THE ALPHA KING'S FORGOTTEN WIFE The Blade
Lucian moved with terrible gentleness.He bent, lifted Noah as if he were made of glass, and began to carry him toward the black stone. His silver ring flashed in the starlight. Noah went limp in his arms, eyes half-closed, his small face blank."No!"Elena threw herself at them.Adrian shifted in mid-stride. His coat tore away. Fur burst across his shoulders, and a black wolf the size of a horse tore across the grass. Lucian spun. Adrian's jaws closed on empty air.The old man was fast. Faster than any human, faster than any wolf Elena had ever seen. He dodged, rolled and came up with Noah still in his arms, calm, composed, unruffled. Not a hair out of place."Please," he said. "I'd rather not hurt you.""Put him down!" Elena screamed."I'm afraid I can't."She drove her knife toward his arm. He caught her wrist, twisted, and she cried out as the blade fell from her fingers. Adrian roared and leaped."Adrian," said Marguerite, almost lazily. "Behind you."He turned.Too late.Wolves
THE ALPHA KING'S FORGOTTEN WIFE The Moon Stone
They didn't wait for the plan.Adrian drove. Elena sat beside him with her knife on her lap and her teeth clenched so hard her jaw ached. Behind them, a convoy of black cars wound up the mountain road with their lights off, Lucas at the head, Seraphina beside him with a rifle across her knees."Alone," Elena said. "He said alone.""I know what he said.""If we bring the wolves...""Then they'll be in position when we need them." Adrian's hands were tight on the wheel. His eyes were black. "They hold the ridge. We go up the last hill on foot. And Elena, we are not alone. We never were."She swallowed and nodded.She had stopped crying somewhere around the second switchback. What had replaced it was colder, steadier, a stillness she remembered from the long nights above the laundromat, when she had sat awake with a feverish baby and a handful of coins and thought, I will not break. Not tonight. Not until he's safe.I will not break.The night was moonless, the sky black as ink. A millio
THE ALPHA KING'S FORGOTTEN WIFE Preparing the Trap
"Three teams," Lucas said, tapping the map. "North ridge, south road, and a ring of wolves inside the standing stones. Quiet. Nobody shifts until Adrian gives the signal."The war room beneath the Tower smelled of coffee and old stone. A long table ran down its center, covered in maps, radios and cold plates of untouched food. Lamps burned low. It was past midnight, three days before the new moon, and every person in the room looked as if they had not slept in a week."And what do we do about the Stone itself?" said Commander Voss, a lean gray man with a scar down his throat. "We don't know what's up there. If Lucian expects the boy, he'll have prepared something.""We give him the boy," Adrian said.Silence fell."Not Noah," Elena said sharply."No." Adrian laid a hand on her arm. "A decoy. Tessa's team has a woman who could pass for a small child under a blanket, in the dark, from forty yards."Tessa, Seraphina's captain, a broad-shouldered woman with a braid down to her waist, gave
THE ALPHA KING'S FORGOTTEN WIFE The Staged Quarrel
The fight happened in the main hall, at noon, in front of forty witnesses.Everything had been planned. Lucas had cleared the schedule. Seraphina's guard had spread the word that the King and Queen were not in good spirits, a whisper that raced through the Tower like a brushfire. By noon, every member of the staff who could find a reason to be in the main hall was there, polishing silverware that did not need polishing, rearranging flowers that were perfectly arranged.Elena stood by the tall windows with a teacup in her hand. Her heart was pounding so hard she was sure the whole room could hear it.It's only a play, she told herself. Just be angry. You have so much to be angry about.Adrian strode in, grim-faced, flanked by two guards. He stopped at the long table. His eyes found hers, and for the barest instant, they warmed. Then they went flat and hard."We need to talk," he said."I thought we already had.""Not like that.""Like what?""Like I'm a stranger.""You are a stranger."
THE ALPHA KING'S FORGOTTEN WIFE Weaponized Love
Lucian asked to see Adrian alone.Elena stood in the next room with her ear against the wall. She was not proud of it. But the study had a thin door, and Adrian had left it open a hand's width, a signal she understood perfectly, and she had promised herself that this time she would not look away.She heard a teacup being set down. The creak of leather. A long, gentle sigh."I won't pretend I'm not worried," said Lucian."About?""You." The old man's voice was warm with concern. "You haven't been yourself. Sleepless. Distracted. Ever since she came back.""She has a name.""Elena. Of course." A pause. "She is a remarkable woman. I've said so from the beginning. But Adrian, my boy, you must see what's happening.""Enlighten me.""The Council is circling. The packs are restless. Rowan's attack was only the first move. And the child...""Noah.""Noah is a lightning rod." Lucian's voice dropped, sorrowful. "Every enemy you have will come for him. And for her. It is not safe for them here."
THE ALPHA KING'S FORGOTTEN WIFE Seraphina's confession
Seraphina asked to meet them on the roof.It was past midnight, bitterly cold, with the wind whipping the city lights into streaks. She stood at the parapet in a long gray coat with the collar turned up and her hair blowing loose. She did not turn when they came out."You're late.""We had to be careful," said Adrian."So did I." She faced them. Her eyes were red-rimmed. She looked like someone who hadn't slept in days. "Rowan knows I voted for you. He's furious. He's called me to the Ashfall estate for a family meeting. I haven't been home since.""Your own father?""My father." The word was a bitter twist. "He's not who you think, Adrian. He's not who I thought.""Tell us," said Elena.Seraphina took a breath. Her fingers worked at the lapel of her coat."Three years ago, Marguerite Vane came to my father with an offer. She would make him an Elder of the Seven if he'd do her a small favor. Keep the Alpha King's attention away from certain questions. A betrothal to his daughter was t
