TANYA'S POVThe hypothesis showed up at eleven PM while I was making tea and not really thinking about anything.That was how research ideas worked sometimes. They didn't care about your schedule. They arrived in the spaces between other things, when your brain had stopped pushing, and the background part of it had been turning the problem over without you noticing. I was standing at the little kitchenette counter in the graduate research block, watching the kettle, single room, nothing fancy, just functional. The water was heating, and I was thinking about nothing in particular, and then the mechanism just clicked into place. Complete. Like it had been sitting there the whole time, waiting for me to stop looking directly at it.I stood there for maybe forty-five seconds, kettle starting to rumble, running the idea against everything I already knew about the data. It held.Then I sent the message to Gideon and went to my desk and started writing it down before it could slip away.---

Tanya's POVOctober arrived with the third-phase design committee's response.No approval. Not yet. Just a request for more documentation on the expanded methodology's intermediate variable measurement protocol. Three specific questions from the review committee. They were detailed and technical, the kind of questions that only come when people have actually read the design all the way through and found the spots where the argument still needed more weight behind it.I had been expecting questions. The jump from the original design to this expanded version was big enough that nobody on the committee was going to sign off without seeing more. I'd been building the backup documentation since the day we submitted, trying to guess where the gaps would show up. Two of the three questions landed right where I'd thought they would. The third one was sharper than I had braced for. It took two full days of extra work to get the answer right.Elias and I spent those two days in the lab. Nothing

The north ridge felt different tonight.The wind was sharper. The shadows between the trees seemed to move even when nothing touched them. I walked beside Gideon with my hand brushing his arm every few steps — not because I needed the contact, but because I could feel the tether pulling at him like a hook caught under his ribs. Every few minutes, his breath would catch, just slightly, and the bond would flare with something that wasn’t pain exactly. It was more like pressure. Wrong magic trying to rewrite something that belonged to us.He was still trying to hide it.I wasn’t letting him.“Stop clenching your jaw,” I said quietly as we reached the perimeter light. “It’s not helping.”Gideon shot me a sideways look that would have been intimidating if his eyes weren’t already flashing gold every other second. “I’m fine.”“You’re not.” I kept my voice low so the others wouldn’t hear. “And lying about it is wasting energy you don’t have.”Max was already at the tree line, checking the si

TANYA'S POV The ridge was really quiet now. I could still feel the magic in the air. It was like a humming noise.. I could smell the blood and ozone. It was a smell. I was still on my knees beside Gideon. I had one arm around his waist. The other hand on his chest. His heart was beating fast.The tether was still there. I could feel it. It was like a splinter under my skin. It was weaker now. We had done some damage to it. We had done it together.Gideon was breathing hard. His eyes were clear when he looked at me. I could see the gold in his eyes. It was like his wolf was there. He looked relieved."You okay?" he asked me. His voice was rough.I nodded. My own wolf was still really upset. We had just been in a fight. "I am better than you, " I said. "Do not lie to me about the tether now."Gideon smiled a little. He looked tired. "It hurts a lot," he said. "It is not pulling as hard. You felt it too, did you not? When we hit her together."I said, "I felt it." I was still close to h

Tanya's POVThe team got to work away after our morning meeting. As soon as we left the dorm common room, Gideon kept his hand in mine while we walked across campus to the research wing. People were still talking about the "rogue incident," giving us eyed looks as we passed, but we didn't pay them any mind. We had work to do.Elias had pulled data overnight from the ridge fight, and he wanted to show us something in his lab. Liam and Seraphine came with us while Max said he'd catch up after checking in with campus security. Gideon refused to rest as the others had suggested. He stayed beside me the whole way, the bond between us humming steadily. Every step I felt it give another small tug on him, but I stayed close, feeding that steady warmth through the connection like we'd learned last night.When we got to Elias's lab, he already had three screens lit up with charts and energy readings. He didn't even look up when we walked in."Sit," he said, gesturing at the stools. "You need to
