Beast Code: Fractured vessel The Child Who waited
The letter arrived on a Wednesday.I was in the kitchen when Maya brought it to me, her expression strange—curious and cautious all at once. She held it out without a word, and I took it, turning it over in my hands.It was from an adoption agency.My heart stopped."I didn't know you were looking into this," Maya said softly."I wasn't. Not yet." I stared at the envelope. "We talked about it. Kaelan and I. But we hadn't—we hadn't made any decisions.""Maybe this is the universe making one for you."I didn't open it. Not then. I set it on the counter and went about my morning, trying to pretend it wasn't there. But it followed me—through breakfast, through the garden, through the endless tasks that filled my days. It sat in my mind like a stone, heavy and immovable.That night, I showed it to Kaelan.He was in our room, reading, when I walked in. I held up the envelope."What's that?" he asked."I don't know. I haven't opened it."He set down his book. "Why not?""Because I'm scared."

Beast Code: Fractured vessel The Vow
The proposal happened on a Tuesday.Not a special Tuesday. Not an anniversary or a holiday or a date we had marked on the calendar. Just an ordinary Tuesday, the kind that starts with coffee and ends with dishes, the kind that slips by without anyone noticing.We were in the garden. Kaelan had asked me to help him with the roses—Sam's roses, the ones that had bloomed despite everything, the ones that had become a symbol of something none of us could quite name. I was kneeling in the dirt, my hands buried in the soil, when I realized he wasn't beside me anymore.I looked up.He was standing a few feet away, his hands behind his back, his face strange. Nervous. Hopeful. Something I hadn't seen on him before."What?" I asked.He didn't answer. He just knelt down in front of me—not the way you kneel to garden, but the way you kneel when you're about to say something that matters.My heart stopped."I've been thinking," he said."That's dangerous."He smiled. But it was a nervous smile, a

Beast Code: Fractured vessel The Girl Who Couldn't Cry
She arrived on a Sunday.I was in the garden when I saw her—a thin figure standing at the gate, hesitating. She was young, maybe fifteen or sixteen, with dark hair pulled back in a messy ponytail and a backpack slung over one shoulder. She looked like she hadn't slept in days. Like she hadn't eaten in longer.I set down my trowel and walked toward her."Can I help you?" I asked.She looked at me with eyes that were dry and hollow. "I heard you take people in.""We do.""I need a place to stay."I nodded. "Come inside. We'll figure it out."She followed me without a word. She didn't look around. She didn't ask questions. She just walked, her footsteps heavy, her gaze fixed on the ground.Her name was Jade. She was fifteen years old. And she hadn't cried in three years.---Maya was the one who figured it out.She had a gift for seeing things—the things people hid, the things they didn't say. She spent an hour with Jade that first day, just the two of them in the common room, and when s

Beast Code: Fractured vessel The Aftermath
The call came at dawn.I was already awake, lying in the quiet gray light, watching the ceiling. I had been sleeping poorly since the journey—waking at odd hours, my mind refusing to settle. So when the phone rang, I was already halfway to consciousness, already reaching for it before the sound had fully registered.It was my mother."He's gone," she said. Her voice was flat, emptied of emotion. "He passed in the night."I didn't respond. I couldn't. The words hung in the air, heavy and strange, and I found myself waiting for something—some wave of grief, some rush of relief, some feeling that would tell me how to react. But nothing came. Just a hollow quiet, like a room that had been emptied of furniture."I'm sorry," I finally said. And I meant it. Not for the loss—I didn't know if I felt a loss—but for her. For the woman on the other end of the line who had just lost her husband, however complicated that loss might be."Thank you," she said. "I wanted you to know.""I'm glad you ca
