Sold to the Beast Alpha After My Rejection CHAPTER 32: The Alpha's Hands
Nerissa POVHis hand was warm. That was the thing I focused on first. The way it turned over slowly beneath mine and closed around my fingers.He had chosen to hold my hand.He turned his hand over and held mine and the choice of it sat in my chest with a weight that had nothing to do with the storm outside.We stayed like that for a long time.The fire burned down slowly,the storm didn't quiet. If anything it deepened, settling into the particular sustained violence of weather that found its rhythm and intended to keep it through the night. Rain against the glass in solid walls,wind finding every gap in the fortress stonework.Neither of us spoke.I stopped being afraid of the silences between us weeks ago. They started as the silences of someone who managed information carefully and released it on his own terms. They became something else. His thumb moved once on the back of my hand and something in my chest came apart."Zayden," I said."Don't," he said."I haven't said anything
Sold to the Beast Alpha After My Rejection CHAPTER 31: The Storm Chamber
Nerissa POVThe storm came unexpectedly.The mountains to the east caught weather systems and compressed them and by the time anything crossed into the fortress's direct range it had already built into something.One moment the evening sky was grey and still.The next the wind hit the fortress walls like something that had been running at them from a distance and finally closed the gap.I was in the upper study corridor when it happened.Zayden had asked me to come after the evening meal. The conversation about my mother and the stone and what else he knew that he hadn't told me yet was still unfinished. We had been interrupted twice since the corridor confrontation with Brennan and both times the interruption had been significant enough that the conversation couldn't continue through it.Tonight there were no interruptions.Just me walking toward his study and the storm arriving.Shutters slammed somewhere above. A torch in the outer passage guttered and died. Below me I could hear
Sold to the Beast Alpha After My Rejection CHAPTER 30: The Cracks in Obsidian
Kaelor POVI noticed something strange through the same thing that had kept me alive through eleven years of service inside the most dangerous fortress in the northern territories.The western supply corridor had seven doors running along its inner wall. Storage rooms,equipment holds,a small planning room that the patrol leaders used for rotation briefings. I walked that corridor twice daily as part of my standard fortress check. I knew the position of every door the way I knew the position of every scar on my own hands.The fourth door was open by three inches.It was never open. The room behind it held old patrol ledgers,records going back eight years,nothing current,nothing operationally sensitive and no reason for anyone to be inside it.I stopped and looked at the gap,pushed it open fully and looked inside. It was empty.Ledgers on their shelves undisturbed. Dust on the floor,one set of boot prints through the dust that were too recent to belong to the last person who had legitim
Sold to the Beast Alpha After My Rejection CHAPTER 29: Stay Away From Her
Nerissa POVThe stone in Dorian's palm was small enough to close a fist around.But my wolf was not small about it.She pressed forward with an urgency that bypassed every rational thought I was trying to have and went straight to something older and more instinctive. Like the marking carved into that stone's surface was a language she had always known.I pressed my back against the wall."How did you know my mother," I said.Dorian's eyes were on my face,reading it carefully."Not here," he said. He glanced down the corridor. "Not in the open.""Then where," I said."Somewhere Zayden's wolves aren't listening," he said."Every room in this fortress has Zayden's wolves listening," Mira said from beside me. Her voice was flat and her body was positioned between me and Dorian.Dorian looked at her briefly. Then back at me."She's right," he said. “Then I'll say what I can say here." He looked down at the stone in his palm. "Your mother gave this to my father twelve years ago,before she
Sold to the Beast Alpha After My Rejection CHAPTER 28:Calista's Manipulation
Calista POVPatience was the most underrated weapon in existence.Most wolves didn't understand that. They reached for the obvious things first. Aggression,authority,the blunt application of power in whatever form they had access to. They confused speed with effectiveness and noise with strength and by the time they realized the difference they had already made themselves predictable.I have never been predictable.I sat across from Rowan at the morning table and watched him not eat his food,not look at me and not be present in any meaningful way inside the room where his body was sitting and I did what I always did when I was gathering rather than acting.I waited and I watched and planned.Rowan was distracted,Rowan was losing sleep and was standing at the eastern tree line at dawn and sending secret scouts into Obsidian territory and thinking he was being subtle.I knew about the scouts within hours of them leaving.I had three wolves inside Red Claw's patrol rotation who understo
Sold to the Beast Alpha After My Rejection CHAPTER 27: The Full Moon Gathering
Nerissa POVThe fortress changed three days before the Alphas arrived.Gradually and then suddenly the way most important things shifted inside Obsidian Keep. More warriors on every rotation,the inner courtyard cleared of training equipment and scrubbed down to bare stone. The upper guest corridors opened and aired and prepared with a thoroughness that made the Greymoor delegation's arrival look casual by comparison.Mira moved through all of it at double her usual pace with her inventory list and her sharp eyes and her expression that said she was managing seventeen things.I tried to stay out of her way but I mostly failed."How many are coming," I asked her on the second morning of preparations."Seven packs," she said without slowing. "Six Alphas and one representative from a seventh. Plus their ranked wolves and guards." She turned into the eastern linen room and I followed. "Forty additional wolves inside the fortress by Thursday.""What's the gathering for?" I asked."You'll h
Sold to the Beast Alpha After My Rejection CHAPTER 25:The Alpha Beneath the Monster
Nerissa POVI found him in his study. The door was open which meant Kaelor had already been there. I stood in the doorway for a moment and looked at him.He was at the desk,maps spread across the surface the way they always were. His finger traced a border line with the focused intensity of someo
Sold to the Beast Alpha After My Rejection CHAPTER 20: The Midnight Nightmare
Nerissa POVI didn't tell anyone about the word on the floor.I stood in that corridor for a long time after Zayden disappeared up the eastern staircase looking at it. Turning it over in my mind the way you turned something sharp over in your hands, carefully, aware that the wrong angle could cut
Sold to the Beast Alpha After My Rejection CHAPTER 18: Bruises Beneath Her Sleeves
Nerissa POVThe water in the bathing room was hot,steam rising from the surface and curling toward the low stone ceiling in slow lazy patterns.Mira arranged it without being asked.She didn't explain why. She just told me the bathing room at the end of the east corridor would be available for an h
Sold to the Beast Alpha After My Rejection CHAPTER 17:Calista's Fear Begins
Calista POVHe said her name in his sleep,that was the first time.I lay completely still beside him in the dark and listened to it leave his mouth like something that had been sitting behind his teeth all day waiting for the moment his guard came down enough to escape.‘Nerissa.’Like even unconsc
