Dante and Peggy stood there, silent for a moment until Dante finally broke the silence. "Hey, uhm, I just wanted to say I really appreciate you for always sticking your neck out for my family even though we don't deserve it.""Whatever Dante, I'm just glad I'm able to help." She turned but Dante caught her wrist and spun her around to face him. She almost fell, he held her and pulled her onto his chest and kissed her. Dante pulled back slightly, his breathing ragged, his forehead pressed against Peggy's."I shouldn't have—" His voice was rough. "God, Peggy, I'm sorry. That was inappropriate."Peggy silenced him by grabbing his face with both hands and kissing him with everything she had. Something broke loose in Dante.His hands were everywhere—tangling in her hair, sliding down her waist. Peggy's fingers worked frantically at the buttons of his shirt, tearing one loose in her haste. It clattered to the stone floor.Dante swept his arm across the council table in one violent motion.

Katherine held up a hand for silence. "Belarie approached Lauren about twenty years ago. He pursued her relentlessly, even knowing she was married. And he was always there when she needed him. Every time Theron—your father—every time he terrorised her, hurt her, tried to strip her of her power and position, Belarie was there to comfort her.""That doesn't make it okay!" Killian said. "She cheated on Dad—""You don't understand what it was like," Katherine interrupted, her voice rising. "Being married to a man who wanted you dead. Who saw your strength as a threat? A man who never saw his wives as his family, who had no affection for his wife or anything apart from his legacy. Theron was jealous of Lauren's power, her position as Alpha. He tried to take everything from her—her pack, her title, her dignity. He beat her. He humiliated her. He made her life a living hell." She glared at all of them one after the other. "I know exactly how that feels."The room was silent now."Lauren want

But he pulled away, gasping. "We can't. We're twins. This is wrong.""Who says?" I whispered, trailing fingers down his chest, feeling his heart race. "Who made those rules, Owaine? Old fools afraid of what they don't understand?"He shook his head, but his hands stayed on my hips. "It would kill Mother.""Mother's weak. She let Father die. If you don't want this, then why is your cock stiff? Don't pretend—you're hard for me right now, brother. Your body betrays your words."His breath hitched, cheeks flushing. "Annitore—"I pressed closer, lips brushing his ear. "Rules are chains. Break them with me. We're meant for this. Two halves, one flame."He trembled, eyes closing. I felt him waver—then he pushed me back gently, stepping away before he crumbled."I can't," he said, voice breaking. "It's wrong. Stop this madness or I'll be forced to tell mother."He fled the cottage, leaving me alone.Rage exploded through my body. Flames erupted from my hands, scorching the walls, the table, t

Annitore's POVI told him what I've done. About the ritual. About the immortality now running through my veins."I can't die," I said. "Nothing can kill me now. We're safe. No one can separate us ever again."Owaine looked at me with awe and terror and love all mixed."What did it cost?" he asked quietly."Everything... all our siblings," I admitted.He held me tighter. "Was it worth it?""Maybe," I said.He wasn't mad at all he just held me closer and somehow, that made it beautiful.We settled into another village. ****The Threshold Back in the grey mist of the threshold, Annitore turned to Annie with an almost curious expression."So," she said softly. "Now that you've heard my story—what do you think? Am I evil? Or was I made into one?"Tears streameddownAnnie'sface, her hands trembling."You killed children," she whispered, one hand going to her belly. "Your own siblings. Five of them."Annitore didn't flinch. "I did.""Then you're a monster," Annie said, her voice breaking.

Mallory stood in the bathroom of her hotel room, staring down at the pregnancy test stick in her trembling hands.Positive.Two pink lines. She was pregnant.With Kael's baby.The man who was asking her for a divorce.She looked at the papers spread across the bathroom counter—official documents with legal seals, Kael's signature already there in black ink. All that was missing was hers.Her phone rang, shattering the silence.She grabbed it, saw the hospital's number, and her blood ran cold."Mallory? This is Dr Clifford. Your daughter Darlene—has had another episode. A bad one. You need to come immediately."The phone nearly slipped from Mallory's hands. "I'm on my way."She threw on clothes with shaking hands, grabbed her purse, and ran.***Mallory burst through the doors to Darlene's room and found her daughter hooked up to machines, her body looking so sickly in the white sheets.Doctor Clifford was waiting, his expression was grave."Mallory, I need to be honest with you.
