The forged transfer was still wet enough to prove the enemy had written its alibi during the attack. Lorelai left the original page beneath glass in the granary office.

“No one removes it,” she said. “No one folds it. Two guards remain at the door, and neither touches the evidence.”

Arthur stood beyond the burned threshold with Tomas between him and Karl. Smoke clung to his clothes. The clean dressing beneath his coat made his earlier flight look more pla

  • Reborn Before the Mark: I Married His Wolfless Uncle   Chapter 88 — Without Karl Present

    Caelan had insisted on hearing her answer beyond Karl’s reach. Lorelai took him to Greyhaven’s western gate and gave it before he could rebuild the question.“Yes.”Caelan’s expression stayed fixed. Either he did not believe her, or he trusted the bond, Karl’s scent, and Greyhaven’s walls more than her own words. Lorelai shut the document case against her chest.“Come to the gate.”Karl looked up at once. Caelan glanced past her toward him.“Alone"”“Yes.”The bond-scar tightened at the satisfaction crossing Caelan’s face. Lorelai ignored the reflex and turned to Karl.“Remain in the courtyard.”Caelan swallowed.“No guards within listening distance either,” she added.Karl’s wolf rose close. No command shaped it. Fear.The western gate stood within Greyhaven’s walls, yet the road b

  • Reborn Before the Mark: I Married His Wolfless Uncle   Chapter 87 — The Second Refusal

    Caelan turned her refusal into a public test. Lorelai refused to let Greyhaven stop working for it.She gathered the weapons-distribution tablet, the food-allocation seals, and the ring of storehouse keys. Then she walked into the courtyard.Greyhaven’s representatives already worked among the armory steps, supply carts, and weapons tables. If Caelan wanted a public answer, he would receive one while Greyhaven continued moving.Not while everyone stood still to witness his pain. Lorelai climbed onto the armory platform.“Continue distribution,” she called.The quartermaster lifted the next spear from the rack.“Eastern watch.”A fighter stepped forward, surrendered his damaged weapon, and received the replacement under a recorded number.At the second table, Maria divided food packets among patrols. The count exposed no private stock, unmarked weapons, or command dependent on one man’s memory

  • Reborn Before the Mark: I Married His Wolfless Uncle   Chapter 86 — Protection With Locks

    The decree looked like rescue until Lorelai read who owned every lock. Caelan returned to the administrative office before noon carrying the sealed Ashborne order and placed it beside the grain-allocation tablets as though both belonged to the same kind of authority.“This is not another proposal,” he said. “It is a formal protection decision.”Karl stood near the open doorway. He had entered only with Lorelai’s permission and now stood silent against the doorframe, well clear of her desk. Caelan noticed him immediately.Then Caelan caught Karl’s scent on Lorelai’s unchanged coat. His wolf pushed close enough to sharpen his eyes.“You did not change your coat.”Lorelai continued sorting the morning supply tokens.“You did not change your argument.”Caelan broke the Ashborne seal. The decree unfolded across the visible accounts. Moonridge residence under protected status

  • Reborn Before the Mark: I Married His Wolfless Uncle   Chapter 84 — Even Without Him

    Caelan offered Moonridge’s future Luna title as though it could undo Lorelai’s choice. Lorelai closed the legal challenge beneath her hand.“No.”Caelan searched her face.“You did not consider it.”“I considered it before you finished speaking.”Karl stayed near the administrative-office door and never interrupted. The wolf he held under control still reached Caelan’s senses.His gaze moved past Lorelai, then back to the faint trace of Karl still clinging to her coat. Jealousy showed in every line of his face.“You should change before we continue.”Lorelai looked down at herself.“My coat is clean.”“That is not what I meant.”“I know.”Karl’s hand flexed at his side. He did not move closer. Lorelai gathered the storehouse keys, administrative seal, and morning inspection tablets.&ldq

  • Reborn Before the Mark: I Married His Wolfless Uncle   Chapter 83 — The Offer to Return

    Caelan waited inside Greyhaven’s administrative office with Moonridge’s legal challenge sealed beneath his hand. A clerk’s receipt mark already crossed the lower edge.He had not come to repeat an offer; he had opened a case against the validity of her marriage. Lorelai had refused both the command hall and Karl’s rooms.Caelan would dispute her choice inside the office Greyhaven had granted her independently.Morning light crossed the account boards, storehouse keys, and administrative seal behind Lorelai’s desk. Caelan took in the office before he faced her.Karl entered behind Lorelai but stayed near the door, neither beside her chair nor between her and Caelan. Caelan’s gaze moved over Lorelai.She had not returned home after leaving Karl’s command office; his faint scent still clung to her coat. Caelan caught it. His nostrils flared, and his mouth flattened.“You spent the night with him.&

  • Reborn Before the Mark: I Married His Wolfless Uncle   Chapter 82 — Hold Me Without Promises

    Karl’s conditional claim—my wife, if you will still choose to be—followed Lorelai out of the council chamber.She did not answer it. By afternoon, they were inspecting the damaged northern barrier together.They worked as administrator and commander, not as husband and wife. Even so, the narrow wall kept forcing Karl’s shoulder against hers as they followed the same line of stones.The sabotage had weakened three support posts beneath the outer walkway. Workers had replaced the visible braces, but Lorelai crouched beside the lowest beam and found damp soil packed against its base.“This will shift during the next heavy rain.”Karl knelt beside her. His knee pressed against hers. Neither moved.“The drainage trench should pull water east,” he said.“It did before someone filled it.”Lorelai pushed one gloved hand into the mud. Beneath the loose soil, her fingers struck
