Chapter 281: Past OperativesXENOISRiley and Lake looked at each other, that silent communication happening again. Finally, Riley answered for both of them."They weren't exactly friends, not the same way Lake and I were. Snow loathed me, cause I was a werewolf, and I did not really.... I do not know suffer like she did, with Andy being my aunt and everything, she did try to kill me once though, so I guess we bonded. More like... fellow prisoners who sometimes worked together. But yeah. Part of me wants to know if they're okay. If they managed to build actual lives after everything.""And part of you wants backup," I said, not accusingly. "In case this situation goes bad.""Is that wrong?" Lake asked defensively. "Wanting someone who understands what we're up against, who knows how Andy's people operate?""No," I said firmly. "It's not wrong at all. It's smart tactical thinking. But we need to be realistic about what we're asking. Dex and Snow escaped. They're living free lives, or

Chapter 282: Slowly Building TrustXENOIS"Riley and Lake have been forced into situations where they had to develop these skills," I explained gently, kneeling beside Ollie's chair. "That's not something to be jealous of, buddy. That's trauma. That's survival. You get to be a normal kid because we can protect you. They didn't have that choice.""But I want to be useful," Ollie insisted, tears spilling over now. "I don't want to just hide while everyone else fights. I want to help protect people too."Riley was watching this exchange with that unnerving focus, his expression difficult to read. Then he spoke, his voice softer than I'd heard it."You are helping," he said to Ollie. "You're helping by being normal. By reminding everyone what they're fighting for. Warriors don't fight to protect weapons or tools. They fight to protect kids like you—kids who laugh and play and get to have actual childhoods. You're more important than you realize."The wisdom in those words, coming from a

Chapter 283: Midnight ConfessionsXENOISThe moment held, fragile and precious. Three boys—two who'd survived horrors and one who was trying to understand—connected by something deeper than blood or circumstance. Brotherhood, maybe. Or just the simple recognition that they were all in this together, whatever came next."Alright," Lumina said eventually, breaking the spell with gentle practicality. "It's after two in the morning. Everyone finish your cereal, brush your teeth, and get to bed. We can continue this conversation tomorrow when we're all less exhausted and emotional."There were murmurs of agreement, and the boys dutifully finished their midnight snacks, I caught Riley looking back at me with an expression I couldn't quite read."Dad?" he said quietly. "Thank you. For not being mad. About the volcano thing. Or the secrets.""I'm not mad," I assured him. "I'm grateful you trusted us enough to tell us. Even if we did kind of eavesdrop to hear it first."That earned a small sm

Chapter 284

Chapter 284: IntimacyLUMINAI woke to the sensation of being watched. Not the uncomfortable, predatory awareness that had haunted me since discovering the nightwalker's presence, but something warmer. Safer. I blinked my eyes open slowly, adjusting to the soft morning light filtering through our bedroom curtains, and found Xenois propped on one elbow beside me, his gaze fixed on my face with an intensity that made my breath catch."What are you looking at?" I asked, my voice still rough with sleep.His expression softened, something raw and vulnerable flickering across his features. "The prettiest thing ever," he said quietly. "I can't believe I almost lost this. Lost you. All because of my stupidity in allowing Sophia back into our lives."The words hit me square in the chest, unexpected and disarming. My marriage to Xenois had been rocky for months now—years, if I was being honest with myself. The Sophia situation had been the breaking point, the final straw that had shattered what

Chapter 285: Morning RoutineLUMINAFor now, though, we had this. This fragile, precious connection we'd managed to rebuild, at least partially."We should shower," Xenois said eventually, though he made no move to actually get up."Probably," I agreed. "We definitely smell like sex. The boys will notice."That got him moving. We reluctantly separated, and I felt the immediate loss of his warmth. But as we stumbled together into the ensuite bathroom, as Xenois turned on the shower and pulled me in with him, I felt something settle in my chest. Something that might have been hope.The shower was quick but thorough. We washed away the evidence of our morning activities, though I caught Xenois looking with satisfaction at the hickeys he'd left scattered across my neck and chest. They'd be visible even in my work clothes—a fact that would definitely raise eyebrows at the pack house, but I found I didn't particularly care.Let people talk. Let them see that their alpha and luna were workin

Chapter 286: Prepped For ClassLUMINABy the time all three were dressed and their backpacks were packed with notebooks, pencils, and lunch boxes, it was already 7:45. We had fifteen minutes to get breakfast into them and make the drive to school.Breakfast was a quick affair—cereal and fruit, juice for the boys and coffee for Xenois and me. We sat around the kitchen table, discussing plans for the day. Ollie was practically vibrating with excitement about his superhero presentation. Riley and Lake were quieter, clearly nervous about their first official day of school."You're going to do great," I assured them. "Mrs. Henderson is a wonderful teacher. Very kind and patient.""What if the other kids don't like us?" Lake asked quietly."They will," Ollie declared with absolute certainty. "Because you're awesome and you know cool stuff about portals and the future. Everyone's going to want to be your friend."Riley looked skeptical, but Lake seemed to take some comfort from Ollie's confi

Chapter 287

Chapter 287: School TimeOLLIESchool was exactly as I remembered it—loud, colorful, and full of energy that made my wolf practically bounce with excitement. The hallways smelled like cleaning supplies and crayons and that particular scent that was just "school," a mixture of books and lunch food and kids all packed together."This way," I said to Riley and Lake, leading them down the main corridor toward our classroom. "Mrs. Henderson is our homeroom teacher but today, we have Mrs Patty. She is really nice. She lets us have extra recess if we finish our work early, and she doesn't yell unless someone does something really bad like putting glue in someone's hair. Which only happened once and it wasn't me.""It was totally you," a voice called out, and I turned to see Troy Chen running up to us, his backpack bouncing against his shoulders. Troy had been my best friend since we were three, when we'd bonded over both being obsessed with superhero comics."It was not!" I protested, though

Chapter 288

Chapter 288: School BullyOLLIEThe classroom went quiet, all eyes turning to Lake. I felt anger flash through me—hot and protective and fierce. How dare Derek try to make Lake feel bad about what he was?"Derek, that's not an appropriate question," Mrs. Patty said firmly. "We don't interrogate our classmates about their heritage.""But it's true, right?" Derek pressed, ignoring the teacher's warning. "My dad said werewitches aren't real pack members. That they're not as strong as pure werewolves. That they're basically just—""Derek Johnson, principal's office, now!" Mrs. Patty's voice cracked like a whip, startling everyone. Her eyes had gone hard, all warmth replaced with steely authority. "We do not tolerate discrimination in this classroom. Pack law explicitly protects all supernatural beings regardless of heritage, and you will show your classmates respect or you will face consequences. Go. Now."Derek slouched toward the door, shooting Lake a nasty look as he passed. I was alr

Chapter 289

Chapter 289: School PoliticsOLLIEIt was a bold thing to say—invoking my father's authority, essentially threatening Derek's family with the possibility of a leadership challenge. But I was angry, and protective, and these were my brothers being attacked for something they couldn't control.Derek's face flushed red. "You can't just—""Actually, he can," Riley said quietly, stepping forward. "Pack law is clear. The Alpha's word is final on matters of pack membership. If Alpha Xenois accepted Lake, then Lake is pack, and anyone who disputes that is disputing the Alpha's judgment. Which is, technically, a challenge to his authority."The way Riley explained it—calm, logical, citing actual pack law—made Derek falter. He probably hadn't expected a five-year-old to throw legal precedent at him."Whatever," Derek muttered. "Come on, guys. Let's go play somewhere actually fun."He and his friends slouched off toward the far side of the playground, shooting dirty looks back at us. I watched t

Chapter 290: Frightened StaffsXENOISThe moment we turned onto our street, I knew something was wrong. My alpha instincts were screaming warnings before my conscious mind had even processed what I was seeing—our staff clustered outside the house in frightened groups, some of them visibly shaking, others speaking in hushed, urgent tones that carried the scent of panic even from this distance.I brought the car to an abrupt stop in the driveway, the tires crunching against gravel with more force than necessary. Beside me, Lumina had already tensed, her hand moving instinctively toward where she kept her phone, ready to call for backup if needed."Stay in the car," I said automatically to the boys in the backseat, though I knew even as I said it that they wouldn't listen. Not these three, not with their histories and instincts and the way danger seemed to follow them like a shadow.I was out of the vehicle before the engine had fully stopped, Lumina right beside me. Our head of staff—
