The first door opened forty-three minutes after the warrants were granted.

I watched through the Council's secure feed as two neutral investigators entered Mercer's office inside Silverpine's governing hall. A Silverpine security officer accompanied them to confirm the location of every cabinet, terminal, and protected archive, but he touched nothing.

Neither did I.

  • My Sister Wore My Luna Ring, So I Married His Rival Alpha   Chapter 41: The Elder Who Lied Part One

    The first door opened forty-three minutes after the warrants were granted.I watched through the Council's secure feed as two neutral investigators entered Mercer's office inside Silverpine's governing hall. A Silverpine security officer accompanied them to confirm the location of every cabinet, terminal, and protected archive, but he touched nothing.Neither did I.Azriel and I remained inside the medical wing's conference room while the search unfolded across three screens. The split was intentional. Mercer had spent days suggesting that Nightfall controlled every piece of evidence used against him. I would not give his attorney the opportunity to claim my husband's wolves had planted something inside Silverpine.The investigators photographed the office before opening the first drawer.Mercer's desk looked exactly as it had every time he summoned me for advice I had not requested. The same silver pen rested beside the Council directory. The same

  • My Sister Wore My Luna Ring, So I Married His Rival Alpha   Chapter 40: The Man Evelina Feared

    Mercer stopped inside the doorway.The Council officer behind him moved first. One hand settled near the restraints at his belt while the other reached toward Mercer's shoulder without touching him.Evelina's fingers tightened around mine. Her fear entered the room before anyone spoke again. It sharpened the frantic rhythm of the monitor beside her bed and turned each breath into something shallow enough to hurt.I stepped between my sister and the doorway. "Evelina, look at me."Her gaze remained fixed over my shoulder. "He was there," she repeated. "I saw him."Mercer's expression changed by less than a breath. The concern arranged across his features did not disappear, but something beneath it became watchful. "She's confused," he said. "Whatever medication they have given her—""Do not answer for her," I said.The Council commander entered behind him. At once, Azriel shifted to my right, placing himself close enough to intervene w

    "You could have warned me.""You invited me into the bath.""That was not permission to expose yourself without notice.""Wifey, you have already seen every part of me.""That does not mean I require another presentation."His amusement moved closer. "You were considerably less shy last night.""I was distracted.""Your mouth appeared remarkably focused."Heat climbed from my throat into my face. "Finish that thought, and you'll be bathing alone."

  • My Sister Wore My Luna Ring, So I Married His Rival Alpha   Chapter 38: Evidence of Productive Night

    Sleeping inside Azriel's arms did not mean either of us remained asleep.Sometime after midnight, I woke to his mouth moving along my shoulder and his hand spread across my waist. The second time began slowly, with drowsy kisses and whispered questions against my skin. The third did not.After that, the hours dissolved into warm sheets, tangled limbs, and the steady sound of my name in his voice. I stopped trying to determine where one moment ended and another began. There was only Azriel beneath my hands, the black diamond still around my finger, and the certainty that every time I reached for him, he reached back.By dawn, even my wolf had abandoned me to exhaustion.I lay across Azriel's chest with one leg trapped between his and my cheek resting over his heart. His skin remained warm beneath me. Each slow rise of his breathing lifted my head before lowering it again.Azriel, however, remained offensively awake.One arm curved around my back while his fingers traced idle paths alon

    The moment I clung my hands around his neck, Azriel didn't hesitate to lift me and make my legs wrap around his waist. A soft, approving moan escaped me as I felt his smile from the way I responded. My fingers tangled into the damp hair at the nape of his neck. He carried me to the bed.My silk robe parted as my back met the cool sheets. I pulled him closer. He settled over me, bracing himself above me. I didn't give him a chance to move. I lifted my head to continue what I started."I am never letting you leave my side again," I murmured."It would be my honor, wifey."He captured my lips again. This time, it was covered with pure hunger as if we hadn't seen each other for years when we had been with each other for hours. I matched his intensity, eager to show that I desired him just as deeply as he desired me.Our tongues dwelled against each other while his hands were impatiently removing my robe. As he was busy touching me, my hand instinctively reached for the recent scar he had,

    The Council commander reached for a suspension order as soon as Elder Mercer's name appeared on the screen."Wait," I said.His hand stopped above the tablet. "Mrs. Castellane, the notice assigned to Mercer brought two men carrying accelerant to Ashvale Crossing.""It proves his notice reached Redfang. It does not prove he sent it."Azriel stood beside me, studying the distribution record. He did not argue for the faster answer simply because it was the one he would have chosen months ago.The commander's expression hardened. "You want him left inside Silverpine's government?""I want him to believe he is." I closed the notice. "Mirror every device connected to his protected account. Require a second authorization for anything involving transportation, border security, or Council evidence, but make the restriction appear like part of the emergency stand-down.""And his communications?""Observed, not blocked. If we close the path now, we lose whoever waits at the other end."Azriel lo
