A month had passed since we returned from our honeymoon yet a lingering unease had started to claw its way into our lives. The connection between Lin and me remained strong, but I couldn't ignore the subtle shift in his demeanor. He was still tender and loving, but an unspoken weight seemed to burden his shoulders.His laughter no longer rang out as easily as before, and the light that once danced in his eyes had dimmed, replaced by a distant contemplation. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, that something lurked beneath the surface of his composed exterior. But every time I ventured to ask him about it, his face would close off, a curtain of secrecy descending between us.One evening, as the sun began to dip below the horizon, casting a warm glow over our pack grounds, I found Lin standing by the edge of the forest. The way his gaze was fixed on the trees, his fingers idly tracing patterns in the dirt, told me that his thoughts were far away. Gathering my courage, I

As the weeks passed, the unspoken shadows persisted, casting a somber hue over our days. Lin's anxiety remained palpable, his smile often fleeting. I spent my days by his side, finding comfort in our moments together, even if the depth of his pain remained hidden from me. Each time his fingers brushed mine, I could sense the weight he carried, something he was trying to sort through.One night, I woke to find our bed empty, the moonlight casting a soft glow over the room. A knot of worry tightened in my chest as I realized Lin was nowhere to be found. Clutching the fabric of my nightgown, I ventured out of our chambers, my steps quiet as I navigated the familiar corridors.My heart guided me to his study, a place that I had realized was pretty much a sanctuary for him.

Minutes after that I watched with a mixture of pride and wistfulness as Ethan and Emily bounded off, their energy and excitement radiating outward for all to see."Be good, you two!" I called after them, waving with a smile.Ethan turned back and gave me a thumbs-up. "Don't worry, Mom! We'll make you proud!"I chuckled, my heart swelling with affection for my spirited children. "I have no doubt you will."As they disappeared around the corner, Lin approached, his gaze lingering on their retreating figures."They're growing up so fast," he mused, a hint of nostalgia in his voice.I nodded, wrapping an arm around his waist. "I know. It feels like just yesterday they were taking their first steps."Lin's fingers found mine, his grip gentle and reassuring. "They'll be just fine with Leon."I leaned into his side, finding comfort in his presence. "I know. It's just hard not to worry."He pressed a kiss to my temple, his warmth seeping into me. "You're a wonderful mother, Meghan. The kids a

Leon ran a shaky hand through his hair, his expression a mix of bewilderment and amusement. “I didn’t think he’d take my teasing that seriously.”Concern gnawed at my insides as I processed Lin’s reaction. There was something more going on beneath the surface, something deeper that had driven him to act in a way that was so unlike him.“It is rather obvious he’s dealing with something we don’t know about,” I said, my thoughts echoing Rachel’s earlier words.Rachel nodded in agreement, her thoughtful gaze fixed on the doorway Lin had exited through. “Whatever it is, it’s clearly affecting the Alpha.”As we stood amidst the aftermath of Lin’s abrupt departure, the half-baked cookies forgotten on the counter, a sense of uncertainty settled within me. Our bond, once unbreakable, was now strained, and I couldn’t help but worry about the implications for our friends.“Is there really nothing troublesome you guys are dealing with right now?” I questioned Leon.“Eh, no, everything has been go

The echoes of my fury still reverberated in the dimly lit dungeon as Donna struggled to catch her breath. Her eyes held a mixture of fear and defiance, a reminder of the thin line I had almost crossed. My fingers trembled, the memory of the rage-induced grip around her neck haunting me like a specter. “Go on then, finish it,” she taunted, her voice laced with a challenging edge. “Or are you just as weak as you were back then?” My fists clenched at my sides, the echoes of her words like a bitter echo of the past. But even in my anger, I couldn’t let myself become what she wanted—a monster consumed by his own darkness. With a forceful exhale, I released my grip on her, allowing her to stumble backward as she sucked in desperate breaths. She straightened, her posture defiant as she glared at me. “What’s your price, Donna?” I asked, my voice a mixture of accusation and resignation. She smirked, the expression cutting through the tension that hung between us. “Freedom. Release me from
