Arya’s POV‘Mate!’ My wolf’s cry hit me so hard I nearly stumbled where I stood.Two Alphas were crossing toward the bar. Both of them radiated the kind of authority that made a room quieter without either of them trying. One moved calmly and easily. He was the picture of an Alpha comfortable in his own strength, unhurried in a way that made everyone around him relax a little just by proximity. The other stopped me cold. Every thought in my head went silent at once.He looked like my brother. My brother, who I had spent years believing was dead, buried somewhere I would never even get to visit.“Arya,” Freya said. “Which one is it? Which Alpha is your mate?”I just stood there, frozen. I couldn’t speak, couldn’t even move. My wolf had locked us both in place, and all I could do was stare.Then he saw me, and whatever he’d been saying to the man beside him died in his throat mid-sentence. He crossed the last of the distance at a dead run and pulled me into his arms before I knew what w

Freya’s POVPart of me felt relieved. No matter how indifferent Connor looked, he still held her hand and stayed by her side. He wasn’t ready to give up on her, just because Geoffrey opposed their mate bond.‘Perhaps he does care,’ my wolf mused.‘Can you blame him for not being happy about his mate being related to Geoffrey? Connor has the decency to not air out his dirty laundry to make a point,’ I said.But I could also tell where this was going. Tension was building fast between the two men, both staring each other down, and we were still right at the bar, in the middle of my birthday party. People were beginning to stare.“Get your hand off my sister,” Geoffrey growled.“Make me,” Connor responded firmly.I stepped between them before things got out of hand.“That’s enough, both of you,” I said, pulling Arya out of the middle. “Don’t make me command you both to behave.”“As you wish, Alpha Queen,” Connor said, and Geoffrey scoffed, but did not move toward Connor.“Arya needs time

Freya’s POVI walked to Connor’s room and knocked. He opened the door, his eyes wide when he saw me."Luna Freya, what are you doing here?" Connor said as he stepped aside. "You came all the way here?""I did. It's just a hallway, Connor. Not a mountain trail," I said as I stepped inside."You’re having twins." He said it as calmly as always, which somehow made it worse. "You could have mind-linked me. I would’ve come. You don’t need to be on your feet. You need to be resting.""Seriously, Connor? I’m pregnant, not fragile. Do you tell all the pregnant women here not to walk down a hallway?"“No. Goddess, no,” Connor said. “I didn’t mean it like that. I only meant that if you needed something, I’d rather come to you than have you come to me. That’s all. I apologize.”When I didn’t answer, Connor started to panic. He kept searching for the right words. When I felt I'd messed with him enough, I finally smiled. "Relax. I'm not upset. You’ve gotten so serious as you’ve gotten older."He e

Freya’s POV"It's fine," Arya said through gritted teeth. I could tell she was lying."Alpha Geoffrey." I forced a civil smile. "Go ahead.""Alpha Connor. My Alpha Queen." Geoffrey nodded, acting polite. "Do you know how long I've been looking for you? Years, Arya, and now here you are, just having lunch as if nothing happened."“Trying to have lunch,” Arya muttered.Geoffrey laughed, but there was a look in his eyes that made my skin crawl. He then reached over and ruffled Arya's hair. "Honestly, I almost forgot what you looked like.""Stop that," Arya said, jerking her head away and flattening her hair with a scowl. "I'm not a child. Eat your food and leave.""Leave? I just found you again, Arya." Geoffrey spread his arms, looking around the table for support. "You're really going to push me away like that? In front of everyone?""You know what I mean. We have time to catch up. It doesn’t have to be right now," Arya said. I smiled, glad she wasn’t falling for Geoffrey’s tricks.‘He

Logan’s POV“Clean up this mess,” I ordered the guards and omegas that were still in the dining hall. They put the tables back, wiped up the spilled food and drinks, and swept away the broken dishes.I led Freya out of the dining hall. Her movements seemed sluggish, and I caught her pressing a hand to her stomach. Then, I heard her stomach growl."You didn't eat, did you?"Freya tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "No, I barely ate anything before Connor and Geoffrey started arguing.""Let’s go back to the pack house. Nora can get you something to eat, and you can rest,” I suggested.“No, not yet,” Freya refused. “What if Geoffrey finds them before they reach the hospital? He’s upset and knows where they’re going. I need to check myself.""I can send two guards to watch over them,” I offered. “They’ll tell me right away if something happens.""That won’t work," Freya said, shaking her head. "Guards can’t warn us fast enough if they start fighting again. And next time, Connor
