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
Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim Chapter One Hundred Three: The Missing Families
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
Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim Chapter One Hundred Two: Blackwater
Roland immediately turned toward Micah. “Find out whether any unusual commercial properties along the coast have changed ownership in the last several years. I want warehouses, marinas, abandoned processing facilities, private docks, anything large enough to hide activity.”Micah nodded and left the room with two of the guards. Elena felt the first real spark of excitement she’d experienced in days. They weren’t waiting for Peter to make another move. They were following him.Ryan seemed to feel it too. He leaned over the map again and began eliminating areas that wouldn’t meet Peter’s needs. “He’d want distance from major roads, but not too much. Supplies still have to get in. Deep water would be useful if he’s moving anything by boat, and he’d need enough land surrounding the property to detect anyone approaching.”Gail looked toward him. “You sound like you’
Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim Chapter One Hundred One: Following the Trail
For several seconds, no one seemed to know what to do with Elena’s revelation. Damien still had one hand wrapped around her arm to steady her, while Gail remained focused on evaluating the wards. Roland was the first to recover and immediately shifted his attention from the manor to the dark woods surrounding the estate.“How certain are you?” he asked.Elena closed her eyes and tried to remember the brief connection without reaching for it again. The sensation of Peter’s presence had overwhelmed almost everything else, but beneath the corruption there had been something unmistakable. She had spent enough time near the ocean to recognize the damp heaviness of salt air.“I’m certain I smelled salt water. It wasn’t just the ocean, though. There was something else mixed with it.” Elena struggled to find the right words as the memory began to fade. “Rotting wood, maybe? Something old and wet.”Ryan’s expression immediately sharpened. “Marshland.”Elena looked toward him. “Maybe.”“If Pete
Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim Chapter Thirty: The Lost Fragments
The library was quiet, so quiet, it was almost unsettling. Elena heard every page turn from every corner. There were only a handful of wolves in the room, but she could easily tell where each one was located by how easily the sound of their breathing carried in the silence. Gail turned a page, dra

Sitting in silence, Elena studied Ryan's calm demeanor. She didn't know what she had expected, but it certainly wasn't this creature sitting before her, lost deep in self-reflection. She searched his face for any hint of what he had alluded to....my Alpha wasn't the only one who died...What did t

After that revelation, Elena desperately needed some air. The library was massive by any standards, but at that moment, it felt like it was closing in on her. She excused herself to take a quick walk through the gardens. It's a lot to unpack, isn't it? She asked Lyra. Oddly, her wolf didn't answer

Elena looked around her as she realized everyone was staring. She knew what an Alpha Command was because she had seen Roland use it on his pack. How could she have possibly commanded someone—especially someone who had taken an oath to follow another?Kevin remained frozen, but a look of embarrassme
