Kade's POV

"Show me," I said, already moving toward the door.

Nora was right behind me, envelope still clutched in her hand, and Elder Morrison called after us that he'd alert the perimeter patrol before following at whatever pace his cane allowed. I didn't wait for him. Some things needed eyes on the ground fast, before whatever trail we'd found went any colder than it already had.

My security lead, a steady, unshakeable wolf named Torres who'd served Blackridge for a decade, met us at the tre

    Kade's POVAgatha's formal transfer to council custody took most of the following day, paperwork and procedure eating up hours neither Nora nor I particularly had patience for, given everything hanging unanswered over both of us since her final words in that storage room."She could be lying," I said again, mostly to convince myself, pacing the length of my study while Nora sat curled in the chair by the window, going through the last of Eleanor's documentation for what felt like the hundredth time. "A woman like that doesn't walk quietly into custody without one final attempt to leave chaos behind her.""I don't think she was lying," Nora said, not looking up from the papers. "I've been thinking about it all day. Everything about the way she said it — there wasn't any triumph in it, Kade. No satisfaction like she'd gotten one last dig in on her way out. She sounded almost relieved, honestly. Like she'd been waiting a long time to finally admit she wasn't actually the one in charge."

  • My Alpha Rejected Me Then Discovered I was Billionaire Luna   CHAPTER Forty-two

    Nora's POVWe spent the next two days building the trap with the same careful precision Kade had brought to every plan since the night I first met him face to face, and I found myself falling into the rhythm of it alongside him, offering ideas, catching gaps he'd missed, the two of us working together in a way that felt like the natural extension of two years spent solving problems over a phone line.Daniel proved genuinely useful, once he'd committed fully to the plan. He knew exactly how Agatha communicated, the careful protocols she used to avoid detection, the specific phrasing that would make our fabricated information seem authentic rather than obviously planted."She'll want proof," Daniel said, sitting across the table from us on the second morning, still carrying the weight of guilt in his posture even as he worked to make things right. "Not just my word that the evidence exists somewhere at Blackridge. She's too careful to move on secondhand information alone.""What kind of

  • My Alpha Rejected Me Then Discovered I was Billionaire Luna   CHAPTER Forty-one

    Kade's POVI didn't sleep. Neither did Nora, though she tried, curling up on the small couch in the corner of the room while Torres and I kept watch over the monitoring systems we'd quietly set up around the false evidence location.Fifteen years. I kept coming back to that number, turning it over in my head like it might reveal something different if I looked at it from enough angles. Fifteen years of Daniel standing beside me through territory disputes, through my father's death, through the long, difficult process of actually becoming an Alpha worth following instead of just one born into the position. If he was working with Agatha, if he'd been compromised or bought or simply convinced somewhere along the way that his loyalty belonged elsewhere, I didn't know how I was supposed to reconcile that with fifteen years of evidence to the contrary."You should rest," Nora said quietly, sitting up from the couch sometime past three in the morning, watching me still hunched over the monit

    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

  • My Alpha Rejected Me Then Discovered I was Billionaire Luna   CHAPTER thirty-nine

    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
