On Tide Road, everyone knows the rules:
boys grow up, things change, and you don't ask questions you aren't ready to survive the answers to.
Elliot Sparrow Rivers has spent her whole life in the middle of two boys she loves-Quil Ateara, all sharp smiles and reckless heat, and Embry Call, quiet-eyed and gentle, the one who knows her too well. They've been inseparable since first grade. The Tide Road Trio. A joke. A given. A constant.
Until it isn't.
Embry disappears first. Quil follows.
And Elliot is left behind-human, angry, and done waiting.
When she finally confronts them, demanding answers and refusing to be excluded from whatever dangerous, secret world they've joined, fate answers back. Harder than anyone is prepared for.
Imprinting was never supposed to look like this.
Now Elliot is bound to two boys who are terrified she'll choose between them-boys who are hiding truths even from each other. The pack watches, waiting for violence. The elders whisper. Mothers worry. And the tide keeps pulling, whether they're ready or not.
This isn't a love triangle.
It's a knot.
Hot, messy, emotionally feral, and a little doomed-Where the Tide Holds is a slow-burn Twilight AU about fate that refuses to be simple, love that won't stay quiet, and three hearts caught in the same current, daring not to break.
Some things aren't meant to be chosen.
They're meant to be held.
