The Alpha My Sister Wanted
Aurora Vale was sent away from Black Moon Ridge before her wolf ever had the chance to wake.
Seven years later, she returns home three weeks before her eighteenth birthday, still unshifted, still unwanted, and still treated like the family disappointment.
Her older sister, Vivian, has everything Aurora never did: beauty, admiration, power, and a future beside Ezra Blackthorn, the Alpha heir. Ezra has belonged to Vivian since they were children. Everyone in the pack knows it. Everyone expects him to make Vivian his Luna.
But the moment Aurora comes home, something changes.
Ezra smells different.
Her sleeping wolf stirs for the first time in years.
And the future Alpha looks at her like he knows exactly what is happening, even if Aurora does not.
As Vivian’s Luna presentation draws closer, old secrets begin to surface. Why was Aurora really sent away? Why does Victor Vale treat her like a mistake? And why does Black Moon Ridge seem to wake the moment she returns?
Aurora was never meant to threaten her sister’s future.
But some bonds cannot be buried.

Chapter: Chapter Ninety-Six: Last NightThey caught the sixth wolf before dark.He had made it less than half a mile, down through the old drainage channel beneath the northern wall, before two trackers pulled him out of the mud. By the time they brought him into the lower council room his patrol coat was turned inside out, one side of his face was bleeding, and an oilskin packet had been strapped flat beneath his shirt.He looked at Darius once.Then at Vivian, and away again, fast.I had spent seven years in a house where I learned to read what people did with their eyes before they decided what to do with their mouths. That was not defiance. That was a man checking whether the person he was most afraid of had come into the room yet.Darius stood at the head of the table with Maren beside him. Harwick had come as council witness and taken the chair nearest the door, where he could see everyone and be seen doing it. Luca stayed standing. Ezra stood close enough beside me that our sleeves touched when either of us shifted,

Chapter: Chapter Ninety-Five: Six NamesThe little girl did not let go of my sleeve until her mother carried her out of the stores hall.I stood beneath the archway and watched them cross the yard with one of Maren’s guards beside them. Smoke still hung low over the loading stones. Water from the sluice ran black into the drainage trench, carrying oil, soot and whatever remained of the attempt to send a burning cart through the doors.They had known which households would be short before they stole the shipment.Now someone had tried to burn the place where we were looking at the numbers.That was no longer coincidence.Ezra came back through the narrow passage with one of the trackers behind him.“Nothing?”“He knew the house.”Vivian closed the reserve ledger. “We already knew that.”“No.” Ezra looked towards the stairwell. “I mean he knew which doors would be locked and which one would not be watched during the change between morning posts. He never slowed down.”Harwick glanced at me. “You saw the cloak.”“Yes.”“Face?”

Chapter: Chapter Ninety-Four: What the Shortage CostsThe eastern stores hall smelled of cold stone and flour dust.None of us had slept. Vivian had changed her coat since the infirmary, which made her look put together until you came close enough to see her eyes. Maren stood at the end of the ledger table, and Harwick had brought his own pen.The storekeeper opened the reserve book and turned it towards us."That is everything the hall holds. Not everything we can give."Vivian ran her finger down the column. "How much is already committed?""Two hundred weight to the infirmary through winter. Cassian's care draws against that. The rest is the reserve.""And if we replace the stolen shipment in full today?"The storekeeper rubbed flour from his thumb. "Then the reserve is gone by the first hard frost, and every household on the ridge stands where those three are standing now."I looked at the figures and understood almost none of it.At the first stores review I had demanded replacement before I knew what replacing it emptied, and Vivia

Chapter: Chapter Ninety-Three: The Wolves Who Took ItBy the time Elias could answer more than one question, dawn had begun to pale the infirmary windows.The healer had stitched the wound along his side, bound his ribs and set his wrist between two narrow splints. His skin was grey against the pillow.Luca sat on the edge of the next bed with his forearms on his knees. He had been told twice not to crowd the healer, and both times he had moved back exactly half a step.Vivian stood near the foot of the bed with her ledger open. Ezra remained beside the door. Harwick had taken the only chair and placed it where Elias would have to look at him to answer.The healer folded her arms."Five minutes. If his breathing changes, you leave."Harwick inclined his head. "Elias, tell us who brought you the amended order.""A patrol wolf." Elias's voice scraped against the words. "Black Moon cloak. Eastern route token.""Name?"Elias shook his head. "I knew his voice. Couldn't place it."Harwick looked at Vivian. "Yet you followed him.""He had the o

Chapter: Chapter Ninety-Two: The Old Watch PostThe trail held for almost a mile.Blood marked the first few trees, smears where a hand or shoulder had caught the bark. After that there was only disturbed fern and the occasional heel pressed into wet ground.The tracker led us between the pines. I stayed close enough to see what he pointed out and far enough back not to ruin it.Luca stayed near the front.He had not made a joke since the cart.The trail bent north-west, away from the eastern road. Vivian stopped beside a fallen cedar and looked through the trees."There used to be a watch post this way."Harwick turned towards her. "Used to be?""It was removed from the active patrol maps years ago. The building was never demolished. Victor said it cost more to clear the stone than to leave it.""How far?" Ezra asked."Less than half a mile."The tracker studied the ground. "This trail is heading towards it."We moved faster after that.The trees thickened until the lanterns caught more branches than path. Whenever the tracks thin

Chapter: Chapter Ninety-One: No BodyThe blood looked black in the lantern light.The cart had been pulled off the eastern road and left between two pines, one wheel sunk deep enough into the soft ground that it leaned towards the ditch. The horses were gone. So were the crates, the guard and anything else that might have explained it.Only the blood remained.It covered the rear boards in a dark, uneven pool and had dried along the gaps in the timber. The smell reached me before I was close enough to see all of it.Luca stopped beside me.For once, he had nothing to say.Two trackers moved around the cart, careful not to step across one another's paths. A healer waited near the road with her bag open, though there was nobody for her to treat.Harwick looked from Vivian to me."This is no longer a stores assessment," he said. "It is a pack emergency."Vivian did not look away from the boards. "We uncovered the order that sent him here.""Which is why you will both remain. You will observe, and you will ask before touchin

Twin Alphas' Rare Luna
She signed a contract to marry one Alpha.
Her wolf chose both twins.
Myla has spent her life surviving by being useful, obedient and easy to manage. When she agrees to become Alec’s contracted Luna, the terms seem simple: secure an alliance, leave Bloodstone Ridge behind and build a stable life inside Crimson River.
Then her wolf recognises Alec, the controlled Alpha she married.
And Sebastian, his warmer but no less dangerous twin.
A mate bond is supposed to choose one. Myla’s chooses both.
Alec is the husband bound to her by duty and vow. Seb is the man the contract has no place for, but the bond refuses to release. As the three of them grow closer, the secrets buried in Myla’s past begin to surface. The mark hidden beneath her hair belongs to a bloodline the wolf world believed extinct, and the Wolf Council fears what her impossible bond could become.
The Alpha who raised her knows the truth. He also knows how to turn entire packs against Crimson River until protecting Myla becomes too costly.
To save the first home she has ever chosen, Myla may have to leave the two men who finally chose her.
But fate is not asking her to choose between the twins.
It is asking whether she will finally choose herself.

Chapter: Chapter Ninety-Two: Within ReachAlecAlec woke before the room brightened.Myla lay between him and Seb, one hand curled against Alec’s chest. Seb’s arm remained around her waist, his bandaged forearm resting above Alec’s where they met across her.Neither of them had moved far during the night.Alec watched the slow rise of her ribs.He had counted her breaths at the warden’s hut. His body continued the task now, as if the danger might return if he stopped.Seb opened his eyes.“She warm?” he whispered.Alec touched the back of his fingers to her cheek. “Yes.”“Fever?”“No.”Myla’s eyes opened.She looked at Alec, then turned enough to find Seb.“You are both staring.”“You stopped moving,” Seb said.“I was asleep.”“We noticed.”Myla began to sit up.Both men moved at once.Seb supported her back while Alec steadied her injured shoulder. She paused halfway upright and looked down at their hands.“I can move by myself.”“Then move slowly,” Alec said.She sat with the blanket gathered around her. Her hair had dried

Chapter: Chapter Ninety-One: The Space Between ThemMylaThe door closed behind all three of them.Myla took two steps before her knees gave way.Seb caught her around the waist. Alec set the tea aside and reached them before she could touch the floor."I am fine," she said."You have used that word past the point of credibility," Alec replied.Seb kept his arm around her as they guided her towards the bed. "Sit before Elna comes upstairs and carries you there herself.""She could not carry me.""She would recruit help."Myla sat.The room was warm. Familiar. Safe.Her body understood the last fact before her mind did.The tension that had held her upright through the false summons, the ambush and the road home began to release. Her hands shook harder. Cold moved beneath her skin despite the fire burning near the wall.Alec crouched and removed one muddy boot.Seb took the other."You do not have to do that."Alec placed the boot beside the bed. "We know."Myla looked down before either man could see how much the answer affected her.T

Chapter: Chapter Ninety: The Direction of HomeMylaThey left the warden's hut at first light.The prisoners rode bound beneath guard, each tied to a separate spare horse. Dena carried the recovered documents inside her coat. Alec kept the brass courier token.Seb rode on Myla's left.Alec rode on her right.The road south showed the damage of the pursuit. Hoofprints cut through the snow, and broken branches marked where Seb's riders had entered the timber.A torn strip of Myla's declaration lay trapped beneath a stone.She saw it.She kept riding."You should have taken the wagon," she told Seb."And surrender my heroic return?""You are bleeding again."He looked at the bandage around his arm. "Barely."Alec glanced across Myla. "You said that yesterday.""It remains true."Seb leaned closer to Myla. "He wants us to stop talking.""I understood him.""I thought you might need an interpretation."Alec faced the road ahead. "I can still hear you.""That was not in doubt."The first Crimson River boundary post appeared between the

Chapter: Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Name She RemovedMylaThe strip of paper lay beside the brass token.Alec had taken it from his coat after Dena left to organise the first watch. Beyond the wall, one prisoner coughed and a guard told him to be quiet.Myla did not need to read the sentence.Sebastian of Crimson River holds no separate claim.She had written it in her own hand. Then she had torn it from the declaration and tied it to a branch so the two men sitting across from her could follow.Seb leaned against the table, his bandaged arm close to his side. Alec stood near the stove, giving her the distance he had finally learned to offer before she asked for it.“I wrote it,” Myla said.Seb looked at the strip. “I know.”“I believed it was the safest version.”“For whom?”The question was not sharp. That made it harder to answer.“For Crimson River. For Alec. For you.”Myla folded her hands on the table.“The Council recognises the marriage,” she said. “They understand contracts, succession and one Luna beside one Alpha. They do not

Chapter: Chapter Eighty-Eight: What the Road ProvedMylaThe old warden’s hut had one door, two narrow windows and a roof that complained under the weight of snow.Myla approved of it immediately.Dena checked the rear wall while Luis and the timber riders brought the prisoners into the attached tack room. The men were bound separately, one to an iron ring beside the feed bins, the other to the support post near the outer door. Two guards stayed with them. The remaining horses crowded beneath the lean-to, steaming in the cold.By the time the door shut behind them, dusk had flattened the road outside into grey and white. The hut was not home, but it could be defended, heated and reached again before morning if they needed to return to the ambush site.The bay mare lowered her head into the water Luis had carried from the pump.“Slowly,” Myla said.Luis glanced towards her. “I know.”“I was speaking to the horse.”“That makes more sense.”The mare drank. Myla ran one hand down her neck, felt the hard tremor beneath the skin and stayed u

Chapter: Chapter Eighty-Seven: What Came Behind HerAlecThe loose horse appeared first.It came down the Council road at an uneven trot, reins dragging, one stirrup striking its flank. Snow clung to its chest and darkened its shoulders with sweat.Alec raised one hand.Dena and the two riders behind him slowed without crowding the road.Then the man came out of the bend.He limped badly, one arm folded against his ribs, but he moved quickly when he saw the horse. He caught the trailing reins, hauled himself into the saddle and turned south.Towards them.The ambusher saw Alec’s group and pulled hard enough to bring the horse sideways.Alec did not reach for his knife.“Dena, right.”She moved before the man could choose the verge.The other two riders separated. One took the shallow ditch. The other held the road behind Alec. The ambusher tried to force the horse between them, but the animal had already been frightened once. It refused the narrow opening and reared.The man lost his seat.He struck the road on his injured side and sta
