LOGINSorry for the lack of updates, I took some time off to spend with family over the Christmas period. I hope everyone that celebrates Christmas had a wonderful time.
I press my hand to my chest, trying to steady the sudden, spiralling unease. Leo watches me carefully.“You want to tell me what you saw?” he asks.I hesitate because I don’t know what to say, or worse… I’m not sure if I want to know. I drag in a slow breath, then another, forcing my lungs to cooper
** Poppy’s POV ** I don’t remember falling asleep. One second, I’m wrapped in Leo’s arms, warm and steady, the bond humming softly between us like a quiet reassurance, and the next, I’m cold.The shift is instant and violent. The warmth is gone, ripped away so suddenly it steals the breath from my
“She chose this,” I remind myself quietly.My wolf huffs in agreement, and that matters more than anything.I tilt my head slightly, pressing my lips briefly to the top of her hair, the gesture softer than anything I’ve allowed myself before.I have to be careful with her. Even now. Especially now.
** Leo’s POV **For a moment, I can’t move. Not because I don’t want to, but because I don’t trust myself to.The bond settles slowly, like something ancient weaving itself into place, threading through my chest, my lungs, my bones. It’s steady, deep, and unshakable.Her… She’s there. Not just besid

** Ryder’s POV **I stay beside Paige as we watch the pack kids. Jax is playing with them as if he’s always been here. They don’t treat him like the new kid or an outsider. They don’t look at him like a leader either. To them, he’s just a pack kid the same as any other. Watching him run and laugh wi
** Paige’s POV **The sound of children’s laughter fades behind me as we step onto one of the narrow dirt paths on the outskirts of the small village. I almost stop right there, because every instinct in me screams to turn back and keep Jaxon in sight.Parker’s hand brushes mine, his calming energy
** Ryder’s POV **The certificate rests in my lap, the edges crinkled where my fingers have been gripping it too tightly.
