My Alpha Rejected Me Then Discovered I was Billionaire Luna CHAPTER Ninety two
Nora's POVI had stalled for three hours and twenty-six minutes.I'd argued with Venn over the clause of a contract that didn't exist. I'd demanded water for my mother, a blanket for my mother, a chair for my mother. I'd asked him, politely and repeatedly, to explain the old law of the seat, until even he began checking his watch. Every minute I bought was a minute for Cassian's convoy to cross the hills. Every minute also dragged the rising water higher behind that steel door.At eleven fifteen I heard the front door open, and I knew without turning who had walked in.I knew by the particular way the air changed. By the quiet, careful rhythm of his footsteps. By the small, answering click of the key in my own hand, because some part of me had been waiting for him all night.I turned the key.The lock gave with a deep, soft thunk, like a heart beginning to beat. The steel door swung inward, slow and heavy, and white light flooded the foyer, so bright that everyone flinched. When my ey

Kade's POVThe courtyard had gone silent. Nine alphas stood motionless beside their cars, and none of them looked at me. It was the sort of politeness you show a man who has just been struck."Say it again," I told my father."Not here, Kade.""Say it *here.*"He stopped three paces away, Helena's blanket still crushed in his fist. For the first time in my life, my father didn't look like an Alpha. He looked like an old man who had carried something heavy up too many stairs."Forty years ago," he began, "I was a young Beta with a bad temper and a worse reputation. Blackridge was nearly bankrupt. Half the council wanted to sell our southern ridge to the Ashworths, and I had no way to stop them." He swallowed. "A woman came to see me. Slim, dark-eyed, barely thirty. She said she represented a family who preferred not to be named. She offered to pay every debt Blackridge owed, in exchange for one promise.""Helena Voss," I said."Yes." His voice cracked on it. "She asked that Blackridge

Nora's POVNothing happened.I had expected thunder, or a surge of power, or a bell tolling somewhere deep in the earth. Instead the room stayed exactly as it was: the lamp, the wheelchair, the dark red wax on the document. A thin, lined woman crying silently into her cardigan."Mama." I took her face in both hands. "Look at me. It's not your fault.""I should have known." She shook her head. "Forty years I guarded those words, and he tricked me out of them in one breath.""He tricked us both." I wiped her cheeks with my thumbs. "Is it true? Is the seat really mine now?""It's yours." She drew a breath, and her whole body seemed to straighten. "It was always going to be yours, Nora. I just wanted you to have a few more ordinary years first."Behind us, Venn had settled into the armchair by the window and crossed one leg over the other, like a man at a lecture he'd given many times. The guard stood at the door with his arms folded. Neither of them looked worried.That should have frigh

Kade's POVI called the number back eleven times.Eleven rings, eleven stretches of silence, and on the twelfth a recorded voice informed me that the subscriber was unavailable. I stood in the corridor with my daughter on my shoulder and my phone crushed in my fist, and for the length of one full breath I couldn't remember how to move."Alpha." Torres's hand landed on my arm. "We have the route. Forty minutes north of the Whitlock farm, east entrance, Odette's guard rotations. We can be at Hollowgate before midnight.""Then we go now.""Kade, who keeps Helena?"I looked down at her. She had woken at some point during the call and was watching me with huge, solemn eyes, one damp fist wound into the collar of my shirt. She didn't cry. She never cried when she sensed something was wrong. She simply watched, absorbing everything, a trait she'd inherited from her mother."Margaret," I said. "And my father. They don't leave her side. Nobody enters that wing without both of them present.""D

Nora's POVI don't know how long I stood in that doorway.The woman in the wheelchair watched me with polite curiosity, the same look she gave to strangers on the street. My mother had never once looked at me like that. Not in the kitchen, not at the bus stop, not on the night she'd hugged me too tightly and told me to be brave."She doesn't know you," Venn said, almost kindly. "I'm sorry for that. It was necessary.""What did you do to her?""Kept her alive." He set the crystal glass on the bedside table. "Do you know how many people wanted Helena Voss dead? Vivian Ashworth wanted it most of all, and Vivian was patient. She waited until your mother had spent twenty years hiding. Then she set the fire." His pen tapped once against the table. "I was the one who pulled her from it, Luna. Not out of loyalty. Out of curiosity. A true Patron is worth more breathing than burned.""You kept her prisoner for years.""I kept her *medicated.* There's a distinction." He lifted a small paper cup
My Alpha Rejected Me Then Discovered I was Billionaire Luna CHAPTER Eighty Seven
Kade's POVI closed the door.Every instinct I owned screamed at me to cross the room and tear my daughter out of that woman's arm, but the rifle lay across Odette's knees with the safety off, and Helena's small head rested a handspan from its barrel. So I did the hardest thing I have ever done. I stood still."Good," Odette said. "Sit, Alpha.""I'll stand.""As you like." She resumed rocking. The chair creaked softly against the floorboards, a sound I had heard a thousand times and would hear in my nightmares for the rest of my life. "You've been quick. I expected another hour, at least. Damien must have been faster than Venn promised.""He's a clever one." She sighed. "It's a pity. I always liked clever children.""Odette." I kept my voice level. "Put the rifle down.""I'm not going to shoot her, Kade." She looked almost offended. "I've held that child since the night she was born. I taught her to say 'biscuit.' Do you honestly believe I would harm her?""You let a stranger into her
