Sienna’s Point of View “Mommy, pleeease....” Aiden whines, dragging out the word like it might somehow break me down faster. His big brown eyes are wide and hopeful as he leans against the kitchen counter. I try to focus on the cup of coffee in my hand and not the way he is giving me that look, the one he knows I can’t resist. “Aiden...” I sigh. “...it is early, and I haven’t trained in… well... a really long time.” I say, buy he doesn’t even hesitate before speaking again. “Exactly! That is why we should go!” He says and I arch a brow at him. “That is not really how convincing arguments work, bug.” “Come on, Mom.” He begs, clasping his hands together dramatically “I’ll even do extra laps if you come with me.” I try to hold back a laugh, but his determination is just too much. “Extra laps, huh? You hate laps.” I say and he triumphantly grins at me, because he knows that he got me. “I’ll do them. I promise. Just please come with me.” I stare at him for another

Sienna’s Point of ViewI hum softly to the music playing from my phone on the counter, spinning the spatula in my hand like a microphone. The smell of pancakes and bacon fills the kitchen as I sway my hips, flipping the last pancake onto the plate.“Perfect timing,” I mutter to myself, setting the plate down.I turn the music up just a little more and start moving around the kitchen, setting the table while singing along. I’m halfway through the chorus when I hear the soft padding of little feet behind me.Aiden stumbles into the kitchen, his hair sticking up in every direction, rubbing his eyes like he’s still half asleep.“Good morning, bug!” I sing, spinning around with a grin. “How did you sleep?”He groans dramatically, slumping into the chair. “Tired…”I laugh, leaning down to press a kiss to the top of his messy hair before putting a glass of juice in front of him.“You’ll wake up once you eat,” I tease, sitting across from him.Just as I reach for the syrup, there’s a knock at

Sienna’s Point of ViewFor a few seconds, no one says anything after I open the door.Scott stands on the porch, his hands shoved into his pockets, his hair still slightly damp. His eyes drag over me slowly, not in a way that makes me uncomfortable, but like he is seeing me, really seeing me, for the first time.“Hi...” I say softly, suddenly feeling self-conscious under his gaze.His head snaps up, a warm smile spreading across his face. “Sorry... It’s just.. Wow. You look… beautiful.”He says and I feel heat rush to my cheeks. I shift on my feet. “Thank you.”He nods his head before leaning slightly to the side, staring past me.“Hey, troublemakers.”“Hey Scott.” Emma singsongs as she comes up behind me with a big grin on her face, while Aiden rushes over clinging to his legs.“Hi Uncle Scott!” He practically yells, and Scott chuckles. “Hey, little man. Are you going to be good for Emma tonight?”Aiden looks at her and grins. “Maybe.”He says cheekily and I let out a soft lau

Asher’s Point of View“Again.” I snap.The warrior in front of me hesitates for a second too long, and it only fuels the irritation simmering just beneath my skin. He lunges, too slow, too predictable. I sidestep him easily, grip his arm, and sweep his legs out from under him. He hits the ground with a grunt, but I don’t stop.I press my weight into the movement, twisting him around and slamming him into the dirt harder than I should. A sickening crack echoes across the training grounds. He cries out, clutching his shoulder.“Alpha!!!” Derek’s voice cuts through the red haze just as the warrior gasps in pain.I step back, my chest heaving. For a second, I’m not even sure how hard I hit him. Then I see the way he is curled in on himself, his shoulder at a weird angle, and my stomach drops.“Training is over.” Derek growls, marching towards me. He gestures to some of the other warriors standing at the edge of the field. “Get him to the clinic. Now.”They don’t need to be told twice

Sienna’s Point of View It is quiet in the house, Aiden is still at training and I am standing in the kitchen with a cup of coffee, staring out the window at the training grounds in the distance. A lot has happened in the past few weeks. Scott and I have been spending more time together, nothing too fast or intense, just… easy. Walks after dinner, training with Aiden, quiet talks late at night. He is steady, and grounding in a way that I didn’t know I needed. But no matter how much I try to keep my head clear, Asher keeps creeping in. Especially now that I know that his and Bianca’s baby has been born. A reminder that we can never be... I sigh, shaking the thought away just as I hear the front door open. “Mom! I’m home!” Aiden’s breathless little voice comes down the hall. I smile, putting my empty cup down before walking towards the living room just as he barrels in, his hair sticking up in every direction from training. “Hey, bug.” I say, catching him before he crashes
