The Alpha's Cursed Bride CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINE — COME BACK
ORIONOn the fourteenth day after Caele's birth, Nyra came back to the war room.He was already there. He had been there since the sixth hour.She came in at the seventh hour with Caele in one arm and a morning dispatch in the other hand, set the dispatch on the table, set Caele in the chair beside her where a cushion had been placed at some point in the past two weeks, and sat down and opened the dispatch.He looked at her.She looked at the dispatch.She said: "Crest's response arrived."He said: "What does he say."She said: "That he congratulates the Fenwick Realm on the birth of an heir. That the eastern alliance is fully committed. That whatever Caele turns out to be the Crest Pack looks forward to knowing her." She turned the page. "And that the spring conference's agenda should include a formal announcement and a celebration and he would like to host it."He said: "That is a significant offer."She said: "Yes." She set the letter down. "He is committing his pack to the Fenwick
The Alpha's Cursed Bride CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT — THE BIRTH BEGINS
She said: "I will not come again unless you call for me."She walked out.He heard her footsteps going through the corridor and the outer yard and then the sound of the gate.The east wing was quiet.He looked at Nyra.She looked at him.She said: "She said the wolf who loved the mountain became part of it."He said: "Yes."She said: "To Caele."He said: "Yes."She said: "She knows what Caele is going to be."He said: "Yes."She looked at the baby.She said: "So do I."She looked at him.She said: "Something new."He said: "Yes."She said: "This whole Keep has been building toward something new."He said: "Yes."She held the baby in the morning light.He sat beside her.The east wing was warm.The fire was burning.The child was here.After Seraphel left he sat beside Nyra in the east wing for a long time.Not working. Not discussing strategy or correspondence or the Varro monitoring or the allied pack communications. Just sitting.Caele was asleep.The morning was doing what mornings
The Alpha's Cursed Bride CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN — HE READS IT ONE LAST TIME
ORIONShe did not know what was happening to her.That was the most frightening part — not the pain, which was present but not the overwhelming thing, not the fear, which she had decided not to have and mostly did not. The most frightening part was that she could not read what her body was doing and she had always been able to read things.She said: "The clause is not completing."She said it to the healer who was watching carefully and to Orion who was holding her hand and to the room in general because saying it out loud was how she verified information.The healer said: "Correct. The life force is not being drawn."She said: "Something is happening instead."The healer said: "Yes."She said: "What."The healer said: "I have never seen this before."She breathed through what was happening in her body and thought: that is not helpful and that is the most honest thing anyone has said in the past hour.She looked at Orion.He said: "I am here."She said: "I know." She breathed. "I need
The Alpha's Cursed Bride CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX — SHE PREPARES
NYRAThe child came at the seventh hour of the evening.She was small and certain and she came with the specific purposefulness of someone who had been making her presence known for months and had finally decided the time was right.The healer placed her in Nyra's arms.She was there.She was crying — the particular strong cry of a child who had arrived and was informing everyone present of the fact — and Nyra was looking at her with an expression he had never seen on her face before. Not the composure. Not the management. Something open and enormous that did not have a common name.He stood at the side of the room and watched.He had been there through the whole of it — through the long afternoon and the hours and the moments that had required him to be present and the moments that had required him to stay back. He had held her hand and he had breathed with her and he had been in the room because he had promised to be in the room.The child was here.He looked at the child.She was s
The Alpha's Cursed Bride CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE — WHAT HE HAD NEVER TOLD ANYONE
ORIONShe woke at the second hour with the specific awareness of her body telling her something was changing.Not the scare — not the preparation pains the healer had described. Something different. A deepening. A settling.She lay in the dark and breathed through it.It passed.She waited.It came again.She waited through it.It passed again.She sat up.She sat in the dark of the east wing and breathed carefully and waited for the next one and when it came she timed it in her head and when it passed she sat with the information.The intervals were irregular. Not labor. Not yet. But something had started that was moving toward labor and the question was when.She could wake him. He was in the west wing — he had stayed later than usual but had gone eventually — and she could wake him now.She decided to wait for the next one.It came at the fourth hour.Stronger.She got up.She lit the lamp.She dressed carefully and went to the war room and sat at the table and began making notes.
The Alpha's Cursed Bride CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR — EIGHT MONTHS
NYRAThe ninth month arrived the way the other months had arrived — the morning of it was an ordinary morning, the dispatches were on the table, the tea was there in two cups, the garrison report was on top of the pile.She was nine months pregnant.He looked at her across the table.She said: "Do not look at me like that."He said: "Like what."She said: "Like I might break."He said: "I am not looking at you like you might break."She said: "You are looking at me like you are memorizing something."He held that.He said: "Yes."She looked at him.He said: "I am memorizing you at the table with the tea and the morning dispatch. I am memorizing you reading with your pen in your hand and your attention entirely on the page." He paused. "I am memorizing this morning."She looked at him for a long moment.She said: "Don't."He said: "Nyra—"She said: "If you spend the ninth month memorizing things you will miss the things that are happening."He held that.She said: "Be here. In the morn
The Alpha's Cursed Bride CHAPTER FORTY-THREE — THE THING HE HAD BEEN REFUSING TO NAME
ORIONHe was watching her work when Caius appeared in the doorway.He had been watching her work for ten minutes without making the decision to. He had been reading a garrison report and his attention had drifted and landed on her the way attention lands on things when it stops being directed and s
The Alpha's Cursed Bride CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN: THE PERSON WHO EXCITED OUT OF STRATEGY
ORIONThey rode out at dawn on the fifth day.The escort was six wolves the smallest number that was defensible given the faction's timeline, the largest that was practical for the speed the summit required. Caius had left two days prior, south and quiet, carrying Edra's letter and the intelligence

The Alpha's Cursed Bride CHAPTER TWENTY -TWO: SOMETHING HAS CHANGE
NYRA I told Lena what happened in the great hall and she listened without interrupting, which was how she always listened completely, tracking the parts that mattered, letting the parts that did not fall away. When I finished she was quiet for a moment. We were in my chamber. The delegation dinn
