2- 50. Safe

DECLAN -Neither of them moved at first. Linc's arm stayed wrapped around Dad. It took a second before Linc's breathing shifted. His fingers tightened just slightly, enough to make Dad stir against him. A slow inhale, then a heavier exhale as his body tensed with awareness. I almost regretted waking them up. Linc blinked first. Dad groaned low, rubbing his face before pushing himself up. They didn't separate fully. They never did when things were bad. Even now, as Dad sat back, he stayed close enough that their arms still touched. It was barely anything, but it was enough to remind me exactly how much worse this was than I thought. Dad rubbed his eyes again before looking at me. "What time is it?" "Late," I answered. "Or early. Take your pick." Linc sat up, rolling his shoulders before bracing his elbows on his knees. "Something wrong?" I scoffed. "Yeah. We need to talk." Dad pushed a hand through his hair, eyes sharpening as the exhaustion slipped from his face. He looked at Mo

2- 51. Nothing Ever Is

DECLAN - I stalked into the woods, the burn under my skin refusing to settle. Distance. That's what I needed. From them. From myself. A crack of branches behind me. Light, deliberate. Not an accident. Someone was following me. My instinct sharpened. My stride slowed just enough to listen, to confirm. Then I saw a flash of white fur through the trees. White wolf. My pulse kicked up, frustration twisting into something sharper. Gaia. Of course she'd follow me. I just needed a damn minute away from her, away from all of it. But she never listened, always pushing, always there, like she thought she knew me better than I knew myself. I turned, already scowling, already ready to snap at her for not giving me space. Then I saw the eyes. Not red. Not Gaia. Spinning around, I let the frustration rise. "You can leave! I don't need a babysitter! Your sister is at the house. Thanks." Ian shifted mid-step, his skin replacing fur like it was the easiest thing in the world. No hesitation.

2- 52. Fate Intervenes

DECLAN - I stepped into the house, shutting the door harder than necessary. The wreckage on the couch stopped me cold. A shredded pile of stuffing spilled over Suki's lap. I thought she loved it. She had smiled when I gave it to her. Had hugged it like it meant something. Now it was in pieces, and she was picking it apart like it never mattered. The ache hit hard and fast. My throat felt tight. I stared at the mess, then at Suki, waiting for an explanation."I guess I messed it up," I muttered. "Sorry."Suki barely glanced up, still picking at the remains. "No. It's still perfect. I'm putting it back exactly like it was. But look."She held up something from the pile. A small, chewed-up recorder, the edges mangled with deep bite marks. She pressed a button. A voice crackled through the damage, steady and clear.Suki's mom.The hair on my arms raised instantly. I barely remembered her, but I heard the stories. Cece had been my nanny before she died. Before I could form real memories

2- 53. You All Done?

Gaia walked in with Linc trailing behind her an hour later. He and Dad had finally come back to life after crashing together again once I'd left. Linc stretched, rubbing his face before looking at me. "Get dressed. You're coming to court with me."I blinked. "What?"He didn't repeat himself. Just walked to his room like this wasn't a discussion."I can't leave the girls here alone," I argued, following him toward his bedroom. "Not with everything going on."Dad stepped out of the bathroom, towel slung over his shoulders, as Linc walked in to shower behind him. "I'll watch them."Mom smirked. "Because they really need you to?"That hit harder than she meant it to. The girls could handle themselves. I knew that. But the idea of leaving them unsettled something in me. I couldn't just go play lawyer's assistant while they were still dealing with everything.Dad must have noticed how I was not handling this well because he sighed. "Declan. They'll be fine. I've got them, really."Mom stepp

2- 54. Detail That Matters

Linc didn't fill the silence with useless words. He never did. That was something I always liked about him. Unlike Dad, who could rile me up without even trying, Linc had this way of keeping things level. He didn't challenge me the way Dad did, and he didn't press until I lashed out. Maybe that was why, out of everyone, he was the one I could actually talk to about this right now.Linc kept one hand on the wheel, the other tapping absently against his thigh. "You want to tell me what's been going on in that head of yours?"I exhaled, watching the buildings blur past the window. "I feel like I messed up."He didn't react, just kept his focus on the road. "With the girls?""Yeah.""Explain."I ran my tongue over my teeth, considering how to word it. "They told me not to screw this up. Over and over. Don't get involved. Don't let anyone get close. So I didn't. I pushed everyone away. And now?" I shook my head. "I did exactly what they warned me not to."Linc was quiet for a beat. Then,

2- 55. For A Reason

The client arrived five minutes after the case had started. The doors swung open, interrupting the judge mid-sentence, and in walked a woman who commanded the entire room's attention. The shift in energy was immediate. Conversations stuttered to a halt, and even the judge glanced up, mildly annoyed at the disruption. She was striking. Sharp features, dark hair pinned back, and an unmistakable air of authority. Not the kind that came from arrogance but the type that had been earned. The kind that demanded respect without asking for it. She wasn't just anyone. She was an alpha, that much was for sure. But what caught my attention more than anything was the way Linc reacted. He stiffened the second she stepped inside. His entire posture, typically so composed, went rigid. For the first time in my life, I watched him look almost… uneasy in court. That never happened. Linc was the definition of control. He walked into rooms like he owned them, took on cases without hesitation, and neve

2- 56. To You

The defense didn't have much. They knew it, too.I watched as their lead attorney fumbled through statements, trying to spin what was already undeniable. He spoke in circles, leaning on technicalities that had already been dismissed earlier in the case. The jury barely reacted. They weren't buying it. Neither was the judge. I had been sitting through this trial for hours, but this was the moment that stood out the most, watching someone try to cover something so blatantly wrong with weak excuses.Some of what he said didn't even make sense.I glanced at Linc when one of the defense attorneys said something about "reinstating the natural order." Linc shifted slightly but didn't react. Nessa, seated beside him, didn't flinch either. If anything, she looked bored. Like she had expected this level of failure from them.After another ten minutes of stumbling nonsense, the judge sighed and glanced at the clock. "The jury will now deliberate. Due to the late hour, we will adjourn and reconve

2- 57. This

Linc didn't answer. He just stood there, silent. Whatever Nessa had meant about my eyes, whatever it was that had rattled him so badly, he wasn't going to explain it.Instead, he sighed. "Drop it for now. There's too much happening at once, and we don't need another thing on top of it."That didn't settle right. "Is it bad?"For the first time since we left court, Linc actually smiled. "No. This one isn't bad. Just not something we need to bring up right now."I let it go for now.The only thing I still needed to know, the one thing clawing at my brain, wasn't about Nessa or the case or even Kat. "You used to talk about your dreams. About her. Do you still have them? Even now that she is..."Linc shifted. "Same as always. Before and after. Gets worse when I get stressed. Unless your dad... well, let's just say there are reasons I seek him out sometimes."That was enough of an answer for me. I didn't press further.We drove back in silence. My head was a mess.Linc's fated mate had bee

2- 58. Live It Out

Something about that answer stuck in my head longer than it should have.I hesitated, then typed out another message. "Are you going to freak out if Suki and I... happen?"Gaia took longer to respond this time. When she did, the answer wasn't what I expected."I know this won't end unless you do. I hate it, but I know what we are. I was never your mate until I marked you. So, live it out. Get it out of your system so you can come back to me."I swallowed hard, staring at the screen. I was unsure what to even say to that. Before I could decide, another message popped up."But if you go further with her than we did... I might get a little mad."I exhaled sharply, locking my phone and setting it down. That didn't feel like jealousy. It felt like an inevitability. Like Gaia knew exactly what was going to happen and had already made peace with it, or at least convinced herself she had.Suki stretched out on the bed, her hair a mess, looking like she had been waiting for me to stop fighting

2- 59. Stop

I wanted to keep going, wanted to lose myself in her, but the thought of Gaia snapped through the haze. If Jaed hadn't interrupted us, we would have slept together. There wouldn't have been a way to stop it. And now, here, with Suki pressing against me, that same fire was taking over. Except there wouldn't be any interruptions this time. No one to stop me before I crossed a line I wasn't ready for. And Gaia would know. I barely managed a nod, my voice rough and unsteady. "Yeah, I hope so." She kissed me. Nothing careful, nothing slow. She met me with the same intensity I felt, no hesitation, no second-guessing. My whole body locked up as raw need took over my senses. I gripped her thighs, dragging her into me, grinding against her, chasing that friction before I could stop myself. My head screamed to slow down, to think, but my body was already gone, already locked onto the way she felt against me.I had never let myself have this before, never let myself give in, and now I was seco
