DECLANThe drive back is silent.Antony sits in the passenger seat ahead of me, his hands folded in his lap. The driver keeps his eyes on the road, the hum of the engine the only sound filling the car. No one speaks. No one dares.I stare out the window, watching the landscape blur past—trees giving way to rolling hills, the human world fading behind us as we cross back into pack territory.Dr. W agreed.It should feel like a victory. We found her. Convinced her. My parents will be saved.But something about it sits wrong in my chest.It came too easily. Too quickly.One moment, she was shutting me down, c

ARIAEthan leads me away from the others, his hand gentle on my elbow. We stop near the edge of the road, far enough that his parents and the kids can't hear us."What did you want to talk about?" I ask, studying his face.He's quiet for a moment, his jaw working like he's trying to find the right words. Then he looks at me directly, his brown eyes serious."I don't believe you."I blink. "What?""When you say you're safe. That this is just work." He shakes his head slowly. "I know you don't lie, Aria. You never have. But that doesn't mean you've told us the whole truth."My chest tightens. "Ethan—""I'm n

ARIAIt was a cruel prank of fate."Your task," Celeste says, her eyes locked on mine, "is to treat my infertility."The words hit me like a physical blow.I stand perfectly still, my mask hiding everything—the shock, the way my stomach drops, the bitter laugh climbing up my throat that I refuse to let out. Of all the things I imagined when Declan's letter arrived, of all the scenarios I ran through while burning envelope after envelope—this never crossed my mind.He brought me here to help her have his child.Declan's brow creases slightly at Celeste's announcement, a flicker of irritation passing across his face. But before he can speak, Celeste turns and steps into him, her hand pressing

ARIAMaya's hands clench into fists at her sides, her expression shifting from disbelief to something darker. Harder."There's something you need to know," she says. "About Declan and Celeste."I sit on the edge of the bed, waiting."After you left—after the exile—Celeste started spreading stories. Love stories." Maya's voice drips with disgust. "She rewrote everything. Suddenly, you weren't Declan's girlfriend of three years. You were just... some girl who had a crush on him. Someone who misunderstood his kindness for something more."My jaw tightens."She told everyone that she and Declan had this instant, powerful connection the moment the fated bond appeared," Maya continues, her hands

DECLANI'm lying on my back in a field somewhere outside pack territory, the grass soft beneath me and the sky impossibly blue overhead. Spring. Everything smells green and alive, and there's a breeze carrying the scent of wildflowers.Aria is beside me, curled into my side with her head on my chest. Her hair is loose, spilling across my shoulder in waves that catch the light. I can feel her breathing, steady and peaceful, and my arm is wrapped around her like it belongs there.We've been laughing about something. She doubles over, gasping for breath between giggles, her eyes bright and unguarded. I pull her down onto the grass and she comes willingly, fitting against me.No one knows we're here. That's the best part. Out here, away from the pack, away from the whispers and the judgment, we'r
