CURSED TO THE TRIPLET ALPHAS Chapter 130: A courtesy visit
“Ines,” Griffin said again, as if a second hearing might change the shape of it.Nobody spoke under the lintel. Across the yard the herb sheds sent up their thin blue thread of juniper smoke, and Sloane watched it rise and thought, absurdly, of three notes hummed in the dark.“Not in the yard,” Griffin said. “I will not do this where the whole compound can read her face.”They found her in the last shed, sleeves rolled, bundling dried yarrow with a patience that looked like prayer. She did not startle when four shadows filled the doorway. She set the bundle down and wiped her hands slowly on her apron.“I wondered which of you would come first.”Dax put the flask on the bench between them. The cloth around it was faded green and smelled of juniper. “You leave one at the east gate every night,” he said. His voice was rougher than he wanted. “I drank half of them.”“I know. I watched you do it.” She lowered herself onto an upturned crate. “I will tell you what I did, and you will decide
CURSED TO THE TRIPLET ALPHAS Chapter 129: The wrong kind of quiet
Dax walked the east fence three times before sunrise. It was only on the third pass that he admitted he wasn’t checking for anything.The posts were sound. The new stone sat tight in its mortar. Nothing had moved in the tree line since midnight except a fox, which had looked at him with open contempt and gone about its business. He kept walking anyway, one hand trailing along the rail, because stopping meant hearing how quiet it was.War had been loud and simple. There was a wall, an enemy, a next thing to do. Peace was a held breath he didn’t know how to let out, and his body kept waiting for the horn.He had left a flask of tea untouched by the gate post. Someone from the kitchens left one every night for the watch, wrapped in a scrap of cloth against the cold. He kept meaning to drink it. His stomach felt too tight.“You’ll crack the post.”A young Ravenwood wolf named Joren was resetting a gate hinge with a mallet, too hard and too fast, and Dax was across the yard before he had d

Nobody slept much that night, but Cassian slept least.Griffin had taken the list and walked the wall alone, asking them both to leave the name unspoken until morning. He did not trust his own face to hold it in front of anyone. Sloane did not argue. Neither did Cassian, though when she found him in the records room past midnight, he was standing in front of the map with a dagger in his hand and no map left to pin.“You can’t solve it tonight,” she said from the doorway.“I can narrow it.”“You can wreck your eyes and be useless tomorrow.” She crossed the room, took the dagger out of his fingers, and set it on the table. “Griffin said morning. We tell nobody until then. Not Dax, not Ines, not Elias. Not even in whispers.”“You think someone is listening.”“I think somebody already was.” She paused. “I would rather be paranoid for one night than be right the way we were about Marcus.”He rubbed his jaw. His hands were not quite steady, and she realized he had been holding the same brea

Hale left at noon, escorted to the gate by Cassian and four Ravenwood guards. By the time the dust settled behind his horse, three separate groups of wolves were waiting for Griffin in the yard.The first was a knot of young Marlowe fighters led by Tobias, a broad, hot-tempered wolf who had lost a cousin in the training yard attack. “Lock the compound,” he said, before Griffin had finished crossing the gravel. “Question everyone with access to the council stores. We did it for Marcus. We should do it again.”The second group was the elders, standing in a quiet row, watching Griffin the way people watch a bridge they are not sure will hold. The third was a cluster of Ravenwood wolves near the well, silent, wary, and carefully not looking at anyone. They knew what a hunt for a traitor did to a pack that had only just learned to trust itself.Dorian stepped forward before Griffin could speak. His voice was low and not unkind.“A wartime alpha hunts,” he said. “This pack followed you thro
CURSED TO THE TRIPLET ALPHAS Chapter 126: Answering for herself
By the third dawn she had learned the seven founding oaths in order and could recite them backward. Cassian had made her do it on the stairs, in the kitchens, and once while Dax tried to distract her by juggling apples. She had also read the regency clauses until the ink swam, walked the border law with Ines in the rain, and sat through three council sessions in the back row, watching how the elders disagreed and how they stopped.None of it had made her less afraid. She had simply learned to carry the fear where it did not show.The long hall was fuller than she had ever seen it. Marlowe wolves filled the left benches and Ravenwood wolves the right, and in the first row sat Edric Hale, the envoy from Ashgrove, with a leather folio on his knees and the polite expression of a man who had come to watch a weather vane turn. Griffin sat on the dais as alpha, hands folded, face unreadable. Cassian and Dax were on the bench behind her. They had promised to say nothing, and she could feel wh
CURSED TO THE TRIPLET ALPHAS Chapter 125: The petition
The petition arrived at breakfast, carried by a boy who looked as if he would rather have been carrying a live snake.Griffin unrolled it beside his bread, and Sloane watched his face go very still. She had learned to fear that more than shouting.“Seven signatures,” he said. “Dorian’s is first.”“What is it?” Dax asked, mouth full.“A call of inquiry. Under the old law, any elder may demand that the one named in a rite of open standing answer before the pack. Fitness, knowledge, standing.” Griffin passed it to Cassian.Cassian read it twice. “It was last invoked a hundred and forty years ago, against a mate who turned out to be a spy.” He looked up. “It is legal, and it is an insult.”“It is not meant as one.”Dorian stood in the doorway, hat in his hands, which somehow made it worse. “I would like that understood. I mean no offense to the lady.”“Then withdraw it,” Dax said.“I cannot, and I would not.” Dorian stepped inside slowly. His voice was low and tired. “I was a young man th
