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.

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

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

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

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
