After carefully searching all of my father's documents and re-reading my mother's diaries, I learned nothing new. Time to search Black Talon, of course, River and Cade insisted on coming, along with four Iron Fang bikers and Antonia.

The convoy was excessive and obvious and exactly the kind of show of force that would make everyone nervous.

But I didn't argue.

Not after the lake. Not after the silence that had settled between us like a wall.

  • I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate    Bound by Strategy

    After carefully searching all of my father's documents and re-reading my mother's diaries, I learned nothing new. Time to search Black Talon, of course, River and Cade insisted on coming, along with four Iron Fang bikers and Antonia.The convoy was excessive and obvious and exactly the kind of show of force that would make everyone nervous.But I didn't argue.Not after the lake. Not after the silence that had settled between us like a wall.Beta Shianne met us at the border, her expression carefully neutral. "Alpha.""Shianne." I climbed out of the SUV, leaving my entourage behind. "I need to see Korr's office."Her eyebrows rose. "Any particular reason?""I'm looking for answers. And I think he might have left some behind."She studied me for a long moment, then nodded. "This way."Korr's office was exactly what I expected—dark wood, leather furniture, the kind of space designed to intimidate. Bookshelves lined two walls, filled with ledgers and files and documents that probably ha

  • 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 together like something trying to get in."This was his place?"Shianne nodded, already moving toward the porch. "Rob liked being alone."The cabin looked abandoned—rusted chain on the porch swing, empty bottles by the steps, a bike tarp snapping in the wind. But the moment she unlocked the door, I smelled him. Oil and leather and cigarettes. Wolf."He's still here," I said quietly. "His scent. It's everywhere."River's hand found the small of my back. "Death doesn't erase a man that fast."Shianne stopped just inside, and for the first time since we'd found Rob's body, something in her cracked."Goddess."I followed her gaze to the wall.Photographs. Dozens of them, spanning decades. Rob as a kid

  • 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 kind of grim determination that made me want to scream.I understood why.Howard's death had proven what we'd all suspected—someone was hunting us. Someone with resources, ruthlessness, and a willingness to torture pack members for information.But understanding didn't make it easier to tolerate.Three days after we found Howard, I couldn't take it anymore.I waited until River was in a meeting with the MC President and Cade was coordinating security rotations with Antonia. Then I slipped out the back door, shifted, and ran.Rose stretched beneath my skin, grateful for the freedom, and we ran hard toward the lake on the far edge of Ashwood territory. The place where the trees grew thick, and

  • 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 let me out of their sight anymore. Not since Shianne's call about the poison.My phone vibrated against the nightstand.Antonia's name lit up the screen.I answered before the second buzz. "Yeah?""We found a body." Her voice was flat. Empty. The kind of tone that meant whatever came next would be bad.River stirred beside me, his hand finding my hip even in sleep."Where?" I kept my voice low."Ravine off Highway 9. About fifteen miles from the border." She paused. "Alpha, you need to see this yourself."My stomach dropped. "How bad?""Bad enough that I'm calling you at five in the morning."I was already moving, sliding out from under River's arm, reaching for the jeans I'd left draped ov

  • 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 to instill wisdom, humility, and compassion toward fellow pack members. Not a pack requirement, just good politics. After this was all over, anything that wasn't confidential I would turn over to the pack libraries. My mother's Alice's handwriting filled every page. She never liked the title Luna and refused to let the pack address her that way. Neat. Precise. The kind of records a Luna kept when she knew the pack's survival depended on memory.I pulled the first one toward me and opened it, hoping to find something I may have missed in my first pass. The leather creaked.The pages smelled like dust and old ink.I started reading.Names. Dates. Alliances. Feuds that went back decades. M

  • I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate    More than One Enemy

    Beta Antonia found me three hours later, still at the border between the Alpha Thomas pack and the Ashwood pack.I was still at the barn, coordinating patrols with Marc and River. The 48-hour clock was already ticking.She didn't knock. Just walked in, and the look on her face stopped every conversation cold."We have a problem," she said.Her voice was flat. Clinical."Livestock are dead near the eastern creek. Three patrol wolves are vomiting blood. Two children from the lower settlement are running fevers." She paused. "The water smells wrong."Marc's hand stilled on the map.River's jaw tightened."How many dead?" I asked."Twelve head of cattle. Four goats. All within fifty yards of the creek."Rose stirred, low and dangerous. Poison."Show me."The ride to Eastern Creek felt longer than it should have.The air changed before we reached the water—something metallic and sharp cutting through the pine. The birds went silent first. No crows. No jays. Just nothing.We cut our engines
