Moonlit ice, A wolf's fated mate Chapter eighty Nine
ROMAN POV"SEREN doesn't know all of it. Only what our mother told her. But what our mother believed was that my father has been for a very long time looking for something. A specific kind of power. One that doesn't exist in wolves. That's never existed in wolves, in any form that anyone has seen." I pause. "Until now.""Until me," she says flatly."Until you."She's quiet for a moment. I don't fill it."So everything," she says. "Being taken before. The pack. INDIA. He wasn't just tightening the net around me because I'm your mate.""No.""He was tightening it because I'm what? A weapon he wants to use?""I don't think he sees it as a weapon. I think he sees it as a key." I cross the room and sit beside her, because I can't stand there looking at her from across the room for this next part. "SEREN said our mother believed that what you can do the healing, whatever else might still be there that hasn't shown itself yet it's tied to something old. Something that existed before the

ROMAN POVMiss TILLY is standing on the front step of the townhouse when we pull up, and she's got that look on her face the one she gets when she already knows everything and has been running through it in her head the whole time we were gone. Both hands wrapped around a mug. Eyes tracking each of us as we climb out of the cars.Her gaze lands on SEREN and stays there."My goodness," she says, so quietly it's almost to herself. Then, louder: "Well. Come inside, all of you, before the neighbors think something's happened."Something has happened. Several somethings. But I don't say that.SEREN stops at the base of the steps and looks up at the townhouse the way people do when they're memorizing something in case they have to leave it suddenly. Old habit. I recognize it because I had it once too, a very long time ago."It's warm inside," I tell her. "And MATILDA makes enough food for twelve even when she's only expecting six, so whatever you haven't eaten today, you'll eat now."SEREN

LEERA POVSLATE is already on the phone when I find him leaning against the side of the cabin, laptop open on the hood of the rental, fingers moving before I've even said a word."Plane's being fueled," he says without looking up. "We leave in forty.""You heard already?""BENNY told me." He finally glances at me over the top of the screen. "You okay?""I don't know yet." I lean against the car beside him and tip my head back. The sky is doing that thing it does in late afternoon, going all gold and bruised at the edges. It would be pretty if it weren't for the smoke still threading through it from the ruins of the pack. "I will be."He nods and goes back to his screen. That's one of the things I've come to understand about SLATE. He doesn't push. He just stays."Thank you," I say. "For being on it before I even asked."He makes a small noise. Not quite a word. But I've learned that from him too that sometimes his sounds mean more than other people's sentences.I push off the car and

ROMAN POVThe look on her face tells me that she wasn't expecting that, and it hits me somewhere raw that my sister my sister would brace for my anger before my acceptance."What changed?" LEERA asks from beside me, because she always asks the questions I need asked. "Why come out now? Why here?"SEREN's gaze slides to LEERA, and something in it softens in a way that's interesting."Because of you," she says.LEERA blinks. "Me.""You showing up changed everything. The moment the realms started talking about ROMAN finding his mate his real mate it meant the timeline was moving. It meant he was going to start gathering power. Which means his father would start moving faster, and that meant hiding wasn't going to keep me safe anymore." She says it plainly, without drama, without blame. "I didn't plan to get caught in the cellar. I just hadn't figured out yet how to find you without leading him straight to us.""Him," I say. "You mean my father.""He's the one who sent whoever did thi
Moonlit ice, A wolf's fated mate Chapter eighty four
ROMAN POVThe word lands like a blade between my ribs.Sister.Nobody moves. Nobody breathes. Even the smoldering ruins around us seem to go quiet, like the world understood it needed to hold still for a second.I stare at her. Dark hair, almost black in the shade but warm brown where the sun cuts through it. Those eyes God, those eyes. I haven't seen eyes that color since I was barely a century old. Green like the forest in early spring, bright and a little too knowing for someone standing in the wreckage of a massacre.My mother's eyes."That's not possible," I say, and I hate that my voice comes out flat, because flat is the only thing keeping it from shaking. "My mother had one child. Me."She doesn't argue. She doesn't crumble under my alpha energy the way she should, which tells me plenty on its own."I know what you were told," she says quietly."ROMAN." LEERA steps close enough to touch my arm, and the warmth of her hand through my sleeve does something to steady me. "What's
