Chapter 188 — Grant Doesn’t Know Why

作者: Avery Monroe
last update 公開日: 2026-09-12 01:43:16

Grant knew something had happened while he was outside because Hallie carried too much emotion for the quiet room. It was sharper than fear and too controlled for panic. He felt it as soon as he came close enough, but he did not know why. Saevren might know more. That was what made the question dangerous.

His brother had the revised suspension clause open in front of him, but his attention was on Hallie. She slid the clause toward Grant when he came close enough to read it.

“This works.”

  • Reborn After Rejection: I Chose the Alpha Everyone Feared   Chapter 191 — He Wants What I Feel

    Saevren stayed one more day. He said it was to confirm when the first authorized passage could be tested without colliding with Cedar Draw’s ordinary traffic.Hallie believed him.She also knew the compact was no longer the only reason he had not left.By midmorning she was outside with Caleb near the southern approach, checking whether the path Grant had chosen would stay clear if shelter traffic increased. Saevren came because Everen would use the route.The work should have been dull. Mostly, it was.Caleb stopped where the path narrowed. “If two groups arrive together, somebody waits here.”Hallie looked at the ground and then at the brush twenty yards back. “Too exposed here. Too easy to hide there.”“So where?”She stepped back to the wider stretch and pointed. “Here. Visible from the watch point, far enough from the shelter approach that nobody mistakes one group for the other.”Caleb considered it. “That works.”Relief replaced the irritation that had risen while she studied t

  • Reborn After Rejection: I Chose the Alpha Everyone Feared   Chapter 190 — The Compact

    Hallie read the final version once from beginning to end.Then she set it down.Grant sat at one end of the table. Saevren sat opposite him. Caleb stood near the door with the route map folded under one arm.No one needed to hear every clause again.They had already fought over the details that mattered.Hallie touched the first line.“Authorized Vael only.”Saevren nodded.“Identified before entry.”Grant added, “And the person who arrives has to match the authorization.”“Yes.”Hallie moved to the conduct limit.“No hostile activity through Cedar Draw. No recruiting, planning, or using passage to position anyone for an attack.”Saevren’s expression stayed neutral.“Agreed.”Then the line that had nearly broken the negotiation.“Cedar Draw may suspend passage for a defined breach or a specific safety condition affecting the route.”“Not general fear,” Saevren said.“No.”“Not political pressure from another pack.”“No.”Grant looked at him.“And not a promise that the route stays ope

  • Reborn After Rejection: I Chose the Alpha Everyone Feared   Chapter 189 — If I Asked

    Hallie expected Saevren to return to the compact. He did, and for nearly an hour the work stayed impersonal. They cut one repeated condition from the suspension language and narrowed the notice requirement until Cedar Draw was responsible only for what it could verify. Grant moved between the room and the boundary checks. Caleb carried the revised copy outside.Then Saevren put down his pen.Hallie looked up. “Whatever you’re about to ask, make it worth interrupting the work.”His brows lifted. “I haven’t asked anything.”“You have the face.”“What face?”“The one that means the document is about to stop being the subject.”A faint smile touched him. He did not move closer.“If I asked whether you would ever allow me to absorb one emotion from you, would you answer?”Hallie went still. Grant was out at the boundary, which made the question feel even more deliberately addressed to her rather than staged for anyone else.There was no invitation in his posture. He had not reached for her

    Grant knew something had happened while he was outside because Hallie carried too much emotion for the quiet room. It was sharper than fear and too controlled for panic. He felt it as soon as he came close enough, but he did not know why. Saevren might know more. That was what made the question dangerous.His brother had the revised suspension clause open in front of him, but his attention was on Hallie. She slid the clause toward Grant when he came close enough to read it.“This works.”Hallie gave a small nod. Saevren said, “For now.” Grant gave him a flat look.“That is what drafts are.”Hallie almost laughed. The change in her emotion reached Grant instantly, and Saevren noticed too. The old comparison rose before Grant could stop it. Saevren still could not know Hallie’s thoughts or the cause, but he could distinguish more texture and intensity than Grant could.More of whatever had happened before Grant walked back into the room. Grant hated the impulse that followed. Ask Saevre

    Saevren stopped in the middle of reading. Hallie noticed because he had been moving through the Safe-Passage draft quickly, one line at a time, marking only the places he meant to challenge. Then his pen went still.“What?”His eyes lifted to her. Grant was outside with Caleb checking the revised boundary marker. The meeting room was quiet except for the pages between them. Saevren said, “How old are you?” Hallie’s hand tightened around her own pen.“Twenty-two.”“I know.”“Then why ask?”He leaned back slightly.“Because sometimes you do not feel twenty-two.”The room seemed to narrow. Hallie kept her face still. Saevren watched her reaction. Not aggressively. That almost made it worse.She had learned enough about his attention to know he was not only watching what she showed on her face. He was perceiving something beneath it.“What does twenty-two feel like?” she asked.Saevren’s mouth curved faintly.“That is a fair objection.”“Answer it anyway.”His amusement disappeared.“You

  • Reborn After Rejection: I Chose the Alpha Everyone Feared   Chapter 186 — The Safe-Passage Terms

    Hallie put the blank page between Grant and Saevren.“No speeches,” she said. “What does Everen actually need?”Saevren’s mouth moved.Grant did not smile.“Passage,” Saevren said. “For identified Vael travelers and emissaries moving through Cedar Draw toward agreed neutral routes.”“Not settlement.”“No.”“Not standing access.”“No.”Grant rested both hands on the table.“And Cedar Draw does not guarantee anything beyond Cedar Draw.”Saevren’s gaze shifted to him.“A corridor is only useful if the people using it can expect to survive it.”“Then Everen should negotiate with whoever controls the rest of the corridor.”A beat.Hallie stepped in before the sentence became a challenge.“Grant’s limit is territorial. Not personal.”Saevren looked at her.“I know.”“Good. Then keep it there.”The room settled.Hallie looked at Grant.“What does Cedar Draw need before an unfamiliar Vael traveler reaches the boundary?”“Enough information to know the person standing there is the person Evere
