CURSED TO THE TRIPLET ALPHAS Chapter 40: The declaration
The message arrived at dawn, carried by a lone wolf who approached the border under a white cloth tied to a raised branch, the oldest signal for parley any pack still recognized, old enough that half the younger Marlowe fighters had to ask what it meant.Griffin met the messenger himself, flanked by Cassian and Dax, Sloane standing close enough to hear despite Griffin’s clear preference that she stay further back. She’d stopped arguing about that particular instinct of his. She simply ignored it instead.The messenger didn’t come armed, didn’t come aggressive, just held out a folded piece of parchment with the particular reluctance of someone who understood exactly how unwelcome its contents would be.“From Damon Reyes,” the messenger said. “He said you’d want to read it yourselves rather than hear it secondhand.”Griffin took it, unfolded it slowly, and Sloane watched his face change as he read, controlled fury giving way to something colder, sharper, more alarmed.“What does it say,
CURSED TO THE TRIPLET ALPHAS Chapter 39: A good day
It was Cassian’s idea, though he’d never admit to something so sentimental out loud he called it “morale management” when Griffin questioned the wisdom of pausing preparations for even half a day, but Sloane recognized it for what it actually was. One last good day, deliberately carved out before whatever came next arrived to take it from them.“The scouts confirm Damon’s still three days out,” Cassian said, when Griffin raised an eyebrow at the sudden lull in the training schedule. “Running everyone into exhaustion right before a fight is bad strategy. A rested pack fights better than an exhausted one. This is tactical, not soft.”“Whatever you need to tell yourself,” Dax said, grinning for the first time in days, already looking more like himself now that his injuries had mostly healed.The morning unfolded slow and golden, sunlight doing something gentle to a compound that had spent the last week bracing itself tight as a fist. Someone got a fire going early despite the warm weathe
CURSED TO THE TRIPLET ALPHAS Chapter 38: Preparing for the storm
Word of Ravenwood’s mobilization reached Marlowe territory within two days, a defector, one of the smaller-pack recruits Damon had gathered, slipping away from the growing army with a warning he delivered at genuine personal risk before vanishing back into the woods rather than face what he’d started to suspect he’d signed up for.“Full mobilization,” Griffin said grimly, relaying the news to the assembled war council that evening. “Damon’s pulled together outside recruits from at least three broken packs. Numbers we haven’t faced before. They’re not testing us anymore. They’re coming for a real fight.”The training yard the next morning looked different than Sloane had ever seen it, not the usual rotation of drills and sparring, but something closer to a full pack mustering, every wolf capable of fighting drilled relentlessly from dawn until well past dark. Rowan ran her through combinations twice as hard as usual, no patience left for gentleness now that the timeline had compressed
CURSED TO THE TRIPLET ALPHAS Chapter 37: Confirmed
The scout who brought word back to Ravenwood territory hadn’t wanted the assignment. Word of the Marlowe claiming ceremony had traveled fast even before he’d been sent to verify it, and something in the certainty of what he’d have to report made him linger at the border longer than necessary before finally forcing himself back toward the compound that no longer felt entirely like home.He found Silas alone in the study, exactly where he usually was these days, sidelined, isolated, a man watching his own pack slip through his fingers one meeting at a time.“It’s true,” the scout said without preamble. “I saw the mark myself, from a distance. All three of them, lit up together during some kind of ceremony three nights past. Half their pack witnessed it. It’s not a rumor, Silas. It’s done.”Silas closed his eyes briefly, something in his chest sinking even though he’d known this was coming, had braced for it the moment Marcus’s warning first reached him weeks ago. “Public and permanent.”
CURSED TO THE TRIPLET ALPHAS Chapter 36: Without strategy
Cassian hadn’t left the war table in three days, and Sloane had stopped trying to make him.She understood it now in a way she hadn’t fully grasped before, this was how he grieved, how he processed fear he didn’t know how to name out loud. While Dax recovered in the infirmary, Cassian buried himself in maps and old texts and patrol logs, searching for the miscalculation that had let seven Ravenwood wolves slip past their intelligence undetected, as if solving that particular puzzle might somehow retroactively undo the danger his brother had walked into.“You need to sleep,” she said, setting a plate of food beside his elbow for the third time that day, untouched from the first two attempts.“I need to understand how our intelligence missed four extra wolves,” he said, not looking up. “That’s not a small margin of error, Sloane. That’s the difference between Dax coming home wounded and Dax not coming home at all.”“You can’t fix it by staring at the same map until your eyes bleed.”“I
CURSED TO THE TRIPLET ALPHAS Chapter 35: What losing her would mean
The scouting mission wasn’t supposed to take this long.Dax had volunteered for it himself a quiet pass along the northern ridge to map any new Ravenwood movement since Marcus’s warning, in and out before dawn, nothing that should have taken more than a few hours. Sloane had watched him go with the mark humming low and steady, no warning in it, nothing to suggest the night would go anything but smoothly.Six hours later, it hadn’t.She stood at the window of their room as the sky lightened toward gray, arms wrapped around herself, watching the tree line for a shape that wasn’t coming. Griffin had gone out twice already to check with the border patrols. Cassian hadn’t left the war table since midnight, maps spread out in front of him like he could locate Dax through sheer force of calculation.“He’s late,” Sloane said, for what felt like the hundredth time. “He’s never late.”“He’s resourceful,” Cassian said, not looking up, though the tightness in his voice betrayed exactly how little
