"Get in the car," the man said quietly.

His voice was calm, but the command beneath it was absolute. Not a request. An order from someone used to being obeyed without question.

I didn't move. My eyes were fixed on the silver gleam between the trees. On the shapes moving in coordinated silence. On the predators that were neither pack nor civilized.

Rogues.

Wolves who had been cast out or chosen to leave their packs. Who lived without laws or loyalty. Who hunted in the spaces between territories,

  • Rejected Luna of the Mafia Alpha   CHAPTER 65: WHAT THE FIRST KNOWS

    Dante kept the letter for one hour before he called everyone to the war room.Not because he needed an hour to decide what to do with it. Because he needed an hour to find out everything findable about the signature before walking into a room full of people and presenting a new threat before he had any context to offer alongside it.By the time the hour was up Senna had been brought in from the fragment wolves outside. My grandmother had been retrieved from the east room. Adrian was present. Mara stood at the door.I sat at the table.My power was still rebuilding. Still low enough that I could feel the specific gap between where I was and where I normally operated. It was not nothing. I had integrated death even at reduced capacity. But reduced was a word that mattered when new information suggested new threats were interested in the Silver Queen.Dante placed the letter in the center of the table."Read it," he said. "Then we talk."Everyone read it.Senna went very still when she r

  • Rejected Luna of the Mafia Alpha   CHAPTER 64: MORNING AFTER

    I woke on the floor of my room.Not the bed. The floor. Someone had put a blanket over me and a pillow under my head and left a glass of water within reach but had apparently decided moving me to the bed was more disruption than rest was worth.I remembered getting inside the estate. Remembered Dante's arm around me and the stairs being more effort than they should have been and my grandmother's voice somewhere behind us saying something about Cael and where to take him and what he would need. After that the details became soft and unreliable.I lay still for a moment and took inventory.Everything hurt. Not sharply. The deep settled ache of a body that had been asked to do something at the absolute edge of its capacity and had done it and was now presenting the full invoice. My hands were stiff. My eyes felt swollen from the inside. The power that normally sat at a high baseline inside me was quiet in a way it had never been before. Present but reduced. Like a river after a drought h

  • Rejected Luna of the Mafia Alpha   CHAPTER 63: THE REACH

    The bond opened.Not gradually. Not the careful managed increments of two people maintaining useful distance from each other's inner lives. All at once. Every wall Dante had built and every wall I had built going down simultaneously because tonight was not a situation where half measures kept anyone alive.I felt him.All of him.The seventeen year old who had watched his father fall and built an empire on the promise of never being that helpless again. The years of careful distance from anything that could be taken to create that kind of loss. The empire itself. Every decision and calculation and coldly managed risk that had gone into constructing something strong enough to protect what the seventeen year old had not been able to protect.And underneath all of it. Underneath the empire and the control and the pragmatic intelligence that made rooms feel smaller when he walked in.The specific warmth he had been calling practical and strategic and everything except what it actually was

  • Rejected Luna of the Mafia Alpha   CHAPTER 62: THE WORDS BEFORE WAR

    We met him at the estate boundary.Not inside. Not from behind walls and remaining wards. Outside. On open ground where the last ward line had been before Cain dissolved it two days ago. My grandmother had argued against this. Dante's wolves had looked uncomfortable with the decision. But the plan required proximity and proximity required going to where he was rather than waiting for him to come to where we were.So we went out.Dante and I. Side by side. The mate bond steady between us like a rope two people hold between them when one is crossing uncertain ground.Behind us at the estate perimeter every wolf we had was positioned. Waiting. Holding.Cain stood at the tree line.I had expected something monstrous. Something visibly wrong. The tracks outside the ward had suggested a form that was not quite wolf and not quite anything else and I had built an image in my mind of something distorted. Something that wore its three centuries of consuming the way old injuries reshape a body o

  • Rejected Luna of the Mafia Alpha   CHAPTER 61: THE LAST HOURS

    The final training session lasted forty minutes.Not because forty minutes was enough. Because my grandmother stopped it at forty minutes and told me to rest."You are trained," she said. "Everything additional you attempt now takes from what you need tonight. The body does not improve in the last hours before a major effort. It only depletes."She said it with the authority of someone who had learned this lesson the hard way at some point in her long life and was passing the lesson forward without requiring me to repeat the mistake.I stopped. I drank the water she handed me. I sat on the courtyard bench and let my power settle back to its resting state. Which was considerably higher than it had been six weeks ago. The baseline had risen with every training session. The floor of what I carried now was higher than the ceiling of what I had managed when exile began.That was something.My grandmother sat beside me."I heard your father's voice once," I said. "Thirty years ago. Before y

  • Rejected Luna of the Mafia Alpha   CHAPTER 60: WHAT SENNA KNEW

    Morning came grey and cold.I was already awake when the light changed. I had been awake for an hour before that. Lying still in the dark with the mate bond warm and steady from the direction of the chair where Dante had spent the night.He was gone when I finally sat up. The chair was empty. A blanket that had not been there when I fell asleep was folded over the armrest. He had covered me at some point in the night and left before I woke and said nothing about either thing.I sat with that for a moment.Then I got up. Because today was not a day for sitting.Senna was waiting in the corridor outside my room.Not pacing. Not anxious. Just standing with her back against the wall and her hands folded and her dark eyes carrying the specific look of someone who had been deciding something all night and had arrived at a conclusion they were not entirely comfortable with."You held something back yesterday," I said."Yes," she said. "Walk with me."We went to the small sitting room at the

  • Rejected Luna of the Mafia Alpha   CHAPTER 30: THE COUNCIL GATHERS

    The neutral territory was an old estate on the border between pack lands.I had never seen it before. Omegas were not invited to council meetings. We were barely acknowledged as wolves worthy of political consideration.But today, I was the entire reason the council had been called.Dante's car pul

  • Rejected Luna of the Mafia Alpha   CHAPTER 29: THE PRICE OF RAGE

    The training intensified after the manifestation.Dante pushed me harder than before. Longer sessions. More complex exercises. Testing the limits of my new strength and the fragility of my control."Again," he commanded as I struggled to lift a weight that should have been impossible for my frame.

    "We are not staying to fight twenty elite hunters," Dante said flatly. "That is suicide.""For normal wolves, yes." My grandmother moved through the cabin with surprising speed for her age, gathering items I couldn't identify. "But you are not normal wolves. She is Silvermoon. You are Mafia Alpha.

    "You are lying," I said.But even as I spoke, I knew he wasn't. Adrian's expression held too much genuine fear. Too much urgency."I wish I was," he replied. "But I heard my father talking to the council elders. They mentioned her. By name. Lyanna Silvermoon. Your mother's mother. The last true Sil
