The words hung in the air.Annie's eyes went wide, her mouth falling open. Fresh tears spilt—but these were different. Not entirely grief. "A boy?" Her voice was barely a whisper. "I'm having a boy?""Yes." Peggy's hands slowly lowered, the magic dissipating. "A very strong and healthy boy.""Oh, my god." Annie's laugh was half sob, half wonder. Her hands pressed against her belly with new meaning. "A son. Killian's son. We're having—""A boy!" Kael whooped suddenly, his grief momentarily forgotten in the rush of joy. "We're getting a nephew! A little warrior!"Dante's face split into a grin despite everything. "Yesss! I knew it. I knew it was a boy.""You did not," Kael said, "You said the other day that you were sure it was a girl.""I changed my mind.""That's not how predictions work Dante—" Onika said smiling. "Shut up, I'm celebrating." Dante moved to Annie's side, taking her hand. "A nephew. A son. He's going to be incredible, Annie. Just like his father."The mention of Killi

"An excellent question." Candice resumed her pacing, faster now. "Vampires attack people all the time. That's what we do. But the Ravens, attacking someone connected to the Zerok family, while rumours conveniently circulate that I'm planning war?" She shook her head. "That's not a coincidence. That's orchestration.""What are you saying?""I'm saying someone set us up." She stopped abruptly, her eyes widening with realisation. A laugh escaped her—sharp and incredulous. "Oh. Oh, those clever little bastards.""What? Who?""Tommy and Connor."The names hit Killian like a physical blow. "Tommy and Connor? What do they have to do with this?"Candice turned to him, and for the first time since he'd met her, he saw genuine emotion on her face. Not amusement or cruelty—but recognition. Understanding. "Just last week, Tommy and Connor came to me. They were... desperate. Begged me to help them.""Help them with what?""To take down the Zerok family." She said it matter-of-factly, watching his

He looked like death. His clothes were torn and bloodstained. Bandages wrapped around his wrists where the wolfsbane chains had burned him. More bandages at his throat, covering the puncture wounds from Candice's fangs. His face was pale, drawn, with dark circles under his eyes deep enough to drown in.But he was standing. He was breathing. He was alive.For a moment, no one moved. No one spoke.Then Kael took a single step forward, his expression caught between hope and terror. "Killian?""Is it really you?" Dante's voice was barely a whisper. "Or are you—are you one of those things now? A Wraith?"Killian's lips curved into the faintest, most exhausted smile. "It's me. I wasn't turned."Onika's breath hitched. Tears sprang to her eyes. "Oh god. It's really you Alpha."The room exploded into motion.Kael crossed the room immediately, pulling Killian into a crushing embrace. Killian gasped—in pain and relief—as his brother held him. "You're alive. You're alive. I thought—we all though

"A truce?" Annie's voice climbed. "With Candice? The same woman who—""Tommy and Connor are the real enemies. They're the ones who orchestrated all of this."Annie's breath came faster. "You're alive because you made a deal with—""I'm alive because of you." Killian's voice broke. "You came for me. You and Peggy burst in there like angels and saved all of us. If you hadn't—" He couldn't finish. Couldn't even think about what would have happened."But I broke my promise," Annie said, fresh tears spilling. "I promised I'd stay home. I promised I wouldn't do anything. But the baby—our baby spoke to me, Killian. Told me you were in danger. And I couldn't—I couldn't just sit there and let you die—""Hey." Killian cupped her face, tilting it up so their eyes met. "You saved my life. You saved Dante, Kael, Adam, Onika—all of us. You were extraordinary.""But I left you—""You were extraordinary," he repeated firmly. "And I'm so proud of you, Annie."A sob-laugh burst from Annie. "Really?""I
