Zoe's law office is downtown, in one of those old brick buildings that make you feel like you're stepping back in time. I've always loved coming here, loved the way the afternoon light filters through the tall windows and makes everything feel safe and civilized.

Today, though, I can barely sit still in the leather chair across from her desk.

"Lily, you look exhausted. How's the morning sickness?"

"That's not why I'm here," I say without preamble. "I need your help. Something's wrong with James."

Zoe leans forward, instantly alert. She's been my best friend since college, and she knows me well enough to recognize when I'm serious. "Besides what we already know?"

"It's more than that," I tell her. "I found financial records showing massive payments to a fertility clinic in Chicago. A clinic that claims they've never heard of James."

Zoe's eyebrows shoot up. "How much money are we talking about?"

"Fifty thousand dollars. Plus smaller payments over the past year."

  • Luna To Alpha Ace   Chapter 65: Ace

    The highway stretched endlessly ahead, but my mind was already at Morrison's territory. Marcus sat shotgun, his knuckles white as he gripped the door handle. Behind us, three SUVs carried my most trusted warriors."You sure about this?" Marcus asked for the third time."It's a trap." I kept my eyes on the road. "I've known since the moment Kayla called.""Then why the hell are we driving straight into it?""Because sometimes the only way out is through."My phone buzzed. A text from one of the neighboring Alphas: *In position. Waiting for your signal.*Good. The pieces were falling into place."Ace." Marcus's voice was strained. "If this goes sideways—""It won't.""You don't know that.""I know Morrison. He's arrogant. He'll want to face me himself, prove his dominance." I flexed my fingers on the steering wheel. "That's when we strike."The mate bond hummed steadily in my chest. Lily was safe, probably driving Eva crazy with worry. I'd left one of my most trusted pack members, Derek

    The house felt too quiet without Ace. I stood at the window watching his car disappear down the driveway, my heart hammering against my ribs. The mate bond stretched between us like a rubber band, and with every mile he traveled, it pulled tighter. *He'll be fine,* I told myself. *He's strong. He's smart. He'll come back.* But my hands were shaking as I turned away from the window. The pack house buzzed with activity around me, but I felt like I was watching it all through glass. Pack members moved through their morning routines, completely unaware that their Alpha had just driven into what might be a trap. I needed to do something—anything to keep my mind occupied. "Luna?" A soft voice made me turn. Maya, one of the younger pack members, stood hesitantly in the doorway. "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." The lie tasted bitter. "Just... thinking." "Alpha Ace will be back soon." News traveled fast in a pack. Of course, everyone knew he'd left. "I know." I forced a smile.

    Lily's warm weight on my chest was the only thing keeping me grounded. Her breathing was soft, and her hair spilled across my skin like silk. She'd been sleeping in my room every night since the marking, and I still couldn't get used to waking up with her there. It felt too good to be real. My phone buzzed on the nightstand, the vibration cutting through the peaceful silence. I reached for it carefully, trying not to wake her, but the movement made her stir. "Sorry, baby," I whispered, settling back against the pillows with my arm around her. The caller ID made my jaw clench. Elder Edward. This couldn't be good. "Alpha Ace." His voice was formal, distant. "I hope I'm not calling too early." "What do you want, Edward?" Lily lifted her head slightly, her eyes still heavy with sleep. I ran my fingers through her hair, silently telling her to stay put. "The Council has decided on the Alpha King position." My blood turned to ice. "Have they?" "We're throwing our suppo

    LILY The morning sun filtered through the kitchen windows as I stood at the stove, wearing only Ace's oversized t-shirt. The fabric hung to my mid-thigh, soft and warm against my skin, carrying his scent like a security blanket. Everything had been perfect since the marking ceremony days ago. Too perfect, maybe. I flipped the pancakes, ignoring the nagging feeling in my chest. This peace we'd found—it felt borrowed. Like the universe was holding its breath, waiting for the other shoe to drop. But why couldn't I just enjoy it? Why couldn't I let myself have this happiness without constantly looking over my shoulder? The bond hummed between Ace and me, stronger than ever. I could feel him approaching before his footsteps reached the kitchen. "Morning, beautiful," his voice was rough with sleep as his arms slid around my waist from behind. "Morning," I leaned back against his chest, savoring the solid warmth of him. His hands splayed across my stomach, fingers tracing l

    ACE The moment I saw her, I forgot how to breathe. Lily stood in front of the mirror, and she was absolutely radiant. Eva had chosen a simple but elegant dress, deep emerald green that brought out her eyes and hugged her curves in all the right places. Her hair fell in soft waves around her shoulders, and the mark on her neck was visible, proclaiming to everyone exactly who she belonged to. Mine. *Ours,* Lucas corrected possessively. *Look at her. She's perfect.* She was. She was everything I'd ever dreamed of and more. I moved behind her, unable to resist the pull any longer. My arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her back against my chest. The bond hummed with satisfaction at the contact. "You look beautiful, baby," I murmured against her ear before pressing a kiss to her neck, right over the mark. She shivered in my arms, and I felt her response through the bond—heat, want, love. The same emotions that were coursing through me. She turned in my arms, her smil

    Gentle fingers traced across my cheek, pulling me from sleep. For a moment, I panicked, James used to wake me like this when he wanted something. Then I remembered. James was gone. I was safe. I was mated. I opened my eyes to find a familiar face smiling down at me. Eva, Ace's sister, was perched on the edge of the bed with barely contained excitement. "Hi, sister-in-law," she said, her grin wide enough to split her face. Sister-in-law. The words hit me like a warm hug. "Eva?" I sat up slowly, still disoriented from sleep. "What time is it?" "Late morning. Ace finally marked you!" She bounced slightly on the mattress. "I am so excited. I've been waiting for this day forever." Heat flooded my cheeks as I touched my collarbone. The mark was still tender, a reminder of everything that had happened last night. "Where's Ace?" "Dealing with the pack business. He'll be back soon." Eva's expression grew serious for a moment. "How are you feeling? The first day after markin
