Broken by My Family, Reclaimed by the Alpha King Chapter 82
Murielle's POVRook draped his own coat over my shoulders before we'd gone twenty feet from the estate, and I let him do it without arguing, mostly because arguing would have cost energy I didn't have to spare and partly because it still smelled like him, warm and close, in a way that made the cold morning feel further away than it actually was."You're staring at me," he said, without turning his head."I'm thinking.""That usually worries me.""It should."The corner of his mouth pulled, not quite a smile, and he adjusted his grip at my waist without being asked, steadying me over a root I hadn't seen coming. We walked the rest of the way to where the horses waited in near silence, and I let myself notice, for the first time all night, how much easier it was to breathe with his hand still resting there.He lifted me onto the horse himself before I could argue about that either, then swung up behind me, one arm settling around my middle like it had every right to be there. I didn't t

Alpha King Cassian's POVThe estate looked worse in daylight than it had through smoke.I walked the ground floor with Soren a step behind me, past rooms stripped down to bare shelves and drawers left hanging open, the kind of emptiness that only comes from someone packing with intention rather than fleeing in a panic. A study near the back still held the outline of where books had sat for years, dust gathered thick around rectangles of clean wood where the volumes themselves were gone."This wasn't done this morning," Soren said, crouching to look under a desk that had been cleared of everything but its own weight. "Whoever ran this place has been thinning it out for weeks. Maybe longer.""Which means the fire wasn't panic either." I turned a slow circle in the room, cataloguing what was missing instead of what remained. "It was insurance. In case thinning it out slowly didn't finish the job in time."We found the burned papers in the hearth of what had once been a sitting room, cur

Murielle's POVRook didn't let go of me once we started moving, one arm still braced around my waist while he steered us both toward the sound of his own men gathering at the tree line. I stumbled twice, my legs still not fully mine to command, and both times his grip tightened enough to keep me upright without slowing his pace.Soren reached us before we'd cleared the last stretch of trees, four trackers behind him breathing hard. His eyes moved over me once, taking in the torn hem of my shift, the raw skin at my wrists, the way Rook was all but carrying half my weight, before settling on Rook himself."She's stable enough to move," Rook said, before Soren had asked anything. "I want the estate secured before anyone inside decides burning it down is easier than answering questions.""Already on it." Soren's gaze flicked to me once more, something almost gentle in it that didn't match the rest of his hard, efficient face. "Elle. Can you walk?""I can walk." I proved it by taking a ste

Murielle's POVHe was close.I didn't have time to hold onto that thought before the shouting behind me sharpened, another voice answering closer than the last, followed by the crash of someone coming through the trees.They'd found the empty room.I ran.The ground was hard with frost, and every step sent pain through my bare feet. I couldn't feel two of my toes anymore, which should probably have worried me more than it did, but there were men behind me and another howl somewhere ahead, and standing still long enough to worry about anything wasn't an option.The howl came again, further off this time, and something inside me stirred with it, so faintly I might have convinced myself I'd imagined it if I hadn't felt the same thing moments earlier. My wolf wasn't telling me where to go. There were no words in my head, no sudden instinct pointing me toward safety. She simply hadn't gone completely still again, and after three years of silence, even that was enough to make my chest ache.

Murielle's POV I let her words sit in the room a moment before either of us moved. Then she stepped inside and shut the door behind her, the lock clicking softly into place."You planted the note," I said. "In Colette's room. The first one, and the second.""Both," she said plainly, with no defense in it, the way you'd confirm the time of day. "The passage behind her hearth has been there longer than either of us has been alive. Nobody ever thought to check it because nobody ever thought a servant's daughter would know a house better than the family who owned it.""The archive. The man who broke in there. Was that you too?""Partly." She crossed to the single chair by the window and sat, unhurried, like this conversation cost her nothing at all. "I don't do everything myself, Elle. I never needed to. That was rather the point.""You work for her," I said, keeping my voice steady even though my pulse hadn't caught up yet. "Ophelia."Something flickered behind Tamsin's eyes at the name

Murielle's POVNobody dragged me the last stretch to the doors.That alone should have felt like relief, and instead it unsettled me more than being hauled would have. Two of the men flanking me slowed their pace to match mine without being told, one of them even steadying my elbow when my knees threatened to give on the front steps, careful in a way that had nothing kind behind it.They hadn't cared when I stumbled on the road. They'd been willing to drag me if I stopped walking and tie me across a wolf's back when I couldn't keep up. Now, suddenly, they were making sure I reached the doors on my own feet.Someone wanted me alive, but apparently that wasn't enough anymore. Whoever was waiting inside wanted me in one piece too.They brought me through a side door instead of the grand ones under the Draeger crest, down a short corridor lined with paintings gone dark with age, and into a room that looked nothing like anywhere else I'd been dragged through tonight. A proper bed instead o
