The Alpha Who Threw Me Away Chapter Ninety-One: Twelve Documents
Selene’s POVHe picks up before I finish raising the phone to my ear.“Ms. Avery.” His voice is different from what I expected, though I could not have said what I expected. Quieter. More careful. The voice of someone who has been holding something for a long time and is aware that saying it wrong could ruin the saying entirely. “Thank you for calling quickly.”“Tell me what you have,” I say.A brief pause. Not hesitation. The pause of someone who has organised what they are going to say and is finding the right place to begin.“When my brother died six years ago,” he says, “I was named as secondary executor of his private estate. Not his territory holdings — those passed to Caden. His private affairs. Documents, correspondence, personal records he kept separate from the official governance files.” He pauses. “I did not expect to find anything significant. My brother and I had not spoken in nine years at that point.”“Why had you not spoken,” I say.“Because of what I found fifteen ye
The Alpha Who Threw Me Away Chapter Ninety: Aldric Voss
Selene’s POVI read the name twice.Aldric Voss.Not Caden. Caden’s name is not Aldric. I have known Caden’s name since the first evening he introduced himself in a corridor outside the dining room and said please, just Caden, the way people say it when they want you to use their name rather than their title.Aldric Voss.I type back to Edrin immediately.Who is he.The reply takes four minutes, which means Edrin was not sitting with his phone waiting for my response but went and found the information before he answered.Caden’s father’s younger brother. He has been estranged from the Voss family for approximately fifteen years. He reached out to my office three weeks ago asking if I had contact information for you. He said it was important. He did not say why.I show the phone to Lucian.He reads it.His face does the careful arithmetic.“Caden’s uncle,” he says.“Yes,” I say. “Estranged. For fifteen years.” I pause. “Caden’s father has been dead for six years. Which means the estran
The Alpha Who Threw Me Away Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Morning After
Lucian’s POVSaturday morning arrives quietly.This is what mornings do after days that have given everything they have — they arrive without announcement, almost apologetically, as if aware that what came before them was significant and they are just the ordinary thing that follows.I am at the window at five-thirty.Not the desk. The window. The mountains are grey and close in the pre-dawn the way they always are, and the grounds are still dark, and somewhere below me the pack house is in its deepest quiet, the hour before anyone else is awake.I think about January.I think about Selene’s face last night when I told her the real reason. The way she listened without interrupting and without performing patience, just actually patient, taking in what I said and deciding what to do with it rather than reacting to it immediately.She said before the day. From now on.I said yes.I meant it the way I have been trying to mean things this year, which is without qualification, without the m
The Alpha Who Threw Me Away Chapter Eighty-Eight: Southern Territories
Selene’s POVI look at the phone in Lucian’s hand.Southern territories prefix. Unknown number. Friday evening, after an assembly and a complaint and an access log and Bowen telling us about page seventy-one and everything else this day has contained.The day is not finished apparently.“Pick up,” I say.He picks up.I watch his face while he listens and I have gotten good at reading it, the specific language of what happens underneath the composure when something arrives that he was not expecting. Right now it is doing the careful recalibration, the fast arithmetic of someone receiving information and sorting it simultaneously.He says very little.Yes. When. I see. He asks one question I cannot hear the answer to. Then he says, I will call you back in the morning, and hangs up.He looks at the phone for a moment.Then at me.“That was a territory administrator from the southern pack council,” he says. “A man named Fenn.” He pauses. “He was calling because the southern council has be
The Alpha Who Threw Me Away Chapter Eighty-Seven: He Knew
Lucian’s POVThe room looks at me.Selene. Halsey. Bowen, with his tea and his expression of a man who has just passed a significant weight to someone else and is monitoring how they are carrying it.I come into the room and sit in the remaining chair because standing in the doorway while three people look at me is not a position I intend to maintain.“Since January,” I say. “Bowen told me in January.”Selene is looking at me with the specific quality she has when she is deciding whether something is a breach of honesty or a decision made for reasons she has not yet heard. She does not speak. She waits. This is one of the things I have learned about her — she gives space for the explanation before she decides what to do with the action.“He came to me because he needed to tell someone,” I say. “And because he wanted to understand it before he told you.” I look at her steadily. “He was not certain how you would receive it and he wanted to think it through with someone who was already i
The Alpha Who Threw Me Away Chapter Eighty-Six: The Second Thing
Selene’s POVI look at the doorway.Bowen is standing in it with his tea and his dressing gown and the specific expression of a man who has been listening from the corridor for longer than is strictly appropriate and has decided the conversation has reached the point where his presence is more useful than his pretending not to be there.“Sit down,” I say.“I am fine standing,” he says.“Bowen.”He comes in and sits in the chair beside the desk.Halsey looks at him with the expression she uses for people she has decided to respect, which is not a large category but which apparently includes Bowen, which I find entirely appropriate.“You have been deciding for three months,” I say. “Tell me.”He wraps both hands around his tea.“The historical documentation on fullbonds is not extensive,” he says. “It was not well understood when it occurred and the territories where it happened were small and their records are incomplete.” He pauses. “What was documented consistently, across all three
The Alpha Who Threw Me Away Chapter One: Two Sugars, No Cream
The coffee is always two sugars, no cream.I know this the way I know which floorboard outside his bedroom creaks, which window in the east corridor sticks in the rain, which light switch needs two tries before it catches. Small, useless knowledge that my body collected without my permission. Three
The Alpha Who Threw Me Away Chapter Five: Three People, One Corridor
I have a rule about crying in front of people.I do not do it.Not in front of Mara, who would hold me and mean well and somehow make it worse. Not in front of the pack members who whisper when I pass. Certainly not in front of Lucian Blackthorn, who forfeited the right to my tears the moment he s
The Alpha Who Threw Me Away Chapter Four: What Bowen Knows
Elder Bowen does not rush.This is the first thing you learn about him. He moves through the world at his own pace, deliberate and unhurried, and he has a way of occupying a room that makes you feel like the room was always waiting for him to arrive. He steps into the kitchen now and looks at Mara
The Alpha Who Threw Me Away Chapter Three: What He Doesn’t Say
I do not sleep well.This is not new. Sleep has been a negotiation since the rejection, something I have to coax and bargain with every night. Some nights I win. Other nights I lie in the dark staring at the ceiling of my small room on the third floor and wait for morning to come and end the argume
