ETHAN

Freya stepped back the second I answered the call. She moved fast, like she'd been burned. But her scent still filled my nostrils. She smelled warm, sweet, and undeniably her. And underneath the panic she was trying to keep off her face, there was something else. Something that had absolutely nothing to do with Brian Norwood and everything to do with the last three minutes.

She wanted to stay. Her body was saying it clearly even as she was reaching for her car keys.

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Chapter 69

    ETHANThe bullet caught me across the upper arm, the pain so intense that it spun me half around before I even understood what happened. I quickly ducked behind an overturned chair, blood already soaking through my sleeve, ears ringing from the gunfire still coming through the hall that the hearing had taken place.Then I saw Freya running straight toward me, completely unprotected, and the pain in my arm became nothing at all compared to the fear slamming through the bond.“Get down!” I shouted, dragging her behind the chair with my good arm the second she reached me.“You’ve been hit,” she said, hands already pressed against the wound, eyes wide and terrified.“It’s just a graze. Freya, look at me, it’s just a graze.”She didn’t move at first, just kept pressing her palm against the wound like she could stop the bleeding through sheer stubbornness alone. Around us, people were still scrambling for cover, and voices were shouting orders, but for a second it felt like the only two pe

    FREYAThe hearing room felt like a courtroom built by people who wanted a show, not the truth. There were rows of chairs, both packs sitting on opposite sides like it was some kind of game, and at the front, a long table where Ethan and Brian would each get their turn to talk.I sat in the front row with one twin against my chest, his weight the only thing keeping me steady. My stomach was in knots, and not just because of my kids this time. I kept replaying the photos from this morning over and over, even though I’d already told Ethan I believed him. Believing and feeling that his words were true weren’t the same thing, and right now I had neither.Annie sat beside me, one hand resting on my knee, ready to grab me the second I looked like I might break down.“You don’t have to be strong every single second,” she whispered. “Just get through the next hour.”“One hour at a time. That’s all my life has been lately.”Ethan went first.He stood tall, hands steady on the table, and told th

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Chapter 67

    ETHANFreya didn’t sleep much that night, and neither did I. I watched her toss for an hour before she finally gave up and just lay there staring at the ceiling, one hand resting on her belly like she could somehow guard the last twin through sheer will alone.“We still have the ceremony tomorrow,” she said quietly, not looking at me.“Do you want to push it back?”“No.” She finally turned her head. “I want one good thing to happen this week, Ethan. Just one.”So the next afternoon, despite everything, the pack gathered for the naming ceremony for the twins. Gemma had insisted we still hold it, saying the Moon Goddess didn’t wait for convenient timing, and nobody argued with her.It should have been simple. Lanterns, a circle of pack members, the twins wrapped in soft blankets while the elders sang the old chants over them. But the air was thick with tension nobody bothered hiding anymore. Half the families who came stood at the edges instead of the center, watching me like they were

    FREYAThe world went silent and loud at the same time.“He’s gone,” someone said, and I didn’t even know who. I just heard the words and felt my whole body go cold.I was already moving before I finished thinking. Ethan grabbed my arm for half a second, just long enough to look me dead in the eyes.“We’ll go find him together right now.”I didn’t answer with words. I just shifted, right there in the hallway, clothes falling away as fur spread over my skin. It hurt less this time. Maybe because fear had already burned through every other feeling I had.Ethan shifted beside me, and then we were running, two wolves crashing through the safe house doors and into the trees behind it, noses down, hearts slamming. I could feel him through the bond the whole way. The forest was dark, but my baby’s scent was the only thing that mattered right now. It was faint but there, pulling me forward like a rope tied straight to my ribs. Ethan stayed close to my left, his shoulder brushing mine every fe

    ETHANI would never forget the sight of Freya mid shift, fur catching the emergency lights, claws out, every inch of her built around one single purpose: protecting our pups. It was breathtaking. It was also the most terrifying thing I’d ever watched, because I knew exactly what it cost her body to force herself to shift that fast after everything she’d already survived.She fought like hell. I fought beside her, and together we got the twins and our oldest clear of the smoke and into the hands of guards I trusted with my life. By the time the chaos settled and the building was declared clear of any actual device, Freya had shifted back, and then she broke down completely in my arms.“I almost lost him,” she kept saying over and over, shaking against me. “I almost lost him.”“You didn’t. You didn’t lose any of them. You were incredible.”I meant every word of it. I’d fought in real battles against real armies, and I had never once seen anything as fierce as Freya standing over our pu

    FREYAI woke up in a hospital bed with Ethan’s hand wrapped around mine and the sound of a baby crying somewhere close by. The voice sounded weak. Too weak.I sat up so fast my head spun. “Which one?”“Our boy,” Ethan said quietly. “He’s holding on. But the doctors say he needs more care than we can give him here.”They let me hold him for a few minutes before the doctors took him back for more tests. He was so small, smaller than his brothers, his little chest working too hard for every breath. I held him against my chest, heart shattering with every weak cry, and I would have promised him anything in that moment to make it stop.“We need to move quickly,” the head doctor said. “There’s a neutral clinic two hours from here. They’ve got equipment and specialists that can actually treat this.”“I’ll arrange transport,” Ethan said immediately. “I can have a secure convoy ready in an hour.”My phone buzzed before he’d even finished the sentence. It was Brian.I almost didn’t answer. I an

    ETHANThree days wasn't long but we used every hour of them.I started training Freya the morning after she issued the challenge, out in the open field behind the Northern Pack house where the trees were close and the ground was soft enough for a fall. She showed up at six in the morning in workou

    FREYAMy heart was beating so fast that I could hear it.I was standing in the middle of the Norwood Pack’s hall, which I had not been inside in over two years, and every single person in the room was looking at me like I'd just walked in on fire. The ceiling was high, the lights were bright, and t

    ETHANShe went quiet.Immediately I could tell this was the kind of silence where she was thinking something through and would tell me in a minute. This was the other kind where she was closing something off inside herself and she thought I couldn't see it.I could see it. I'd been watching her lon

    FREYAThe comments online were bad. Really, really bad.I made the mistake of scrolling through them at seven in the morning while still in bed, wrapped in Ethan's sheets that still smelled like him, and I had to put my phone face down after about three minutes because my hands started shaking.Wea
