KIAN POV"Feet apart. Weight low. You're not trying to look impressive, Rhys, you're trying to stay upright when someone bigger than you tries to knock you down."I adjusted his stance carefully, watching him absorb the correction with the same solemn focus he brought to absolutely everything, and felt a fierce, private pride building in my chest that had nothing to do with technique at all."Like this," he said, resetting his footing with careful precision."Exactly like that."We'd been at this every morning for two weeks now, before the household properly woke, Robert occasionally joining to help with the basics while I focused on the parts that required an Alpha's particular strength to safely demonstrate. Rhys approached every single session with the same unnerving seriousness he brought to everything, absorbing correction without complaint, practising the same movement dozens of times until it settled properly into his body."Again," he said, already resetting before I'd even su

ELIRA POV"Absolutely not the zoo again. We went to the zoo three times last month."Kian's protest carried no real weight behind it, laughter evident despite his best efforts at mock exasperation, and Wren simply grinned up at him with the particular satisfaction of a child who'd correctly identified exactly how far she could push a doting father."Fine," she said, magnanimous in victory. "The lake, then. And a picnic. And I want to teach Lyra to swim, even though she's a baby and probably can't yet.""Probably not yet," I agreed solemnly, adjusting Lyra's sun hat where she dozed contentedly against my chest. "But we can absolutely have a picnic, and you can absolutely teach her all about the lake for when she's older."We spent the entire weekend exactly as promised, deliberately, completely centred around whatever Wren wanted, and I watched something bloom steadily in her over those two quiet days, a settling certainty that had nothing to do with dramatic gesture and everything to

ELIRA POV"You've let the northern shipping contracts lapse three times this quarter. I understand you have a rather significant excuse, but Elira, at some point Hart Exports needs its actual owner back at the wheel, at least occasionally."Dmitri delivered the observation with warm, familiar exasperation, spreading quarterly reports across the small conference table in my old office, considerably dustier than it used to be given how rarely I'd managed to visit these past two years."I know," I admitted, settling into my old chair with an odd, nostalgic ache. "I've been rather distracted.""Distracted is one word for it," Dmitri said, though his smile carried nothing but genuine fondness. "Four children, a reunited bloodline, a formal alliance between two entire territories. I'd say you've had a reasonably full plate."I laughed, studying the familiar office with fresh eyes, the framed photo of the twins as infants still sitting on the shelf where I'd left it years ago, considerably m

ELIRA POV"There's a little girl missing from the Fenwick territory. Three years old, wandered off near the river two hours ago. They've got search parties out, but the light's going and the water's running high this time of year."Silas delivered the update at dinner, careful not to alarm the children too much, though Rhys had already gone very still across the table, his fork abandoned halfway to his mouth."I can find her," he said quietly.Every adult at the table turned toward him at once."Rhys," I said carefully, "you don't have to—""I'm not scared," he said, and I recognised the particular steadiness in his voice, the same calm certainty he'd carried through every impossible moment this family had faced. "I had a dream three nights ago. I didn't understand it then. There was a little girl, and a hollow log near a bend in a river, and she was scared but okay. I think it was showing me this. I think it's been waiting for me to understand what it meant."Kian and I exchanged a l

ELIRA POV"I can't believe they're turning sixteen. Kian, it feels like Wren was arguing with you about the zoo yesterday."I said it quietly, watching through the kitchen window as Rhys and Wren argued good naturedly over something in the training yard, both of them taller now, sixteen years old and rapidly becoming the particular, distinct people they'd always been quietly growing into."Six years," Kian said, joining me at the window, disbelief evident in his own voice. "I keep doing the maths and it keeps coming out the same, impossible number."The full moon ceremony was three days away now, the twins' first, and the entire household had shifted into the particular, anxious preparation every pack family recognised, however many generations removed from their own version of it."Do you remember yours," I asked. "Your first shift.""Vividly," Kian said, something wry crossing his expression. "Considerably less complicated than what mine eventually became, given everything that foll
