I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate THE TERMS
With Voss gone, it was Josiah's turn to answer.He didn't get to walk away clean the way he'd planned it — sign a few papers, disappear north, let the council forget his name in a decade the way councils forget things when there's no body and no headline. Not after ten years of running the largest smuggling corridor in shifter territory. Not after what he did to my sister to get his revenge in the first place. Ten years we knew about. God only knew what we didn't.I looked at Elara across the annex and felt my chest tighten. Two men had spent years turning her into a chess piece — Voss, who'd used her body against her will and left her carrying the proof of it, and Josiah, who'd used her pain the same way, arranging her like a piece on his board because it served his own war. Voss was already gone. Handled. Buried under his own trafficking charges with eleven kids recovered and his name erased from every registry that mattered.Today, it was Josiah's turn. And I got to watch my sister
I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate The Takedown
The clearing was exactly where Elara said it would be.We came through the eastern tree line in the gray hour before full morning, the three of us moving at an even pace, close enough that our shoulders nearly touched. Josylyn on my left. Elara on my right. The ground was soft from two days of rain, and the logging stumps that ringed the clearing's edge were older than I was, mossy and low and offering nothing in the way of cover.Voss was already there.He stood at the far edge of the clearing with seven wolves ranged behind him in a loose formation that was meant to look casual and was not. He was taller than I'd expected — broad-shouldered, the kind of physical presence that had probably served him well his whole life, the easy authority of a man who had never once been the smallest thing in a room. His eyes found me immediately and stayed there.He didn't look at Elara.He didn't look at Josylyn.That was his first mistake."Laney Ashwood." He said my name as if he were identifyin
I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate The Proposal
River's expression did not change when I told him.That was somehow worse than if it had.He stood at the window of the war room — a generous name for the space Alpha Tomas had given us, which was really just a large sitting room with the furniture pushed back — with his arms crossed and his jaw set and his eyes on me the entire time I spoke. Not the map. Not the door. Me. Like if this went sideways, it'd be my fuck-up.Cade sat on the edge of the table. His father, Alpha Rian, had joined us via phone, on speaker, propped against a stack of books in the center of the table. Luna Elizabeth was on the same call, her voice clear and dry and precise as a filed edge. Tomas stood near the back. Marc stood next to Josylyn with his hand at the small of her back, which I suspected was the only thing keeping him from pacing.I laid it out the way I'd laid everything out since this started. Piece by piece. No softening.The sisters enter the clearing. Brianne's wolves inside the perimeter first.
I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate What We're Walking Into
Josylyn found the map first.She'd asked one of Alpha Tomas's wolves for paper — actual paper, not a phone, not a screen — and now it was spread across the bed between us, a printed satellite image of Korr's old territory that someone had pulled from a county land registry. Unmarked roads. Dense tree cover. A river cutting through the eastern edge that didn't appear on most GPS systems because it had been rerouted sometime in the 1970s and never officially updated."Brianne's people have been living here," I said, tracing the tree line with my finger, "for years. On routes that don't exist on any map Voss has built. Which means every blind spot he thinks he owns—""Is occupied," Josylyn finished."By wolves who know that land the way you know your own house in the dark."Elara was sitting cross-legged at the foot of the bed, her palms resting on her knees, her eyes moving across the map with the careful attention she gave things she was committing to memory. She hadn't said much. She
I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate The Ashwood Sisters
The bathroom tile was cold under my knees.I didn't care. I pressed my forehead against the rim of the toilet and breathed through my nose the way Colette had shown me, slow and deliberate, like I could trick my body into believing this was normal. That this was fine. That I was absolutely fine.I was not fine.I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, grabbed the edge of the counter, and pulled myself upright. My reflection in Alpha Tomas's guest bathroom mirror looked like something that had been wrung out and hung to dry. Hair pulled back in a hasty knot, eyes too bright, jaw set the way it always set when I was holding something together that wanted very badly to fall apart.Sirus.The name had been running on a loop since Luna Elizabeth said the words. A tight, relentless circuit. Sirus is missing. We don't know how long. That's the problem.I knew how he got to him. I'd been turning it over since last night, the same way you press a bruise — not because it helps, but because yo
I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate Declan Voss is the Problem
It was Elara who said it.She hadn't spoken in several minutes — I'd noticed her going quiet in the particular way she had when she was turning something over, pressing on it from different angles, checking for where it gave. Her hand was still resting against her stomach."We haven't talked about Declan Voss at all."The room shifted."Not once," she continued, her voice thoughtful and careful and slightly dangerous. "We've been talking about the organization. The bloodline program. The arranged matings, the seeding, the petition, the council." She looked at me. "But not him. Not specifically. Not his role, not why he was even present for any of this." She paused. "Did Josiah mention him?"I thought back through everything Josiah had said. The way he'd talked — the names he'd offered, the threads he'd handed us to pull."No," I said slowly."Not once?""Not once."Elara nodded, like that confirmed something she'd already suspected. "So we sat across from a man who has been embedded i
I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate One Big Ass Lie
The rain turned the mountain road to mud before we reached Rob's cabin. I chose to ride up with Shianne to catch up on pack business. My mates and Beta Antonia followed in a separate vehicle. By the time Shianne killed the engine, water was sheeting off the pines overhead, branches scraping togeth
I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate Gilded Cage
River and Cade became a constant presence—always within arm's reach, always watching, always there. The Iron Fang MC rolled in with a dozen bikers who took up positions around the pack house like sentries. Beta Antonia assigned herself as my personal shadow, following me from room to room with the k
I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate Secrets and Silence
The call came at 4:47 AM.I was already awake—had been for hours, actually, staring at the ceiling while River slept beside me and Cade's breathing rumbled soft and steady from the chair he'd dragged into our bedroom. Literally guarding the door to hear me if I exited the room. Neither of them would
I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate The List
I locked the door behind me.The diaries sat on my desk where I'd left them—three leather-bound volumes, edges worn soft from years of handling.Her diary was labeled simply Alice. Every good Luna kept one. Her journals. After her reign, they were kept in the libraries and taught to the pack pups t
