The trees started thinning out before Cassian said anything, and I noticed him slow down before I understood why.

"It should be just up here." He stopped walking. Started again. "Past that grey ridge."

We came over it together and he just stopped, flat out, and Ezra grabbed his arm on reflex before either of us had worked out what was wrong.

Rock. That was all there was. A long stretch of it running the length of the hillside, no gap, no shadow suggesting a gap, nothing that looked like anythin

  • The Alpha My Sister Wanted   Chapter Seventy-Five: The East Gate

    The guards reached Victor's study minutes after the hearing ended.I went with Darius, though neither of us said why. Part of me expected to find Victor waiting, composed behind his desk, ready to argue that a suspended title changed nothing. He had always been better at staying than at running.The study was empty.Not ransacked. Not overturned. Emptied with the same care he brought to everything, drawers closed, papers squared, the chair pushed in. Whatever he had wanted, he had taken without hurry.Darius stood in the centre of the room and turned once, slowly."His travel case is gone," he said. "The locked one. He kept it beneath the window.""You knew about it.""I knew he never let anyone near it."A younger wolf appeared in the doorway, breathing hard from the stairs."Alpha. The east gate."We reached it faster than my legs wanted to carry me.Two gate guards waited, and I knew before either spoke that something had gone wrong, because neither of them would look directly at D

    We kept moving until the river no longer covered every sound behind us.Cassian walked with one hand pressed to his side. Blood had soaked through his shirt and spread beneath his fingers, but each time I slowed, he told me to keep going.The tunnel narrowed, then opened into a shallow recess above the water. The ground was mostly dry, and the stone curved inward far enough to hide the torchlight from anyone following the passage.Ezra checked the tunnel behind us before turning to Cassian.“Sit down.”“I can stand.”“You’re bleeding through your hand.”Cassian looked at the blood as though it had appeared without his permission.“That explains the discomfort.”I stared at him. “Sit.”He did.Ezra took the torch while I lowered myself beside Cassian. The cut ran from beneath his ribs towards his back. It was deep enough to need more than pressure, but the blade had struck at an angle rather than going straight in.“We lost the bandages,” I said.“Use my shirt,” Ezra replied.He pulled

  • The Alpha My Sister Wanted   Chapter Seventy-Three: The Current

    The older Bloodstone wolf’s voice followed us into the passage.“Keep going.”I did.The tunnel bent sharply and dropped beneath the weight of the mountain. Cassian’s torch threw a narrow circle of light ahead of us, barely enough to show wet stone, uneven ground, and the same three shallow marks cut beside every turn.Ezra stayed behind me. Boots scraped over rock beyond him as the Bloodstone wolves entered the marked route.They were done waiting.The sound of water grew until it swallowed everything else.The passage opened beside a river running through the cave, black and fast beneath the torchlight. A narrow shelf followed the wall above it, no wider than my shoulders in places. Spray washed over the edge and left the stone shining.Cassian lifted the torch.The shelf continued for twenty feet before widening at another tunnel. Cracks ran through the middle section, thin near the wall and deeper at the outer edge where the current had worn away the rock beneath it.“That won’t h

    Maren’s POVVictor had promised consequences.By midday, Darius had given him witnesses.The senior council room had never felt especially large, but it felt smaller with every chair occupied. Darius sat at the head of the table. I sat beside him, with Harwick, the Beta pair and three senior wolves positioned along either side.A recorder waited near the window with an open ledger.Vivian sat at the far end of the table. She wore dark green, her hands folded neatly in her lap. Luca stood near the door at Darius’s request, no smile on his face for once.Victor entered last.His eyes moved over the room before he took the empty chair halfway down the table.He had expected consequences to happen privately.That had been his first mistake.Darius rested both hands on the table.“This hearing concerns the security hold placed on Aurora Vale, Maren’s decision to release her and the allegations surrounding the suppression of Aurora’s wolf.”Victor looked toward the recorder.“I was told thi

  • The Alpha My Sister Wanted   Chapter Seventy-One: The Way Below

    Cold air kept rising out of the gap Cassian had opened, carrying the smell of damp earth and standing water, and rust somewhere underneath it. I had one foot toward the opening when Ezra's hand closed hard around my arm."Wait."Boots on stone, more than one set, moving without any effort to stay quiet. More boots stopped further back. I counted at least four sets, maybe more.Cassian went rigid, angled toward the sound.Three figures appeared in the tunnel behind us, spreading out across the entrance to the chamber. Behind them, other shapes shifted in the dark, waiting rather than advancing."Bloodstone," Cassian said, low.The older one, grey through the jaw, let his gaze move from the lit wall to the gap at our feet. The corner of his mouth tightened."Go on," he said. "You opened the way."Nobody moved for a second. I studied him, the set of his shoulders, the way none of the three behind him so much as shifted their weight. None of them looked nervous or impatient. They stood th

    A steady pressure tugged beneath my ribs the whole way in, always pointing forward, not letting up even when I stopped to catch my breath."You feel it too," Cassian said, watching my face."Here." I pressed a hand flat against my own sternum. "Like pressure. Pulling this way." I nodded down the passage. "It has not stopped since the entrance opened."Nobody argued.The tunnel opened into a chamber bigger than I expected. Ezra's torchlight reached the far wall, and all three of us stopped.Two wolves, carved into the rock, life-sized or bigger.One was smaller, sleeker, its coat worked through with hundreds of tiny embedded flecks of something pale that caught the torchlight and threw it back silver. The other stood behind it, massive, its eyes two deep-set hollows filled with the same silver material.Ezra had gone still beside me, staring at the larger wolf's eyes."They look like mine," he said quietly."It doesn't have to be you."Even to me, the words sounded weak.His grip on th
