Married To My Enemy's Pack CHAPTER 69: WHAT CASSIUS ASKED OF ME
When I arrived, I met Cassius waiting in his private study, with the door already open, and no guards stationed outside the way there usually were. His composure was intact, as it always was, though something behind his eyes sat heavier than I had ever seen from him before."Close the door," he said quietly.And I did, with my heart pounding, unsure of what to expect after everything Ryder had refused to explain on the way here."Sit, please," he said.So I sat across from him, waiting, and for a long moment he said nothing at all, choosing his words with the same careful precision he usually brought to every council session."I am not going to tell you what you want to hear," he finally said. "And I want to be clear about that before I say anything else. I do not have proof of anything. But I have a suspicion, both old and unresolved, that I have carried far too long.""Then why did you call me here?" I asked."Because of what I saw in the garden this morning," he said. "The symbol,
Married To My Enemy's Pack CHAPTER 68: WHAT NOBODY WOULD SAY
Not long after the garden carving was found, Cassius arrived after being summoned from wherever he had been that morning, and the moment he saw it, something in his composed expression tightened, like old fear surfacing plainly and unguarded for just a heartbeat before he smoothed it carefully away again."You recognize this," I said quietly, watching him."I have seen symbols like it," he said, too fast and too practiced. "Though it is not uncommon among old bloodlines, it could mean any number of things.""But that is not what your face said a moment ago.""You should be careful," he said, his voice sharpening, "about deciding what an old man's face means before he has explained it himself."Then he turned to Damian instead, closing the subject as firmly as shutting a door. "Double the perimeter watch, and I want a full report on every hire this household has made in the last year, both staff and contractors.""Father," Damian's voice carried an edge of frustration. "If you know som
Married To My Enemy's Pack CHAPTER 67: CARVED WHILE WE SLEPT
I opened the door to find Ryder already dressed, with tension written plainly all over his face, and I did not bother asking questions before following him downstairs through the quiet halls toward the east side of the estate."What happened?" I finally asked, once we were far enough away from Kayla's room, making sure that she could not overhear us."A guard found something during the early rotation," Ryder said. "Near the garden wall, and I want you to see it before word spreads out through the household."We arrived at the garden as the sun was still climbing, pale light stretching long shadows across the grass, and Ryder led me toward the far wall where two guards stood watch over something on the ground.Turned out to be the same symbol which I had come to dread, carved into the soft earth, deep enough that no wind or rain had disturbed it overnight, with a crescent moon wrapped in thorned vines, and this one is larger than any of the ones I had seen before, easily three feet acr
Married To My Enemy's Pack CHAPTER 66: WHAT SHE STILL CARRIES
Three nights later, I found myself back in the small, dusty study, in the same one where I had first found the shipping ledger, being unable to stay away any longer despite everything else pressing on my mind.This time, the house was fully asleep, with no footsteps in the hall, and there was no careful voice catching me at the door.I checked through what remained of the shelves methodically, my hands steadier now than they had been the first time I had done this. It took me months of practice to get exactly what to look for and what to ignore.That night, I found nothing new. And eventually, I sat back on my heels, frustrated, and let myself think, really thinking, about everything that had brought me to this exact spot.Silver Moon, A pack burned to nothing eighteen years ago. A shipping consignment that left Kingston territory two nights before the fire. A Kingston name on an old Ashwood guest list from the same week.Though none of it was proof, not on its own, but stacked togeth
Married To My Enemy's Pack CHAPTER 65: WHAT THE MOONLIGHT WOKE
I gripped Damian's hand tightly without meaning to, as the stirring in my chest started growing stronger with every second as the moon climbed higher, my whole body suddenly humming with something I had no name for."You're trembling," Damian said, quietly close to my ear. "If it is too much? We can go back in.""No, I don't want to go," I whispered. "I feel like something is happening to me which I do not understand."Then I looked around us and saw that pack members were beginning to shift, with their clothes discarding quickly and without ceremony, wolves of every color bounding toward the open stretch of rooftop set aside for running, laughter and howls mixing altogether in the warm night air.Kayla stood beside me, watching with open wonder, and Kade had already stripped down and shifted into a sandy colored wolf, nudging playfully at Xavier's leg before he could finish removing his jacket.I did not notice the light on my body at first. It was Damian's sharp intake of breath th
Married To My Enemy's Pack CHAPTER 64: THE NIGHT BEFORE
On the night before the ritual, Damian found me at the balcony outside, staring out at the city lights, my thoughts still tangled from everything Kayla and Nora had told me about tomorrow."You're not sleeping again," he said, joining me at the railing."Just thinking," I replied, wrapping my arms around myself against the cooling air. "I've never done anything like this before, and I don't want to embarrass myself in front of your whole pack.""You won't," He said, studying the skyline rather than me, and giving me space to talk without feeling the weight of his eyes on my face."Because nobody is watching to judge you, Helena. It's not that kind of night.""Then, what kind of night is it? For you," I asked.And something eased in his shoulders at the question, unguarded in a way I rarely saw from him. "It's the one night where I don't have to be the Alpha first," he said. "Just pack, I stand under that moon and for a few hours, nobody expects anything from me except to be present."
