141. I Could Do The Same

LILA - I opened my eyes to find Linc and Cast sitting on the edge of the bed with Declan. Declan squirmed. Every movement told me he was ready to eat. And to see me again. That was the longest I'd been away from him since giving birth. I missed my little guy. So much more than I'd realized with all of this craziness happening… I reminded myself to not use that word anymore. The last thing I wanted to do was upset the spirits that shared blood with the two little alphas I was sharing my body with right now."Looks like someone's hungry," Cast murmured as he passed Declan over to me.I cradled Declan against me, settling him to nurse, but something felt off. After a few moments, he grew fussy, pushing away and making small, frustrated sounds as he gripped and scratched at my skin.My heart sank as I adjusted him, encouraging him to try again. He latched and kept trying, but he only grew fussier."Come on, big guy," I whispered, shifting him to the other side. I tried to keep my thou

142. Destroy Both of You

LILA - After entering the pool house with Cast, I closed the door quietly, keeping my eyes on the floor as I tried to hold it together. Cast looked up from the couch. "Hey, thought you were getting some rest."Declan was asleep in the crib nearby, his tiny chest rising and falling peacefully. Seeing him like that, so untouched by the chaos around us, made my heart ache. I shut the nursery door, needing a buffer between his calm world and the storm I felt within.And then it all broke loose. Tears welled up as I turned back to Cast, trying to pull myself together, but it was useless. A sob escaped as I almost collapsed on the floor.He jumped up off the couch and was beside me in a second. He wrapped his arms tightly around me as I broke. "I'm so tired of this…all of it," I managed through the sobs, gripping his shirt. "I just want things to be…right. For once. Why does it have to be like this? It's like I don't even deserve to be happy. Nothing ever stays together. It all just falls

143. Where I Was Meant To Be

LINC - The night felt endless, each second dragging with remorse I couldn't shake. The pack house was empty and silent. Not even the Omegas were moving around. It was odd how still everything seemed, even in the middle of the night. The last thing I needed was still and silent. I didn't want to think about it. I didn't want to think about anything. About the gap that stretched wider every time I thought about the mistakes piling up. I wasn't this person. I wasn't this type of guy. I was smarter than this. Why didn't I just tell her as soon as I noticed the damn text on my phone? Then, she would have helped me through this. Would it have hurt her? Yes, but we would have leaned on one another through it. Instead, I panicked like a damn coward and didn't say a word. Not until it was too late... and to the wrong damn person. Fuck. I tried to keep myself occupied. I scrubbed the countertops, wiped down already clean surfaces, sifted through stacks of paperwork I'd ignored. A

144. Rookie

LILA - I didn't want to go, but I couldn't avoid the test for my online class. I told myself it was just a day of independence, but the silence in the car was louder than I'd expected, settling around me like a reminder of everything I'd left back at home... Declan, Linc, Cast, the reality of this life I'd built. A life that sometimes felt too full, with responsibilities I'd never seen coming. Three kids under two. Plus, two guys who can act like children themselves sometimes. A wave of unearned nostalgia washed over me as I parked and walked onto campus. I hadn't spent much time here in person since my classes were mostly online, and now I regretted going that route. Coming here more would have done me some good. Getting away from all the crazy energy and situations at the pack house was like stepping into another world at this point. Students passed by in clusters, laughing, their lives so bright and carefree. They were my age, maybe a year or two younger, but it felt like we we

145. Worth A Shot

LINC - Cast and I had Declan for the day, his first without any nursing from Lila. She'd woken up completely dry, and I'd seen the sadness in her eyes as she handed him over. It hurt more than I'd expected, and I could sense how it made her feel clearly through the bond.It was a hard thing to be suddenly forced on them. To be suddenly taken away like it never mattered to begin with. Not just for her but for Declan, who started wailing the moment he realized his morning would be different.He wasn't handling it any better than his mama was. He'd been cranky since breakfast, his cries filling the house as he thrashed, wailing no matter what we tried. The switch to formula was supposed to be gradual, something easy to ease into. But here we were, diving in all at once, without the person who knew best how to calm him.We were a mess, the three of us, that was for sure. Declan let out a low, rumbling growl, something he'd recently started doing whenever he got frustrated. Cast grinned a

146. Met Someone

CAST - The campus courtyard felt unusually empty as I pulled up and scanned for Lila. I spotted her slumped on a bench near the entrance, looking like the world had done her in. I parked the truck and headed over without turning the heater off. It was so cold out here, and she was sitting without her jacket. As expected, the alpha energy was hitting her much harder this time. There were two in there; apparently, both were Alpha girls. At least according to their weird spirits they had been floating around.Plus, it was so damn soon after Declan was born. I doubted she had the chance to clear it from her system before it surged again. I bet she was in for a ride this time. One that I was more than happy to be a part of and witness. When I reached her, I touched her shoulder lightly. She had no idea I was there until then, which wasn't a good sign. She needed to be more aware of her surroundings than this. "Lila?" Her head lifted slowly, her eyes barely meeting mine before she breat

147. Be A Man

LINC -I paced the living room, my phone clenched in my hand, Selena's message and the image attached searing itself into my thoughts like a brand. Phoebe. I hadn't wanted to see her face again, had done everything I could to bury that pull, but there she was, smiling next to my sister like fate had just tossed another impossible choice at me. I hadn't asked for this. I'd deleted her text, blocked her out, and done everything right. But now, this picture. And it was Selena who sent it.I shivered. I didn't know how I'd handle this or keep it from pulling everything apart again. I couldn't do this on my own. This was the kind of thing that could ruin everything with Lila if I didn't handle it exactly right. If I misstepped here… I shoved the thought aside, refusing to think about it, and instead ran through my options. I could do one thing right now, one clear, honest thing. I'd tell her. The second she walked through that door, I'd be upfront and ask her what to do. I could follo

148. Energy

LINC -We stepped out of the bath, and I reached for a towel, pulling Lila close. She let me wrap her up. I dried her off gently, feeling like she might break in my hands. Like I was the one who would make this strong person shatter if I wasn't careful. I wasn't wrong. I moved to her stomach and felt the exhilaration I felt whenever I was near my baby girls. I could already feel their energy. They would be strong Oxford women. They already were. I pressed my hand against her belly and leaned close."Listen up, you two," I said with a grin. "You're coming into a world with one hell of a Mama. She's incredible, in case you didn't already know." I glanced up at Lila, catching her rolling her eyes as she smiled. "And…an alright dad. Most of the time."She laughed softly, and I kept going. "And an awesome big brother ready to protect you both with everything he's got. Then you have a... a..." I hesitated, and Lila chuckled. "an uncle," I added, landing on the title with a shrug. "An uncl

149. So Much More

LILA -I straddled Linc, keeping him pinned to the bed. I slid my fingers through his hair and leaned in until I was sure he could feel my breath on his skin. "You're mine," I whispered as my lips grazed his ear. "And I think you need a reminder."He tensed, his breathing sharp as I grabbed a fistful of his hair. I jerked his head back hard, exposing his throat to me. He fought it with a deep growl but didn't break free. He stayed still, his chest rising and falling fast against mine as I hovered over him.I rested my lips on the mark and slowly traced it with my tongue. He growled again, and it made me shiver when I felt it vibrate through the skin on his neck. I couldn't help the low growl in response. I let it vibrate against his skin. He reacted with a shudder as he rolled his hips up into me. I grabbed his hair tighter and yanked back."Stop," I said firmly as I held him still. "I'm in control here. You don't get to take over."He looked like he was about to challenge me. That

150. No One

LINC -My whole body burned under her as she lowered herself onto me, moving with the slowest, most deliberate control. Every nerve and sense was alive and raw, and I couldn't do anything but let her take the lead.I gave in, my whole body surrendering to her.She moved slowly, rolling her hips, drawing out every second in agonizing detail. I gritted my teeth, trying to keep the control I had left. But even that started slipping as she lowered herself further, dragging me into her rhythm."Lila," I groaned, feeling her power radiate through her, knowing that she loved seeing me desperate and raw like this.She leaned down, her lips hovering inches from mine, close enough to drive me mad. "You want a kiss?" Her tone was teasing, commanding, everything I craved and couldn't resist. "Then lift yourself up. I want you to earn it."I forced my back off the bed until my face hovered just below hers. I stayed in place, holding myself in that half-sit-up position."Good," she murmured. "Now s
