Rejected For My Curves. Desired By The War Alpha Chapter 51: A Memory Not Her Own
Wren gasped back into herself all at once, stumbling forward, and I caught her before she could hit the ground.“I’ve got you. I’ve got you, breathe.”She gulped air like she’d forgotten how, eyes wide and unfocused for several long seconds before finally settling on my face.“Briar.”“I’m here. You’re safe. What happened?”“I don’t know. I don’t know what that was.”“Take your time. Nobody’s rushing you.”“I can’t stop shaking.”“That’s alright. Shake as long as you need to.”Garrick knelt beside us, expression grave. “Tell us what you saw. As much as you can remember, while it’s still fresh.”Wren pressed a shaking hand to her forehead. “Fire. So much fire. Screaming, everywhere, all around me, except it wasn’t me. I was watching it happen to someone else, through someone else’s eyes.”“What kind of fire,” I asked. “A battlefield. A building.”“Everywhere. Like an entire camp burning at once. Wolves running, falling, and none of them getting back up.”“None of them at all.”“None. I

“You’re going to laugh at me,” Wren said, rolling her shoulders like the motion might shake loose some of her nerves.“I’m not going to laugh at you.”“You laughed at me falling off a horse when I was nine.”“That was different. You deserved that one.”“I did not deserve that.”“You absolutely did. You’d been bragging about your riding for a week straight.”“That’s not the same as deserving to be laughed at.”“Agree to disagree. Are you actually nervous, or just stalling?”“Both, if I’m honest.”Garrick waited at the center of the training yard, patient in the way only someone who’d trained hundreds of nervous beginners could manage.“Ready when you are,” he said.“I don’t feel ready,” Wren admitted. “I feel like I’m about to embarrass myself in front of my sister and a stranger.”“I’m not a stranger. I’m someone who’s watched more people fumble their first real attempt at this than you’d believe. Nobody starts gracefully.”“Did Briar start gracefully?”“Briar started by throwing a Pr

“Not for a long time,” I repeated. “How long is not a long time, Mother. Give me actual years.”“Since before you were born.”The words landed heavier than I expected, settling into the room like something physical.“Before I was born. That means every decision I thought was yours, every consequence I’ve spent my whole life absorbing as your choices, wasn’t fully yours at all.”“Some of it was mine. I want to be clear about that. I made choices within the space I was given. I didn’t have as much space as either of us assumed.”“That’s a careful way to describe losing control of your own pack.”“It’s the honest way. I’ve stopped having the energy to phrase things carefully tonight.”“Start from the beginning. All of it. I’m done accepting fragments.”She took a slow breath, gathering herself in a way I’d never once seen her need to before tonight.“The oath,” she said. “The alliance with Voss. The silence clause. All of it traces back to a threat I’ve been managing since before you wer

The news reached Ashguard before I’d even finished laying out everything Callum and I had found.“My Prince.” A messenger, breathless, cutting through the study door without waiting to be announced. “The operative sent to Kade territory. He’s dead. Poisoned, from what the surviving reports say, before he could be properly questioned.”Callum and I exchanged a look.“Poisoned by whom,” I asked.“Unknown. The assumption is a failsafe, triggered on capture.”“That’s not an assumption. That’s a certainty, given everything we’ve already found.”“Should I inform the Queen,” the messenger asked.“I’ll inform her myself.”“She’s already been told, my Prince. A separate courier reached her moments before I came to you.”“Then she already knows more than she’s told either of us tonight.”The messenger left, and I made my way toward my mother’s study, no longer willing to wait for a convenient moment to have this conversation.I found her already in motion, pacing rather than seated, a stack of

“He won’t talk,” the guard said, meeting me outside the holding cell. “Not to any of us. He asked for you by name.”“Me specifically.”“Said he’d only speak to Briar Hale. Nobody else.”“How is he? Physically.”“Stable, for now. The healer patched what she could. He’s still weak.”I exchanged a glance with Asher, who nodded once, tight and reluctant.“I’ll be right outside,” he said. “One word and I’m through that door.”“I know.”“I don’t like this.”“Neither do I. I still need to hear whatever he’s willing to say.”The cell was small, bare stone, a single lantern casting long shadows across the assassin’s bound and bloodied form. He looked up when I entered, something unreadable behind his eyes.“You came,” he said.“You asked for me. Here I am.”“I wasn’t sure you would.”“I want answers. That’s worth showing up for.”“Most people in your position would have sent someone else. Keep their distance.”“I’m not most people. You’ve probably noticed that by now.”He studied me for a long

The alarm bell tore through the night before I’d even fully woken, sharp and relentless, the kind of sound that meant something had already gone wrong.“Inner perimeter,” Asher shouted, already moving past my door, half dressed and fully alert. “They’re inside.”“Inside. How. The outer sentries never sounded a warning.”“I don’t know. Move.”I didn’t need telling twice. I grabbed my blade and ran, the corridor outside already filled with wolves scrambling into some formation, panic and training fighting for control of the same bodies.“Report,” Asher barked at the first sentry we passed.“Two intruders confirmed, maybe three. They came through the eastern maintenance gap, the one under repair. Nobody was watching it closely enough.”“Casualties.”“Unknown. Chaos everywhere.”“How did they get past the outer ring without a single horn sounding,” Asher demanded.“They didn’t cross the outer ring, Alpha. That’s the point. The maintenance gap sits inside it. They were already close before
