Alpha, I Won’t Let You Banish Me Again Chapter 184 - Leo/Aiden
LeoThe vampires came at dawn on the third day, the way they had said they would, and the first thing I learned about war is that it does not feel the way the history says it feels.It does not feel empowering. It does not feel like destiny. It feels like cold air on a sweat-damp neck, and the small irritating fact of a buckle that has not seated properly on the left shoulder of your harness, and the embarrassing realization, halfway down the slope, that you have to pee and there is going to be no good time for the next four hours.I had been at the eastern ridge since the second watch. Mateo had the western flank. Sean and Kaleo had the center with three hundred between them. Aiden was somewhere I could not see, holding the southern line where the tree cover broke, where I had put him because I trusted him with broken cover, the way I trusted no one else.Kelly was not on the field.Kelly was, at this hour, with my daughter, Hunter, and Aerin, and Ella and the Fae King; they were doi
Alpha, I Won’t Let You Banish Me Again Chapter 183 - Kelly/Leo
KellyI told my daughter the truth in the herb garden, between the lavender and the sage, on the kind of cold, bright morning that makes the whole world feel like it has been washed and put out to dry.I had thought about doing it inside. I had thought about doing it at the kitchen table while making sandwiches, like we used to.In the end, I chose the garden because I realized I want to preserve all the good times we have had in the kitchen as a lasting memory. That’s why I chose the garden. I looked at my daughter as she plucked a lavender leaf and smelled it. My daughter was growing, and her curiosity couldn’t be stopped. She looked up at me and smiled. Her bright smile was even brighter than the sun. She turned her focus back at the herbs right in front of her as I stood. I gave her more time to explore, to enjoy, before I dropped something a child her age shouldn’t be experiencing. I slowly walked down the path when I felt my daughter’s small hand in mine and the other carryi
Alpha, I Won’t Let You Banish Me Again Chapter 182 - Leo/Kelly
LeoThe long table in the conference hall was set for forty and laid for war.Maximus had insisted on the formality of it. “You break bread before you break a line,” he’d said, in that voice that made even Sean stop chewing. “The wolves who eat together fight better. Because they know who they are fighting for.” So we’d done it his way. Black linen. Iron candlesticks. Mateo’s pack had brought wine in stoppered jars older than my grandfather. Sean and Kale brought meat for us to feast on.Kelly sat at my right. Aiden at my left. Ella was across from him; she looked better now, but the marks filled her arms like a tattoo. She didn’t hide it this time, and for who knew what it meant, it showed her respect for everything she went through. We all arrived at the same time, a few hours before the feast.Aerin sat beside Clint and pretended very hard that she was one of us. They had prepared the feast just as we had all agreed.I watched as everyone enjoyed the gathering. It’s been a while si
Alpha, I Won’t Let You Banish Me Again Chapter 181 - Aiden / Ella
AidenElla had stopped looking at me like I might disappear if she blinked.I noticed it around midmorning on the third day, when I came back from a brief meeting with Leo and found her sitting up in bed with one of the books from the packhouse shelf open across her knees. She looked up when I walked in and said, "There's tea on the table if you want it," the way a person says something like that when they've been sharing space long enough to start knowing each other's habits. Casually. Without the measured caution she'd had when we first got here.It was a small thing. I stood in the doorway for a second longer than I needed to, and then I went and got the tea.The truth was, I had been handling her as if she might break, and she had noticed, and she had decided at some point to stop tolerating it. I wasn't certain exactly when the shift had happened. Somewhere between the moment she'd said I know in response to my confession about the mate bond, and now. She had decided, in that qui

I woke in the middle of the night to find Leo sleeping soundly beside me. Careful not to disturb him, I slipped out of bed and quietly left the room. The room was dark and silent as I made my way to the couch in the mini living room. Once seated, I reached up and removed the necklace, letting it rest in the palm of my hand.I'd been thinking about what Ella said ever since. ‘Don't think. Just hold it.’ I had been wearing it around my neck for weeks, and nothing had happened, which made me wonder if the instruction was more specific than it sounded. I stared at the pendant in my hand and touched its cold surface, waiting for something to happen even though I did not exactly know what I was waiting to see. Maybe holding it wasn't enough. Maybe she meant something else by it. Maybe she meant: hold it the way you hold something you're afraid of losing. Hold it the way you hold the last thing a person you love left for you.I sat in the chair by the window with the pendant in my palm an

The door to our room was slightly open when I arrived, which meant that Kelly was still awake. She never left a door fully open when she was sleeping. I pushed the door open slowly.She was sitting at the edge of the bed with the three journals stacked beside her and the small pendant from her mother's necklace resting in her open palm. She wasn't reading. She wasn't doing anything except looking at the pendant like it owed her something.She looked up when she heard me.Neither of us said anything for a moment. It’s funny how we tend to stay silent when we both have a lot of things to say. The room glowed with a soft amber light, cast by the fae lamps that gave everything the hazy warmth of an old memory. Outside, the palace lay silent. Silence has never been this deafening.I crossed the room and sat beside her on the edge of the bed. Not close enough to crowd her. But close enough to make her feel my presence."You found something," I said. Stating the obvious."Yes." Her reply

I needed to meet with the rest of the Alphas in the alliance. Given the current pace of events, I believe we must also increase our efforts to win this war. I know that thinking that whatever is happening right now would lead to war is not a good thing, but given all the information we have gather

After the call, I began issuing orders to strengthen our borders and prepare them for my departure. “I need you to stay here,” I told Aiden. “Dave could handle it while we’re away, and Clint is here,” Aiden replied, adamant that he go with me when I leave. This is the first time that he has gone

It’s one bomb after the other. Why can’t we have a break?I watched my better half as she paced back and forth in front of me. My better half, who has never had a break ever since she came back to Mystic Moon. What she said to me earlier had been repeated in my head. “My mother found her Fated Ma
Alpha, I Won’t Let You Banish Me Again Chapter 104 - Kelly
I re-read the same page multiple times, trying to see if what I had read was a mistake. But the duplicate entry in my mother’s journal just repeated itself to the point that I felt like I was there with her when it happened. Alpha Leon assigned a secret mission for me. A mission that no one else sh
