Cade kneels in front of me, his hands on my knees. "Then we dismantle him back," he says. "One layer at a time."

My father built this pack from nothing. I won't let Korr tear it apart.

"Tomorrow," I say. "We start tomorrow."

River pulls me to my feet, his arms wrapping around me. "Tomorrow," he agrees.

And for tonight, I let myself rest in their arms, knowing that the fight for what rightfully was mine is just beginning.

His whole body went rigid.

Cade’s eyes flashed gold a second later.

  • 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 inside Iron Fang's border but outside the circuit of anyone connected to Sirus or the mountain hills 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

  • 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 the Ground Takes

    The ceremony was small.That was the right word for it — not intimate, not private. Small. The kind of smallness that happens when the person being buried leaves little warmth behind. Mara had been my sister by blood and by pack law, and I had loved her the way you love something complicated — carefully, from a certain distance, always aware of the weight. Standing at the edge of the grave in the grey morning light, I tried to find grief that felt clean and came up empty. Even my mates on either side of me could not make me feel anything beyond the sadness of a potentially great wolf dying without a decent legacy as pack luna. What I found instead was the habit of watching.I pushed my awareness out in a slow, quiet sweep the way I always did now — the way I could not stop doing, even here, even now. Pack members ringed the grave in loose clusters, shoulders drawn in, faces turned down. Beta Marc stood across from me, still and correct, Josylyn by his side, tears flowing down her fac

  • I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate    The Pack Line

    The Redwood and MossThorn shared pack line was quiet, the way forests get quiet when something is watching.I felt it the moment I stepped through the tree break — that held-breath stillness where the birds have already made their decision and left. I kept walking. Keep my hands loose. Pushed the mental channel out in a low sweep and counted what was there.More wolves than should have been. Positioned wrong for an honor guard. Positioned right for something else.Mara was already in the clearing.She was standing exactly at the Redwood side of the pack line marker — not a step over, not a step back — and the first thing I noticed was her eyes. They were moving. Tracking the tree line to her left, then right, then back to me, then left again. Mara did not have restless eyes. Mara had always had the stillness of someone who knew exactly where every threat was because she had placed them there herself.These eyes were not those eyes.I crossed to the Moss Thorn side of the marker — Josy

  • I Accidentally Became the Alphas' Mate    Bloodline Betrayal

    The pregnancy test sat on the edge of the infirmary sink like it was waiting for me to deal with it.I was not dealing with it.I was rinsing my mouth for the fourth time in an hour, conducting a calm and rational inventory of everything I was responsible for.One war. Actively in progress.Three packs under my authority. One more whose Luna I was promised to become. Four territories, four sets of people who needed the woman gripping this sink to keep her head on straight.One five-year-old cousin who looked at me like I was the only thing between him and the end of the world.One enemy who had sent back a surrender or die with the confidence of someone who believed those were the only options.And now this.I looked at my reflection. It looked back with an expression that said, "You knew what you were doing, and now you must live with it. My wolf, Rose, had opinions."I know," I told her.From the main infirmary room, I could hear River and Cade not hovering — too still, too careful
