2025-12-05 09:03:43** Paige’s POV **
The world comes back in pieces. First, it’s the sound… a slow, steady beeping somewhere close to my head, steady as a heartbeat. Then warmth, heavy and suffocating, wrapped around me like a blanket I can’t quite move beneath. My throat burns when I swallow, and the back of my neck aches like I’ve been hit over the head with something heavy.
I try to open my eyes, but the light stabs straight through me. It takes me a moment to realise it’s not sunlight at all. It’s dim, golden, and flickering, the kind of glow that comes from a fire.
Voices drift nearby, muffled and low. Someone shifts beside me, a hand tightening gently around mine.

** Ryder’s POV **By the time we reach our cabin, the midday sun is high in the sky.Paige’s fingers stay threaded with mine for the walk home. She doesn’t shake. She doesn’t stumble. If anything, she grows steadier with every step. I don’t miss the way she keeps lifting her face to the sun, soaking up its rays.But the Twiceborn?... they’re another story.Nine wolves pad silently behind us, their paws almost soundless on the leaf-littered ground. When Paige slows, they slow. Their eyes glow with a strange silver-gold light, not threatening, just watchful.The second we step out of the trees and into the clearing around the cabin, they fan out without a word, forming a perfect perimeter around the house.Remy whistles low. “Well… that’s new.”Callen snorts. “Fantastic. We&
The Lost Pack Chapter 186
** Ryder’s POV **The moment it hits me, I almost drop to my knees. It’s not a pulse or a flare. Not the usual warm tug of the bond when Paige is overwhelmed or scared. This… this is a detonation.A tidal wave of heat slams into my chest so violently my vision goes white. For a breathless second I can’t see, can’t move, can’t think. I can only feel her. I feel her power bursting open, her heart racing, something rising inside her.“Ryder?” Leo’s voice snaps through the mind-link. “What’s going on?”The next second, Jaxon screams.“Daddy!” He grabs my shirt, his little hands shaking. “What’s wrong with Mummy? Why’s she shouting in my head?”Fuck.I snatch him into my arms before he can fall, his whole body trembling.
The Lost Pack Chapter 185
** Paige’s POV **The moment the words leave my mouth, ‘I think I know what I am,’ the world stops.The air in the clinic feels like it freezes around me. Sound disappears, and even the lamplight seems to dim, as if the room itself is holding its breath.Callen’s eyes widen, pupils blown so large that it’s difficult to tell they’re blue. He looks torn between awe and complete, unfiltered terror. Parker’s hand is still clamped on his shoulder, but he’s gone as still as a statue beside him.Jake and Poppy stand near the door, both stunned into silence, both looking at me like I’ve grown a second head.The wolves don’t move at all. All nine of them are bowed so low that their heads touch the floor, their bodies glowing with that faint silver-gold shimmer like they are flickering between two realities. They’re waiting. Every heartbeat of theirs syncs to mine. Every breath of theirs follows the rise and fall of my chest.They feel tethered to me. They feel… mine. And something inside me, s
The Lost Pack Chapter 184
** Callen’s POV **The first thing I feel is the bond.It’s not the usual background hum, or the distracting warmth Paige always radiates when she’s close. This is something else… something sharp, bright, electrifying, like she’s a live wire pressed directly against the inside of my ribs.And then all nine resurrected wolves drop to their knees in front of her and say, “Goddess.”Yeah. So that just happened… Goddess. No biggie. Just a bunch of zombie wolves declaring my mate as their goddess. It’s fine, completely normal to have your own undead army.My brain flat-out refuses to process the scene in front of me. I mean, sure, I’ve seen weird things lately… Paige glowing, Paige pulsing magic through our bond, Paige marking Parker without a bite like some kind of celestial tattoo artist… but this?Nine grown-ass wolves who died violently, resurrected, and apparently now swearing fealty?I feel faint, actually faint, but I don’t faint. I doubt my mate will let me even if I wanted to.Par
The Lost Pack Chapter 183
** Paige’s POV **The walk to the clinic feels longer than it actually is.Maybe it’s because every step makes that strange pull inside me grow stronger, like an invisible thread stretching from somewhere deep in my chest and pulling me toward the healer’s cabins. Or maybe it’s because Callen hasn’t stopped talking since we left the house.“So,” he says, hands shoved into his jacket pockets like he’s trying to look unbothered. “Just to clarify for future reference, how does one go about getting marked by our Luna? Asking for… you know… purely educational reasons.”Parker groans beside me. “Callen…”“No, no, I’m serious,” Callen interrupts quickly. “Do I stand still? Do I kneel? Do I have to chant something? Is there a form? A sign-up sheet? An enquiry list? Should I fill out a request on pack stationery or…?”I elbow him lightly. “Callen, shut up.”He gasps dramatically. “Wow. The violence.”Parker’s lips twitch. “She’s not violent. You’re just an idiot.”“Well, yes. But at least I’m
The Lost Pack Chapter 182
** Paige’s POV **Breakfast almost settles me, almost, but not quite.The guys keep trying to act normal, but the bond is a mess of tangled emotions. Curiosity, awe, worry, and something sharper threading through all of them… fear.Not fear of me but fear for me, and it’s Ryder who keeps glancing at me like he’s fighting an internal argument he doesn’t want to have.I can tell they’re discussing something through the mind-link. It’s obvious in their subtle nods and their micro facial expressions. I get the same sense I had yesterday, that uneasiness I could feel in the morning trickling through the bond.I know they’re hiding something from me, something they either think I can’t handle, or they’re worried I’ll have another power flare up. I hate secrets, but with my current circumstances, and my unpredictable power, I can understand. I trust them, completely, and I know they will tell me when they feel the time is right.Ryder clears his throat, pulling me from my thoughts.“Paige,”
