ANMELDENI was planning to publish two chapters together today, I have the second one ready, but I think some of you may hunt me down with pitchforks if I leave it where it's at 😂 So I'll publish two tomorrow once the next chapter is ready. PSA... they're spicy ones 😏
** Poppy’s POV **After we all take a shower and I get some time alone with my thoughts, I can finally breathe again. The world doesn’t feel quite so overwhelming.Whatever this power is… I feel a little more certain I can control it. I’ve started to recognise the signs. It’s not much, but it’s some
** Poppy’s POV **Ronnie doesn’t waste time after that. Blood samples are taken quickly from us all. Jake handles most of it with steady hands and a focused expression, as if he’s clinging to something he understands. Something that makes sense to him… science. I can barely feel the needle. Or mayb
** Poppy’s POV **I mull over Ronnie’s words. Even though I’d already started piecing it together, hearing the words spoken aloud lands hard.Collides… like we’re something dangerous and unstable. As if we’re the problem.My stomach twists. “So what? We just… stay away from each other?”Ronnie’s gaz
** Poppy’s POV **The silence doesn’t last. Footsteps hit the hallway, fast and heavy, then the door swings open hard enough to rattle the frame. Callen steps in first, eyes scanning the room in a sweep before locking onto Paige.“What the hell is going on?” he demands, already moving toward her. “I

“What?” Leo asks, softer.I hesitate. Because I don’t know how to explain it without sounding insane.“It’s like…” I swallow. “Like everything is louder when I stop fighting it.”“There it is,” the voice murmurs.My eyes fly open.“Stop,” I whisper.Jake’s expression sharpens. “What happened?”“It s
Because if she doesn’t fulfil her destiny, there will be no future for any of us. Not for me or the pack, and not for the pup we already love more than life.She squares her shoulders, glow flickering beneath her skin, and I see her strength settle like a second heartbeat, and in that moment, watchi

There. There it is again. A small, new heartbeat of magic. My wolf lifts his head curiously.Paige opens her eyes slowly, her gaze drifting toward me.“You felt it, didn’t you?” she whispers.I can’t lie to her. “Yes.”“I felt it too,” Parker admits.Ronnie glances back in the rearview mirror, his e
