Chapter One Hundred & Two: Not Because of Him
publish date:
2026-08-12 05:05:34Darius did not let the first seal end the investigation.
Harwick’s petition stayed at one end of the table while Vivian reopened Victor’s ledger. Luca came through the hidden passage carrying a copied maintenance sheet, dust streaked across one sleeve.
“Found this behind the western wall,” he said. “It covers the passage and two older servic

The Alpha My Sister Wanted Chapter One Hundred & Eight: Before I Choose
I had spent most of my life wanting my wolf.That should have made the decision easy.It didn’t.I left Darius’s study with the pendant against my chest and the clasp still secured over Victor’s mark. Ezra carried the moon disc again.Three objects.One countermeasure.A possible way out.I should have felt relieved.Instead, by the time we reached the bottom of the stairs, I wanted to crawl out of my own skin.Ezra stopped beside me.“Do you want me to come with you?”I looked at him.He was waiting for an answer instead of deciding what it should be.“Yes.”He followed me down the corridor.I did not decide where I was going until I stopped outside the library.The old door caught halfway.I pushed harder.It refused.Ezra reached past me, then paused.I looked at his hand.He withdrew it.“Sorry.”Despite everything, I smiled.“Help.”He pushed the door open.“Efficient delegation,” he said.“You opened a door.”“Successfully.”I shook my head and walked inside.The library smelled

My wolf surged so hard I caught the edge of the desk.Ezra moved at the same time, stopping close enough that he could catch me if I needed him.Darius looked from me to the drawing beneath his hand.A crescent curved around a dark stone.“The Black Moon Stone,” Maren said.I stared at the page.“The presentation.”Darius nodded slowly.“The same shape.”My wrist had started to ache beneath the clasp. Not the sharp burning Victor could cause through the black mark. Something deeper.Pressure.My wolf pushed once against the suppression and settled again.Waiting.I was beginning to hate when she did that.“What does the Stone have to do with this?”Darius turned several pages at once.“I thought it was ceremonial.”“It is ceremonial,” Maren said.“That does not mean that is all it is.”He found another passage and dragged the lamp closer.Ezra leaned over the opposite side of the desk.“What are you looking for?”“A reason Liora would divide one working across three objects instead of

Darius turned pages for so long I started wondering whether he had forgotten we were there.The pendant remained beside the moon disc.My wrist rested near them, the clasp still cold against my skin.Ezra leaned against the desk beside me.“How long do we give him?”Darius kept reading. “I can hear you.”“I know.”Maren hid a smile.Then Darius shut the folio.“I need paper.”Maren handed him a blank sheet.He took a pencil and copied a curved mark from the pendant.I recognised it immediately.“The pendant.”“Yes.”He drew another beneath it.“The disc?”Darius nodded.Then he looked at my wrist.“Turn your arm.”I did.He copied one of the narrow markings along the clasp.Three separate shapes sat on the page.I stared at them.“They still look like three marks.”“That is what I thought.”Darius rotated the paper.He moved the first drawing closer to the second.The curve from the pendant met the line from the disc.My wolf pushed beneath my ribs.I sucked in a breath.Ezra straight
The Alpha My Sister Wanted Chapter One Hundred & Five: What Remained
Darius had apparently decided sleep was optional.When Ezra and I reached his study, every lamp was burning. Books covered the desk, the side table and one of the chairs. Maren had claimed the other chair and was reading something that looked old enough to fall apart if she breathed too hard near it.Darius looked up.“You’re back.”“We found the watch post,” Ezra said.“And?”“Used this morning. Cleared before we got there.”Darius closed his eyes for a second.“Well,” I said, “that expression is comforting.”Ezra’s mouth twitched.Darius did not look amused.“I sent for you because I need to see something.”“That sounds slightly better.”“It may not be.”Of course.I stepped closer to the desk. One of the books was open to cramped writing and diagrams I could not begin to understand.“What did you find?”“Nothing I can prove yet.”“You dragged us back here for nothing?”“I asked you to come back because I may finally know what questions to ask.”That was very Darius.I folded my arm
The Alpha My Sister Wanted Chapter One Hundred & Four: Inside the Perimeter
Ezra’s POVThe report reached me before I made it back to the western stores.Luca crossed the inner yard quickly enough that I knew whatever he had found was not another missing crate.“The old watch post was used again.”I stopped. “When?”“This morning.”My wolf pushed forward beneath my skin.“Who found it?”“Senior patrol. Your father ordered another sweep through the north-west routes after breakfast. One of the trackers found fresh mud beneath the rear window.”“Footprints?”“Enough to prove someone had been there. Whoever it was knew how to clean a trail.”Aurora stepped out of the pack house behind him, dressed for movement in trousers and boots, her hair tied loosely away from her face.My first instinct was immediate.Keep her here.The conversation in the corridor came back before I could turn the thought into words.When you are afraid, tell me instead of deciding for me.I looked at Luca. “Has anyone gone inside?”“No. Tracker found the marks and backed everyone out.”“G
The Alpha My Sister Wanted Chapter One Hundred & Three: The Shape of Control
By breakfast, Darius's study looked as though years of suspicion had been emptied across every available surface.Folders covered the desk. Old notebooks were stacked on the floor beside it, some so worn the leather had softened at the corners. Loose pages lay across the long table in rough groups, each marked with dates, names or pieces of Victor's administration that had never made sense at the time.Vivian stood at one end of the table reading through a ledger.Maren sat opposite her.Ezra stood beside the window, arms folded. Darius moved between the papers like a man trying to see a picture he had spent years collecting one piece at a time.I stopped near the table."You kept all of this?"Darius glanced at the nearest stack. "Most of it.""Most?""A few early notes were written when I still believed Victor's influence could be explained politically."Vivian looked up. "And when did you stop believing that?""Before I knew what else to call it."She returned to the ledger.Darius
