Hunted By Alphas, Claimed By The Alpha King EPILOGUE: What Remains
Six months later.The bakery puts something out at six thirty every morning and I get there first every day.Not because I have to. Not because there is nowhere else to be and nothing else to do and no other option except the step and the pastry and twenty minutes of being nobody specific. But because I want to. Because wanting things is something I am still learning and the bakery is where I practice it, every morning, in the specific quiet of the hour before the city gets loud.Thalrion comes with me sometimes.Not every day. Some mornings the empire requires him before six thirty and I go alone and bring something back and leave it on his desk and he finds it an hour later and the expression on his face when he finds it is one I have never seen him make for anyone else.This morning he is beside me on the step.Both of us with coffee and pastries and the city doing its waking up thing below us and the early light coming in gold from the east and neither of us talking because we have

He closes the door and turns around and looks at me and his expression is not tired anymore.Whatever tiredness was there has been replaced by something that was underneath it the whole drive home, the whole debriefing, the whole evening of terms and Dorian and Eli and everyone finding their places, something that has been waiting for the door to close and the room to be just us.He looks at me the way he looked at me in the mountains after everything stopped.Awe and pride and hunger all at once and none of it managed."Come here," he says.I cross to him and he takes my face in both hands and tips it up and kisses me and it is not the careful kiss of a man with cracked ribs, it is the kiss of a man who went into a mountain field and came out the other side and is expressing what that cost and what it meant through the only language currently available to him.I grab his shirt.He pulls me closer and I feel him wince when I press against his left side and I pull back immediately."Rib
Hunted By Alphas, Claimed By The Alpha King Chapter 72: Coming Down
The drive home takes six hours.I sleep for four of them.Not planned. My body simply makes the decision for me somewhere in the first hour, pulling me under with a completeness that suggests whatever the final ability cost me, it cost more than I fully registered in the field, and I wake up when the vehicle slows and the trees around the house are visible through the window in late afternoon gold.Thalrion is beside me.He looks worse in daylight than he did in the mountains. The cut above his eye has been cleaned and closed and there is bruising starting along his jaw and he is holding himself slightly differently, his left side protected in the specific way of someone managing pain they have decided not to discuss."How bad?" I ask."Manageable," he says."Thalrion."He meets my eyes. "Two ribs. Possibly three. Nothing displaced.""You have broken ribs?" "Cracked," he corrects."That is the same thing with a smaller word," I tell him.The amusement that moves across his face is wa
Hunted By Alphas, Claimed By The Alpha King Chapter 71: Breaks Open
Thalrion goes down.Not finished. Not down completely. But he takes a hit at full strength that he cannot deflect and he drops to one knee and I see his face and his face is the face of a man at the absolute limit of what his body can do and the next hit is already coming and I feel the intent of it before the Alpha's arm moves.Something breaks open in me.Not breaks down.Breaks open.Like a door that was always there finding its handle in the specific terror of watching him go down and knowing the next hit is coming and knowing I cannot reach him in time and knowing that the person who found me a bakery and fell asleep in a chair might not get back up.The new ability arrives not like something switching on but like something that was always fully on, being turned all the way up simultaneously everywhere at once.What I feel is not twelve threads...I feel everything.Every intent in the entire space. Corvyn's directive channeling through his twelve like current through a wire. The

We feel them at the two kilometre mark.I reach for the ability and it lights up immediately, multiple pressure points flooding my awareness, and I count them fast and my stomach drops."Twelve," I say.The vehicle goes completely silent."He built a pack," Soren says flatly from the front seat."Not a pack," Thalrion says. "A private army."We stop the convoy two kilometres out and step into the cold grey mountain morning and I look at the property ahead through the trees, three stone buildings, old pack architecture, lights in two windows despite the early hour, and I think that twelve Alphas concentrated in one location is going to hit my ability like a wall and the wall is going to be useful or it is going to be overwhelming and I do not know which yet.The team assembles around us.Bryn's eight. Soren. Me and Thalrion at the front. Caius and Dorian held back at the secondary position three kilometres behind us."The ability," Thalrion says quietly to me. "Can you hold twelve?""I

I find him at midnight.He is at the desk in the study and he looks up when I come in and whatever is on my face makes him put his pen down and push the chair back and say, "Come here," without hesitation.I cross the room and sit on his lap facing him, my knees either side of his thighs, and his hands come to my waist immediately, warm and certain, and we look at each other in the low light with tomorrow sitting between us like a third person in the room."I need to say something," I tell him."Say it," he replies."If something goes wrong tomorrow...""Nothing is going...""Thalrion." I put my hand flat on his chest. "Let me say it."His mouth closes. His jaw is tight but his eyes are open and waiting and I look at him and I say, "The last six weeks are the first six weeks of my life where I have felt like a person rather than something being hunted. You did that. The bakery. The way you say things and meant them. The way you find me when I need finding." I hold his gaze. "You made
