Within moments, her eyes fluttered shut, and she was asleep. Joe looked up at me with wide eyes. “Is Zoe going to be okay?” I kneeled down to his level, giving him a reassuring smile. “Yes, buddy. She’s getting better every day.” He nodded, seemingly satisfied with the answer, and then started fidgeting with a small toy car he had in his pocket. Darby and I took seats nearby. The hum of the machines and the soft beeping of Zoe’s monitor were the only sounds, creating a rhythmic lull that was almost soothing.

“No pressures—just us doing normal talking again?” Probably when hell froze over but there was no way I was going to say that out loud. Just then, Eleo stirred from the other room, letting out a soft whine. “Zara! I can’t sleep!” That was odd? Eleo would never cry out like that. “He must be half asleep. Sorry.” “Looks like someone needs his favorite story,” Jason said, grinning, and it felt like all that tension melted away. Great, I didn't have to answer. Saved by the bell.

It was the first time Leo spoke to her so seriously, and it hit her like a memory from her childhood—her father’s strict yet loving scolding when she’d dress lightly in winter. Her throat tightened, and with a quiet nod, she pulled his coat over her legs. “You mentioned Luke on the phone earlier—what’s the news?” she asked urgently. Leo’s expression turned grim. “A friend tipped me off. He’s not confirmed it yet, but the details match Luke. Apparently, after the factory fire, he had plastic surgery and changed his identity. Now, he goes by the name Zack and works as a driver for the eldest son of the Lopez family.” Ella’s fingers tightened around her coffee cup. Her knuckles went pale. “The

I tell him about the bedtime question — where's my daddy — and the careful answer I gave and how I sat in the hallway afterward for a long time. I tell him about the company. About the twelve employees and the London office and the framed trade article on Eleanor's drawing room wall next to the portrait of a man neither of us ever met. I tell him about Zion picking the logo designer because he liked her dogs. About Gran-El and Syl and the card game Zion cannot win because Eleanor has been cheating at cards for sixty-five years. I talk for a long time. Jaxon does not interrupt once. He sits forward, elbows on his knees, and he listens to five years of a life he missed with the focused grief o

He said with no of his head. “Who do you think I am? I am the best cook around here, and I am the super teacher, teaching youngsters around here, my magic code is being the best!” Jane said with an air of authority and pride.

Ol’ Joe was an extremely fast driver. They soon arrived at Z City Central Hospital. The car had only just pulled to a stop when Sally grabbed Magnolia and rushed in with her. Jill had prepared a room for Zane on the top floor. Although Jill might be an obnoxious person, one had to admit she was the member of the Larson family who loved and cared for Zane the most. However, the person who cared for Zane the most would become Magnolia after she married into the Larson family.

He woke up to the sound of a buzzer. BZZZZZT. Elion jumped. "What? Fire?" "Laundry," Cale said calmly. "The cycle is done." Elion sat up. He realized he had been asleep for thirty minutes. He had been drooling on Cale’s shoulder. "Oh god," Elion wiped his mouth. "I fell asleep. On you." "You did." "Why didn't you push me off?" "You needed the rest." "My arm is asleep," Elion complained, shaking his hand. "And I probably snored."

There are fifty cakes here, so Joe knows she is just trying to make him feel better. "You do not need to worry about me," Joe says. He does not want his best friend to feel bad about things they cannot change. "How can I not worry?" Rebbie asks. She gives him half of the cake back. Joe takes a bite but he feels sick inside.

Hazel had an arranged mate bond too when he was young, so he understands why Joe never went on dates. Joe’s fate was already decided by the pack.

“That look.” Ellion swallowed hard. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “Oh, come on,” Sorrian said lightly. “Don’t play dumb.” “I said I don’t know what you mean.” Sorrian crouched in front of him slowly. “Jonathan.” Ellion’s heart stopped. “Who?” he asked too quickly. “Who's that?" Sorrian burst out laughing. “You’re a terrible liar.” Ellion’s breathing became uneven. “A while ago,” Sorrian continued casually, “you met a guy at a club. Tall. Tattoos. Pretty smile.” He leaned closer. “Then you fucked him.”

Evelyn said softly, "You should get out of the car too. No matter what, we're not divorced yet. This is still your home. Come back and live here first. You can move out in two years." Joy flashed across Elio's eyes. This was great! No matter how spacious and luxurious the suite in Evamor Tower was, it was still not as comfortable as the three-foot-wide floor under Evelyn's bed. He always felt better when he was guarding his goddess and sleeping beside her. It just so happened that the Joneses had a guest in the house at the time. His name was Bennet Zaccone, and he looked to be in his late twenties. He was quite handsome, but his face was a little long. He wore a blue-striped suit and a red
