The Alpha My Sister Wanted Chapter Forty-Three: The Night Before
I went to the ridge at midnight.Not because I had planned to. Because sleep had stopped being a possibility somewhere around the third hour of lying in the dark with Caelan's words stacked against Victor's and no clean way to separate truth from construction.Ask Cassian about your mother. Ask him specifically about the night she left Moonfall.The pendant warmed before I even reached the treeline.The clearing settled around me the way it always did. My wolf exhaled into the space and the stones and the mist and the almost-full moon overhead, and for the first time since the summons to Victor's study that morning my chest unclenched slightly.I sat with my back against the largest stone.Tomorrow Cassian Valehart was going to walk through those gates.My father, who had redirected an entire pack's resources looking for me and lost his Alpha seat because of it, was going to stand in front of me and I was going to have to decide in real time what seventeen years of a blank space on a
The Alpha My Sister Wanted Chapter Forty-Two: What Luca Saw
I found Caelan in the east courtyard.Not by accident. Darius had quietly extended his movement permissions that morning, a small but deliberate loosening of Victor's escort requirement that told me Darius was managing this situation on a parallel track to whatever Victor believed he was managing.Caelan was sitting on the low stone wall at the courtyard's edge, looking out at the ridge in the distance with the particular stillness of someone who was comfortable with silence in a way that most wolves were not. His escort wolf stood ten paces away pretending to find the far wall interesting.I sat beside him."Victor spoke to me this morning," I said."I expected he would.""He said the pack council removed Cassian. That he did not step down voluntarily."Caelan was quiet for a moment."That is partially true," he said."Which part.""The council did move to remove him. Cassian stepped down before the vote completed." He looked at me steadily. "Victor knows the difference. He chose the
The Alpha My Sister Wanted Chapter Forty-One: What Victor Left Out
The pack noticed.I had known they would. Black Moon Ridge was not a large enough world for two people to walk back through the front door at sunrise with the particular quality of silence between them that Aurora and Ezra carried and have nobody register it.By breakfast the dining hall had that feeling again. The one I was becoming familiar with. Conversations that paused a beat too long when I entered. Eyes that moved toward me and then away with the careful precision of wolves who had decided that looking directly at something was the same as having an opinion about it.Luca handed me tea without comment.That was how I knew it was bad.Luca always had a comment."How bad," I said quietly."On a scale of one to ten." He considered. "Seven. Maybe seven and a half.""Because of the ridge.""Because of the ridge, because of the meeting yesterday, because of Caelan in the east wing, because of the stone." He paused. "Pick one. They are all contributing."Ezra entered the dining hall t
The Alpha My Sister Wanted Chapter Forty: What He Wrote
The handwriting was nothing like the letter that had arrived through the eastern gate patrol.That one had been elegant, formal, the careful script of someone writing on behalf of an institution. This was different. Smaller, slightly uneven, the handwriting of a man who wrote quickly because his thoughts moved faster than his pen and had never quite bothered to correct that.It felt personal in a way the other letter had not.It felt like a person rather than a pack.I read it slowly.Aurora.I do not know what they have told you about me. I do not know what you have been told about your mother, about Moonfall, about the night you were taken from us. I h
The Alpha My Sister Wanted Chapter Thirty-Nine: What He Slipped Into My Hand
They put Caelan in the east wing.Third door from the end, the room with the narrow window that looked out over the old kitchen garden rather than the main grounds. I noticed that deliberateness immediately. Victor had chosen a room with a limited view on purpose, the same way he chose everything on purpose, managing information and sightlines the way other people managed conversations.Caelan had looked at the room without comment.That told me he had noticed too.The morning stretched into afternoon with the particular tension of a house holding its breath. Pack wolves who would normally move freely through the corridors slowed near the east wing and then corrected themselves and moved on, pretending they had not slowed at all. Conversations stopped when I entered room
The Alpha My Sister Wanted Chapter Thirty-Eight: What He Could Not Say
Ezra did not sit down.That was the first thing I noticed. He stood at the entrance to the garden with his arms loose at his sides and his wolf visible in the particular set of his shoulders, not threatening, not aggressive, but present in a way that communicated clearly that he was not here as a bystander.Caelan noticed too.He sat back slightly, a small adjustment, the kind of recalibration that said he was reassessing how much to say in front of someone whose position in this situation he had not fully mapped yet."Ezra Blackthorn," I said. "Heir to Black Moon Ridge."Caelan looked at Ezra with those careful eyes."I know who he is," he said quietly.
