The Alpha Forgets 111
111 The weeks that followed settled into something neither Dark Mountain nor Silver Claw fully trusted. Peace. Not the fragile kind that existed between battles. Not the kind that came from exhaustion. Real peace. The sort that made warriors uncomfortable because they had forgotten what to do with it. For the first time in months, Dark Mountain wasn't preparing for an attack. There were still patrols. Still border checks. Still security reports. But they weren't living minute to minute waiting for the next crisis.The constant pressure had eased. The pack could finally breathe. Decker noticed the difference almost immediately. Wolves smiled more. The training yards were louder. Children played outside without their parents constantly watching the tree line. The dining hall stayed full long after meals ended because wolves actually wanted to sit together and talk. Simple things. Normal things. Things that had disappeared during the war. That didn't mean Decker stopped working. Far
The Alpha Forgets 110
110 For three full days, Decker and Lotty vanished. Not literally. Everyone knew exactly where they were. The entire packhouse knew exactly where they were. The problem was that no one was brave enough to knock on the door. Or stupid enough. By the end of the first day, it had become an unspoken rule throughout Dark Mountain. Leave the Alpha and Luna alone. Tony discovered this reality around lunchtime on the first day. He arrived outside Decker's suite carrying three reports, two requests for approval, and one problem involving a dispute between patrol leaders. He raised his hand toward the door. Then stopped. A look crossed his face. He lowered his hand. Turned around. And walked away. Jared found him halfway down the hallway. "You didn't knock." Tony stared at him. "No." "Why?" Tony continued walking. "Because I enjoy being alive." Jared considered that. "Fair." By dinner that evening, the kitchen staff had developed a system. Food was left outside the door. A tray

109 A few days after Jacob left Dark Mountain, life began settling into something that almost felt normal. Almost. The constant investigations had slowed. Ellis remained locked away. Silver Claw was busy cleaning its own house. For the first time in months, Decker wasn't waking every morning expecting another crisis. He wasn't complaining. It gave him time to focus on something far more important. Lotty. The two of them had slipped into a comfortable routine. Breakfast together. Training. Her shifts at the hospital. Evenings together in the packhouse. Simple things. The kind of things neither of them had realized they missed until they finally had them. That morning found them in the training gym. The large room buzzed with activity. Warriors occupied nearly every station. Some worked heavy bags. Others sparred on the mats. Weights clanked in the background. Most of the wolves present were young. Strong. Unmated males. Normally, Decker didn't think much of it. Today, however, he

108 Jacob left Dark Mountain with more than he had arrived with. He came with guards, suspicion, and a pack name stained by actions he hadn’t ordered. He left with proof. Names. Confessions. And a very clear understanding that cleaning Silver Claw would not be quiet. The morning of his departure was cold, but clear. Four SUVs waited in the front courtyard, engines idling softly while Silver Claw guards loaded the last of their things. The atmosphere was still tense, but not hostile anymore. That mattered. Decker stood at the top of the steps with Lotty beside him. Tony and Jared stood nearby, both alert. Selene stood beside Jacob, wrapped in a pale gray coat, her expression calm but thoughtful. Lotty and Selene had already said goodbye twice. They were about to do it a third time. Selene took Lotty’s hands in hers. “I’ll send word when we’re settled.” Lotty smiled. “Please do.” “And if you ever need to talk about pack matters, hospitals, difficult Alphas…” Lotty laughed softly

107 The next morning felt entirely different. The warmth from the welcoming feast was gone. Not erased. Just set aside. Because now the real reason for the visit stood waiting behind closed doors. Truth. Accountability. And whether Dark Mountain and Silver Claw walked away as allies or enemies. The packhouse woke early. Silver Claw guards rotated positions before sunrise. Dark Mountain warriors mirrored them from a distance that was respectful without being careless. The tension returned immediately. Sharper this time. Not hidden beneath music and polite conversation. Open. Expected. Lotty woke beside Decker before dawn fully broke across the mountains. For several quiet minutes, neither of them moved. She could feel it through the bond already. The weight of the day pressing against him. Not fear. Never fear. But readiness. He stared up at the ceiling, one arm around her waist, mind already turning through possibilities. Lotty rested her hand lightly against his chest. “You’re t

106 The day Alpha Jacob arrived at Dark Mountain dawned cold and gray. Fitting weather for the kind of meeting it was going to be. No one in either pack believed this was a simple diplomatic visit anymore. Too much blood had already touched the ground between them. Too many secrets had been dragged into the light. And yet both Alphas had still chosen to move forward with the meeting instead of toward war. That alone said something. Dark Mountain had been awake long before sunrise. Warriors rotated into position along the main road and outer ridges. Patrols doubled quietly through the forest. Jared’s wolves occupied every strategic point around the packhouse without looking like they were guarding anything at all. Decker had made one thing very clear: Silver Claw would be welcomed with respect. But Dark Mountain would not be caught off guard again. Lotty stood beside Decker on the front steps of the packhouse, watching the final preparations unfold below. The welcoming banners ha

36 The meeting room in the packhouse had once been a formal dining hall. Now it has become something else entirely. The long wooden table at the center held maps instead of plates, territory markers instead of candles. Old scars carved into the wood hinted at past arguments, past decisions that ha

26 The packhouse finally grew quiet. The kind of quiet that only came after a long day of tension, arguments, interrogations, and planning. Warriors rotated through night watch, the low murmur of voices fading as patrols settled into their posts around the property. Inside Lotty’s room, the light

17 The message went out before dawn. Clean. Controlled. Deliberate. No mention of Edgewater Falls. No mention of location. No hint of weakness. Only what was necessary. Alpha Decker of Dark Mountain is alive. An accident occurred en route. He is recovering and will send word soon. The truce stand

15 Cole didn’t knock. He didn’t have to. He’d been stationed outside that ICU room for three days, listening to the sounds inside the way warriors listened to the forest, reading shifts in breathing, tension in silence, the subtle changes that meant a situation had turned. When he heard the low m
