Marked but Unclaimed Chapter 62 – The Wrong Moment
The news about Roman reached the Council observers before Kade had finished assessing the scene. I was still in the meeting room with my father when Jake came to tell me. He stood in the doorway and kept his voice low, the way people do when they are trying to contain something that is already spreading. One of the observers had been near the east corridor when the morning patrol raised the alarm. They had not seen the body but they had heard enough. And by now word had moved through the pack house the way bad news always moves — faster than anyone who needed to manage it. My father listened without expression. When Jake finished he leaned back in his chair and said quietly, 'Vance will use this before the day is out.' He was right. The formal message arrived less than two hours later, delivered by one of the Council observers with the careful neutrality of someone who had been told exactly what to say and how to say it. A senior pack member dead under suspicious circumstance
Marked but Unclaimed Chapter 61 – What the Morning Brought
My father arrived just after dawn. I was already waiting when his car came through the gate. I had not slept. His message the night before had kept turning in my mind, he was already on his way before we had even decided to contact him. Either someone had told him, or something at Northern Ridge had frightened him enough to move without waiting for word from us. Neither possibility was comfortable. He stepped out looking older than I remembered. Not physically — he was still the same broad-shouldered, hard-faced Alpha I had watched rule a pack my entire childhood. But something behind his eyes had shifted. He looked at Kade first, the measuring look of one Alpha taking the measure of another, then looked at me and said my name. Just my name, quietly, but the way it came out told me he had been thinking about this moment for longer than just the drive here.. Kade's response was brief and polite and carried not a single degree of warmth. "Come inside," he said, and tur
Marked but Unclaimed Chapter 60 – Short List
Nobody spoke for a long moment after Jake said it. Kade stood very still, looking at the four coins on the table. Then he looked up at Derek. "My office," he said. "My private office." "Yes," Derek said. "How many people have a key to that room." Derek did not answer immediately. He did not need to count. He already knew the number and the number was the problem. "Four," Derek said. "You. Me. Jake. And Roman." He said the names, and the room went quiet. Roman. Kade's head of security. The man responsible for knowing everything that moved inside and outside these walls, who had stood in every important meeting, heard every sensitive conversation, and had access to information that most pack members would never see in their lifetime. If Roman was the one, the damage already done was not small. "There is also the cleaning rotation," Jake said carefully. "Two wolves enter that office every week. But they are escorted. They do not have independent access and they are ne
Marked but Unclaimed Chapter 59 – The Mark
Jake had been awake all night and it showed. He was sitting at the table when Kade and I walked in, surrounded by papers, looking like a man who had found something he wished he had not. He did not say good morning. He turned one of the papers around and pushed it across the table toward me. I looked down at it. It was old, the kind of document where the paper itself tells you it has been around longer than anyone in the room. There was a drawing on it, a circle with a symbol inside it and small marks running all the way around the outer edge. I recognized it without needing anyone to tell me what it was. "That is the coin," I said. "That is the Ardenmark," Jake said. "And before I tell you what it means, I need you to tell me exactly where the coin was found." "At the bakery," I said. "Before I came here. That is what Kade told me." Jake nodded like that confirmed something he had already suspected. "The bakery is outside pack territory. Which means whoever placed it th
Marked but Unclaimed Chapter 58- Worth Reporting
The knock at the door was quiet. Two taps. "Come in," I said. Kade stepped inside and closed the door behind him. He had not gone to his room either. He still looked exactly the way he had in that corridor, controlled, jaw tight, eyes doing that thing where they gave away less than his body did. He looked at me sitting in the lamplight. I looked back at him. "I thought you went to your room," he said. "I thought you did too." He moved into the room and sat in the chair across from me. Not close. Not far. The space between us felt intentional on both sides. Neither of us spoke for a moment. The lamp threw its circle between us. "Derek pulled their records tonight," he said finally. "Before he went to sleep." "And." "Clean. Too clean." His eyes moved to the window for a second. "Three pack wolves with no meaningful history. No incidents. No pattern of association with anyone we have flagged." He paused. "Someone cleared them. Carefully. Before tonight." "Which means whoever
Marked but Unclaimed Chapter 57- What She Could Not Say
Kade told two of his men to take the fighters out of the corridor. Nobody spoke while it happened.Derek watched the last one get walked out and then turned and looked at me. Not the way he had looked at me in the chamber this morning.This was different. This was Derek trying to put something together in his head."You want to tell us what happened in there," he said.I looked at him. "Three men were waiting for me in a locked room.""That is not what I am asking and you know it," he said.Kade had not said anything yet. He was standing a few steps away with his arms crossed and his eyes on the floor between us.I waited to see which direction this was going. Derek took one step closer."Something happened in that room Della," he said. "We both felt it from outside the door before we even walked in."I kept my face still. "What I need you both to focus on is who sent those men."Derek's eyes narrowed slightly. "We will get to that.""No," I said. "We need to get to that now."Kade lo
