Qune suddenly, I recall doing planting my mouth between her legs while she slept again on my knees in the heated bathroom of a burning shower, in a mall where she was trying on clothes, on this very desk. I remember my head between her legs, her fingers tangled in my hair and thighs trembling around my ears. I remember the taste of her, the sounds and

The door opens, and Abel walks in, holding an envelope that he brings forward to me.

“Next time, knock” Lsay before reaching my hand forward to collect it from him.

“Apologies. This is from the hospital. We stood there with the pack doctor until the tests came out.”

Silver comes in behind him. Then Laura, back in the room.

1 look at Demetra. I look at Demetra, and her heart rate is perfectly normal. Normal, like she has nothing to be afraid of

No spike, no irregular beat–

That makes me not bother to even open the envelope. The pup in her womb is mine.

If Demetra had been with Lake at any point… if there had been anything between them while I was gone, her pulse would have shifted the moment Abel walked in with those results. Bodies don’t lie the way faces can. Heartbeats don’t perform. And here is running at its normal rhythm like she already knows the answer.

Because she’s always known the answer.

Which means that photograph from whoever Cassie, passed to Laura is a fluke.

He opens the envelope himself and spreads it flat in front of me “Paterney confirmed father and pup, ninety–nine posta nime per ent” silver picks it up and turns to Laura whom he hands it over to There’s a huge smile on his face,

“Why don’t you take a look at it for your Alpha, huh? And then you can tell him congratulations. I’m the uncle, and I think it’s gonna be another gül

Laura doesn’t collect it

1 walk past her out of the office. I can hear Demetra walking behind me

gradually until we get to the elevator.

“Can you stop running?” I glare behind me because every heartbeat is thrumming in my own ears. My wolf is counting the pulse of the pup and hers simultaneously.

“I wasn’t running. You were walking too fast, Emris!”

The elevator opens. I enter. Demetra follows me into it and faces me.

“So, all of a sudden you trust that the pup in my belly is yours?” She crosses her arms. “Help me explain how you arrived at that. I genuinely don’t know what’s going on in your head right now and Emris…I would really like to. Look at me. Please look at me. Do you mind saying something, sir?”

“I’m done working. “I’ll answer when I get back.”

“W–working?” Demetra’s voice follows me as I step out. “You’re not working right now, I’m asking you a question-”

I walk around the house until I get to the exit and step out into the sunlight. The heat hits my skin. I jog off the stairs and head to the parking lot, scanning the rows until I spot the jeep. That’s the one. The one that will take me away from all this

noise.

One month in the woods. One month of silence, of nothing but trees and wind and the sound of my own breathing was considerably better than what I’ve dealt with in a single day back here.

Elders, talking. Deltas, talking. The entire family, talking.

Pup, talking. Luma, talking.

I get into the jeep, step my foot on the gas, and the Deltas in my way scatter. In the rear view I see Demetra standing at the top of the stairs watching me leave. I take my eyes off her and drive out.

I drive until I get to the densest woods in the territory. Coast Six.

I take my shirt off right out of the highway and throw it into the open window of the jeep before walking into the woods to lay off. I’m not sure what’s happening to me, but it’s making me hot. It’s not the darkening. I know what that feels like. This is

different.

It’s not hot like I need air conditioning to cool off. But a kind of hot in my wolf that doesn’t have a release valve. After the Den, I spent three weeks fighting wild animals in the woods near the shack. It was the one thing that moved the darkening feeling along.
