POV: Matteo

"Absolutely not," Rhys said, the moment I finished relaying what Dave had told me, his voice sharp with a fear I recognized instantly, the same protective edge that had curdled into something suffocating weeks ago. "You're going somewhere safe. Away from the estate entirely, if I can arrange it in time."

"No," I said, just as firm, standing my ground in the middle of his study while the late afternoon light slanted long and gold through the windows. "I'm not hiding somewhere safe wh

  • Ruthless Amnesia     Into the Fire

    POV: Rhys"Alpha, the line won't hold without you!" One of my own fighters shouted the warning from somewhere behind me, his voice barely cutting through the chaos, but I heard it clearly enough to understand exactly what it meant.I looked down at Matteo, curled tight against my chest, his breathing already ragged, sweat beading cold along his hairline despite the chill of the night air. Then I looked up, across the smoke-choked courtyard, toward the breach where my own warriors fought desperately to hold a line that was buckling under pressure no one had prepared for.I had seconds. Maybe less. The Ashgrove Alpha still stood somewhere behind me, his claim still ringing in my ears, impossible and devastating in equal measure, but none of it mattered right now, not against the terrified sound of Matteo gasping in my arms."Hold the line," I shouted back, my voice raw. "I'm getting him to the healers. Whatever it takes, hold until I return!"I didn't wait to see if the order landed. I

  • Ruthless Amnesia    What the Enemy Wants

    POV: Rhys"Matteo!" I reached him just as his knees buckled, catching him before he hit the ground, my blade clattering useless to the trampled grass as both my hands found his shoulders instead. "Matteo, look at me. Stay with me.""Something's wrong," he gasped, his face white, his hands pressed hard against his stomach. "Rhys, something's wrong, it hurts, it hurts so much—"I turned my head enough to see the Ashgrove Alpha still standing several feet away, unhurried, watching the scene unfold with an expression of cold, detached curiosity that made my blood boil hotter than any wound I'd taken tonight."What did you do to him," I snarled, pulling Matteo closer against my chest, my body instinctively shielding him from whatever threat this man still posed."I haven't touched him," the Alpha said, mild, almost amused by the accusation. "Whatever's happening, it's not my doing. Stress does strange things to a pregnancy this fragile, this early. Perhaps the shock of battle finally caugh

  • Ruthless Amnesia    The Breach

    POV: Matteo, with brief cuts to Rhys on the field the first time the narrative splits perspective mid-chapter, used only here to convey the scale and chaos of open conflict"The eastern wall's breached!" The shout cut through the chaos before I'd even registered the sound of splintering wood, staff scattering around me as I stood at the makeshift command table I'd set up in the courtyard, maps and supply lists spread out beneath my shaking hands."That's not possible," I said, my voice barely audible over the rising noise. "The scouts said thirty-six hours. It's been four.""They moved faster than any projection accounted for," the runner said, breathless, blood already streaking one side of his face. "The outer line is falling back. Lord Callahan's ordered a full retreat to the inner wall."I felt the ground tilt beneath me, every careful evacuation plan I'd spent the last several hours drafting suddenly rendered useless by a timeline that had collapsed entirely out from under us."G

"You're going somewhere safe. Away from the estate entirely, if I can arrange it in time.""No," I said, just as firm, standing my ground in the middle of his study while the late afternoon light slanted long and gold through the windows. "I'm not hiding somewhere safe while this entire crisis is aimed partly at the child I'm carrying. I want to be part of defending this pack, not tucked away where I can't help at all.""Matteo, a force is massing at our border that specifically wants our child as either a legal weapon or an actual prize to be taken," he said, his voice rising, desperation threading through the careful control he usually maintained. "I can't risk you being anywhere near the estate if this turns into open conflict.""And I can't sit somewhere use

  • Ruthless Amnesia    The Deal He Made

    ‎POV: Matteo"Tell me what that laugh meant," I said, pulling a chair close to the bars, close enough that Dave had to actually look at me instead of staring past me at the wall. "You weren't surprised. I need to understand why.""Rhys already asked me that," Dave said, flexing his bandaged hand slowly, wincing as the movement pulled at his wound. "I don't owe either of you anything more than what I've already given this council.""You owe this pack the truth," I said. "Whatever you think you still owe anyone else, a force is massing at our border right now, and if you have information that could save lives, withholding it makes you complicit in whatever happens next, on top of everything you've already done."Something flickered behind his eyes at that, guilt maybe, or exhaustion finally outweighing whatever careful self-preservation he'd been clinging to since the trial."I have nothing left to protect," he said quietly, more to himself than to me. "No title. No position. Your broth

  • Ruthless Amnesia    Uninvited

    POV: Rhys"Show me," I said, the moment the scout reached my study, still catching his breath from the hard ride back from the northern border.He spread a hastily sketched map across my desk, marks showing clustered positions along the tree line, far more organized than anything a handful of rogue scouts testing our patience would manage."Three formations," he said, tracing his finger along the marked positions. "Spaced evenly, moving in coordination with each other. Not random. Not opportunistic skirmishers looking for an easy target. This is staging, Alpha. I've seen enough border movement in my years to know the difference.""Staging for what," I said, though dread was already answering the question before he could finish forming it."An advance," he said. "A full force, by the look of their positioning. Whoever's leading this, they know exactly how to organize a pack for a real assault. This isn't the first time they've done this."I pressed my palm flat against the desk, my rib
