The giant at the gate whose real name was Garrett and who had, in the time I had known him, communicated more through silence and facial expressions than most people managed with full sentences.
His current expression said: something is wrong and I have been waiting for you to come here so I could tell you about it.
"Talk," I said.
"Eastern perimeter, about an hour ago." He crossed his arms, which on him was less a defensiv

(Lena POV)I was still in the courtyard when Ryan found me."Talk to me," he said without preamble.I looked up at him. "About?""Why you're here.""We've had this conversation.""We've had a version of it," he said. "I want the real one."I studied him for a moment."I told you the real one," I said. "I had nowhere else to go. I walked until I crossed the border and your scouts found me.""You were the mate of the Silvercrest heir," he said. "Future Luna of one of the most established packs in the territory. That's not a position most people walk away from.""Most people aren't claimed against their will."Ryan was quiet for a moment. He sat down on the bench across from me. "Walk me through it," he said. "From the beginning."I looked at the water basin. The light was catching the surface in a way that turned it briefly gold."I didn't ask to be bonded to Kai,"

(Ryan POV)The giant at the gate whose real name was Garrett and who had, in the time I had known him, communicated more through silence and facial expressions than most people managed with full sentences.His current expression said: something is wrong and I have been waiting for you to come here so I could tell you about it."Talk," I said."Eastern perimeter, about an hour ago." He crossed his arms, which on him was less a defensive posture and more a structural necessity. "Two wolves. Silvercrest scent, Nathaniel confirmed it. They weren't crossing. They were just... present. Tree line, about thirty meters back from the marker.""How long?""Nathaniel clocked them for about forty minutes before they pulled back.""Armed?""Couldn't tell. Kept to cover."I looked at the gate, at the tree line beyond it, at the pale afternoon light coming through the canopy. "They see Nathaniel?""
The Alpha Rejected His Bride For Me Chapter 49: The Cost of Staying Out
(Julian POV)By the sixth hour, the scouts were running on nothing.I could see it in the way Daniel moved with the slightly over-deliberate quality of someone compensating for a body that had been awake too long. Brett had stopped speaking entirely, which in someone his age meant he was past the point of social energy and operating on bare function. The two others, a wolf named Greg and a quieter one everyone called Sam, had been sitting on a rock shelf for the last forty minutes doing what looked like resting their eyes but was probably closer to sleeping upright.None of them had asked to leave.That was the problem.Kai was still moving. He had not stopped moving since we arrived at the borderland before dawn, covering the same ground the scouts had already covered, reexamining things Daniel had already read and reported, standing at the border marker and looking northeast with the focused intensity of a man who b
The Alpha Rejected His Bride For Me Chapter 48: Observed
(Lena POV)I lasted until mid-afternoon before the room became intolerable.It wasn't the room itself. The room was fine, better than fine by any standard I had lived by for most of my life.It was the quality of the stillness inside it.I put on the clean clothes someone had left, folded the ones I had arrived in, and opened the door.The corridor was empty in both directions. Stone floor, woven runner down the center in a deep rust color, wall sconces burning low in the afternoon light. Four doors on each side, all closed. A window at the far end looking out onto the same courtyard I could see from my room.I turned left, away from the window, and walked.The east wing opened after two corridors into a larger common space that functioned, as far as I could tell, as a general gathering area. Long tables, mismatched chairs, a sideboard along one wall with a water jug and a basket of fruit t
The Alpha Rejected His Bride For Me Chapter 47: She Has To Be
(Kai POV)I crouched at the threshold and looked at the interior without entering it, reading it the way my father had taught me to read spaces before I was old enough to understand why the skill mattered. Dirt floor, disturbed in a pattern consistent with someone sitting against the far wall for an extended period. A depression in the dust where weight had rested. Scuff marks near the entrance where feet had moved quickly, outward, in a hurry.She had been here.I stood up and looked at Scout, one of the three men I had sent ahead at first light, a lean, quiet wolf named Daniel who had been tracking for the pack since before I was old enough to run patrols. He was crouched a few meters from the outpost entrance, examining the ground with the focused patience of someone reading a language most people couldn't see."How long ago?" I asked."Eight hours, maybe ten," Daniel said. "Ground's dry enough that t
The Alpha Rejected His Bride For Me Chapter 46: Thin Ice
(Lena POV)Ryan was in the corridor when I came out of Walter's office.I stopped when I saw him.Kate, still a half step behind me, said nothing.Ryan pushed off the wall and looked at me with an expression that had been constructed to reveal nothing. "How was the meeting?""Fine," I said."Walter treat you well?""He was very hospitable.""Good." He fell into step beside me without being invited, which forced Kate into a slightly awkward repositioning behind us. "I want you to know that changes nothing on my end."I kept walking. "I wasn't under the impression that it did.""Walter is generous by nature," Ryan said. "He extends good faith as a default setting. It's one of his better qualities and occasionally one of his more exploitable ones.""Are you warning me not to exploit it, or warning yourself that I might?""Both," he said, without hesitation. "I've seen peop

I watched Kai's expression shift from resignation to something sharper, more alert."What?" His voice was rough, disbelieving."Theo offered me a way out," I repeated, taking a step closer. My heart was hammering so hard I could feel it in my throat. "He researched bon

Morning came with brutal efficiency. Kai was seated on the chair when I woke."Did you sleep at all?" I asked, sitting up and pushing my hair back from myr face."Enough." he stood, stretching muscles that had gone stiff from hours of immobility. "I have news about your mother."I was on my feet in

Julian sat back in his chair, his expression skeptical, like he was watching me perform some elaborate theatrical production that he'd already seen the ending to."What do you want me to say, Kai? That everything will magically work out?" He sounded tired, exasperated. "You k

The woods called to me, offering the solitude I desperately needed. I walked past the training grounds, past the gardens, until the manicured grounds gave way to wild forest. Here, away from the compound's scrutiny, I could actually breathe.Julian's words kept circling in my
