As soon as the radio was firmly in my grasp, the static buzz of voices filled the room, a constant stream of updates, commands, and responses that never seemed to pause for breath. At first, the rush of being so directly connected to the action, to Kael, Knox, and the rest of the search party, filled me with a sense of importance. I was part of the team, even from the confines of the house. However, that initial thrill quickly dissolved into a torrent of anxiety and confusion. The voices crackling through the radio were almost impossible to decipher, each tainted with urgency and tension. Commands overlapped, names were called out in quick succession, and the sound of rushing feet and distant shouts became the backdrop to every transmission. I clutched the radio tighter, straining to make sense of the chaotic symphony of voices, to find the threads of information that would paint a clear picture of what was happening out there. But clarity remained elusive. Missy's earlier relucta

Knox and I reentered the living room to find the scene had descended into chaos. Ky was sprawled on the floor, lost in his own world, singing at the top of his lungs, while Kael had claimed the top of the bar as his stage, conspicuously devoid of clothing. While stationed on the couch, Missy tried to focus her eyes anywhere but on them. It was clear from her demeanor that their behavior was not just baffling but deeply concerning. "I'm not sure what to do with them," Missy confessed. "Each time I try to get them to calm down, it only worsens it. They are poisoned or something. Something bigger is at play here." Suddenly, Ky's voice pierced the air, a sharp cry of pain that suggested he'd been stabbed in the stomach. He leaped up, only to double over in sheer agony. Both Kael and Knox reacted immediately, their connection to Ky making them acutely aware of his suffering. In his confusion and pain, Kael turned to me, pleading, "Sky, fix it. His stomach hurts." "Fuck, something is h

I drifted off between Ky and Kael, their soft petting a lullaby that eased me into sleep. They, too, seemed at peace, content in the moment shared on the floor. When my eyes fluttered open, I found Knox standing nearby, accompanied by a tall, black-haired man observing our makeshift sleeping arrangement. "I'll never understand you wolves, I swear," the stranger remarked with a hint of bemusement. Knox expressed his gratitude, "Thanks for coming." Fabian replied casually, "No issue. I was missing the twins and needed to see them soon anyway." As I began to sit up, Kael, still lost in the grip of sleep, instinctively pulled me back down. "Mate, you smell so good.... mmmmm," he murmured contentedly before his breath evened out into snores. Knox intervened, aiding me in disentangling myself from Kael's embrace. Standing up, the reality of my lack of clothing suddenly dawned on me, leaving me exposed in front of Fabian, whom I had never met before. In a swift motion, Knox removed hi

I was jolted awake by Kael screaming from the next room. The intensity of his anger was noticeable, marked by the noise of him punching a wall and hurling objects in a fit of frustration. Ky was nowhere to be found, and the silence from his end only heightened my concern.Stepping into the room, I found Kael pacing back and forth, phone in hand. The look on his face was one of sheer desperation, a clear sign he was on the brink. He glanced up, and through his rage, he managed to convey the cause of his distress. "Ky just up and left in the middle of the night," he explained, the worry in his voice unmistakable. "The delta who saw him go thinks he might have been sleepwalking or something."My heart raced at the revelation. "Why did he leave?" I asked, desperate for answers."I don't know," Kael replied, his voice marred with confusion. "The delta mentioned he was mumbling something about going to 'their spot.'"A realization dawned on me. "Oh my, I know where he went," I said, piecing

We returned to the house to find Knox waiting on the porch. Without a word to Knox, Ky stormed past him, muttering, "I don't want to talk about it." Confused, Knox murmured, "Okay... not sure what that was about."Ky's agitation was unmistakable inside as he punched a wall and hurled objects across the room. This wasn't like him at all.Kael attempted to intervene. "Man, you need to lay down and get some rest." Ky's response was sharp, a near shout. "That's easy for you to say. Few things left could calm me down enough to make me sleep right now." Tension mounted, and it looked like Kael and Ky might come to blows, Ky's frustration boiling over. Knox, observing the escalating situation, leaned in and quietly shared with me, "I don't think he's slept since being made Alpha," If that was true, then no wonder Ky was melting down like this. Stepping between them, I placed my hands on their chests, feeling the rage pulsating through them. "You two have to stop. Kael, he needs to slee
