LEAVING MY BETRAYING ALPHA Chapter 36 (Alaric's POV)
The worst part was that I remembered every step.I had fallen asleep in the chair with my eyes on Cass, just for a moment, the way you close them in a long conversation. Then my hands moved without me. They gripped the arms of the chair and pushed me upright. My boots found the floor. I walked out of that room like a man wading through a dream, and I could not stop one stride of it."Kael!" I shouted in the dark of my own skull. "Kael, take it back!""Trying." My wolf's voice was a snarl, ragged and strained. "It is wide. It is deep. It is in every bone."I passed Mira asleep in her chair. At the head of the cellar stairs, two Silvermoon guards turned to challenge me, and I watched my own fist take the first one in the jaw. The second got an elbow across the temple. They dropped without a sound. I felt the crunch of it in my knuckles, and I would have vomited if I'd had a stomach to do it with."Peaceful," said the thing wearing my voice. It spoke to no one, almost fondly. "They are o

My mother took one look at the black crescent on Alaric's throat and sat down for the first time in hours.She lowered herself onto the stool in the healer house back room as if her legs had stopped working. Mira hovered behind her with a lamp. Alaric sat on the cot with his chin tilted up, jaw tight, and Elena pressed two fingers to the mark and held them there.I felt a low growl vibrate through the bond, Kael's, furious, like a dog warned off a bone."Hold still," Elena murmured. "Both of you.""I'm holding," Alaric said."I was talking to your wolf."The growl stopped. Elena closed her eyes, and her lips moved without sound, as if she were counting something very old. When she opened them, she looked ten years older."It's a tether," she said. "The Hollow had one door in Cassandra. Last night it learned that one door can be shut. So it built a second one in the only person who could shut it.""In me," Alaric said."In you. It can speak through whichever of you is more afraid." She

The man who killed Marta Hale had been officially dead for seven years."Garrick Voss," Alaric said. He stood over the table with both hands braced on the wood, staring at the scrap of blue wool under the lamp. "It has to be. My father's sixth guard. He vanished the night the other five died. We buried an empty coffin and called it a funeral.""Everyone in this story has an empty grave," I said.Nobody laughed. Gray dawn light crept under the shutters of the healer house back room. In the next room, Marta lay under a sheet where none of us could stop hearing her silence. My mother hadn't sat down since we came in. She stood by the window with her arms wrapped around herself, and when she spoke, her voice was very quiet."He was my jailer for thirteen years."Alaric turned. "You never said.""You never asked." She didn't say it unkindly. "He brought me bread and water every month and never once looked me in the eye. Then one winter he stopped coming. Your father brought the food himsel

Jason didn't run to his mother.He stood very still with Marta's blood drying on his sleeves while Vivienne walked toward him through the torchlight. The wolves in the tunnel pressed back against the walls to let her pass. She stopped a few feet away, her hands open at her sides, the way you hold them when you approach something that might bolt."Jason," she said again."Don't." His voice was hoarse and flat. "Just answer one thing. Is it true? What's in that note?""Yes."One word. It dropped into the tunnel like a stone, and somebody behind me let out a breath.Jason nodded slowly, as if she had told him the time. Then he turned and looked at me."Not to me," he said. "I don't want to hear it. Tell her."He walked away. Kenneth took a step after him, and Jason said, without turning, "Not you." Kenneth stopped as if he'd been struck. The wolves parted, and the dark swallowed Jason.Vivienne watched him go. She didn't cry. She looked like a woman who had spent six years protecting one

Everyone in that tunnel was looking at Marta, except the man she had named.Kenneth stood a few steps off with his raw, bloody hands hanging at his sides. His face had gone the color of ash."Kenneth?" Jason's voice was barely there. He was still kneeling beside Marta's body. "What did she mean?""Alpha, I...""She said 'him.' She looked right at you."Kenneth's mouth opened. Nothing came out. His hands closed into fists, and in the silence that followed, I heard Alaric draw a slow, careful breath beside me."Say it," Alaric said quietly. "Whatever it is, say it now. Not later."Kenneth dropped to his knees. He didn't look at Jason. He looked at me."Nine days before the attack, Marta came to find me," he said hoarsely. "She said you were pregnant, Cassandra. She said you hadn't told anyone, and she was afraid, because she'd seen strange men near the healer center. She wanted a guard on you. Quietly. Without the Alpha being told yet, because it wasn't her news to share."I stared at h

I tasted blood, and it wasn't his.At the last second, with my teeth already pressed against his skin, I had clamped down on my own tongue, hard enough that pain exploded white behind my eyes. The Hollow's voice sputtered like a candle in a gust. My canines slid back. I tore my head away and gasped."Cass!" Alaric's hands were on my face. "What did you do?""Bit myself." I spat red onto the stone. It hissed where it landed, and the nearest line of the ring flickered. "You said it was a lie. I believed you.""You stupid, brave..." His voice broke. He pulled my head against his chest, and I felt him shaking from head to foot. "I thought I'd lost you.""Not yet."Inside my skull, the Hollow made a soft, disgusted sound. "Coward," it whispered. "You will be hungrier tomorrow.""I'm here," Catherine said, and I almost sobbed at the sound of her. "I couldn't reach you until you hurt. I'm sorry. I'm here."The light had dimmed, just a little. The pulses came slower now, like a tired heart. M
