ALEXANDER“That went better than expected,” Ryker said once we were safely back in neutral territory. “I honestly thought they might attack us.”“They had every right to.” I pulled out my phone, checking for messages. Nothing from Dr. Sarah, which I chose to interpret as good news. “But Marta was right. This is just the first step. I have years of work ahead.”“At least now you have one pack willing to vouch for you. That’s more than you had yesterday.”We made camp for the night, the two warriors we’d brought setting up a perimeter while Ryker started a fire.“How do you think Alina’s doing?” I asked, unable to stop myself from worrying.“She’s fine. Dr. Sarah would have contacted us if anything had changed.” Ryker poked at the fire. “You need to trust that she’s being taken care of.”“I do trust it. That doesn’t mean I don’t worry.”“Fair enough.” He was quiet for a moment. “You know, when you first told me you’d found your mate, I thought you were going to drive her away with your

ALINADr. Sarah approached, smiling. “I hate to interrupt, but I need to examine everyone. Make sure mom is recovering well and the babies are adjusting.”Reluctantly, I let her take the twins for their full assessments. Alexander stayed close, watching everything like a hawk.“Both babies are perfect,” Dr. Sarah announced after thorough examinations. “Seven pounds three ounces for Erik, six pounds fourteen for Luna. Excellent APGAR scores. No complications.”“And Alina?” Alexander asked.“Tired, sore, but healthy. Everything went as well as we could have hoped.” She turned to me. “You’ll need to rest, let your body recover. But you did beautifully, Luna.”“When can I see them again?”“They’re right here.” The assistants brought both babies back, settling one in each of my arms again. “They’re not going anywhere.”The door opened and Ryker poked his head in cautiously. “Is it safe to enter or are we still in the screaming phase?”“Come in,” I said, laughing. “Meet your niece and nephe

ALEXANDERThat afternoon, after both babies had been fed and changed and were miraculously napping again, Alina got dressed in actual clothes for the first time since the birth.“How do I look?” she asked, turning to face me.“Like a new mother who’s exhausted but trying to look presentable for her friend.”“So, terrible?”“I didn’t say terrible. You look beautiful. Just tired. You should be resting.”She sighed. “I guess that’ll have to do. Hailey’s seen me at my worst anyway. This is hardly the most disheveled I’ve been.”I walked with her to the guest quarters where Hailey was staying. My instincts were on alert, I knew Alina trusted this woman, knew she’d helped her escape and survive. But I was also Alpha, responsible for pack safety, and every new person was a potential threat until proven otherwise.Especially now, with the Survivors’ Alliance organizing and James actively recruiting against me.“Stop looking so suspicious,” Alina murmured as we approached the door. “Hailey is

ALINAHis fingers found me, wet and ready, and I gasped at the contact. It had been so long. It felt like years since we’d been intimate like this, and my body responded instantly, desire overwhelming any lingering soreness.He worked me with patient skill, relearning what made me gasp and writhe, adjusting when I winced or tensed. It was intimate in a way it had never been before, this careful mapping of my changed body, this trust between us.When his fingers slipped inside me, I tensed instinctively, my mouth falling open on a sound that never makes it past my throat.Alexander immediately freezed, his movements halting completely.“Are you okay? Do you need me to stop?” He asked, his eyes searching and encouraging.I took a breath, letting myself get lost in his eyes. The way he was looking at me like I’m the most precious thing in the world. Slowly, my body started to relax. “Okay. Just go slow.”He nodded, keeping his eyes on me, his fingers started moving with excruciating gent

ALINAThat night, after both babies were fed and changed and finally sleeping, Alexander pulled me into his arms.“Tell me the truth,” he said. “How worried should I be about Hailey?”“She’s my friend. She wouldn’t betray me.”“Even for her people? Even if James convinces her that helping him is the right thing to do?”I wanted to argue, to insist Hailey would never. But I couldn’t be completely sure. She was conflicted, torn between worlds, and people did unpredictable things when they felt caught between loyalty and justice.“I trust her,” I said finally. “But I also understand your caution.”“I’m not trying to drive a wedge between you two. I just need to protect the pack. Protect our family.”“I know.”He was quiet for a moment, then said, “There’s something else. The council wants to meet. They’re concerned about the Alliance, about James’s influence. They think we need to take a stronger stance.”“What kind of stance?”“Preemptive action. Strike first before James can organize f
