221. Take It

CAST -The night stretched endlessly, each tick of the clock reminding me I wasn't going to sleep anytime soon. Tessa had adjusted my meds earlier in the week, upping the dosage just enough to screw with me. It wasn't the first night I'd spent like this, wide awake while the rest of the pack slept. It was starting to wear me thin.Kat, on the other hand, was out cold. Her body rested against mine, curled into my chest like she couldn't get close enough. The warmth of her breath skimmed my skin, steady and soft, the kind of rhythm that should've been calming. I trailed my hand over her back, tracing idle patterns out of habit more than intent.The room we were in wasn't really ours. It belonged to Lila, and she had Declan here, then briefly to me when I didn't have anywhere else to go. Now it was just "the extra," a placeholder no one had claimed outright. Yet, it was starting to feel like ours. Our stuff was scattered across the dresser and floor, the bed smelled like her shampoo, an

222. Love Him

LILA - The knock startled me. My body stiffened as I clung to the remnants of composure, the ache in my chest almost unbearable. Cast turned off the shower and stepped out, grabbing a towel. I watched him wrap it around himself and head for the door. He seemed far too calm for this. "I've got it," he said, glancing back briefly.I didn't respond. The nausea still twisted in my stomach, and the bond with Linc burned at the edges of my mind, an unwelcome intrusion that wouldn't stop.Cast opened the door, sticking his head out just enough to block whoever it was from seeing inside. "I just finished showering, and Lila's getting cleaned up now. She threw up all over both of us," he explained, his voice casual like it wasn't a blatant lie. "I'll be out in a minute."I froze, heat flushing through me. Not from embarrassment but from pure fury.Before I could think twice, I grabbed a towel and stepped out of the shower, forcing down the bile rising in my throat. The lie was too much, and

223. Just Tell Me

LINC - Her skin was soft and smooth beneath my hands as I traced the curves of her body. I felt the goosebumps rise on her skin as I kissed her neck. The way she responded to my touch left no doubt. She wanted me as much as I wanted her. We fit together perfectly. My fingers slid over her back, savoring the warmth radiating from her. She leaned into me, her breath feathering against my neck as I pulled her closer. Her hands roamed, exploring me in ways that made everything else dissolve into nothingness. The sound of her heartbeat thrummed against my chest, grounding me in the moment, in her. My mouth moved over her skin, tasting every inch. She arched under me, her body soft and eager. I pulled back just enough to look at her, but the shadows covered her face. "I need you," I murmured, letting my lips find hers again. The kiss built into something that made us feel endless. Like our bodies could melt together and become one. My body moved against hers as I growled against her

224. Broke

Declan’s breathing finally evened out, his tiny body curling against me in complete trust. I placed him back in his crib, smoothing the blanket over him as gently as I could. The nursery quieted again, leaving just the soft hum of the baby monitor in the corner.I turned to CeCe, still sitting on the floor near the crib. Her hands rested in her lap, and her focus stayed on Declan. “He’s fine now. You should go back to your room and get some sleep.”She hesitated, biting her lip. “Helena’s in there… busy.”I raised a brow. “Busy?”She shifted awkwardly. “With her boyfriend. I don’t really want to walk in on that.”I crossed my arms, leaning back against the edge of the crib. “Are they being safe?”“As best they can,” she admitted, looking at her hands. “The healers won’t exactly help with that kind of thing. It’s… hard to get what we need.”“That’s just the old traditions still lingering,” I explained. “The healers were scared of the old alpha and stuck to whatever rules kept them out

225. Us

CAST -I wasn't sure why it happened. Why Linc let it happen. Why any of us did. It was like the moment had taken on a life of its own, and we were just caught in its current. She had crumbled onto the floor, overwhelmed by how we were acting. I couldn't leave her there. I bent down and scooped her up, her body slack against me, and something in the way she folded into my arms shattered the last of my restraint.Her lips were right there, and I didn't think before kissing her. It wasn't soft or cautious. It was the kind of kiss that demanded more. Her lips pressed back against mine, but then she broke away, looking toward Linc. He was already behind her, his hands resting on her sides, his fingers dragging in slow, deliberate patterns on her growing belly. She looked caught between us, her breaths uneven as her eyes darted back to me. She was about to panic."You need us both, don't you? Just… just let it happen." My lips brushed hers again, desperate to pull her back to me.Her att

226. Both Of You

LINC - I didn't remember him doing it. Cast didn't remember either. Even Lila, shaking and pale, said she had no recollection of the bite. Yet, as we sat there on the bed in the pool house, trying to piece it all together, his mark stood out darker than mine. It wasn't subtle. It wasn't something we could brush off. We all sat there, unable to articulate the emotions bouncing heavily between us. Between the three of us. She was caught in the middle, her entire body shaking. One hand was pressed to the mark on her neck, the other resting over her stomach. I sat on one side of her, Cast on the other, and we both touched her in the same way. A hand on her knee, the other on her back, trying to steady her, or maybe ourselves. She shifted between us restlessly, leaning against me for a moment, then to him. Her breathing was uneven, and I couldn't stop running my fingers lightly over her skin, trying to calm her. Cast and I didn't look at each other. We couldn't. We didn't need to.

227. Babies

I woke up to an empty bed. The absence was immediate, the warmth gone. Stretching out, I let my hand graze the sheets, confirming they were cool. They hadn't been in bed for a while. The faint hum of water and voices carried through the room, pulling me from the remaining haze. I followed the sound to the bathroom door. It was cracked open, steam curling out. Their voices grew clearer as I leaned in to look. Lila sat on the built-in bench, with the water spraying down her back. Cast knelt in front of her, his hands resting gently on her stomach. He spoke softly, leaning closer, and even though the words weren't meant for me, they hit me hard. "I'll be there for them, for you," he murmured. "No matter what. Even if I have to handcuff myself to you to make sure I don't screw this up again." She laughed out loud as he started feathering kisses across her growing stomach to try to tickle her. She leaned forward and pulled him up. Their lips met, and I stayed frozen at the door

228. I Don't Care

CAST - The day felt light. That was the only way to describe it. Everything seemed easier now that things were settling, now that we'd found balance. I needed to head to the office, but I didn't want to leave her behind."Come with me," I said, grabbing my keys.She tilted her head, curious but not hesitant. "What about Declan?"Before I could answer, Linc stepped into the room, already holding Declan in one arm. "I've got him," he said, adjusting the boy who giggled and swatted at his face. "I'll stay here and handle some things around the house. You two go have fun. I'll keep things under control."Lila stepped closer to him, brushing a hand over Declan's head. Linc leaned down, catching her lips in a kiss that lingered long enough to make me smirk.When they pulled back, he rested his forehead briefly against hers. "I love you. Have fun with him while you're gone."Her cheeks flushed, but she nodded, and I grabbed her hand, tugging her toward the door. Linc waved us off, Declan's

229. Okay

LILA - I shifted out of his lap and moved to the couch. Sitting there felt more composed, more like I could handle whatever was about to walk through that door. Cast crossed to the door, pulling it open so he could see the elevator. He'd set the office up intentionally, giving himself that small buffer for moments like this.I couldn't see from where I sat, but I heard the elevator chime. Cast tensed immediately, muttering under his breath, "Shit."My stomach dropped. "What?"He glanced over his shoulder as he bit back a growl. "Kat. Fuck, I'm sorry. Let me handle this, please. The alpha energy is going to be..."I cut him off as it hit me, the ripple already making me shake. "I'll do my fucking best, but don't let her touch you. I mean it."He nodded sharply, stepping back to let her in. Kat stalked through the door. She paused and looked over at me first. "I'm sorry you have to be here for this," she said flatly before turning to Cast.She pulled something from her bag and tossed i

230. Be There

CAST - Linc drove us back to the packhouse, silent and focused on the road. In the backseat, Lila curled into me, her body trembling as the tears refused to stop. I kept my arms wrapped around her, my grip firm even as I felt like I was unraveling inside.She didn't stop crying, and I didn't ask her to. It was all I could do to hold her, to try to keep myself steady while my thoughts spun out of control.The ride stretched on, each second dragging. I tried to focus on the steady rhythm of the truck, the faint hum of the tires, and anything to distract from the storm building in my chest. But nothing worked.By the time Linc pulled into the driveway, my hands were clenched so tightly around her that I had to force myself to relax. I climbed out first, taking her with me as she refused to let go. Her arms stayed wrapped around me, her face buried against my chest as I carried her into the house.The living room was quiet, and the soft hum of the heater was the only sound until CeCe app
