Franklin POV

I let out a short laugh at the idea. “Then why wasn't Lisa attacked months ago? Evangeline's sickness started years back. The 'no trace, no source' pattern doesn’t happen on its own in two different women.”

“You’re still convinced it’s her,” she said.

“I’m saying it’s an attack,” I said. “And I need to know what I’m missing. That woman who came to see her last month, the one with the wooden calabash. Where is it? I haven't seen it in any of these rooms.”

    "Go to him!" my wolf cried the moment I spotted Wesley standing alone in the garden.I took a step back from the window, then looked again.He was still here, which meant Barbara's red SUV was still in the driveway. Her spending the night under the same roof as me should have been reason enough to lock my door and stay exactly where I was until morning. My eyes drifted back to the garden.Wesley stood beneath one of the hedges, his hands tucked into his pockets. Was he struggling to sleep too? Had the growing heat disturbed him enough to pull him from his room?The absence of any audience was telling.Maybe he didn't want to acknowledge the bond publicly. The first time it hit, Barbara had been there. The second time our eyes met, Luna Lisa had been standing beside him. Perhaps he hadn't wanted to name something so sacred in front of other people.Or perhaps I was making excuses for a man whose intentions I didn't know.I closed my eyes. He hadn't ignored me or looked irritated by my

    Isabella POVMy phone vibrated in my pocket for what felt like the fifth time in as many minutes.I didn't have to look at the screen to know Barbara must have told my father and Gwen she'd seen me.They were probably trying to decide how to get me back before I became a problem. Barbara never did anything without thinking three steps ahead, and if she had already called them, then the conversation had already shifted from Where is Isabella? to How do we keep Isabella from ruining this?The voices drifting through the open service door drew me closer.The kitchen staff were cleaning up. A middle-aged couple stood near the serving counter, putting away the last of the dishes, while two younger workers wiped down the stainless-steel tables. They sounded lighter than they had during dinner, relieved the evening had gone well and that no one had found fault with the food."They'll make beautiful pups," one of the younger women sighed. "Honestly, have you seen them together? Dr. Barbara is

    Wesley POV Mom and I were talking when a football rolled into the room. A little boy came charging after it, scooped it up, then paused when he noticed us. He couldn't have been more than three years old."Who's this little menace?" I said with a snort.Mom had no idea.A young woman hurried in after him."Maverick, get back here!"She stopped short the moment she saw us, and seemed mortified.“Isabella," she said with a smile. "I'm glad you and your son are settling in.""I'm sorry, my lady. I thought he was asleep. I was helping in the kitchen.""Nonsense," Mom said , resting the back of her hand against the little boy's forehead. "Let him run around. As long as he doesn't knock over my figurines, we're perfectly fine.""How are you, handsome? What's your name?""Maverick," he replied."Oh? That's a strong name," Mom said, smiling up at Isabella.I wasn't looking until now and recognized the boy's mother as the same girl who'd walked straight into me.She seemed about my sister's a

These days, I liked to pretend it didn't matter. The truth was, it did.My parents had been married for twenty-four years.

They were still hopelessly in love.Dad leaned toward Mom and whispered something that made her laugh.They weren't the only ones.Grandma and Grandpa Kieran were just as bad.

    My body was overwhelmed by pain and confusion, even as I held myself together.My wolf shrank into herself with a whine. Our mate was looking right through us. He didn't even react, as though he hadn't seen or felt anything.The mate bond was supposed to be the one thing nobody questioned. The Moon chose. Both wolves knew. It was simple. Then why was mine standing in front of me as though I were invisible?I remained frozen as my sister's arm settled on my mate's shoulder.

    Twenty-five Years LaterIsabella POV"My son is burning up. Please help him!"I rushed into the pack medical center, clutching my four-year-old tighter against my chest. He cried in my arms, his skin so hot it burned against mine.The hospital receptionist looked me over from head to toe before her gaze settled on Maverick's flushed face."And why haven't you brought him in sooner?" she asked.The words caught in my throat.Maverick had been sick for three days. I had spent every one of them begging my father and stepmother Gwen to let me use the family ID card. They refused. They knew the hospital wouldn't treat us without it, and stepmother Gwen would rather watch my son die than let anyone in this pack discover I was the product of her husband's affair.The receptionist waited. She expected me to reach into my pocket and hand over the card."I... don't have one."Her forehead creased. "What do you mean? Whose family do you belong to?"My heart sank. If I said my father's name, they
