Brie's POV

The courtyard air is sharp and it cuts right through the thin white wool of my dress. I don’t move. The cold is the only thing that feels honest right now, and I am not ready to go back inside. I wrap my arms tight around my ribs and keep walking.

Counting keeps the chest pain away. I count my steps across the courtyard. One, two, three, four... If I stop counting, I will thi

  • Loving His Sigma Mate   Chapter 114 - Loyalty

    Alpha Dexter’s POVI let the second course settle before I stand to address my guests.The scrape of my chair cuts through the low murmur of every conversation. Crystal and silver fall silent. Every pair of eyes at the long table turns toward the head.I rest one hand on the table and look down the length of the room.My voice carries without effort.“Alphas. Betas. Honored guests.”The room settles.“It is my honor to host this year’s Alpha Summit. Every year, packs from across the country gather under one roof to discuss the matters that shape our future. The borders, our trade, security, resources, and mutual protection. The preservation of our traditions.”I pause.“But beneath all those discussions lies something far more important.” I slowly lift my glass. “Loyalty.”The room quiets again.“Loyalty is what allows an alliance to survive after the handshakes are finished and the wine has been emptied. It is what keeps a neighboring pack from becoming an enemy. It is what makes a B

  • Loving His Sigma Mate   Chapter 113 - The Price of Refusal

    Alpha Dexter’s POVThe Great Hall of Snowdon is a goddamn cathedral of power, and I’ve built every inch of it to remind every other Alpha who walks through those doors exactly where they stand.Crystal chandeliers blaze overhead, throwing light across the long oak table polished to a mirror shine.Servers in black move like ghosts, pouring vintage wine that costs more than most of these packs see in a year.The air is thick with the scent of roasted pork, rare steaks, and the sharp metallic undercurrent of dominant wolves sizing each other up.I stand at the head of the table, shoulders squared, the weight of the Snowdon crest heavy on my chest.This is my stage. These are my pieces.

  • Loving His Sigma Mate   Chapter 112 - Checkmate

    Damien’s POVThe stone corridors of the Snowdon estate blur past me like gray streaks of malice.Every step feels like walking over live coals.Voss is clawing at the walls of my mind, desperate to tear free, howling a relentless, bloody chorus of ‘she’s mine, tear them apart, rip their throats out.’I swallow the iron taste of rage rising in the back of my throat, but it doesn’t help. Her eyes found mine across the entrance hall hours ago, and I gave her the smallest nod. It’s still eating at me, the promise I made a week ago. Claws in.She’s terrified and hiding it behind that brittle, untouchable armor of hers, but I know her better than anyone.I can feel t

  • Loving His Sigma Mate   Chapter 111 - On Display

    Brie’s POVSeven days of names, ranks and grievances.Every morning I sit across from Elder Marcus in a west wing meeting room that smells of old paper and cold ash, and every morning he lays out the packs like pieces on a board. Who owes whom. Who lost a son at whose border. Which Alpha will take offense if his wine is poured after his rival’s.He never once uses my name.Damien keeps his claws in. He walks me to the west wing door each morning and waits at the end of the corridor when the lesson ends, jaw tight, saying nothing. The splintered doorframe in our room stays splintered. He won’t allow anyone in to fix it.The nausea doesn’t ease. The cramps come and go.Jackling ba

  • Loving His Sigma Mate   Chapter 110 - Claws In

    Brie’s POVHis thumbs press into the backs of my hands, warm and steady, and I can’t make the lie come.Not with his scent wrapped around me. Not with his green eyes searching my face like he’s counting every crack.“He called me in,” I whisper. “This morning. Elder Marcus came with the Alpha seal, and the guard let him through.”Damien goes very still.“Who was there?”“Alpha Dexter, Elder Marcus, Hale and Vance. Two guards were at the door.”“Did he touch you?” His tone is low, a near growl.I have to remind myself his anger isn&rsqu

  • Loving His Sigma Mate   Chapter 109 - Silent Witnesses

    Brie's POVMorning light cuts through the heavy silk drapes, exposing dust dancing in the cold air.Damien is already gone. I can feel the faint, restless echo of his wolf thrumming somewhere out near the eastern border. He’s patrolling, burning off the fury he swallowed last night.He thinks he can protect me by pacing the perimeter and snarling at the shadows. He knows exactly what his father is. What he doesn’t know is that Dexter has stopped aiming at him. Now he aims through me, and Moon Goddess help me, I pray Damien never finds out.A sharp, authoritative knock rattles the door.My stomach plummets. I don’t need to ask who it is.Outside, the guard hesitates, then steps aside.
