The Alpha’s Barren Luna Chapter Thirty-Three: The Appointment
Wren POV You smell like her. I got home later than I meant to that evening, my mind still stuck back in that meeting room, back to the warmth of his hand around my wrist and the way his breath had felt against my neck. I went straight to the kitchen anyway, pulling out pots and pans, trying hard to lose myself in the simple motion of cooking. Chop. Stir. Season. I needed something ordinary to hold onto, something that didn't have his face attached to it anywhere at all. I failed completely. I stood at the stove, stirring something I could no longer even name, my thoughts drifting helplessly back to the sound of his voice, the warmth of him so close, the words he'd murmured without ever meaning to say them out loud. I didn't notice the water had begun boiling over, hissing angrily against the hot metal, until a small hand tugged at my sleeve. "Mom. Mom, the water's burning." I blinked hard and looked down to find Quinn staring up at me, her small face pulled into a frown of con
The Alpha’s Barren Luna Chapter Thirty-Two: The Call
Kade POV I watched her leave the room, and I couldn't stop my eyes from following her all the way to the door. Something about her had been sitting heavy in my chest since the moment I first walked into that meeting, something strange and stubborn that I couldn't name and couldn't shake loose no matter how hard I tried to push it aside. The way she held herself. The way her voice dropped when she was holding something back. The way she had gone so still under my hand, like she was bracing for something she couldn't explain. It all reminded me of Elira. Not her face. That was the strange part, the part that kept catching on itself in my mind. Wren Ashford did not look like my wife. She had different hair, different eyes, a different way of carrying her shoulders entirely. And yet everything underneath that, every small gesture, every careful pause before she spoke, felt like something I had known once, a long time ago, in a life that had slipped through my fingers. She was shutti
The Alpha’s Barren Luna Chapter Thirty-One: The Scent
Wren POV"You were shaking," Kade said, still standing close behind me. "And you looked genuinely unwell. I didn't stop to think, I just —"I pulled myself together, fast, before he could see any more of me than he already had.He cannot know. He cannot ever find out who I truly am. If he finds out, he will take Quinn away from me, and I will lose the one thing I built this entire life to protect, piece by careful piece.I slipped the coat slowly off my shoulders and turned to hand it back to him, my movements stiff and tightly controlled."Thank you for your concern, Mr. Reyes." My voice came out harder than I meant it to. "But that wasn't necessary."He blinked, visibly taken aback by the sharpness of my tone, but he took the coat without any argument and settled back slowly into his seat across from me. I sat too, folding my hands on the table, forcing my spine straight."Let's get back to business," I said, my tone brisk and businesslike again. "Why are you really here, Mr. Reyes?
The Alpha’s Barren Luna Chapter Thirty: The Man in the Meeting Room
Wren POVI walked into the office that morning already thinking about the day ahead, and Helen fell into step beside me the moment I came through the door, with her notepad in hand as always."Good morning, Miss Ashford. Your schedule for today." She scanned the page as we walked. "First, a meeting with the logistics team at nine. Then a client has requested a sit-down at eleven, though I haven't gotten the name yet, only that it was booked through a third party.""No name at all, not even a hint?""Not yet. Their assistant said they would confirm it closer to the time.""Strange. Keep an eye on it.""I will."The morning went quickly after that. The nine o'clock meeting closed a project we had all been working on for several long weeks, everyone around the table satisfied, hands shaken warmly, papers finally signed. I left feeling good about it. By early afternoon, I was sitting in another meeting, this one with the full board present, going carefully through quarterly numbers and th
The Alpha’s Barren Luna Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Company
Kade POVThe Gamma arrived at my study not long after I'd sent for him, and he stood waiting while I finished writing on a page before me."I want you to look into trading routes," I said, setting down my pen. "Roads, ships, anything. We need alternatives, and we need them soon.""I already have, Alpha."I looked up. "And?""I spent the morning on it, and the roads are limited. Nearly every route in this region passes through other pack territories, and most of them are allied with the pack that just closed the Doraine road to us. The only routes that don't cross pack land at all lead into the human cities."I sat back slowly."Human cities.""Yes, Alpha."I thought about it for a long moment, turning it over carefully in my mind. Wolves had moved into the human world before, a handful here and there, scattered over the years. Blending in quietly, building lives among them without ever being noticed. It was not unheard of. But it was not simple either. Most humans still did not know w
The Alpha’s Barren Luna Chapter Twenty-Eight: By Force
Kade POVI unfolded the letter and began to read.The first line was enough.We have no intention of granting passage to your pack, now or in the future.My jaw tightened. I kept reading, and it only got worse. The rival Alpha's words grew sharper with every line, until he was no longer simply refusing me. He was mocking me. He wrote at length about how unfit I must truly be to lead a pack that could not even manage to secure its own road. He wrote that perhaps my people deserved a weaker Alpha than the one I claimed to be.I crushed the letter in my fist before I even realized my hand had moved on its own, the paper crackling loudly in the silence."We take it by force, then," I said.The Gamma's eyes widened, startled. "Alpha—""I said exactly what I said. If they won't give it to us through words, through reasonable negotiation, then we take it.""Alpha, please, I beg you. Think carefully about what you're saying right now." His voice was urgent, careful, the voice of a man trying
