His Rejected Mate, Her Secret Twins The Buyer
POV: LachlanThe trail ended in the dockyards.By then, the afternoon had turned the color of old brass. The coast road gave way to chain-link fences and rust-streaked shipping containers stacked six high. Gulls wheeled overhead. Somewhere, a crane groaned. The air smelled of diesel, salt, and fish, with the faint, stubborn tang of blood beneath it.Declan’s blood.Lachlan crouched behind a pallet of shipping crates and let the scent settle. Silver had damaged his nose, but his son’s blood cut through everything. Fresh, close, and unmistakable.Rhys settled beside him. “Third warehouse on the left. Green roof.”“I see it.” The building stood at the end of a gravel lane, long and low, with boarded windows and a sealed loading dock. An abandoned freight depot, left to decay after its owner went bankrupt. Lachlan shifted back, changed into the clothes Hamish had brought, and covered the last forty meters with binoculars in hand.Two guards stood at the main entrance. They weren't rogues
His Rejected Mate, Her Secret Twins Scent and Silver
POV: Lachlan The first rule of tracking was that panic made you blind.Lachlan had known that since he was sixteen, when his father took him into the Grampians at dusk and told him to find a fox by scent alone. He knew it now, standing beside the torn ward at the Pack House garden, silver blisters spreading across his shoulder and his son’s blood staining the grass. Yet he could not stop his hands from shaking.So he channelled the tremor into his voice.“Rhys. Hamish. Take the north and east roads. Check every junction. Nobody leaves the territory without being stopped and searched.” He kept his eyes on the grass. “Silvercrest sentries take the coast road. Ask Darcy for his fastest runners. I want six teams of three, each with a tracker.”“Yes, Alpha.”“Cooper.” Cooper Ashford stood three meters away, his lip split and knuckles torn from the rogue he had taken down. The attacker lay bound and gagged on the lawn, unconscious, while Darcy’s men carried him towards the cells. Cooper’s
His Rejected Mate, Her Secret Twins Gone
POV: Imogen She did not remember crossing the room.One moment she was standing at the window with a mug in her hand. The next, she was on the veranda steps, barefoot on hot stone, Cooper beside her, as a familiar sound tore across the lawn. She had heard it only once before in her life.An Alpha’s roar.Lachlan stood in the middle of the garden, surrounded by three men who had breached the north wall. They had not climbed over it. They had torn through the ward-line, leaving a ragged opening where the air looked peeled back like wet paper.Dressed in black, they were lean, fast and grimly professional. One already had a claw buried in Lachlan’s shoulder.Silver. Imogen saw it in his reaction. The claw glinted with a metallic sheen, and where it dragged across his skin, the flesh blistered white before blood welled beneath it.Lachlan seized the attacker’s wrist and snapped it. The crack was followed by a scream. A second man charged low, drove into Lachlan’s ribs and forced him back
His Rejected Mate, Her Secret Twins Three Days of Almost Normal
POV: Imogen By the third morning, the guest wing had settled into a routine, and Imogen hated how quickly she had adapted to it.She woke at six to Declan arguing with the ceiling about whether it was too early for pancakes. She made tea in the little kitchenette, logged into the school portal at the sitting room desk, and taught her Year Three class through a laptop screen. Thirty small faces filled thirty boxes, while two sentries guarded the door, and Hayley sat at her feet with a nature book open on her knees.It was a strange kind of safety. The walls, wards, and armed wolves in the corridor offered protection, yet she still felt as though she were holding her breath.Lachlan had not returned to Melbourne.He took his calls in the Pack House library, pacing the length of the room with his phone to his ear while Kieran’s voice came through the speaker. Imogen had passed the door twice and heard him mention reallocating resources and refusing to make changes until he returned, all
His Rejected Mate, Her Secret Twins What Was Under the Bed
POV: Lachlan Rhys and Hamish arrived in nine minutes, which Lachlan would remember as the only thing that went to schedule all night.They searched the perimeter first, moving along the fence in the dark with the silent efficiency of wolves who had done this too many times. Lachlan stayed inside, at the doorway of the twins’ room, while Imogen packed two small bags beside him. She folded pyjamas, a blue jumper, and a stuffed rabbit with one ear chewed through, working with stiff concentration, as though she might fall apart if she stopped.“Anything he can’t sleep without?” Lachlan asked.“The rabbit. The moonlight.” She pointed. “Declan has a particular blanket. Hayley has the nature books.”“I’ll carry those.” She looked up at him, and for a moment he thought she might argue. Then she handed him the books.Hamish found it twenty minutes later.He knelt beside the far wall of the twins’ room, a torch clenched between his teeth and fine tweezers in his hand. He removed the torch from
His Rejected Mate, Her Secret Twins Not Negotiable
POV: Lachlan Lachlan had his phone out before Matilda finished speaking. Rhys answered on the second ring. “Alpha.”“Cottage. Fifteen minutes. Bring Hamish and the sweep kit.” His voice remained flat. “Full perimeter, then the interior. Nobody enters without my approval.”“Understood.” He ended the call and found Imogen watching him from across the twins’ bed. Over the past two days, he had learned to recognize that expression as a warning.“You didn’t ask me,” she said.“There wasn’t time.”“There’s always time to ask.” She stood, one hand resting on Declan’s blanket. “This is my house.”“Someone stood within half a mile of it tonight, planning your children’s deaths.” He kept his voice low. The twins were asleep, and his anger was more dangerous when he no longer raised his voice. “Your back door has a standard lock, and a six-year-old could climb the garden fence. You’re moving. Tonight.”“I don’t take orders from you.”“This isn’t about us.” His tone came out harder than he inten
