  • Rejected and Pregnant with Alpha Twins   Chapter 132

    ~Selene's POV~She hears Asha before she sees her.Not a sound of distress and not a demand, the specific deliberate syllable Asha has been producing since the morning she named the light in the oldest pack dialect, the sound she makes when she has something to say to something that has caught her full attention. Selene follows it from the east wing staircase to the entrance hall and stops in the doorway.Asha is in her bouncer seat in front of the ancestor portraits.The seat has been positioned at the precise distance from the wall that allows a clear sightline to the full row of them, the long line of Blackwell faces going back four generations, dark hair and strong jawlines and a collective expression across all of them that suggests they considered the painter's time less valuable than their own. Asha is facing them with the focused unhurried attention she gives to things she has decided deserve her full assessment. She is working her way through them left to right at her own pac

    ~Selene's POV~Miriam finds the terrace on her own.She identifies it in the second week after the ceremony as her preferred afternoon position, the stone terrace off the manor's upper east side that looks down over the formal garden and the rougher garden beyond it. She brings a chair out there without asking anyone, which is consistent with how Miriam does most things she has decided are right. Today Selene is beside her with tea, both of them in the particular comfortable quiet they developed in Silvermere when they were living in the same small space and learned that filling silence was less useful than sitting in it.Caden has Lior in the east garden below.She can track Lior's position by the sounds he produces during serious outdoor research, which are louder than his indoor research by a margin that reflects his assessment of the additional space available. He has been down there thirty minutes. He is making thorough use of it.His investigation proceeds in the systematic mann

  • Rejected and Pregnant with Alpha Twins   Chapter 130

    ~Selene's POV~Vera leads her through a corridor she has not been in before.It connects to the main Pack Hall building through a door off the records chamber, old stone and low ceiling, the kind of passage that exists because the building grew in stages and the stages needed joining. At the end of it is another door that requires Vera's council key and a specific sequence she performs without explaining. The room beyond is the size of a generous study, shelved on three walls floor to ceiling, the shelves holding bound documents and archive boxes and a smaller number of sealed containers that look older than everything else. The smell is dry and faintly mineral. Things kept carefully for a long time.Dr. Amara is already at the table with three documents open in front of her.Vera says: "The Silverborn archive. Elder council restricted collection. Not accessed for Silverborn guidance purposes in approximately sixty years." A pause. "You are the first Silverborn to sit at this table in

    ~Selene's POV~Petra has been in Cresthaven for three weeks.The original plan, to the extent there was a plan, was that she would come for the ceremony and stay for some time afterward, the length of that time left deliberately unspecified because Petra does not make plans she does not intend to keep and she was not yet certain how long she intended to stay. She stayed through the ceremony and through the week after it and through the following week, during which she located the event coordination firm in the south district by some method she did not explain, went to their office once without telling anyone, and came back to the manor with the particular expression she has when she has done something she is satisfied with and is waiting for the right moment to produce it.She produces it on a Wednesday evening.The twins are in the east wing with Miriam. Caden is at Pack Hall for a late call with the Hollowcrest delegation about the alliance mid-year review. The kitchen is quiet, the

  • Rejected and Pregnant with Alpha Twins   Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Eight

    ~Selene's POV~The first full month ends on a Thursday.She knows this because she has been tracking it, not obsessively and not with any particular milestone in mind, simply the way she tracks most things that matter, with quiet consistent attention and a private record that she reviews when the information is useful. One month of joint governance, documented in the Pack Hall records under the new category the records officer created, four weeks of decisions made jointly and filed under both their names and cross-referenced in the council archive the way Vera specified when she oversaw the formal amendment.She reviews the month from her desk in the east wing sitting room during the twins' afternoon nap.Three decisions stand out.The first is the territorial resource dispute from the second week, a long-standing disagreement between two mid-pack families over access to the northern grazing allocation that had been deferred through three previous governance cycles without resolution.

  • Rejected and Pregnant with Alpha Twins   Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Seven

    ~Selene's POV~She finds him on a Tuesday morning.She is coming down from the east wing at seven-forty with Lior on her hip, Lior having concluded his pre-breakfast commentary on the ceiling of the upper hallway and redirected his attention to the question of what is happening on the ground floor, which requires proximity to the ground floor to properly investigate. She comes down the main staircase and turns toward the kitchen and she sees the entrance hall as she passes it and she stops.Dax is at the entrance.He is standing to the left of the main door in the position that offers the clearest sightline to both the door itself and the hallway leading to the main corridor, which is also the position he occupied at the Silvermere apartment building entrance for the better part of a year. He is in the same jacket he always wears. He has a coffee from somewhere that is not the manor kitchen, which means he has been somewhere this morning before he was here. He looks at her when she st

  • Rejected and Pregnant with Alpha Twins   Chapter Two

    ~Selene’s POV~I don't sleep.I lie on my side of the bed — our bed — and stare at the ceiling while Caden's side remains cold and untouched. I heard him leave again at midnight, the front door closing with a finality that vibrated through the walls.I don't ask myself where he went.I already know

    ~Selene’s POV~"Congratulations, Luna Ashford. You're going to be a mother."Dr. Priya Noel's voice is still ringing in my ears as I step out of the private clinic and into the pale afternoon light.I stop on the pavement, pressing one hand flat against the cold stone wall to steady myself, the oth

    ~Caden’s POV~Four months.Four months since she walked out of this building and I have done nothing but work, manage, control, and refuse to think about the precise way she looked when the bond broke — the colour that left her face, the sound she didn't quite manage to suppress.I spin my phone sl

    ~Selene’s POV~The rejection is scheduled for nine o'clock.I know because Caden's message at six in the morning is clinical and precise, as if he is confirming a conference call.Pack Hall, third floor, nine a.m. Come alone.My mother reads the message over my shoulder and says nothing.
