My Alpha Rejected Me Then Discovered I was Billionaire Luna CHAPTER Eighty one
Kade's POVNobody in that study said a word for a long moment. Helena, oblivious, turned the little thorned coin over in her fingers like a button she'd found under the sofa.I eased it out of her grip with a smile I didn't feel, promised her a biscuit in exchange, and watched Sarah carry her toward the kitchen wing. Only when the door closed behind them did I let my face change."Sarah said the nursery was locked from the inside," Nora said. Her voice had flattened into the careful register she used when she was holding something enormous at arm's length. "Who has a key?""Three of us." I counted them off. "You, me, and Sarah.""And the lock itself?""Biometric. Palm print, plus a keycode that changes every week." I pulled up the access log on the study terminal, fingers moving faster than my mind could keep pace with. "Torres rebuilt that system after Elias. Nobody gets through it without leaving a trace."The log loaded. Nursery door, 9:04 that morning: Sarah Whitlock, palm verifie

Nora's POVI don't remember crossing the clearing. One moment Thorne's words were still ringing against the trees, and the next I was in the passenger seat of Kade's truck with the engine howling and the dashboard clock reading eleven minutes past nine."Seventy minutes if the roads stay clear," Kade said. His knuckles had gone pale on the wheel. "Less if I stop caring about the speed limit.""Stop caring."He did.Behind us, Torres drove the second vehicle with Thorne bound in the back seat. Isadora rode beside him, notebook open on her knees. My father-in-law followed in a third car with Margaret, who had refused, flatly, to stay alone in a farmhouse a stranger had already walked through.Sarah's voice kept coming through the speaker every few minutes, thin but steady. Helena was awake. Helena was eating a banana. Helena wanted to know why everyone kept whispering.I pressed both hands against my knees to stop them shaking.*Helena Voss. The last true heir of the Hollow line.* My mo

Kade's POVNobody lowered a weapon, though I noticed Torres's aim drifting between Thorne and the woman at the treeline, unsure which of them deserved it more.Isadora looked thinner than I remembered. Her hair had gone loose from its severe pinning, her coat was dusty at the hem, and she walked toward us with the careful, unhurried steps of someone who knew exactly how this would look."Before anyone does something regrettable," she said, "I'd like to explain why I'm standing here.""Please do," Nora said, her voice cool enough to frost glass."Three weeks ago, a man matching Thorne's description came to the cottage where I've been living. He made me an offer. Take the Patron's seat, or watch Margaret Hollow take it instead, with all the consequences that would bring for a woman who'd never asked for any of it." Isadora's gaze slid to Thorne. "I told him I'd think about it. Then I started following him."Thorne's smile thinned. "Following me. How resourceful.""I learned from the bes

Nora's POVHe stood perhaps thirty feet off, hands clasped loosely in front of him, dressed in plain traveling clothes that gave away nothing about who he actually served. No weapon visible. No urgency in his stance at all, as though he'd simply strolled onto the property for a pleasant morning conversation rather than walked into a clearing full of people ready to stop him by force."Stay back," Kade said, voice hard, positioning himself slightly in front of Margaret."I have no intention of coming closer," the man said, something almost amused in his measured tone. "I find conversations go more smoothly without weapons pointed at anyone's chest. Though I imagine you'll keep yours raised regardless.""Who sent you," Torres demanded."Nobody sends me anywhere," the man said. "I serve the Patron directly, same as I have for nearly thirty years. Before that, I served the previous Patron, and before them, the one before that. Loyalty of this particular kind isn't purchased, Alpha Parker.

Kade's POVLeaving Helena behind proved harder than any border crossing or council hearing we'd survived these past several years.She clung to Nora's leg at the gate, sensing something in the air none of us had bothered to explain to her, and it took Sarah's gentle coaxing and the promise of an afternoon spent baking with the kitchen staff before our daughter finally released her grip enough for us to climb into the waiting vehicle."She'll be fine," I said, watching Nora's face in the side mirror, watching Helena's small figure shrink behind the closing gate."I know," Nora said. "Doesn't make it easier."We traveled light this time — myself, Nora, Torres, my father, and two trackers Torres trusted completely, the same careful approach we'd used reaching Thornhollow two years earlier, though this time with considerably more intelligence gathered ahead of the actual approach.The drainage valley bordering Thornhollow's western edge proved easier to access than the mountain estate its

Nora's POVDamien arrived within two days, Marcus beside him, both looking steadier than I remembered from the chaos of two years earlier. Torres had already pulled together everything Blackridge's own monitoring systems could offer, which, as it turned out, wasn't much — whoever had approached Isadora had left no trace in any financial pattern we'd learned to watch for."That's the troubling part," Torres said, spreading a thin folder across the study table where we'd once pieced together Morrison's ledgers. "Every previous layer of this left fingerprints eventually. Victor's accounts, Agatha's shells, even Ashworth's own family structure. This sixth generation hasn't touched a single traceable channel.""Meaning they learned from every mistake the rest of them made," my father said grimly, settling into a chair across from Helena's scattered toys, which nobody had bothered clearing from the room given how quickly we'd all gathered. "Patient, careful, invisible even to people who kno
