EVE I was panicking. I couldn't do this anymore. All this alpha shit, it was too much. It was just too damn much. The pressure was crushing me, the constant need to be strong, to keep fighting, to keep everyone safe. I was breaking. My heart pounded in my chest. I could barely breathe. The room seemed to be closing in on me, and all I wanted was to scream and run far away from it all.Lori walked out to make sure Ty left, and I watched her, hoping she could somehow fix this mess. When she returned, she appeared exhausted, her shoulders slumped in defeat. "I'm driving him out to the cabin," she said.Drake, despite his condition, couldn't stop himself. "Well, tell Dad to regale you with all the stories about how he was having sex like ten times a day up there to make sure I exist. I'm sure it'll be some awesome stories."Lori just sighed. "Kha, go back to the Bane land. Get everyone off the StClaire land."Kha shook his head. "I'm not going to do that. I'm tired of all this bulls

EVE Three days at the beach house had done wonders for my mind and spirit. The constant pressure suffocating me until I thought I might shatter had eased. The crashing waves, the salt-tinged breeze, and the endless horizon had become my sanctuary, where I could finally breathe without the weight of expectation on my chest.Lori had been right. Sometimes, you must run away to find yourself again. I now understood why she had her hideaways, where she could escape the chaos and find a peace. A part of me wondered if I would end up like her, disappearing whenever the walls started closing in, whenever Kha and Drake's intensity became too much to bear.But as much as this place had helped me, as much as I cherished the solitude and the space to think, I couldn't deny the growing ache inside me. I missed them, my guys, more than I wanted to admit. It was like a physical hunger, pulling me back toward them. I knew they were probably struggling without me, and that knowledge tore at my hear

EVE I was more than a little relieved as we pulled up to the Bane mansion. I couldn't figure out how to buy a pregnancy test at the pharmacy without them seeing, so we just got things to help with the nausea. The trip home after had been silent, but Kha and Drake's concern spoke louder than words. I'd scared them badly. Before I could even step out of the truck, Drake was already there. He lifted me out and carried me inside. "Alright, Eve. You'll have to tell us if we went overboard with your calm room," Drake said as they carried me through the hallways. "We aimed for peaceful, but we might have gone a bit… Uhh, extra.""You know us, always so subtle," Kha added."Extra...subtle," Drake quipped.I giggled, their teasing easing some of the anxiety that had clung to me. They were trying hard to make things right and make me feel safe. They were also getting along together so well. Despite the circumstances that brought me back, I couldn't deny how good it felt to be home with th

EVE I couldn't believe I had managed to keep the secret for a week. Each day felt like it dragged on forever. Kha and Drake, with their sharp instincts and heightened Alpha werewolf senses, should have easily noticed something was wrong. Somehow, I had managed to avoid their suspicions. They were far too scared to say or do something that would upset me. Every time they looked at me, I expected them to ask the question that would reveal everything. But they didn't. I forced myself to laugh at their jokes and smile when they looked at me, all while feeling like I was on the verge of breaking. My body felt like a battlefield, every smell making my stomach turn. I quickly learned that keeping something in my stomach was the only way to prevent the worst of it. Lemon drops and sour candies became my constant companions, tucked into every pocket like small lifesavers. I would slip one into my mouth whenever the nausea would start to surface. It helped, but the relief didn't las

Kha's new room was just as I remembered from visiting Drake's room last year, but the space felt different tonight. More stifling. Kha dropped his bag by the door. He was highly unsettled. Drake followed us in and slammed the door. I felt caught in the middle of something much larger than I could fully understand. I stood there, trying to collect my thoughts. The encounter with Conrad had shaken me, but something else was nagging at me. I realized while I was with him, the nausea that had plagued me for days was gone entirely. I instinctively touched my stomach, frowning. How was that possible? Around Kha and Drake, I constantly battled the nausea, but with Conrad, it hadn't even crossed my mind. "Kha," I began cautiously. "Why do you two hate him so much? He seemed intense, but the way you reacted... it was like he was some kind of monster." Kha scoffed as he glanced at Drake, who had stopped pacing to listen. "Ford isn't someone to be trusted, Eve. He's dangerous." Drake a
