LOGINYou may have noticed that I'm setting up for book 2, which will be Poppy's story. Don't worry, she will be back!
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.

I suck in a shaky breath, lifting my head just enough to meet Callen’s eyes again. He gives me a small, knowing smile as he brushes away the last of his tears.“Go on, baby,” he whispers. “Let them help you now. We’ll be right here.”Callen kisses my head, and Ryder leans over to press a chaste kiss
