I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate Where the Real Power Lies
"They chose you," I said. "All of you. River. Cade. Josylyn's mate. Elara's. Mara's." The thought had been building since Josiah said it and I needed to say it out loud to hear how it landed. "Our father arranged it. Maybe Korr was part of it too. The organization, or something adjacent to it, or just — men who thought they were managing something larger than themselves."The silence in the car had weight."All of my sisters," I said slowly. "Josylyn. Elara. Mara." I let the shape of it settle. "Their matings were chosen. Arranged. The trials, the selections, the bonds that followed — our father's hand was in all of it."River was very still."But not yours," Cade said quietly. He wasn't asking."Not mine." And there it was — the thing that had been sitting underneath the cold dread, small and stubborn and warm. "I was the one who wasn't chosen. The trials I passed weren't rigged. The bond that formed wasn't engineered." I looked at River. Then at Cade. "You two are the only thing in
I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate The Destroyer’s Voice
Laney POV My sister's pack home was beautiful. We now stood in the Alpha's meeting room flanked by soldiers. It did not keep me from speaking in direct tones. "Where do you actually work, Alpha Josiah?" River asked. "Who do you really work for?""Careful, young bloods." His voice dropped to a low, deliberate tone. "This is my pack, and my first priority. You are still addressing an Alpha."Laney spoke up. "And I am also an Alpha — with a Destroyer wolf who can command." She let that settle before continuing. "I am not my sister Mara. I don't use that power lightly. But I will if I have to. I don't take kindly to threats."Cade glanced behind them. Josiah's soldiers had begun closing in, tightening into a circle at their backs, slow and quiet the way wolves move when they want you to feel surrounded before you realize it."River," Cade said softly."Yup," River answered. "I see it."Laney spoke again, and this time something rose in her voice she hadn't consciously put there — somet
I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate THE SAFE HOUSE
Sirus was in the kitchen when I arrived, sitting at the table with a coloring book spread in front of him. Four years old and already carrying the weight of knowing his mother was gone. He looked up when I walked in, and his whole face changed—lit up like I'd brought the sun with me."Laney!" He scrambled down from his chair and ran straight for my legs.I scooped him up, held him against my chest. He was small. Warm. Real in a way nothing else had been since Korr hit the ground."Hey, baby," I said quietly."You came back." He wrapped his arms around my neck. "You always come back.""Always," I confirmed.We sat back down at the table, and I let him show me his drawings—a wolf, a house, something that might have been a tree. I made appropriate sounds of appreciation while my mind was already three moves ahead, already calculating what Josiah knew and what he was hiding.But I stayed present for him. That was the deal I'd made with myself."Laney?" His voice was smaller now. Uncertain
I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate Bad Intentions
The kitchen stayed quiet for a long moment after Elara's words landed.Please don't let them take my child.I had spent the last ten years building walls between myself and my half-sister — brick by careful brick, mortared with her silences and her father's cruelty and the way she'd looked through me at family gatherings like I was a smudge on expensive glass. I had built those walls very well.They were doing nothing useful right now."Cade," I said."Already on it." He was typing before I finished his name. "I'm pulling Wren off the northern rotation. East border cabin, prepped within the hour.""Not the one near the Sirus checkpoint. The other one. The old well."He looked up. Understood. Nodded.The cabin by the old well sat within Iron Fang's borders but outside the circuit of anyone connected to Sirus or the mountain-hill survivors. It didn't appear in patrol schedules because I'd made sure of it. It would do."You'll be safe," I told Elara. "Two guards. They won't know who you a
I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate Listen to My Heart
Elara looked like hell.I had never once, in my entire life, seen my half-sister look like hell. Elara was the polished one, the Luna who ruled Silverpine with a manicured everything and a mate who agreed with her in public and — I had always assumed — in private. The woman standing in the rain outside the Iron Den bar was unrecognizable. Her polish is gone. Her coat was soaked through. Her hair hung in ropes. "Laney." Her voice cracked on my name. "Please. Before anyone calls Silverpine. Before they find out where I am."Cade and River stayed half a step behind me, and through the bond I felt them both do the same thing I was doing — sweep the treeline, the road, the dark beyond the parking lot lights. Rose pushed against the inside of my skin, hackles up."No one followed her," Rose said after a moment. "Or no one she knows about.""Inside," I said. "Not the main hall. Around back through the kitchen."Iron Den's old kitchen was stone-walled and windowless, with exactly one door,
I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate The Price of a Favor
I read the message three times.Not because I didn't understand it. Because I understood it immediately, completely, the way you understand a trap the moment your foot is already inside it — and some stubborn part of me kept hoping a fourth read would change the words.I got rid of your problem. Now you're going to help me get rid of mine. Time to pay me back, Laney.Unknown number. Of course, it was an unknown number.River felt it first — he always did. The bond between us went taut, a fishing line with something heavy on the end, and he turned from his conversation with Beta Marc mid-sentence, his eyes finding mine across the hall. Cade was slower by half a heartbeat, but only because Cade was never slow, just deliberate. He set down the cup of coffee someone had pressed into his hand and crossed the room like the floor belonged to him."What?" River said. Not a question. River didn't ask questions when he could feel the answer pressing against his ribs through me.I turned the pho
I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate What River Found
I woke to the smell of meat and eggs.For a moment, I just lay there, cocooned between warm sheets with Cade's body pressed against my back, his arm heavy across my waist. The morning light filtered through the curtains, soft and grey, and somewhere in the kitchen, something sizzled."River?" I cal
I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate What Tomorrow Would Bring
River stood with me, his forehead resting against mine in silence.Then he kissed me deeply.When he pulled away, he locked forearms with his brother. The two men held each other's gaze for a moment before River gave a single nod and turned back toward the village.Next, Brianne said her goodbyes b
I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate Things Hidden in Plain Sight
The trail stopped being a trail about an hour in.After that, it was just mountain — loose shale, dense tree cover, the kind of climb that doesn't apologize for itself. My guards had gone quiet. Even River, who ran fifty miles on a bad week, was conserving breath.I didn't ask for help.I didn't ne
I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate The Unnamed Heir
“Please… It’s a long story, and I am not a threat to anybody,” I said, pausing before adding carefully, “Who is not a threat to me and mine.”I looked at both my mates before gesturing toward those standing behind me.She waited. Watched. Calculated.Then the air softened again, settling into that
