Maya's POV

"Absolutely not," Voss said, holding up the gown like it had personally offended him. "This color washes you out completely. You need something with actual presence for an announcement this significant."

"I thought you hated the color green," I said. "You fought me on the suit for a week."

"That was different. That was a *suit*. This is a Founders' Ball gown, for the most consequential public relationship announcement this territory has seen in a decade. Completely different stakes."

    Maya's POVThe token sat on Damon's study desk an hour later, small and unassuming despite the chaos it had caused, security personnel filing in and out with updates that all amounted to the same frustrating conclusion: whoever left it had come and gone without a single witness."Ravenmoor markings again," Constance confirmed, examining it with the careful attention of someone who'd spent the past weeks becoming an unwilling expert. "Same craftsmanship as the first. This one's more direct, though. Left at your own event, during your own announcement. That's not subtlety. That's a message.""What message?" I asked."That they're capable of reaching you anywhere," Constance said grimly. "Even somewhere as heavily secured as tonight's gala."Damon's jaw had been tight since the moment Elias showed him the photo, and it hadn't loosened since. "I want the guest list cross-referenced against known coven associates. I want every staff member who worked tonight's event vetted again. If someon

  • I Kissed The Supreme Alpha By Mistake    Chapter 30: The Founders' Ball

    Maya's POVThe ballroom looked like something out of a dream I hadn't known I was allowed to have — chandeliers dripping gold light across three hundred guests, the entire territory's power structure gathered under one roof in silk and tailored suits, string quartet playing something elegant enough to make my hands shake slightly where they rested against Damon's arm."You look terrified," he murmured, leading me through the entrance."I look like a woman about to be publicly announced as the Supreme Alpha's mate in front of everyone who's ever doubted her. Terrified feels appropriate.""You look magnificent. Voss will be insufferable about it for weeks."The burgundy gown had turned out to be the right call, as much as I hated admitting Voss's instincts had beaten mine this time. Heads turned as we crossed the room, whispers trailing in our wake, the particular hush of a crowd collectively recalibrating its understanding of the evening's stakes.I spotted Karen and Priya near the far

That was a *suit*. This is a Founders' Ball gown, for the most consequential public relationship announcement this territory has seen in a decade. Completely different stakes." He tossed the offending gown aside and pulled another from the rack, deep burgundy, structured in a way that made even the hanger look dramatic. "This one.""That looks like something a villain wears in the third act.""Precisely the energy we're going for."I turned to Elias for backup, but he was too busy laughing into his tablet to be useful."Don't look at me," he said. "I stopped having opinions about your wardrobe after the great duck incident taught me you two argue better without my inp

    Maya's POV"Okay," Elias said, spreading three separate folders across the study desk with the energy of a man who'd clearly rehearsed this presentation, "we have options. Some good, some bad, one deeply unhinged that I'm only including because Ruth suggested it and I respect her too much not to.""Start with the unhinged one," I said. "I need the entertainment.""Ruth's suggestion: you publicly announce the relationship is fake, fake a breakup with Alpha Ashford, then swoop back in dramatically at the next council gala to prove everyone wrong. Very telenovela. She's very committed to the bit."Damon, seated across the desk, didn't even look up from the report he was reading. "Absolutely not.""Agreed, mostly for my own sanity," Elias said. "Option two, the good one: we get ahead of whatever Karen and Priya are planning by controlling the narrative first. Public statement confirming the relationship, brief acknowledgment of family estrangement without details, framing it as private fa

  • I Kissed The Supreme Alpha By Mistake    Chapter 27: Meet the Mother (Officially)

    Maya's POV"So," Mom said, setting down her teacup with the particular deliberateness of a woman about to ask an uncomfortable question, "are we going to talk about the fact that you two are dating now, or are we all just going to keep pretending I haven't noticed the matching goofy smiles at breakfast?"I nearly choked on my coffee. Across the table, Damon — who'd wandered in for what he'd clearly assumed was a casual family breakfast — went very still, like a man realizing too late he'd walked into an ambush."Mrs. Ellison—""Diane," Mom corrected, not unkindly. "You've been feeding and housing me for a month. I think we're past formalities.""Diane," Damon amended, recovering some composure. "Yes. Maya and I are... together. Officially, as of last week.""I know. Ruth told me. Also Elias. Also the man who delivers groceries, somehow." Mom's eyes narrowed, though the corner of her mouth was twitching in a way that suggested she was enjoying this far more than either of us. "What I w

    Priya's POVPriya hadn't spoken to Aunt Karen in nearly two years — not since the falling out over Grandma's estate, the one where Karen had accused Priya's mother of playing favorites and stormed out of a funeral reception loud enough that half the pack still brought it up at parties. Calling her now felt like swallowing something bitter.She did it anyway."Well," Karen said, sliding into the booth across from her, eyeing the coffee shop with open disdain. "Didn't expect to hear from you. Last I checked, your side of the family thought mine was an embarrassment.""Things change." Priya wrapped both hands around her cup, steadying herself. "I think we want the same thing now.""And what's that?""For Maya to stop winning." The words cracked out sharper than she intended, months of buried resentment finally splitting open. "Everywhere I turn, it's Maya this, Maya that. My own mother asked me last week why I couldn't be more like my cousin. I nearly threw a plate at her."Something shi
