My Alpha Buried the Wrong Luna CHAPTER 192: A DIFFERENT KIND OF INHERITANCE
NOAHI looked back toward the House, its windows glowing warm against the deepening evening, and let myself simply watch for a while before turning away from the memorial entirely.Children from different packs were playing together in the courtyard, their voices carrying faintly across the distance, mixing together in a way that made it genuinely impossible to tell, from where I stood, which family had arrived from which territory, which of them had once counted the others' parents among enemies only months earlier. Some of those children had lost parents during the fighting, I knew — grief that would follow them for years yet, however much the adults around them tried to soften its edges. Others had come from territories that had stood on opposite sides of the conflict entirely, families that might once have refused even to speak to one another across a shared border.They didn't seem to care about any of that, watching them now.They were simply children, chasing each other across
My Alpha Buried the Wrong Luna CHAPTER 191: THE WEIGHT SET DOWN
KAEL"That might be the first time I've ever heard you say that," I said. "You've had an answer ready for every question I've asked you since the day we met."She finally turned to face me, a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth, and slipped her hand into mine without further comment.We stood together like that for a while, neither of us feeling any particular need to fill the quiet with more words. We had survived betrayal that had cut deeper than either of us liked discussing even now. We had survived war, the kind that left permanent marks on everyone who lived through it regardless of which side they'd stood on. We had survived political division sharp enough to nearly tear apart everything we'd both worked to build, and the accumulated weight of histories that had shaped our world long before either of us had been born into it, inherited fears and assumptions neither of us had chosen but both of us had spent months trying to dismantle piece by careful piece.Now, standing in
My Alpha Buried the Wrong Luna CHAPTER 190: WHAT REMAINED TO BE BUILT
KAELRonan had already begun organizing the shared defense agreement between the packs by the time the ink on the larger document had fully dried, moving from the signing hall almost directly into a stack of correspondence he'd apparently been holding off on answering until the formal agreement was settled. It was still being tested in practice, every clause of it, and arguments over borders would certainly continue for months or years yet, old grievances not simply dissolving because a piece of parchment now governed how they'd be handled going forward. But something fundamental had shifted in how the warriors themselves were being trained. They were no longer taught, as a matter of course, to treat every neighboring territory as a potential enemy waiting for the right moment to strike. That single change, subtle as it might have seemed to anyone watching from outside, represented years of assumption finally being unwound.Cassian had returned to the council chamber almost immediatel

My Alpha Buried the Wrong Luna CHAPTER 188: THE NEW AGREEMENT
CASSIANI placed the final document in front of Kael, the ink still fresh where the last clause had been copied out by hand only an hour earlier, the parchment carrying that particular stiffness that comes before a document has been handled enough times to soften.Every other signature had already been added, each one placed carefully in the space designated for it, the names crowding closer together toward the bottom of the page than I'd originally anticipated when I first drafted the layout. Elara had signed for the sanctuary communities, her signature steady and unhurried, the same way she seemed to approach everything that mattered to her. Ronan had signed in support of the shared defense agreement he'd spent so many weeks building piece by careful piece between packs that had, not so long ago, counted each other among enemies. Noah had signed as well, though his signature carried a particular designation beneath it that I'd insisted on including at his own request — keeper of the
My Alpha Buried the Wrong Luna CHAPTER 187: THE NEW AGREEMENT
CASSIANElara spoke next, rising from her place near the far end of the table with the quiet, unhurried authority I'd come to recognize in her over these past difficult months."The sanctuary communities need protection too," she said, her voice carrying easily across the now-attentive room. "People who don't belong to powerful families, who have no army standing behind them and no bloodline claim anyone bothers to recognize, cannot become bargaining pieces every time two packs find themselves in disagreement. That's happened before, more than once, and this agreement needs to make certain it can't happen again simply because nobody thought to write the protection down clearly."She proposed an additional clause then, one she'd clearly thought through with considerable care — a formal protection for neutral communities and safe houses scattered across the territories, places built specifically to shelter people regardless of which pack they'd come from or which side of a dispute their
