Rin’s POV

When the relationship broke, the flames continued.

It only got more powerful.

Curling up into the floor and burying my nails into the wood, I let out a scream. Every muscle in my body screamed, every nerve searing. Thorne's presence filled every nook and cranny of me as the bond tore me apart like a wildfire.

I smelled him more strongly than ever, raw and wild, domineering. It penetrated every thought, slid into my lungs, and encircled my heart. I was unable to push it out. I was powerless to resist.

"No—no, I can't" My body trembled once again, and my voice broke.

"Rin." He spoke in a gruff, frantic voice. "Take a breath. Wait a moment.

I growled and twisted, but the flames just grew. My inner wolf, screaming with delight at the bond's release, clawed at me from within. I wasn't happy, though. I was afraid.

"Take it out!" With tears hurting my eyes, I yelled. "This is not what I want!"

"You do," Thorne snarled in a thunderous voice. It's what your wolf desires. Give up figh

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Heat   Information.

    THORNE POVMarcus's information led us to three other communities operating like Network Haven. Controlled collectives where central nodes manipulated hundreds of people without their awareness. We spent six months documenting the manipulation and quietly helping people escape.It was exhausting dangerous work that took us away from Iris constantly. Rin and I would coordinate through our bond while physically separated. Him infiltrating one network while I worked on another. Both of us pretending to be interested in joining while actually gathering evidence."I hate this," Rin said through our private bond during one particularly difficult infiltration. "I hate being away from you. I hate leaving Iris with others. I hate that we are still fighting battles we should have walked away from.""Two more networks after this one. Then we are done.""You said that about the last network."He was right. We kept finding more manipulation. More communities that needed exposure. More people trapp

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Heat   Shelter.

    RIN POVWe found temporary shelter in an abandoned summer camp two hours north of Network Haven. Twenty three people and eight children crammed into rustic cabins that had not been used in years. It was not ideal but it gave us distance from the manipulated network we had escaped.The first night everyone was too exhausted and traumatized to do much beyond settling the children and trying to sleep. But through our reduced collective consciousness I felt questions brewing. Anger. Confusion. Fear about what came next.Iris could not sleep. She kept reaching through the network toward the friends she had left behind in Network Haven. "Why did we have to leave. I do not understand.""Because the people in charge were not being honest," I explained for the third time. "They were using the network to control everyone.""But it felt good. Everyone was happy.""They thought they were happy because the network made them feel that way. That is not real happiness."She considered this with thre

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Heat   Leaving Home.

    THORNE POVNetwork Haven felt wrong from the beginning even though I tried to convince myself otherwise. Everything was too coordinated. Too smooth. Too perfectly aligned. When fifty families all agreed on every major decision through collective consensus it meant either everyone genuinely agreed or dissent was being suppressed.I suspected the latter."Does it bother you how uniform everything feels," I asked Rin two months after we moved in."What do you mean.""Everyone here thinks the same way. Talks the same way. Even their emotional responses feel similar. Like the network is creating conformity instead of connection."Through our bond I felt his uncertainty. He had noticed it too but did not want to admit it. "Maybe that is just what happens when everyone is bonded. Shared consciousness naturally leads to shared perspectives.""Or maybe this particular network has developed groupthink and no one is willing to challenge it."Iris was thriving which made my concerns feel petty.

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Heat   Question

    RIN POVIris was three years old when she asked her first impossible question. Not out loud but directly into my consciousness while I was making breakfast."Why are some people empty."I almost dropped the pan. "What do you mean empty.""The people outside. At the park. In the store. They are empty. I cannot feel them. Are they broken."Through the network I felt Thorne's alarm from upstairs. This was the conversation we had been dreading. How to explain to a child who had never experienced individual consciousness that most humans lived that way."They are not empty or broken," I said carefully. "They are just not bonded. They live inside their own minds without connections to others."Iris's confusion radiated through the network. "But how do they know what anyone is feeling. How do they understand each other.""They use words. And body language. They guess based on what they observe.""That sounds lonely.""It is different. Not necessarily lonely. Just separate."Through the netwo

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Heat   Spring

    THORNE POVIris was born on a spring morning and the moment she entered the world I felt her consciousness snap into sharp focus. Unlike Elena who had taken months to develop clear awareness, Iris arrived already knowing the network. Already understanding the eight minds connected to her.Her first emotion broadcast was not fear or confusion but curiosity. Pure focused interest in everything around her."She is different from Elena," Dr. Voss said while examining her. "More aware. The dual bond with both parents created something stronger."Through our connection I felt Rin's exhaustion and overwhelming love. He had just given birth but he was already reaching toward Iris through the network making sure she felt safe and connected."How are you," I asked him."Tired. In pain. Completely in love with her. The usual."Iris turned her head toward my voice even though she could not see me clearly yet. Through the network she knew exactly where I was. Who I was. She recognized my consciou

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Heat   Certainty

    RIN POVElena turned two years old and spoke her first words not out loud but directly into the network. "Love you Mama" appeared in all our consciousnesses simultaneously and we felt her absolute certainty in the emotion behind the words.Sera burst into tears. "She just talked. In my head. Is that normal.""Nothing about this is normal," Dr. Voss said but she was smiling. "But it is fascinating. She is developing language through the network before developing verbal speech. Her brain is prioritizing collective communication over individual.""Will she ever learn to talk out loud.""Probably. But network communication might always be easier for her. She is wired differently than we are."Through the network I felt Elena's confusion at her mother's tears. She sent waves of concern and love trying to comfort Sera. At two years old she had emotional intelligence that most adults lacked because she had been reading feelings her entire life."She is going to be so strange when she interac
