Rejected For My Curves. Desired By The War Alpha Chapter 96: No Room To Refuse
The tracking group left at first light.Three wolves. Distance only. No contact. Asher repeated the order until even the walls could have recited it. Find the new line. Learn the destination. Come back.The camp did not settle after they were gone. Inner screens doubled. Watch rotations shortened. People moved like they expected the next blow to come through the gate instead of from a distant ring.I stayed in the command space because standing still in the yard made the raw bond feel louder. Ronan stayed too. Wren came and went with reports that all said the same thing. Quiet walls. Quiet east. Too quiet.Sable entered near midmorning with dust on her boots. “Outer posts are clean. No sign of a turn toward us. Whatever they are doing, they are doing it on that new line.”Asher looked up from the map. “That does not make me feel better.”“It should not,” she said. “A force that just abandoned a prepared ring and did not come here immediately is a force that has another plan already in

The first report from the border stones came before dawn.Sable brought the watcher in herself. The man still had the night on his clothes and no patience for soft delivery.“The frames are down,” he said. “Both of them. Not broken by us. They dropped them. Packed what they could carry and left the ring before the turn of the night. No seating. No light. They are moving.”Asher’s head came up. “Direction.”“South of the border line, then east. Not toward us. Not back to the river fold. New line.”Garrick had been awake for the report and looked older in the lamplight. “If they abandoned a prepared ring after the refusal, the souring took. At least enough to make that ground useless to them.”Wren stood near the table, arms folded. “Or they decided the ground was compromised and moved the work somewhere we have not marked yet.”“Both can be true,” Ronan said. He had not left the command space since the threshold. The bond between us still felt raw, like skin that had been burned and no

Garrick’s mark put the threshold stone closer to the camp than any of us liked.It sat in a shallow cut of ground west of the outer markers, half buried, older than the walls, easy to miss if you did not know what the cuts on its face meant. By the time the light started to thin, Sable’s people had cleared the approach and set a thin screen in the trees. Not a full defense. A way out.Asher walked the ground once and hated it on sight. “If this goes wrong, the distance to the walls is not enough.”“It is more distance than the border stones give us,” Sable said. “That is the point.”Wren stood with her arms folded tight. “I still do not like baiting their attention this close to the people we are supposed to be protecting.”“I do not like it either,” I said. “I also do not like the version where they finish a circuit on their own ground and then come collect what they need.”Ronan checked the stone’s face with Garrick’s scrap in his hand. The bond sat low and tight, already aware of t

We left before the night had fully settled into itself.No speeches at the gate. Asher watched us go with a face that had already accepted the cost and hated it anyway. Wren stood beside him, good arm tight across her body, and did not waste words she had already used.Sable stayed on the walls. The group that walked with me was smaller than the last one and harder in the eyes. Ronan. Two trackers. Three fighters who still had clean movement left. Oren should have been in a cot. He was present anyway, bandaged and silent.The trackers set the line west.“They have a lead,” the first one said under her breath. “Not a long one if they stopped to manage two frames. We can cut the angle through the dry creek bed and meet their path before the border stones.”“Do it,” I said. “No lights. No extra sound.”We moved.The bond sat awake between Ronan and me, still scraped from the river fold. Every so often it pulled as if the damaged stone ahead had not forgotten the shape of me.Ronan matche

The report landed harder than the last attack had. They were not coming to the walls. They had packed the cracked slab, joined with a cleaner second group, and turned toward the old border stones. Two working pieces. A deeper ring. Midday at the latest if their pace held. The council room stayed quiet for a long time after the tracker finished speaking. Asher broke it first. “We do not have the strength to meet a force that size on open ground and still keep these walls standing.” Sable nodded once. “Distance eyes can stay on them. A full strike group cannot. Not after the last two returns.” Wren stood with her good arm tight against her body. “So we watch them seat another circuit and hope it fails on its own.” “No,” Garrick said from the cot. His voice was rough but clear. “We stop treating every new ring as a problem we solve by throwing the same bloodline at it. That is what the title wants. It learns from every break. The river fold already proved that.” Ronan leaned agains

The medical building filled faster than the reports did. Oren was taken first. The rest of the wounded followed. Two names stayed missing on the slate by the door. No one wrote them as dead yet. No one wrote them as coming back either. Asher closed the door of the small command room once the critical people were inside. Wren. Sable. Garrick on his cot. Ronan was standing because sitting still seemed beyond him. Me. “Say it clean,” Asher said. “We reached the river fold before they finished seating it,” I said. “The working piece was already in the ring. We broke the frame and cracked the slab. The light started and then failed. We lost two on the way out. They know I was on the stone when they tried to take it.” Garrick’s face tightened. “Tried to take how?” “It pulled through the bond. Completion, not resistance. I stepped off. That is when the seating dropped.” Ronan spoke from the wall. “If she had stayed on it a breath longer I am not sure we would have gotten her off.” Wr
