’s voice made me freeze. I turned to look at him. “He is right?”“What?”“I see the way you two are. The Mate bond comes to life when you stand beside him. And Kane resembles him in every possible way.” As if I didn’t know that.“What difference does it make?” I asked Au

    “Hey!” I tapped his cheeks again. “Alessio.” This time I tapped harder, almost ready to slap him if he didn’t respond. “Alessio! You’re scaring me.” I muttered, leaning over him, trying to shake him awake.
