Marked but Unclaimed Chapter 70 - What the Notebook Said
I woke up before him. Kade was still sitting up against the headboard, head dropped to one side, completely out. I had never seen him sleep before. He looked different. Younger somehow, and less guarded, all the careful composure he carried around just gone. I watched him for a moment and then looked away because it felt like seeing something private. The morning light was coming through the curtain. Outside I could hear the pack grounds starting up, voices somewhere distant, the ordinary sounds of the day beginning. Everything that had happened yesterday was still waiting. Kade stirred a few minutes later. He was alert quickly, the way people are when they are used to needing to be. He looked at the room, then at me, and something moved through his expression that he did not quite manage to close off in time. Morning, I said. He cleared his throat. Morning. He did not make a move to leave immediately, which I noticed. He sat there for another moment, looking at the window, and
Marked but Unclaimed Chapter 69 - Just Stay
After my mother left the room to let Kade know she was on pack grounds, I went back to my room, sat on the edge of my bed and did not move for a while.My mind was going in too many directions. My mother sitting in that chair. The notebook. The things she had said and the things we had not gotten to yet. The apology she had given me and how I did not quite know what to do with it.I heard footsteps in the corridor and then a knock at the door.It was Kade.He was not in Alpha mode. That was the first thing I noticed. He was not carrying a report or coming to brief me on something. He was just standing in the doorway looking at me the way he sometimes did when he thought I was not paying attention."Derek has your mother settled in a room," he said. "Jake has the notebook. We will go through it in the morning.""Okay," I said.He stayed in the doorway. "Are you alright."I thought about giving him the easy answer. I did not."I do not know yet," I said. "Ask me tomorrow."He nodded and
Marked but Unclaimed Chapter 68 - Everything She Did Not Say
I closed the door and stood with my back against it. She was still sitting in the chair. She had not moved. She was watching me with an expression that was careful and open at the same time, like she was trying not to push but also could not quite hide how much this moment meant to her. I did not know where to start. There were too many things and they had been sitting in me for too long and they all wanted to come out at once, which meant none of them did. So I said the first thing that came out. How long have you been here, I said. Three days, she said. I got in through the eastern side. There is a section of the old fence that was easy to get through quietly. The observer, I said. Near the eastern fence tonight. She nodded. I saw her there this afternoon. I moved before she could get close. I pushed off the door and sat on the edge of the bed across from her. I looked at her properly for the first time. She looked like someone I half remembered and half had to learn, which
Marked but Unclaimed Chapter 67 - The Chair by the Window
Kade did not call a full alert. He just pulled four of his most trusted wolves and told them to go through the grounds quietly. Check every building, every corner, every space that someone could use to stay out of sight. He told them to be discreet about it.While they searched I sat with Lena in the small meeting room.I asked her everything she knew. She answered honestly and without making it more than it was. Her mother and mine had been in touch for a long time, passing messages carefully, never through anything that could be traced. Lena had known about my mother since she was a girl but had been told not to ask too many questions. Her mother had said it was for safety and Lena had accepted that.What did your mother tell you before you left, I asked.That the Arden were getting ready to move, Lena said. That it would happen soon. And that you needed to be prepared for something specific. She did not tell me what.Did she say anything else.Lena thought about it. She said your m
Marked but Unclaimed Chapter 66 - Already Here
The girl at the gate was younger than I expected. She was dusty from travel and clearly had not slept properly in a while, but she was not scared. She was watching everything around her with steady eyes, taking it all in without giving much away. She looked at me when I came through the gate. You are Della, she said. Yes, I said. And you are. Lena. She said it quickly, then added, I was followed. The last part of the journey. I knew and I let them do it. Kade moved forward slightly. Why. My mother asked me to, she said. She needed time to move somewhere. Having them watch me bought her that time. I looked at her. Her mother. My mother and yours have been in contact for a while, Lena said. I do not know everything. She told me what I needed to get here and not much more than that. My father had followed us through the gate. He stopped when she said that and just looked at her. Lena noticed but did not say anything about it. She reached into her jacket and pulled out a small c
Marked but Unclaimed Chapter 65 - She Came On Her Own
Jake found us still in the guest room about an hour later. He knocked and came in without waiting, which meant what he had to say could not sit. He looked at all three of us and then settled on Kade. The team found a trail, he said. She was not taken. She was moving. On foot, off the main roads, heading west. Heading west, Kade said. Toward us, Jake said. Nobody spoke for a second. Jake said the team had worked out roughly when she started moving and it was before the archive break-in at Northern Ridge. Before her location was even at risk. She had already been on her way before any of us knew her name. Someone warned her, I said. Jake looked at me. That is what it looks like. I thought about the letter on the desk. The symbol pressed into the wax. The name at the bottom that only my mother had ever used. She has been in contact with the cousin, I said. My mother. She warned her to move before anyone else even knew to look for her. Kade was quiet for a moment. Then he said,
