(Rene)

The crown is lighter than it looks.

Cole puts it in my hands, steps back, and three hundred wolves go quiet at the same time.

Brynn kneels on the step below me in white with her chin up and her hands folded.

Her thumb is moving nervously against her knuckle, over and over.

She's twenty-one.

We don’t love each other.

Her mother concocted this.

Let her be nervous.

"Alpha Rene Beck," she says, on cue. “I pledge myself as your Luna.”

Alpha Doyle's in the third row with his arms crossed, and

  • Alpha's Obsession With His Pet   Chapter 94 – The Trial

    (Cole)By nine the hall that held a crowning holds a court, and I've got wolves on every door and a bad feeling I can't assign a post to.Twelve council seats.Knox presiding.Two prisoners' chairs, set apart.Maliyah takes hers like it's the head of a table.Valeria takes hers like it's a bus seat.Rene stands at the rail with Angelique.Brynn sits alone in the second row, and I sent Tova to sit behind her, because somebody should, and Tova's the only one who'd agree.Victor sits with the pack.Not accused yet.Confessed, but not yet charged.Levi Know runs his floor in a particular order, and I've stopped trying to predict it."This council convenes on three matters," Knox says.No gavel. His voice just makes the room go quiet on its own."A capital working purchased against Alpha Beck. The murder of Beta Theodore Pruitt, ten years past. And collusion with the circle that conducted both."The morning goes the way evidence goes.Slow, then all at once.Marta's page from Theodore Prui

  • Alpha's Obsession With His Pet   Chapter 93 – Everything Owed

    (Angelique)Rene shuts the bedroom door and says, "Before the council sits, I need to give you something. It's ugly.""More ugly than this week?""Different ugly. Mine."He stays standing, which is how I know he’s worried."The restaurant. When I told you Brynn tastes sweeter."My stomach drops the way it dropped then.Stupid, that a few words can still do that after everything that’s happened between us."It was a lie. All of it. I never touched her. Not once. Not before you left, not in the five years I thought you were dead, not after."His jaw works."I wanted to hurt you the exact way you'd hurt me, and I aimed for the one place I knew you couldn't armor. So I invented it, and I watched it cause you pain, and I enjoyed it."I already suspected as much, but couldn’t be sure."Why tell me now?""Because in three days I stand in front of a council and swear to tell the truth, and I'm not walking in there with a lie still living in my own house. And because you cringe when she walks

  • Alpha's Obsession With His Pet   Chapter 92 – The Counter

    (Brynn)They send for me before I've finished my coffee, which tells me everything about my standing in this house now.Not invited.Sent for.The study's crowded.Rene behind the desk.Angelique by the window, keeping her face neutral in a way that must take effort.The Warden in the good chair, and Cole by the door like furniture with opinions."Sit," Rene says."I'll stand. Whatever this is, I’m sure it won’t take long."Levi Knox smiles like I've said something pleasant.I hate that about him.You can't land anything on the man.It all just sinks in and disappears, and he looks at you like he saw where it came from."Your mother made the Alpha an offer," he says."Her life for the unbinding of the working. She believes she's the only door out.""She usually is.""Not this time."And then he lays it out, plain, the way you'd explain a recipe.Capital workings fall under Warden's law.The unbinding takes the hand that cast it, and they have that hand, sitting in a cell, already trad

  • Alpha's Obsession With His Pet   Chapter 91 – The Forecast

    (Rene)The guard opens the sewing room door and I step into the smell of my prisoner.Lavender and steel.Five days in a ten-foot room and she's sitting like the chair owes her rent."Alpha."Maliyah folds her hands."Thank you for coming.""You have five minutes.""I'll need three."'Kill her,' my wolf says.Low.Steady.He's said it every hour since I learned what she did to Theodore.'She helped murder our mate's father. She threatened our mate carrying our pup. Open her throat.'Not yet.Council convenes in three days.She answers in front of everyone, with Angelique watching, or it's not an answer at all.I stay standing.She doesn't mind.She'd conduct this meeting from the bottom of a well."You're aware of the working on you," she says.No preamble."The whole district is, after my daughter's little performance. Crown anyone but Brynn and your heart stops. Four attempts, four failures, you've felt the vice yourself.""Get to it.""The council convenes in three days. They'll wa

  • Alpha's Obsession With His Pet   Chapter 90 – Kept

    (Rene)Something small and heavy lands on my chest at half past six and announces, "The sun's awake.""The sun is not awake.""It's a little bit awake."Zack pries at my eyelid with one finger."You have to make waffles now. It's the rules."Angelique doesn't move.Five years of doing every morning alone, and the woman has learned to sleep through an airstrike.So I get up.I carry my son downstairs upside down, because that's apparently also the rules, and I make waffles while he sits on the counter and supervises."More," he says."You've had two and almost an entire can of whipped cream.""Giants eat nine.""Giants eat what their fathers give them."He grins around his fork like I've said something wonderful.Fathers.He's still trying the word on, every chance he gets, checking it still fits.Five years of these mornings happened without me.I can't get them back.But I can stack new ones on top until the pile's taller than the hole, and I intend to start today.Tova comes in at e

  • Alpha's Obsession With His Pet   Chapter 89 – The Circle Breaks

    (Parker)The town has one diner, one gas station, and a motel with nine rooms.I've been watching all three since yesterday noon.Cole's men are watching the roads.From the diner window I can keep an eye on the other two while sitting in front of a coffee I don't drink.Rene sent a message an hour ago.Valeria struck and failed.Zack's untouched.Tova took a cord across the arm and survived swearing all the way.My hands were clenched into fists for a long time after that last part.I didn’t think I’d ever be interested in a woman again, but Tova sparks something inside me.'The witch will come here,' my wolf says. 'Wounded animals go to ground they know.'She's not wounded.That's the thing none of them understand yet.Eleven years I've watched this circle work, always one step behind.They don't rage and they don't give up.They calculate.And the calculation changed this morning.They’ll regroup and look for a different way.The bus from the county line comes in at four.Three peo

    (Angelique)Gold.His eyes have gone gold.Wolf-gold, the color the eye turns when the animal comes up to the surface to look out.The exact thing I've spent years making sure mine never do where a human can see.So either Parker isn't human.Or I've finally lost it."Quiet," he says, before I can

  • Alpha's Obsession With His Pet   Chapter 3 – One Hour

    (Angelique)The bell over the door is still swinging when my knees give out.I catch the edge of the booth before I hit the floor.There's broken glass and debris everywhere.The pitcher, two plates, the tray. Damaged stock comes out of my wages. That's the thought my brain hands me.Not he's here.

    (Rene)The Murphys are already on their feet when I close the distance to her."Get out," I say without turning my head. "Now."The bell rings, leaving us alone in the room.She is shaking.Mine. Protect. Claim. Take her. Mark her.I push my wolf down, warning him to be quiet. Angelique is shaking

  • Alpha's Obsession With His Pet   Chapter 1 – Booth Six

    (Angelique) Five years ago, I ran away from my mate.I was pregnant, terrified, and convinced leaving was the only way to protect my child.Now I'm twenty-six years old, living in a rundown trailer in a human town that doesn't know werewolves exist. I work double shifts at a diner, hide my scent w
