The Alpha King's Lost Mate Chapter Fifty-Five — The Source of the Map
Elliott By the time the delegation left on Sunday, we already completed the discussion I ended the previous afternoon. The revised figures gave everyone something useful to review overnight. We settled the remaining questions, confirmed who would handle the follow-up, and finished before lunch. Adrian collected the meeting notes while Alaric accompanied our visitors to their waiting cars. I was glad to see the work completed. Canceling a meeting did not cancel the decisions people needed from it. My body remained settled throughout the morning. Tamara’s instructions to rest the evening before proved sensible, although I preferred not to imagine how pleased she would be to hear me admit that. When Alaric returned, Damon was with him. “We have something on the route diagram,” Damon said. I set aside the document Adrian left for me. “Come in.” They entered my study, and Alaric closed the door. Damon placed a sealed evidence folder on the desk, followed by a second folder containi
The Alpha King's Lost Mate Chapter Fifty-Four — More Than Strength
Esteria Sunday morning, I still remembered Elliott’s answer often enough to know it would stay with me for a while. He was attracted to me. There was no reason for me to doubt it, although knowing brought questions I hadn’t needed to face before. He still had five prospective brides staying in Frostfang, and I had no idea where that left us. I still couldn’t let go of my feelings for him. I didn’t understand why I felt so drawn to him, but being close to him felt good. That only made everything more difficult, because I knew I needed to let those feelings go. I just didn’t know how. Corvian’s call the evening before helped me think about something else. He asked about work and whether I was eating properly, then listened while I told him Adrian was teaching me how to refuse unnecessary requests. He sounded pleased. For a little while, we spoke as easily as we used to when nobody else was in the room. I was fastening my coat over Maelis’s cream knitted sweater when Elowen arrived.
The Alpha King's Lost Mate Chapter Fifty-Three — You Didn’t Imagine It
Elliott “I know she did nothing wrong. I just didn’t like watching you dance with her.” Esteria looked down at our joined hands after saying it. I watched her for a moment, pleased by the admission before I considered how much courage it had taken. She had spent the afternoon trying to explain her discomfort through Selianna. Now she was trusting me with the part that concerned us. “Would it help if I told you I wanted to dance with you?” Her eyes lifted. “You did dance with me.” “Because I wanted to.” “I know. But you were also receiving guests. I wasn’t sure how much I should read into it.” There was no accusation in her voice. That made answering her more difficult. I could handle a demand for reassurance; I had less practice with someone quietly asking what my attention meant. “I came over when I saw you were leaving,” I said. “I didn’t want the evening to end before we had a moment together.” She studied my face. Her fingers remained between mine, but she had stopped mov
The Alpha King's Lost Mate Chapter Fifty-Two — A Little Too Honest
Esteria Selianna stopped beside our desk before leaving the council room. “Thank you for arranging the notes,” she said. Adrian nodded. “The general feedback will be circulated this afternoon.” “I’ll look out for it.” She included me in her smile, then followed Marielle toward the door. I watched them leave, remembering how calmly she answered Elliott’s questions. I couldn’t pretend the Council had handed her a result she didn’t deserve. That was what troubled me. I knew the woman who mocked me in Silvercrest. This morning, everyone else had seen a woman who could stand before the Council and explain how she would help a community. Both were Selianna. Adrian glanced at my screen. “Have you included the coordinator’s final comments?” “Yes. I’m checking the last page.” “Send it to me when you’re finished. I’ll handle the circulation.” I nodded and returned to work. A few minutes later, I sent the file, closed my laptop and placed it in my dark-brown bag. “That’s everything fo
The Alpha King's Lost Mate Chapter Fifty-One — What a Queen Must Choose
Elliott Nolan arrived at my study shortly after breakfast on Saturday. He declined the coffee Alaric offered him and waited until the door closed before speaking. “The families need to know that their daughters have a genuine opportunity, Your Majesty.” “They do.” “After last night, some may question that.” I set down the document I was reviewing. “Then they should look at the assessment arrangements. Every candidate has the same accommodation, preparation time and access to the assessors.” “The concern is about your intentions.” “And what assurance would satisfy you?” He considered his answer. “That you will give the women a fair opportunity to demonstrate their suitability before making your decision.” “I intend to.” Nolan glanced toward Alaric, who remained beside the window. “I respect your right to choose, Your Majesty. But these families have agreed to place their daughters before the Council. They deserve to be treated seriously.” “I agree with you. They also deserve
The Alpha King's Lost Mate Chapter Fifty — I Enjoyed It
Esteria Selianna’s smile returned slowly. She adjusted the sleeve of her pale-gold dress and looked at Elliott again. “That was very considerate of you, Your Majesty.” I knew how much effort that sentence had cost her. A few days ago, she would have turned toward me and demanded an explanation. Tonight, she kept her hands folded neatly in front of her. Lumina was more quiet for a moment longer. Then she looked at me with an expression I might have mistaken for concern if I hadn’t known her so well. “You should have mentioned the arrangement, Esteria.” “I didn’t realize I needed to.” Corvian glanced at me. I kept my voice polite, although my fingers tightened around the strap of my evening bag. “We’re your family,” Lumina said. “Naturally, we should know where you’re living.” “You knew I was staying at the Crown Residence.” “Yes, but this is rather different.” Her gaze moved toward Elliott before returning to me. Behind her, a servant carried away a tray of empty glasses. I
