Marked By My Enemy Alpha Chapter 24
AnnaliseSomeone was in my room again.I held my breath in the doorway, with my heart pounding before I caught the scent properly and realized it wasn’t a threat at all.“Ava?”She spun around so fast she nearly knocked over the water basin, hand pressed flat against her chest like I had scared a decade off her life. “You weren’t supposed to be back yet.”“It’s my room.” I stepped inside slowly and closed the door behind me. “What are you doing here?”“I brought you this.” She held out a small bundle of clean linens, hands shaking slightly. “Melissa asked me to. Said your bedding hadn’t been changed since well...Since everything got destroyed.”I studied her carefully. Ava didn’t run errands for anyone unless she absolutely had to, and she definitely didn’t linger in rooms afterward looking like she might be sick.“That’s not why you’re still standing here,” I said.Her eyes darted to the door, then back to me, her face cracked the same way it had the day she’d told me to be careful a

HunterI found Camille exactly where I expected her to be, in her private quarters, composed and unbothered, as if the entire pack house hadn’t just watched their Alpha walk through the halls with murder in his eyes.“You’re angry,” she observed, not looking up from whatever needlework occupied her hands.“Someone destroyed Annalise’s belongings today,” I said, keeping my voice level through sheer force of will. “Everything she had left of her family. Shredded and Broken.”“How terrible.” Still not looking up. “Silvercrest can be a dangerous place for someone unfamiliar with our customs. Perhaps she should have been more careful about where she left her things.”“You did this.”“I’ve been in council with my father’s steward all afternoon,” she said smoothly. “You can ask anyone. I haven’t been near the omega quarters since this morning.”“You didn’t need to be there yourself. You have plenty of hands willing to do your bidding.”Camille finally set down her needlework and met my eyes

AnnaliseHunter came back from Camille’s room with a dark cloud hovering over his face and his jaw was set so tight I didn’t push for the full story that night. He said she’d deflected, thrown out vague talk of old promises meant to rattle him, nothing solid. I believed the second part more than the first. I had seen his face. Something had rattled him plenty.“Corwin,” was all he said, staring at nothing. “I need to speak with Corwin.”“Tonight?” I asked.“Tomorrow.” He shook himself, focus snapping back to me like a physical thing. “Tonight I need to know you’re safe.”I was safe. I told him so. He didn’t look like he believed that either, but exhaustion won out over the urge to argue. We both fell into uneasy sleep with too many unanswered questions crowded into the space between us.Morning came the way it always did, indifferent to whatever had happened the previous night. Melissa was under Rosalind’s care, stitched and resting, under strict orders not to move for two days. Which

HunterI reached the kitchen before Annalise did, my wolf surging hard beneath my skin at the scent hitting me the moment I crossed the threshold,fresh blood,that made every instinct in me scream danger.Melissa lay crumpled against the wash basin, a gash along her forearm bleeding steadily, her face pale and sweat-slicked.“What happened,” I demanded, dropping to my knees beside her.“Knife slipped,” she said, though her voice came out thin, unconvincing. “I’m fine, Alpha, it’s nothing—”“That’s not nothing.” I caught her wrist gently, examining the wound, and felt something cold settle in my chest at the angle of the cut, too clean, too deliberate for an accident. “This wasn’t a slip.”Annalise arrived behind me, breathless, and I watched her face go through the same recognition mine had, horror giving way to fury.“Someone did this to her,” Annalise said.“I don’t know who,” Melissa said quickly, too quickly, her eyes darting toward the door.“Melissa.” Annalise knelt beside her, t

AnnaliseWe rode back to Silvercrest in silence, I didn't talk about the note concerning the previous mate because there wasn’t one now, not in this version atleast, just the raw ache of everything the battle had cost, and the strange, unfamiliar comfort of Hunter riding close enough that our horses’ shoulders nearly touched the entire way home.I didn’t know what to call what had happened at Cresthaven. Fighting beside him instead of against him. Watching him bleed for a pack that hated him. Something had shifted, and I hated that I couldn’t name it, hated more that some part of me didn’t want to.“You’re quiet,” Hunter said.“I’m tired.”“That’s not the same thing.”I glanced at him, blood still dried dark along his jaw, exhaustion carved into every line of his face, and found myself, treacherously, wanting to reach over and wipe it clean. “What do you want me to say.”“Nothing,” he said. “I just don’t like it. The quiet.”“You’ll survive.”The corner of his mouth twitched, almost a

AnnaliseAiden fought like a man who had nothing left to lose, blood trickling down his temple, his movements ragged from exhaustion, but he was still on his feet when I reached him, still battling, and a wave of relief washed over me so intensely that I nearly collapsed.“Aiden!”He turned at the sound of my voice, his eyes wide with disbelief for a fleeting, dangerous moment before an attacker lunged at his exposed side. Without thinking, I threw myself in front of him, taking the blow meant for my brother across my forearm instead of my ribs.The pain shot through me, bright and sharp, but I refused to let it slow me down. I had learned enough at Silvercrest over the past few weeks to hold my own, and I drove my elbow back into the attacker’s throat with enough force to send him reeling.“You shouldn’t be here,” Aiden shouted over the clash of steel, already moving to cover my back just like we had practiced as kids, some old instinct kicking in despite everything that had come betw
