Ivy.

Something was wrong.

The photo I was currently looking at made my stomach drop through the floor.

This was Tyler's brother's new room number and it was clear and taken straight from inside the hospital.

Someone was already here.

I didn’t think twice. I turned on my heel and pushed back through the door of his brother's room, locking it behind me with my fingers.

  • My Ex Framed Me, So I Dated His Rival   Chapter 155: Supreme Summons

    Tyler.The cold wind coming off the harbor whipped through the pines at the edge of the ice, making the black wax seal on Rourke's envelope gleam like fresh blood under the moonlight. I kept my arm locked around Ivy’s waist, shielding her body with mine while my blades dug into the black ice.“Say that again,” I demanded, keeping my voice low so it wouldn't echo across the inlet.“Elder Maren was relieved of her seat three hours ago,” Rourke repeated, stepping closer to the edge of the ice. His boots crunched through the crusty snow. “The Supreme Council claims she exceeded her authority by granting an unsanctioned release to a bound enforcer without a full council quorum.”Ivy stepped up beside me, her palm resting flat against my ribs where she could feel the steady, protective pulse of my wolf bond.“Maren had the authority. She was the primary blood anchor for the rite.”“The Supreme Council doesn't care about the anchor, Ivy,” Rourke scoffed softly, holding out the black envelope

  • My Ex Framed Me, So I Dated His Rival   Chapter 154: Moonlit Ice

    Ivy.The cold wind coming off the harbor cut straight through my jacket, but I stood at the end of the wooden dock and stared out over the dark water. The satellite phone lay silent in my pocket, its screen dark, while the soft hum of the tide against the pilings replaced the roar of the interceptor's engines.Behind me, the door of the small harbor master's cabin opened, spilling warm yellow light across the damp planks. Tyler stepped out, wearing a thick wool sweater with his hands tucked into his pockets, his shoulders carrying a quiet ease I hadn't seen since the night he brought me to the pack hall.“The boat is refueled,” Tyler said, his boots clicking softly on the wood as he walked up beside me. “The dock master said the southern inlet stays clear all winter.”I turned my head to look at him, reaching out to lace my fingers through his.“No Syndicate interceptors on the radar?”“Nothing,” Tyler replied, pulling my hand into his warm coat pocket. “Noah texted five minutes ago.

    Ivy.“How much ground are they making up?” I asked, my fingers digging into the edge of the dash as the twin engines roared beneath the deck.Tyler’s eyes remained fixed on the radar display, where the single red marker flickered three miles behind our stern and closed the distance with terrifying speed. “They are running a double-turbine engine. They will be on top of us in less than ten minutes if we stay in open water.”“The coastal charts showed a jagged cluster of sea stacks about five miles south,” I remembered, grabbing the laminated map from the side shelf and spreading it over the console. “The channel between the rocks is narrow and shallow. A boat their size will tear its hull out if they try to follow us through.”“If we miss the entry line, we tear our own hull out,” Tyler warned, his hands holding the steering wheel steady as a heavy swell lifted our bow and slammed it back down against the water.“It is our only shot,” I insisted, pointing to the tight gap marked on the

    Tyler.The boat cut smoothly through the calm harbor water as the morning sun broke past the tree line on the shore. I kept one hand resting on the wheel while Ivy stood beside me at the helm, her eyes scanning the dark blue horizon stretching to the south.“The engine sounds steady,” Ivy observed, resting her arm against the console as the wind pulled at her dark hair.“Hale’s transport team took care of the maintenance,” I replied, adjusting our bearing to clear the shallow reef near the harbor mouth. “We have enough fuel to reach the southern cove by midafternoon.”“No phone calls, no emergency alerts and no pack council updates,” Ivy said, letting out a long breath that settled into a quiet smile. “It almost feels wrong.”“Get used to it,” I told her, reaching over to lace my fingers through hers. “We fought through enough basements and storm drains to earn a week of quiet.”Before she could answer, a low, metallic chime echoed from the storage compartment beneath the dash. It was

    Ivy.The utility vehicle turned off the coastal highway onto a gravel road that led toward a small harbor tucked behind a line of pine trees. The rain had stopped, leaving the morning sky pale gray while sunlight broke through the clouds along the horizon.“Where are we?” I asked, looking through the rear window as Van brought the vehicle to a stop near a wooden dock.“A private marina,” Van answered, cutting the engine before turning in his seat. “Hale’s transport team arranged a boat to take you down the coast to a house near the border. No league records, no pack boundaries.”Tyler shifted beside me, unwrapping the wet blanket from his shoulders. “What about you?”“I have work in the north,” Van replied, gesturing toward a smaller truck parked beside the docks. “Mason’s old territory needs to be cleaned up before the council tries to claim it.”Noah stepped down from the front seat, then opened the rear door. “The harbor master has the keys to the boat. Everything is set up under a

    Tyler.I pushed against the rock lip of the air shaft, gritting my teeth as the pressure against my bruised chest flared into a sharp burn. Below us, the main cavern was completely submerged, with black ocean water churning where Garrett and Caroline had stood moments earlier.“Keep moving up,” I told Ivy, reaching down to help brace Hale's uninjured leg against the narrow stone ledge. “The shaft angles toward the top of the headland.”“I have Hale,” Ivy called, her fingers locked around the collar of Marcus's jacket as she hauled him another three feet into the dry recess. “The air is clear up here.”Hale groaned, his face pale beneath the mud and salt spray coating his skin.“My leg is broken in two places. I'm only slowing you down.”“Nobody is getting left behind in a hole,” Ivy snapped, adjusting her grip on his coat. “Not after everything we went through in that basement.”I wedged my boots into two notches in the stone wall and pushed myself higher. Behind us, a massive wave sl
