The cool evening breeze swept over Riele as she stepped outside Charlotte’s home, her mind still lingering on their conversation. She took a deep breath, letting the crisp air fill her lungs, and climbed into her car. The road ahead was filled with uncertainty, but she had a renewed sense of purpose. There was a fire within her, a fierce determination to see this competition through and come out victorious. The drive back home was quiet, giving her space to reflect. She thought about her mother’s fragile progress, Harry’s silent strength, and Charlotte’s unwavering support. These were her reasons—her anchor points in a world that felt chaotic and ever-changing.

Someone had left a book behind, with a brown bookmark stuck in between the pages. She picked up and glanced at the title. Barbarian, by an author named Bella. The cover of the book featured a winged creature with a beautiful woman. "That's a Wilding." Jordan said behind her. She looked at him in confusion. "What's that?" "A crossbreed offspring of a demon and a vampire." He explained. "Are they real?" "I have no idea. I've only heard of them in myths and legends." Scarlett looked down at the book again. For some strange reason, the winged man reminded her of Dylan. The same bone structure, facial features, perfect jawline and compelling eyes...

The bear crossed the clearing and went straight for the nearest group of Alphas. Most of the Alphas cleared out of its path. Landon stepped forward instead, dropped into a fighting stance with his arms out. ‘What is that idiot doing? He’s going to get himself killed!’ my wolf growled. "Landon, fall back!" I ordered, but Landon did not listen to me. He held his ground and waited for the bear to reach him. Landon avoided the first few swipes but then, the bear caught him on the left side and drove him hard into the ground. “Damn it! Hold on Landon!”

Instead, he padded towards me with his typical slow and deliberate movements. As it drew closer, I saw that the bear was holding something in its maw. It dropped the object at my feet and I saw that it was a small, leather-bound book. The bear looked upwards at me, its eyes seeming to bore into my soul. And then, in a motion so almost human, it nodded its head. I stared at it in amazement, really not sure what my next move was. But then I looked down at the book, and with an eruption of clarity inside of me, this feeling suddenly made much sense.

Definitely not looking forward to uprooting my world, but as long as I have Rye, my life will be worth living. Listening to her rhythmic breathing, my bear rolls to his side. He is very content, laying here and listening to her breath. My human side is satisfied as well. It is weird they are separate, but the same. I know once they fully merge, we will share thoughts and feelings. I already know my bear is in love, and the human is. We choose to be lulled by her sounds and scents to a much-needed sleep.

I noticed all the different categories and different sections the books were placed in. With ease, Agatha found each book and I held out my arms as she gathered the books into them. Some of the titles were written in languages I couldn’t read, and some were just… absurd. ‘Werebear physiology’, ‘Werebear magic rituals’, ‘Werebear sexua’-nope not reading it. Just shuffle forward behind the nice kind lady. She stacked a few books labeled ‘Werebear history’ and ‘Werebear proper stamina management’, into my arms, before leading me somewhere else.

“Shift! Now!” Hugo bellowed in protest, but slowly shifted back to a naked man. Both girls averted their eyes while that happened. Larin threw Hugo’s bag to him. “Get dressed. Remember, they aren’t used to your hairy backside on display for everyone to see.” Larin didn’t stop there. He kept going. “What are you doing? Why did you go through as a bear? The larger you are, the more dangerous the crossing is.” “I encountered a waystation of sorts. The ones made by the ancient Fae. But I wasn’t alone there.”

After that, he had gone to a staff meeting and asked her, Susan, to solve the library books problem. Susan had some additional ideas for the library that she, as Rowena's daughter, had 'invented'. Well, it was not really her invention per se, but it was her invention that adapted the method to do it with magic and a lot of runes. A library index. A complicated spell that worked together with a lot of runes that indexed all of the content of a library for quick search of a subject. She had already implemented it in the family's personal library and in the Nexus' public library.

Pain tightened in her chest from her deep breaths, and weariness surged through her legs from running so fast. She scanned the area. Only a few men were loading merchandise on to a wagon. Unfortunately, Barry wasn’t one of them, but the other man she’d seen with him was. Her heart clenched. What should she do now? The men strapped the canvas over the wagon then climbed up front. Without another thought, she ran to the end of the wagon and hopped on the back. One way or another, she’d be taken to Barry, even if she had to travel all the way to his ship.
