The Alpha My Sister Wanted Chapter Ninety-Six: Last Night
They caught the sixth wolf before dark.He had made it less than half a mile, down through the old drainage channel beneath the northern wall, before two trackers pulled him out of the mud. By the time they brought him into the lower council room his patrol coat was turned inside out, one side of his face was bleeding, and an oilskin packet had been strapped flat beneath his shirt.He looked at Darius once.Then at Vivian, and away again, fast.I had spent seven years in a house where I learned to read what people did with their eyes before they decided what to do with their mouths. That was not defiance. That was a man checking whether the person he was most afraid of had come into the room yet.Darius stood at the head of the table with Maren beside him. Harwick had come as council witness and taken the chair nearest the door, where he could see everyone and be seen doing it. Luca stayed standing. Ezra stood close enough beside me that our sleeves touched when either of us shifted,

The little girl did not let go of my sleeve until her mother carried her out of the stores hall.I stood beneath the archway and watched them cross the yard with one of Maren’s guards beside them. Smoke still hung low over the loading stones. Water from the sluice ran black into the drainage trench, carrying oil, soot and whatever remained of the attempt to send a burning cart through the doors.They had known which households would be short before they stole the shipment.Now someone had tried to burn the place where we were looking at the numbers.That was no longer coincidence.Ezra came back through the narrow passage with one of the trackers behind him.“Nothing?”“He knew the house.”Vivian closed the reserve ledger. “We already knew that.”“No.” Ezra looked towards the stairwell. “I mean he knew which doors would be locked and which one would not be watched during the change between morning posts. He never slowed down.”Harwick glanced at me. “You saw the cloak.”“Yes.”“Face?”
The Alpha My Sister Wanted Chapter Ninety-Four: What the Shortage Costs
The eastern stores hall smelled of cold stone and flour dust.None of us had slept. Vivian had changed her coat since the infirmary, which made her look put together until you came close enough to see her eyes. Maren stood at the end of the ledger table, and Harwick had brought his own pen.The storekeeper opened the reserve book and turned it towards us."That is everything the hall holds. Not everything we can give."Vivian ran her finger down the column. "How much is already committed?""Two hundred weight to the infirmary through winter. Cassian's care draws against that. The rest is the reserve.""And if we replace the stolen shipment in full today?"The storekeeper rubbed flour from his thumb. "Then the reserve is gone by the first hard frost, and every household on the ridge stands where those three are standing now."I looked at the figures and understood almost none of it.At the first stores review I had demanded replacement before I knew what replacing it emptied, and Vivia
The Alpha My Sister Wanted Chapter Ninety-Three: The Wolves Who Took It
By the time Elias could answer more than one question, dawn had begun to pale the infirmary windows.The healer had stitched the wound along his side, bound his ribs and set his wrist between two narrow splints. His skin was grey against the pillow.Luca sat on the edge of the next bed with his forearms on his knees. He had been told twice not to crowd the healer, and both times he had moved back exactly half a step.Vivian stood near the foot of the bed with her ledger open. Ezra remained beside the door. Harwick had taken the only chair and placed it where Elias would have to look at him to answer.The healer folded her arms."Five minutes. If his breathing changes, you leave."Harwick inclined his head. "Elias, tell us who brought you the amended order.""A patrol wolf." Elias's voice scraped against the words. "Black Moon cloak. Eastern route token.""Name?"Elias shook his head. "I knew his voice. Couldn't place it."Harwick looked at Vivian. "Yet you followed him.""He had the o
The Alpha My Sister Wanted Chapter Ninety-Two: The Old Watch Post
The trail held for almost a mile.Blood marked the first few trees, smears where a hand or shoulder had caught the bark. After that there was only disturbed fern and the occasional heel pressed into wet ground.The tracker led us between the pines. I stayed close enough to see what he pointed out and far enough back not to ruin it.Luca stayed near the front.He had not made a joke since the cart.The trail bent north-west, away from the eastern road. Vivian stopped beside a fallen cedar and looked through the trees."There used to be a watch post this way."Harwick turned towards her. "Used to be?""It was removed from the active patrol maps years ago. The building was never demolished. Victor said it cost more to clear the stone than to leave it.""How far?" Ezra asked."Less than half a mile."The tracker studied the ground. "This trail is heading towards it."We moved faster after that.The trees thickened until the lanterns caught more branches than path. Whenever the tracks thin
The Alpha My Sister Wanted Chapter Ninety-One: No Body
The blood looked black in the lantern light.The cart had been pulled off the eastern road and left between two pines, one wheel sunk deep enough into the soft ground that it leaned towards the ditch. The horses were gone. So were the crates, the guard and anything else that might have explained it.Only the blood remained.It covered the rear boards in a dark, uneven pool and had dried along the gaps in the timber. The smell reached me before I was close enough to see all of it.Luca stopped beside me.For once, he had nothing to say.Two trackers moved around the cart, careful not to step across one another's paths. A healer waited near the road with her bag open, though there was nobody for her to treat.Harwick looked from Vivian to me."This is no longer a stores assessment," he said. "It is a pack emergency."Vivian did not look away from the boards. "We uncovered the order that sent him here.""Which is why you will both remain. You will observe, and you will ask before touchin
