My phone rang at 6 AM, just as I was checking out of the motel where I'd managed to get two hours of restless sleep.

"Marcus?"

"I found her."

My heart stopped. "Where?"

"Not where—how. I tracked down Alessa Mike. Turns out she's got a sister in Phoenix who runs a women's shelter. Anonymous referrals, no questions asked, completely off the grid."

Phoenix. A thousand miles away from Denver, from James, from the life that had nearly killed her.

"Are you sure?"

"As sure as I can be without actually seeing her. The timeline fits. Alessa made a call to her sister the same morning Lily disappeared from the hospital. Her sister confirmed she received a 'referral' but wouldn't give any details."

Relief flooded through me, so intense it made my knees weak. She was safe. Lily was safe.

"There's more," Marcus continued. "I looked into James's background like you asked. This guy is a piece of work, Ace. His financial records show payments to a fertility clinic in Chicago that d

  • Luna To Alpha Ace   Chapter 69: Ace

    The morning sun felt like a miracle on my skin as I walked out of the medical wing for the first time in over a week. Every step reminded me how close I'd come to never taking another one. "Careful," Lily said, her arm wrapped around my waist like she was afraid I might collapse at any moment. "I'm fine, princess." "You're not fine. You died and came back to life three days ago." I stopped walking and turned to face her. "I didn't die." "Your heart stopped twice during the first night. I heard the monitors." The pain in her voice made my chest ache. I'd been unconscious for most of my recovery, but she'd lived through every terrifying moment. "I'm sorry," I said, cupping her face. "I'm sorry you had to go through that." "Don't apologize for surviving." "I'm apologizing for putting you through hell." She leaned into my touch, her eyes closing. "You're here now. That's all that matters." But I could see the shadows under her eyes, the way her hands shook slightly w

    "Lily." The voice was so faint I almost missed it. A whisper that cut through the fog of exhaustion and grief that had become my world. I pulled back from Helen's embrace, my heart stuttering. "Lily." There it was again. Stronger this time. I turned toward the bed, and my world tilted off its axis. Ace's eyes were open. Those beautiful eyes that had haunted my dreams for the past week stared directly at me. "Oh my God." The words came out as a strangled sob. I stumbled toward the bed, my legs shaking so badly I nearly collapsed. My hands found his face, trembling fingers tracing the familiar lines of his cheekbones. "You're awake," I whispered, hardly daring to believe it. "You're awake." His lips curved into the faintest smile. "Hey, beautiful." That's when I completely fell apart. The tears came in violent waves, seven days of terror and grief and desperation pouring out of me all at once. I pressed my face against his chest, sobbing so hard I could barely br

    One week.Seven days of watching Ace lie motionless in that hospital bed. Seven days of praying to a Moon Goddess who seemed to have forgotten I existed.The doctor's words echoed in my mind like a broken record: *"Only a miracle can save him now."*I curled up next to Ace on the narrow hospital bed, my face pressed against his shoulder. His skin was cold, still gray. The machine kept beeping their a steady rhythm, but it felt like a countdown to goodbye."Why?" I whispered into his shirt. "Why does everyone leave me?"First my parents. Then James destroyed me. I lost my baby. Now Ace was slipping away, and I couldn't do anything to stop it."Maybe I'm cursed," I said, my voice cracking. "Maybe I'm not meant to be happy."The thought hit me like a physical blow. What if this was my punishment for surviving when others didn't? What if love was something I'd never be allowed to keep?I lifted my head to look at his face. Still peaceful, still beautiful. Still gone."Please don't leave

    I was halfway to the car when the bond went completely silent.Not strained. Not distant. Gone.I hit the ground hard, my knees giving out. The absence of Ace's presence was like having my heart ripped from my chest."Lily!" Eva caught me before I could fall completely. "What's wrong?""He's gone." The words came out as a whisper. "I can't feel him anymore.""That doesn't mean—""Yes, it does." I looked up at her, tears streaming down my face. "The only way a mate bond goes silent is if..." I couldn't finish the sentence."No." Eva's voice was fierce. "No, he's not dead. He can't be."But I knew. Deep in my bones, I knew something terrible had happened."We have to go," I said, struggling to stand. "We have to go now.""Lily, if he's..." Eva's voice broke. "If something happened, it's not safe.""I don't care about safe!" I screamed. "He's my mate! He's my everything!"The silence where our bond used to be was deafening. I pressed my hand to my chest, but there was nothing—just empti

    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.
