Sofia's Pov

The crossing point was supposed to be clean. I sat right in the back seat with the baby pressed tight against my chest, my eyes fixing on the camera housing on the stone checkpoint wall while the car rolled past the gate bar.

Maren held the wheel with both hands, her gaze staying fixed on the gray asphalt ahead. She did not appear concerned about the lens at all.

I watched her shoulders through the front mirror, but I was not certain whether that meant there was nothing to be c

  • I Was Your Dying Omega, Now I'm Your Sovereign Alpha   Chapter 63: Old Allegiances

    Lola’s PovThe white document page shook slightly between Williams's large fingers as I leaned my torso closer to the light.The name on the top registration row was Aldric Voss. I had never heard those syllables spoken in the territory office before today. I looked up from the paper sheet to examine Williams's face, and his features were doing something they had never done in all the long weeks I had known his team. It was not simple anger. It was something much older than anger. It looked like a cold weight that had been sitting deep inside his chest for a long time without a proper name attached to the bone."Who is Aldric Voss?" I asked, my boots shifting flat on the bare floorboards.Williams remained completely quiet for a long moment, his eyes staying fixed on the ink lines."He was my father's oldest living friend," Williams answered, his voice dropping to a low rasp as he folded the document back over. "He served on the founding territories advisory board for twenty full yea

  • I Was Your Dying Omega, Now I'm Your Sovereign Alpha   Chapter 62: The Fourth Intermediary

    Sofia's Pov I made the cold mental calculation that I had been running through my head since Tristain sent that specific device message two full days ago from the city block. They knew about Father now. The ledger was open. I had been sitting with that exact piece of information in the dark rooms, weighing what it meant for the legal seats and what it did not mean for our safety, and I had finally arrived at a fresh conclusion that surprised my own mind a little bit.The core conclusion was very simple. There was exactly one major card left in my hand that I had not played before the territory panel, and it was not a weapon card that I could swing to crack a skull. It was a trade card. It was a piece of paper that I had to give away entirely to get any real value from the deal at all."Tristain's father was not the only outside connection in the payment chain," I spoke, my voice staying low so it did not wake the child.Lola watched my face without moving a muscle in her neck."The

  • I Was Your Dying Omega, Now I'm Your Sovereign Alpha   Chapter 61: Underlying History

    Lola’s PovThe room stayed completely quiet for a long moment after Sofia finished speaking her threat.Williams stood exactly one step behind my right shoulder, his hand resting near his coat pocket while his boots stayed planted on the bare floorboards. Maren remained directly by the glass window pane, her arms remaining folded across her dark sweater jacket while she watched the landing door.The baby was still reaching toward my face. Her small fingers wiggled in the open air space between the mattress and the entry frame, her round eyes staying fixed entirely on my chin.I looked down at the tiny hands for three seconds, then I shifted my gaze back to Sofia's face."I know you are not done," I spoke, my voice staying flat and level under the ceiling light.Sofia pulled the white wrap tighter around the child's shoulder line. "Then why are you standing in this room, Lola?""Because she is here," I answered, my head nodding once toward the lap space where the infant sat.Sofia's ja

    Lola’s Pov "Third location," Williams spoke when I slid the bar open. I dropped the device onto the fabric cushion and reached for my keys instantly. I landed in the driver seat of my car before the call transmission could even click off the screen network. I turned the ignition key with a fast twist of my wrist, my boots pressing the floor pedal until the engine roared. One of Williams's guard workers sat directly in the passenger seat beside my jacket. He did not turn his face to make casual conversation during the trip, and I appreciated that silence. I spent all forty minutes of the drive staring straight at the white road lines, my hands staying locked on the wheel frame. I did not spend a single mile thinking about what I was going to say when I walked through the house door. Thinking about the words would not help the situation now, the only thing that mattered in the world was getting to the house destination. The car tires hit the gravel turn at the forty-minute ma

  • I Was Your Dying Omega, Now I'm Your Sovereign Alpha   Chapter 59: Forward Route

    William's PovThe green light on the console screen flashed twice before the digital file expanded to show the crossing lane. I sat in the driver seat of my truck, my hand resting flat on the steering wheel while the camera frames downloaded into the system storage block."I have the footage," I spoke into the device, keeping my eyes fixed on the display panel."What is the time stamp on the crossing bar?" Cain asked, his voice coming through the speaker with a crackling hiss."Forty minutes ago," I answered, my finger tapping the glass surface to zoom the lens view. "The plate matches Maren's registered car numbers. The vehicle's direction points straight toward the eastern state line.""She moved through the gate very fast.""Maren is good at her work, but she is not invisible to our team," I muttered, my chin lifting as I checked the dashboard clock. "She has been out of active fieldwork for three full years. Three years is a long time to remain away from the tracking net. Comfor

    Sofia's Pov The crossing point was supposed to be clean. I sat right in the back seat with the baby pressed tight against my chest, my eyes fixing on the camera housing on the stone checkpoint wall while the car rolled past the gate bar. Maren held the wheel with both hands, her gaze staying fixed on the gray asphalt ahead. She did not appear concerned about the lens at all. I watched her shoulders through the front mirror, but I was not certain whether that meant there was nothing to be concerned about or whether Maren was simply the kind of worker who never shows any signs of stress under pressure. The baby stayed completely asleep in her blanket. She had fallen asleep twenty minutes into the drive after we left the rooming block, and she had been heavy and warm against my shirt since then. I looked down at the top of her small head, my thumb tracing the edge of her wrap. "They know about Father," I muttered, my voice staying very low so it did not echo in the cabin. "Who to
