  • Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim   Chapter One Hundred Eight: Beneath Blackwater

    Elena had expected Damien to argue when Roland announced that she would be part of the team entering the service tunnel, but he surprised her by remaining silent. She glanced at him twice while Roland explained the plan, waiting for the inevitable objection that never came. By the time they finished reviewing the old building plans, Elena couldn’t decide whether she was relieved or slightly offended that Damien seemed perfectly willing to let her crawl beneath Blackwater into a building full of corrupted wolves.“You’re staring at me,” he said as they left the library.“I’m waiting.”“For what?”“For you to tell me I’m not going.”Damien stopped in the hallway. “Would it work?”“No.”“Then I’m growing as a person.”Elena laughed. “I’m proud of you.”“Don’t be. I’m going with you.”There it was. The team would be small. Elena, Damien, Ryan, Gail, Micah, and two of Roland’s most experienced guards would enter through the service tunnel shortly after midnight. Roland would remain with th

  • Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim   Chapter One Hundred Seven: Find the Lie

    The drive back to the manor gave Elena far too much time to think about Ethan Lawson. She sat beside Damien with Rebecca’s flyer open across her lap, studying the photograph as though she might find some clue in the face of the young man who had disappeared four years earlier. The Ethan in the photograph looked happy and carefree, but Ryan had described someone who seemed equally comfortable walking through Blackwater. Elena couldn’t decide which possibility frightened her more: that Peter had buried Ethan beneath years of corruption, or that some part of him genuinely believed he belonged there.“You’re going to wear a hole through that paper,” Damien said.Elena carefully folded the flyer. “I’m trying to understand him.”“You haven’t even met him.”“That’s the problem.”Damien reached over and took her hand. “Then we’ll learn more before we go back.”Elena nodded, although patience remained one of the skills she hadn’t mastered. They knew Rebecca was somewhere inside Blackwater, and

  • Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim   Chapter One Hundred Six: Behind the Door

    Elena stared at Ethan’s name scratched into the metal door until the letters blurred on Micah’s screen. Rebecca had spent four years carrying her son’s photograph everywhere she went, refusing to give up even when everyone around her had probably told her there was nothing left to find. Now Elena finally had an answer for her, but it wasn’t one she could share yet. Finding Ethan inside Blackwater was only the beginning. They still had no idea what Peter had done to him or whether the man behind that door would even recognize the mother who had spent years searching for him.“Can Ryan get to him?” Elena asked.Micah shook his head. “Not without blowing the entire operation. He’s still with the delivery team, and there are guards at both ends of that corridor.”“Then he stays where he is,” Roland said firmly. “We didn’t send him inside to rescue anyone today. We sent him to learn what we’re dealing with.”Elena knew he was right, but accepting it was considerably harder when Ethan was f

  • Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim   Chapter One Hundred Five: The Way Inside

    Elena stared at the map of Blackwater while everyone around her argued about how to get inside. Micah’s surveillance team had continued feeding them information throughout the night. Twenty-three wolves had been confirmed outside the buildings, although no one believed that represented the full number living on the property. At least twelve humans were being held inside the main repair facility. Three additional vehicles had arrived after midnight, and shortly before dawn, a fishing boat entered the channel and docked without displaying any identifying lights.Blackwater wasn’t an abandoned shipyard Peter had quietly occupied. It was a functioning compound.“We could overwhelm them,” one of Roland’s senior captains said. “If Micah is seeing twenty or thirty wolves, we take sixty.”“And when Peter orders those twenty or thirty wolves to kill the hostages?” Elena asked.The captain’s jaw tightened. “We move quickly.”“Not quickly enough.”Elena didn’t mean to sound harsh, but she couldn

  • Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim   Chapter One Hundred Four: What Peter Wants

    By the time Elena finished calling every name on the list, nine families had answered, but eight had not. That number sat heavily with everyone gathered in the library. Some of the missing families lived hours apart. A few belonged to different packs, and two had no formal pack affiliation at all. The only obvious connection between them was the one Elena couldn’t ignore: Every one of them had come to Eldermoon looking for someone Peter had taken.Micah remained on speakerphone from his position near Blackwater while Roland assigned guards to verify the homes of the eight families who hadn’t answered. No one was willing to assume the worst yet. Phones died. People slept. Some of the families had driven considerable distances to reach the manor and might still be traveling.Elena knew all of that. She didn’t believe any of it.“Rebecca’s van proves at least one of them is connected to Blackwater,” she said. “We can’t wait until morning.”“We aren’t,” Roland assured her. “But we’re also

    By morning, Roland had gathered more information about Blackwater than Elena expected. Unfortunately, it was considerably less than she wanted.The shipyard sat nearly three hours from the manor on a narrow coastal channel surrounded by marshland. Blackwater Coastal Holdings had purchased the property six years earlier for an amount low enough to suggest someone had simply wanted to unload it. The company had paid the taxes faithfully for two years, then dissolved without explanation and apparently abandoned the property. No utilities were currently registered to the address, no business licenses had been issued since the sale, and according to every public record Micah could find, no one had set foot there in years.Elena didn’t believe that for a second. Neither did Roland.“We watch it first,” he said when the council gathered after breakfast. “No one enters the property.”Elena folded her arms. “I feel like you’re looking directly at me when you say that.”“I am.”Ryan laughed fro

    Damien and Elena sat in comfortable silence on the ride to Gail’s house. The light from the dashboard gently lit his features, allowing Elena to steal glances at his chiseled jawline. She reached over and placed a hand on his leg to bridge the small gap between them. It seemed like any space was to

    Since Elena had the day off, Damien invited her to the manor. She chose a flowery summer dress with thin straps and a pale yellow fabric base. The outfit was completed with strappy brown leather sandals. Elena bounced down the stairs, excited to see her mate.“Bye, Gail! I’ll see you tonight!” She

    Elena woke with a start. It took her a few minutes to center herself and remember where she was. Her dreams with her mom were so real. Well, in a way they were kind of real. She wasn’t technically dreaming. What did her mom call it? The in-between?The morning light was creeping through the sheer c

    Elena gasped, her head snapping back upright. She locked eyes with Esther. "My power is apparently twisted visions," she said, breathing heavily."Do tell," Esther said, leaning on the counter. Elena, trusting in her gut that this woman was who she said she was, dove into the story of all that had
