Mia's POVI couldn't sleep that night. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Mira's confused face when I found her in that corner.Something doesn't add up. Kids don't just fall asleep in random places.Especially not Mira. She's always been cautious.I kept replaying the whole day in my mind. We were getting ice cream, everyone was happy, and then suddenly she was gone.How does a four-year-old just disappear like that?And why can't she remember anything?The more I thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. But suspicious of who? The brothers had their enemies, sure, but they weren't even there when it happened.Could it have been Liam?The thought made me feel guilty immediately. Liam had been nothing but supportive. He'd helped me search, comforted me when I was falling apart.But he was the one with us. He was the one who had access.Stop it, Mia. He loves these kids. He would never hurt them.Still, the doubt was there. Tiny but growing. I couldn't shake the feeling that som

Mia's POVI took a deep breath, steeling myself for what I was about to do. Setting boundaries with Xavier, Nathan, and Sean felt like walking through a minefield - one wrong step and everything could explode in my face."Alright," I said, turning back to face them. "If you really want this chance, then you'll follow my rules exactly. No negotiations, no arguments."Xavier nodded immediately. "Whatever you want, Mia. Just tell us.""First rule," I began, my voice firm and steady. "You don't get to call yourselves their fathers yet. You haven't earned that title."Sean's face darkened. "But we are their biological-""I said no arguments!" I snapped, cutting him off. "You want to be their fathers? Then prove it through your actions, not your DNA."The hurt in their eyes was obvious, but I pushed down any sympathy I might have felt. They needed to understand that being a parent was about more than just contributing genetic material.Nathan stepped forward, his jaw clenched. "Mia, that's

Mia's POVThe house felt suffocating after I'd thrown everyone out. My hands were still shaking from the adrenaline, and I could hear the kids whispering upstairs, probably trying to make sense of what they'd witnessed downstairs.I felt terrible about how things had ended, especially with Liam. He'd looked so hurt when I told him to leave, and guilt was eating away at me. Despite my growing suspicions, he'd been nothing but kind and supportive to me and the children.Maybe I should apologize, I thought, making my way toward the kitchen to pack some leftovers for him. It was the least I could do after embarrassing him in front of those three. The container felt heavy in my hands as I filled it with leftover pasta, my mind replaying the confrontation over and over.But as I reached for another container, I heard Liam's voice coming from outside. He was on the phone, and something in his tone made me freeze completely.I moved closer to the window, staying in the shadows so he wouldn't s

Mia's POVThe weight of everything that had happened was crushing down on me. My children were clinging to my legs, still shaken from being chased by masked strangers, and I felt like I was drowning in confusion and fear.This has to be connected to that organization, I thought, my mind racing. The same one that killed their father. The same one that's been terrorizing packs."Xavier," I said, looking up at him with determination I didn't really feel. "I need to go home. Not to the apartment - home home. To my father's pack."His eyebrows shot up. "Mia, that's-""It's the only place my children will be truly safe," I interrupted. "My brother is there, my father. They have the resources to protect us properly."I could see the reluctance in his dark eyes, but also understanding. He knew as well as I did that whatever was happening was escalating fast."Thank you," I said quietly, surprising myself with the sincerity in my voice. "For being here when I needed you, even if you were foll

Mia's POVLiam's question hung in the air between us, and I could see something calculating behind his concerned expression. My instincts were screaming at me to lie, to make up some excuse and get away from him as quickly as possible.But another part of me - the part that was tired of all the deception and games - wanted to just tell him the truth and see how he reacted.Maybe if I'm honest with him, I'll finally know for sure whether my suspicions are justified."I'm applying for a transfer," I said, watching his face carefully. "Back to my home pack."Liam's mask of concern slipped for just a moment, and I caught a flash of something dark in his eyes before he composed himself again."A transfer? Why?" he asked, his voice still gentle but with an underlying tension I'd never noticed before."I've decided to move my children back home," I continued, my heart pounding as I spoke. "They left last night with Daisy. I'll be joining them in two days."The silence that followed was deaf
