Ashleigh smiled and moved to sit beside him. “Where are Bell and Galen?” she asked. “Her doctor wanted to run a few more tests on Bell, just to be sure that she and Ren are continuing to improve,” he said. “They should be back any minute.” “Check out that timing,” Bell laughed as Galen wheeled her back into the room. “It’s like we planned that or something.” Ashleigh stood and ensured the path to the bed was clear as Galen moved the wheelchair beside the bed and helped Bell back…

The return to Summer had been put on hold after Roman’s unexpected visit to Winter. Caleb called Fiona, updated her, and told her that he and Ashleigh needed to stay for at least a few more days. He wanted to get the defense system up and running and ensure that Galen and Bell were safe and secure. But he also knew that Ashleigh was struggling with Axel’s announcement and hoped that she would take the time to work things out with her brother. “Mom says that everything is running on schedule,”…

Bell and Galen were both admitted for the night. Galen had a concussion and several minor injuries. Bell had yet to wake up after being brought in by Saul. But the doctors all felt that it was simply a response to the renewed trauma and her body’s natural way of protecting her mind and the baby from the stress. They felt there was no reason to be concerned but kept her closely monitored. Wyatt had Galen’s bed moved into the same room as Bell, so he wouldn’t worry about her too much. Caleb had…

Lian lifted her eyes to Ashleigh. She furrowed her brows with a look of confused anger as she pursed her lips and took an agitated breath. It was clear to Ashleigh that the Priestess was not happy. Clenching her jaw, she turned away from Ashleigh, moving her focus to the two men lying on the ground. Roman and Axel both sat up, looking at Lian with equal amounts of surprise and confusion. But it was Roman that recovered his senses enough to realize he didn’t care who she was. Only that she was in his…

Ashleigh watched as her brother hit Roman and threw him against another tree. She was shocked. Axel was a warrior but never a very strong one. He was constantly distracted and self-conscious. The only time he had truly been able to hold his own was in the protection of someone else. Even then, he had never had strong combat skills. But now, he was focused. He had control and movement. He was like a different man entirely. Had she missed so much in her time with Summer? “Ash…” Caleb called to…

When Wyatt had come to Axel’s office, he was concerned about what exactly the strange man named Roman was after. He had a bad feeling, and the questions he asked seemed to lead directly to Bell’s removal from Autumn. When he confirmed the man’s name as Roman, Axel had immediately tried reaching out to both Bell and Galen, but neither was answering their phone. Wyatt left to check their home, while Axel decided to see if Roman was still in the same building that Wyatt had left him. Or at the very…

Caleb swallowed. Who the hell was this guy? Caleb looked back at Bell and Ashleigh. “What does he mean, Bell?” Ashleigh asked. “He’s Tomas’ son,” she whispered through tears, holding desperately to Galen’s hand. Caleb closed his eyes and lowered his head ever so slightly. He took a deep breath. Roman grinned. “Even so,” Caleb said, “you can’t just go around putting your hands on a Summer wolf.” “We’re not in Summer,” Roman growled. “Your authority ends at the fancy new…

Roman easily avoided Galen's charge by rolling away from where he stood. But then, it had never been Galen's goal to take him down at that moment. Galen had managed to get Roman away from Bell without even trying. He turned and placed himself directly between his wife and the monster that hunted her. The small pin at his chest was activated, and he was covered in armor, his shield sprung forth, and he placed it firmly before him. Roman ground his teeth in irritation as he realized what Galen had…
-
Bell was entirely and utterly frozen in place. Even her eyes dared not close, fearing that when she opened them again, he would be even closer. Her breaths were short and quick, and her heart pounded loudly, filtering out any sound beyond the racing thump. “Bell…” he hissed. Her jaw shook, and she felt a cold numbness spilling over her. Her chest tightened, and her eyes burned. For almost seven years, she had only heard this voice in her nightmares, but she was awake now. Awake and staring at…
-
Bell turned in Galen’s arms, nestling her face against his chest. They had both taken a short nap after he had spent the morning making sure she knew all the details, every last one. She smiled as she thought of how he had carried her up the stairs and how forceful yet gentle he had been with her. Even though he acted like a possessive caveman, he gave in to her every whim and desire. Bell didn’t know at what point Caleb and Ashleigh had left, but she was sure it was somewhere between rounds two and…
