Chapter 72

JACE

I returned to the packhouse after ordering two warriors to stand guard at the cell. I walked upstairs and back into our room to find in empty. I love Fast to get the blood off me. Then I called Ria. Where are you, baby?” I ask.

Kitchen.

Damn, my human mate continues to surprise me. Most females would be traumatized after a rogue attack, but not Aria. She’s already up and about like nothing happened. That’s what makes her different. Even without our bond, she’d be remarkable.

“You busy?” I press, needing to talk to her about what I just learned.

No, I’ll be up in five minutes.”

“Good. Meet me in the office when you’re ready.”

I reach out to Gabriel, Lucas, and Hunter through mind link. They all respond immediately – one advantage werewolves have over humans.

Being Alpha means making tough calls. Warren is looking for Aria. The thought makes my wolf snarl inside me. Phantom doesn’t share well- especially not my mate. Not the mother of my future child.

I pace the office, brain working overtime. Security needs tightening. The rogue attack wasn’t random – they were searching. For her. My mate.

A knock interrupts my thoughts. Gabriel enters with Lucas and Hunter. Gabriel’s face is tense, already suspecting bad news.

“Come in. Aria will join us shortly,” I say, gesturing to the chairs.

Did the rogue talk?” Gabriel asks immediately. Protective father instincts. I respect that.

“Yes.”

Footsteps in the hallway signal Aria’s arrival. She walks straight to me, and I pull her onto my lap. Gabriel’s expression darkens with worry. He’s raised this human girl since childhood, protected her from Warren once already.

“What happened?” Aria asks, her body warm against mine.

“The rogue confessed. Their camp was hired to find you specifically.”

“What? Why?” Her body stiffens.

“Who hired them?” Gabriel demands, leaning forward.

“The rogue didn’t know exactly who. But they’re looking for you, Aria. They say you were taken from someone who wants you back.”

“Damn Warren, Lucas growls, hands clenching into fists.

Aria stays silent, but Gabriel looks ready to shift and tear through walls. His adopted human daughter means everything to him.

“Your plan, Alpha?” Hunter asks, always the practical one.

“I know you won’t like this, Aria, but until I ensure your safety, you need guards. As a human, you can’t heal or fight like we do. I’ll assign people you know Gabriel, Lucas, maybe Jaspar or Hunter.” I kiss her fingers, hoping to soften the blow.

“It’s okay. I understand, really.” Her voice is quiet, resigned.

Hate this. Hate making her feel confined. She’s been training her whole life to protect herself, human or not. Gabriel made sure of that. But with a baby coming, risks are different now.

Chapter 72

Thank you. I’ll call the elders to discuss stopping Warren. Maybe force him to step down so Dylan takes over

“Dylan’s a good kid, Gabriel agrees, nodding slowly.

We talk security for another hour before they leave. Aria stays on my lap, head resting against my shoulder. We don’t speak much. Just exist together, men too busy lately – pack business, rogue attacks, pregnancy news, Haven’t had enough moments like this.

ARIA

I got talked into dress shopping. After the meeting, Gabriel escorts me to meet Nina and Shirley. The older women aren’t happy about my adoptive father insisting on staying close – they wanted the dress to surprise everyone at the ceremony.

“He doesn’t need to hover so much, Nina whispers to me when Gabriel steps away briefly to take a call. “You’re in no danger with us.

1 shrug. “He’s worried. After what Jace told us about the rogues looking for me specifically…”

Can’t blame him for being protective. He’s been that way since rescuing me as a child. Being human in a werewolf world means everyone thinks you need extra protection. Sometimes they’re right.
