LOGINBastian turns to face Miles, his head tilting as he studies him.I nod. “That tells us two things… first, it wasn’t a hunter. Second, I think there’s only one or two. Otherwise, they’d have snatched Miles too.”Miles’ gaze snaps to me. “You know what happened?”Alaric steps forward, crouching in fro
** Leo’s POV **“He’s gone.” Bastian’s words hang in the air. “Who?” Poppy asks.Alaric and Bastian’s gazes turn distant, and we all go utterly still as we wait for them to communicate with their patrol. I hate being out of the loop, especially on something like this. In Phoenix, I was a part of ev
I gasp. “Jake!”“Hey.” Parker’s voice comes through clearly. “I’m going straight to Ronnie with this, but I have a feeling he’s not going to have an explanation.”Bastian tilts his head. “Ewan might know something. We should ask him too.”“If he’s up to it, maybe he and Ronnie could video call and p
** Poppy’s POV **All four of my mates stare at me like I just grew horns. Am I hallucinating? I don’t dare move. I barely dare to even breathe. Because I know that voice. I’d recognise it anywhere, but there’s no possible way my sister just spoke inside my head.“Poppy? Oh my god. Poppy, can you he

Jaxon goes quiet as he focuses on his race. The sheer determination on his face and the way he sticks out the tip of his tongue when he’s concentrating are adorable. I may be biased, but Paige and I have created a good-looking kid. I hear Paige and Parker talking outside, and I tune in just enou
Ryder’s head rises and his ears flick forward at the sound and Remy steps aside. “Go Rye, but take it slow, or you’ll scare her to death.” We follow a few paces behind our alpha as he tries to control his pace towards his brother and mate. My brother and I hang back whilst Ryder creeps up behind h
** Paige’s POV ** I sit in silence as the weight of this entire insane new world bears down on me. I can still feel their eyes on me, like they’re waiting for me to do something.
