“But...I also hope you will treat her better, Alpha.” Silence. “Don’t...don’t show kindness to Sara one moment, then show care for Lila the next. Lila...she deserves to be someone’s first and only choice. She deserves a love that is complete and unwavering.” Kade’s eyes narrowed. “What are you implying?

I’ve always wondered...who do you truly love? Sara? Or Lila?”

"Yes. I ran off the path and wasn't paying attention to how far I'd come." "Well, it's your lucky day, then," Eric said, pushing himself to his feet and unfolding his map. "I've got the forest mapped from Madison to here. It won't take but twenty minutes to get back." I stood too. "Thank you. I'm sorry for sidetracking you from your work." "No worries. Because of you, I have a lovely Coccinellidae specimen to study." A smile graced his lips. "A Coccinellidae is a-?"

A faint hum vibrated in the air, as if the tree itself was breathing—alive in ways I didn’t want to think about. By the goddess, these people were unfairly favored. Favouritism at its finest. Lysandra turned slightly, her golden eyes catching mine. She didn’t say anything, just tilted her head toward the arched entrance carved into the tree’s trunk. A silent invitation. I turned around and glanced at Erethorn. He was sniffing the air, his crimson eyes gleaming with curiosity as he took in the foreign scents and strange structures. His ears twitched, his muscles tense and his eyes sharpened. I knew that look. He was assessing, calculating, deciding how fast he could tear through this place if

Seeing that my expression looked normal, the two of them exchanged a glance and visibly relaxed. At that moment, I only found it ironic. Damien walked over, took my hand, and led me to the sofa.

They said that if you continue with nerve repair treatment, your right hand might recover a little more. “But even if it doesn’t recover, it’s okay.

Or don't tell me you're satisfied with loving her in secret, knowing she warms another man's bed.” Derek hung his head. “I just love her so much. Even before we knew we were mates. She didn't want to reject me even though she wasn't pleased with my low status, and I didn't have the heart to reject her.” Scott snorted. “You know how this sounds right? You two could be planning to get rid of Ronan and Ryder for all we know so that you'd be Alpha since you love each other.”

"He left them for me to find. He wanted me to see that I had reached the point where I could read the discrepancy." "Can you correct them?" Ernest had asked. Ruth had considered the question with the same seriousness she brought to every question about the estate. "They need to be moved before they are too established. February at the latest. The upright tree in the spreading zone will not develop correctly if it stays where it is—it will try to spread, which is not its form, and the strain will affect its health. The spreading tree at the edge will try to grow upright, which is also not its form. They need to be in the positions that match their character."

It collapses into dust. The bones inside — the ancient Alpha — fall free. They don’t hit the ground. They turn to light. Green and gold. It shoots straight up through the stone, through the earth, to the new Tree above. On our comms, Sky gasps. “Wren! The D.C. Tree just — it just grew fifty feet! It’s… crying. Sap like tears.” One down. Eleven to go. Eli moves to the next tree. Then Draven. Then me.
