My Alpha Rejected Me Then Discovered I was Billionaire Luna Chapter Forty
Nora's POVKade read the message twice before he handed the phone to me, his jaw tight, something dark and unsettled moving behind his eyes."Someone in my inner circle," he said slowly, like the words tasted wrong just saying them out loud. "That's not a large group of people, Nora. That's maybe a dozen wolves total, most of whom I've trusted with my life more than once.""Trust doesn't mean immune," I said quietly, though I felt the weight of what this meant settle heavy over both of us. "Marcus taught us that already.""I know." He scrubbed a hand over his face, exhaustion and frustration warring plainly across his features. "I just didn't expect to be learning that lesson twice in the same month."We drove the rest of the way to Blackridge in tense, careful silence, both of us running through the same mental list, I suspected — who among his closest people might have been reachable, vulnerable, tempted by whatever Agatha was offering.The territory itself was larger than anything

Kade's POV"Stop the convoy," I said into the radio, already scanning the road ahead for any sign of the checkpoint the lead car had described. "Nobody approaches until we know exactly what we're dealing with.""Copy that, Alpha. Holding position half a mile back."I looked over at Nora, who'd gone very still and very focused, the same expression she wore whenever fear started converting itself into strategy instead of panic."If Agatha's people set up a fake checkpoint," she said slowly, "then she's not planning an ambush the way she did at the cabin. Checkpoints mean she wants something that looks official. Something that gives her people a reason to stop us without immediately triggering a fight.""Papers," I said, understanding hitting fast. "She's going to try something with authority instead of force. Claim some technicality about the divorce, the waiting period, pack law.""Elder Morrison confirmed the waiting period ended at midnight," Nora said. "I have the paperwork. There s

POVEleanor's warning followed me the whole drive back to Silvercrest, sitting cold and heavy in my chest even as Kade tried, gently, to talk through the practical steps we'd need to take before the waiting period actually ended."We change the route," he said, one hand on the wheel, the other resting over mine the way it had become natural for it to do these last few weeks. "Multiple routes, actually, decided at the last possible minute so nothing gets leaked ahead of time. My people escort from the moment you step through those gates until we're well inside Blackridge territory.""You think that's enough.""I think it's what we can control," he said. "Agatha's dangerous because she's patient and because she's been invisible for forty years. She's not dangerous because she's got an army waiting on every possible road out of Silvercrest. Whatever she's planning, it's going to require the same careful setup everything else of hers has required, and careful setups take time. Time we can
My Alpha Rejected Me Then Discovered I was Billionaire Luna Chapter thirty-seven
Nora's POVWe met her two days later, at a small, unremarkable diner just off the county highway, chosen specifically, Rachel said, because Eleanor had picked it herself for reasons she wouldn't fully explain until we arrived.I understood the moment we walked in. The woman sitting alone in the back booth, gray threading through dark hair pulled into a simple braid, wasn't hiding at all anymore, not the way the letters had suggested she'd need to. She sat facing the door, calm and steady, watching us approach with an expression that mixed exhaustion and something achingly close to hope.Rachel froze in the doorway for a long moment, staring at the woman she'd believed dead for most of her life, and I watched thirty years of grief and confusion play out across her face in the space of a few seconds."Mom?" Her voice came out small, uncertain, nothing like the composed, calculating woman I'd first met at Elder Morrison's office weeks ago.Eleanor rose slowly from the booth, and for a mo

Nora's POVI didn't think. I ran.Kade's hand was locked around mine, pulling me hard through the dark trees, branches tearing at my jacket, the ground uneven and treacherous underfoot, but none of it registered beyond the single, screaming urgency to move faster, further, away from that steady, worsening beep still echoing somewhere behind us."Elder Morrison," I gasped, twisting to check behind me."Here," he called, further back than either of us, moving as fast as his age and the loss of his cane would allow, Kade's man Torres suddenly appearing out of the dark to half-carry him forward."How much time," I shouted toward Kade."I don't know! Just run!"We broke through the treeline into a small clearing, and Kade didn't slow down, pulling me down the steep slope on the far side, half-sliding, half-running down loose scree toward a shallow gully cut into the hillside below."Down, now, get down!" He shoved me flat against the ground the second we reached the gully, covering my body

Nora's POVGunfire cracked through the trees again, closer this time, and I flattened myself harder against the cold, damp ground behind the fallen tree, my heart hammering so loud I could barely hear anything else over it."Torres, positions," Kade shouted, and I heard the answering calls come back from his people scattered through the dark, still holding, still fighting, but clearly outmatched in numbers for the moment."How many of them are there," I asked, breathless."Too many to have shown up here by accident." Kade's voice was tight, controlled, every ounce of his attention split between watching for the next attack and keeping his body angled protectively between me and the muzzle flashes still lighting up the trees. "This was planned days ago, maybe longer. Nobody assembles a team like this on an hour's notice."Elder Morrison had gone quiet beside us, pressed low against the same fallen tree, his cane abandoned somewhere in the scramble for cover, his face pale and grim in t
