Chapter 142

Dante's call came in at six in the morning.

"He's moving," he said. "Private airfield, eastern edge of the county. Two vehicles left the eastern district safehouse twenty minutes ago. Heading there directly."

I was already reaching for Matthias's shoulder. He was awake before I finished.

We didn't go to the airfield.

Dante was clear about that, and Matthias didn't argue it the way he might have a week ago. "He's not coming back here," Dante said. "He's running. I have eyes on him. T

  • Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father    The Notebook

    Chapter 160 I found it at the back of the wardrobe. Not lost, I'd put it there deliberately, in the weeks after Marcus gave it to me, when everything it contained felt too large to sit with alongside everything else that was pressing. I'd wrapped it in a cloth and put it behind my winter things and told myself I'd come back to it when there was room. There was room now. I brought it downstairs to the library. Set it on the table between us. Matthias looked at it the way he looked at things that were going to require something from him, with complete attention and no performance of readiness. "Together," I said. "Together," he said. I opened it. Marcus's handwriting was precise and small. The kind of handwriting that packed maximum information into minimum space, the habit of someone who had spent decades taking notes in margins and on scraps of paper that needed to hold a great deal. The first section was chronological. Twenty-three years ago: the first documented instance o

  • Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father    Dante views

    Chapter 159The first night, he found her in the maintenance wing storage building before his team did.That was the thing he noted and kept. Not dramatic, she'd simply followed the depot logbook to the right building while his people were still pulling camera footage. But she'd been on the property for less than six hours and she'd moved through it like someone who knew the logic of spaces rather than their layout.He filed it under *useful* and kept watching.The second week he noticed she never moved through a room the same way twice.Not random. Deliberate variation, the kind that came from understanding that patterns were vulnerabilities. She cleaned Matthias's sitting room differently each visit, different starting point, different sequence, same result. He'd seen trained operatives who didn't think that carefully.He didn't mention it to Matthias.Not yet.He was still building his assessment.The assessment shifted on the night he found her at the supply room gate with her fat

  • Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father    Caden and Aria

    Chapter 158He texted me the morning after his release.Not a long message. Just can we talk? Once. Properly. I'll come wherever is easiest for you.I showed it to Matthias. He read it and handed my phone back and said nothing, which was his way of saying the decision was entirely mine and he wasn't going to make it easier or harder by having an opinion out loud.I texted back: The café on Brent Street. Thursday at eleven.The same café where I'd told him about Cassius. Neutral ground that had already held one honest conversation between us. It felt right to end things where a different kind of beginning had happened.He was there before me.Same corner table. Coffee he wasn't drinking yet. The plain clothes he'd been wearing since his release, nothing announcing anything about who his father was or what his name used to mean.He looked up when I came in and there was none of the old complexity in it, none of the mate bond's pull, none of the hunger, none of the entitlement that had o

  • Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father    Caden's Release

    Chapter 157The paperwork came through on a Thursday.Dante brought it to Matthias's office in the morning with the neutral expression he used when something had multiple layers and he was leaving the layers for Matthias to sort through rather than editorialising.Matthias read it. Set it down. Looked at the window for a moment.Then he called the holding facility and confirmed the terms.The charges had been reduced through a process that took three weeks and involved more legal machinery than I'd known existed for internal Lycan proceedings. The estate assault. The attempted abduction of Elena. The financial crimes connected to the rogue territory operation. All of it real, all of it documented, all of it reducible, in the specific legal arithmetic of a system that valued cooperation, because Caden had given testimony against Cassius's operatives that no one else could have provided.He had been inside the operation from a different angle.He had seen things the external surveillanc

  • Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father    The family question

    Chapter 156I found Dorian in the garden after Kane left.He was standing near the hedgerow on the east side, not doing anything in particular. Just standing in the morning light with his hands in his pockets, looking at the estate grounds with the specific quality of someone trying to understand a place they'd arrived at after a very long journey.I walked out to him.He heard me coming and turned, and the careful hope in his expression when he saw it was me, not Dante, not Matthias, just me choosing to come find him, was something I had to look at directly and let be what it was."Walk with me," I said.Neither of us spoke for a few minutes.The grounds were quiet in the morning way they were quiet, staff moving in the distance, the perimeter lights still on from the night, the gardening crew not yet arrived. I walked at a pace that wasn't rushing anywhere and Dorian matched it, and I thought about what I wanted to say and how to say it honestly without saying it unkindly.There was

  • Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father    Alexander Kane again

    Chapter 155Kane arrived the following morning.Not because we'd called him urgently, Matthias had sent a message the previous evening, measured and factual, that Dorian Voss had appeared at the estate gates and was now inside. Kane had read it, apparently, while eating breakfast in the northern territory house he used when he was in the region, and had driven down without being asked.That was Kane.He came in through the main entrance at nine, declined coffee, and stood in the sitting room looking at Dorian Voss with the particular quality of a man running a piece of information against a long-held file.Dorian looked back at him steadily."I know your name," Kane said finally."I know yours," Dorian said."Not from anything recent," Kane said. "From twenty years ago. The circle your wife was part of. The founding bloodline research." He tilted his head slightly. "You were the one who was supposed to be at the meeting the night the fire happened.""Yes," Dorian said. Quietly."But y

    Chapter 51The night air hit my skin the moment I stepped outside.Cool. Sharp. The kind of cold that was supposed to clear your head, but didn't quite manage it.I walked down the stone path away from the main house with my arms wrapped around myself and my thoughts running faster than I wanted th

  • Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father    War

    Chapter 50I walked out first.That was intentional.In my first life, I had been the one left standing in rooms while other people made decisions about what happened next. Waiting. Hoping. Reacting to whatever came at me instead of moving toward something I'd chosen. I was done with that version

  • Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father    Half Measures

    Chapter 49The silence between us had weight.Matthias stood a few steps back with the particular stillness of someone who had made a decision and was holding it in place by force. The distance was deliberate. Calculated. Exactly enough space to stay in control and not one inch more.His eyes hadn

    Chapter 48The kiss didn't feel like the others.Those had been decisions. Deliberate. Contained. Both of us were aware of exactly how far we were letting it go and where the edges were.This one had no edges.His hand at the back of my neck and his mouth on mine and the full weight of everything w
