I checked his pulse, finding it uneven, but present.
Safe.
Somehow they were all safe.
But as silence rose, in its place was the faint ringing of an alarm.
What thehellhad I done?
My fingers brushed the small device lodged in my neck as I pressed my hand to the wall to steady myself.
I could have let Bella take him.
Years. Years of torture, and I would be free of him in a blink. Thistle could bring Ace back and make him disable the device—the endless threat on my life. I shut my eyes, shaking the thought away. I had claimed Knox years ago—thathad been my choice.
Finally, I took a step back and turned to the bathroom. I gathered up some clothes for her and Ace, then halted at the door, fist on the handle.
CouldI go in?
In the bond, I could feel her suspended in peace.
Ace belonged to her, an Alpha with feral instincts guiding him, and I was just… me. Would I ruin this peace if I interrupted?

THISTLE
I surfaced from oblivion surrounded by warm water, my god Alpha, and a gentle touch upon my scalp.
I blinked, a low, unsure moan lifting from my chest as my wet eyelashes opened slowly.
The room was steamy, thick as if a lightning storm pressed against my senses.
I frowned, shifting slightly to get my bearings.
Bunny’s arms were around me, and we were connected, his knot locking us together. He was my perfect Alpha. My protection.
I was… in a bathtub, I thought. I don’t remember when we’d got here from the shower, but it was so warm.
As I shifted, Bunny’s grip on me tightened, and I let out a relieved breath as my body sank further into his claim.
That was what I needed.
At least… almost…
There was still something wrong.
A faint tug, the brush of a touch on my head.
Finally, I glanced back, frowning as I found a pair of teal eyes meeting mine. Rogue was sitting on the edge of the deep bath, feet in the water as he scooped up a handful and gently tipped it over my head.
“Rogue?” My voice cracked as I surfaced more.
He was real…
My Alpha.
I could feel him in the bond. A new connection. He was strangely calm beside the chaos that made up Bunny and me.
