That was apparently the last straw for Brent. He shot to his feet so fast his chair scraped against the hardwood floor. "Get out. Now."
"This is pack business," Jon protested, though he took a step back from Brent's advancing form. "As a Delta, I have a right to…"
"You have the right to shut your mouth and leave before I remove you myself," Alpha Maxwell's voice cut through the tension like a blade. The Alpha command in his tone was unmistakable, and I watched Jon's defiance crumble under its weight.
But he wasn't done yet. His eyes found mine across the room, and the hatred there was so pure it made me flinch.

Liam stepped forward first, his green eyes searching mine. "Are you sure? This isn't something we can undo.""I'm sure," I replied, setting my mother's journal carefully on the side table. "My mother wrote that I should let love be my compass. Not fear.""This isn't just about the bond," Fin said, moving closer. "This is about something deeper. Something permanent.""I know." And I did know. Despite everything between us, the years of cruelty, the recent revelations, the confusion of the mate bond, something inside me recognised the truth. These four men, for all their flaws, were mine. And I was theirs.Brent reached me first, his hands cupping my face with surprising gentleness. "Seraphina," he whispe

"It's Alpha Maxwell," came the reply. "I need to speak with you. It's important."I wiped at my face, trying to erase the evidence of my tears. "Just a minute."After splashing cold water on my face in the bathroom, I opened the door to find not just Alpha Maxwell, but all four of his sons standing in the hallway. Their expressions were grim, and my stomach dropped with foreboding."What's happened?" I asked, immediately alert.Alpha Maxwell's face was taut with tension. "The Northern Alliance representatives have requested a meeting with you. Tonight.""Tonight?" My voice sounded thin even to my own ears. "But the ceremony isn't until tomorrow.

"They knew," I whispered. "They knew what was coming and they still tried to save me."Fin's arm tightened around me, and for once I was grateful for the contact. "They succeeded. You're here. You're alive.""But for how long?" The question slipped out before I could stop it. "The Northern Alliance killed them. Tomorrow night, they'll try to finish what they started.""Not if we stop them first."I looked up at him through my tears. "We? Since when is this 'we,' Fin? Yesterday you would have handed me over to them yourself if it meant getting rid of me."His jaw tightened, and I saw something flicker in his green eyes, shame, maybe. Or regret. "Yesterday I was an idiot. Yest

I moved to the bathroom, splashing cold water on my face. The girl in the mirror looked different somehow, her eyes brighter, her cheeks flushed with colour, her lips slightly swollen from Brent's kiss. I barely recognised myself.A soft knock at the balcony door made me jump. I knew without looking that it would be Fin, the only brother I hadn't had a real conversation with today. The pattern was becoming clear: they were taking turns, each trying to convince me in their own way.For a moment, I considered ignoring him. But curiosity won out, and I moved to the glass door, sliding it open just enough to speak."I'm not in the mood for another heartfelt confession," I said by way of greeting.Fin's green eyes studied me with an inte

I wiped away the last of my tears. "Lucky me.""You meant what you said in there, didn't you?" Brent asked quietly. "About us tormenting you being a kind of death."I sighed, looking down at my hands. "Yes. No. I don't know. It just came out.""But you felt it.""Of course I felt it," I said, frustration bleeding into my voice. "Do you have any idea what it was like? Year after year of being told I was nothing, that I was worthless, that no one would ever want me? It breaks something inside you, Brent. Something that doesn't just magically heal because suddenly you've decided I'm worth something."He flinched as if I'd struck him. "I know. And I

"You're stronger than you think," Brent said, moving to stand beside me. His hand found my shoulder, and I felt that now-familiar jolt of electricity. "The Alpha blood is awakening faster than we expected."I looked around at their faces, all of them watching me with a mixture of determination and something that looked almost like fear.The look in their eyes made me look towards the floor. The fear shining in their eyes was too much for me. Fin stepped forward, feeling my distress, "I don't understand why you're all looking at me like that," I said, crossing my arms protectively over my chest. "I'm not some fragile thing that needs to be coddled.""No one thinks you're fragile," Fin said, his voice gentler than I'd ever heard it. "We're worried because we care about you."
