last update 公開日: 2026-05-01 23:58:57
Thalrion is in the corridor.

Of course he is. Right outside the door, shoulder against the wall, arms crossed, and he reads my face the moment I come out and straightens immediately.

"What did he say?" he asks.

I look at him.

At this man. Silver eyes and the scar along his jaw and the face that has been the last thing I think about before I sleep for weeks now. The man whose ancestor, two hundred years ago, sat down and deliberately built the bloodline that produced me.

I don't know how to start

  • Hunted By Alphas, Claimed By The Alpha King   Chapter 62: The Conclave

    The Veyrath family has held their Conclave seat for two hundred and twelve years.Caius puts that number on the table like the weight it is, two hundred and twelve years of governance, two hundred and twelve years of being present in the room where the laws of the werewolf world are made and unmade, and he lets it sit there for a moment before he continues."There are five seats," he says. "Veyrath, Ashmont, Dorne, Callister, and Bloodryn." He looks at Thalrion. "Bloodryn holds the fifth seat. Has held it for six generations.""I know which seat is mine," Thalrion says."I'm establishing context," Caius replies, with the specific patience of someone who has been doing this long enough to know that context matters even when the audience is impatient.Soren is at the table. Dorian is at the table, which is new and which everyone is adjusting to with varying degrees of visible comfort. I am at the table. Tiara is in the doorway, which is her established position and nobody challenges it

  • Hunted By Alphas, Claimed By The Alpha King   Chapter 63: What The Drive Contains

    Caius works through the night.I know because I feel the light under his door at two am and again at four and when I come downstairs at six he is at the kitchen table with three empty coffee cups and the specific quality of a man who has found something and is deciding in what order to say it.Lena brings him a fourth coffee without being asked.He looks at her like she just saved his life.She probably did.I sit across from him."Tell me," I say."Thalrion should be here," he replies."Thalrion is sleeping," I say. "Tell me first and we tell him together."He looks at me for a moment.Then he tells me.The Veyrath leverage is a death.Seventeen years ago the Veyrath patriarch's eldest son was involved in an incident that was covered up at significant expense and with significant help from Noctyros Malvane who was at that point a young head of house with ambitions and very specific information about who to acquire debts from. The eldest son has been dead for fifteen years. The offici

    He is nothing like his father.That is the first thing I notice when he walks through the door of the house three days later, and I notice it before he has said a single word, before he has done anything except exist in the room, because his presence through the ability is warm where Noctyros is cold and uncertain where Noctyros is patient and twenty three years old in a way that has nothing to do with age and everything to do with someone who has been kept deliberately unknowing about the shape of their own life.He is tall. Dark haired. His mother's eyes, Thalrion told me, brown and direct, nothing of the Malvane silver in them. He carries himself like someone who learned early that taking up too much space had consequences and has been managing his footprint ever since.I recognise that too.He sees me before he sees Thalrion.Something moves across his face. Recognition, not of me personally, but of what I am, and I feel the Alpha in him register the Omega in me and then register s

  • Hunted By Alphas, Claimed By The Alpha King   Chapter 60: What Morally Grey Looks Like

    Three days after Noctyros leaves the house, Thalrion does something I find out about secondhand.Tiara tells me.She comes to the book room at nine in the morning with two coffees and her expression doing the specific thing it does when she has information she thinks I should have and is deciding how to give it to me, and she sits at the other end of the window seat and hands me a coffee and says, "Soren told Lena and Lena told me so technically I heard it twice which means it's probably true.""What is it?" I ask."Noctyros's son," she says. "Did you know he had a son?"I go still."No," I reply."Thalrion did," she says. "Apparently he's known for a while. The son's name is Dorian. Twenty three. He's been kept completely off the grid, no public profile, no documentation connected to the Malvane name." She looks at her coffee. "Thalrion made contact with him three days ago. Without telling you."I look at the window."What kind of contact?""I don't know the details," she admits. "Ju
