The Alpha's Forbidden Auction Mate chapter one hundred and fifty
Mira's POVUp close, the First Witch's presence felt considerably different from the distant, unsettling awareness I had sensed approaching these past days, warmer somehow, though something ancient and immeasurably weighted still lingered beneath her calm, elegant bearing. We had settled onto a low stone bench near the edge of the training grounds, close enough to the pack house that Rowan's watchful presence remained visible at the corner of my vision, far enough that our conversation carried privately across the cooling evening air.Up close, I could see details the distance had obscured. Fine lines at the corners of her eyes, the particular kind that came from genuine, repeated laughter rather than simple age. A small, faded scar along her jaw that made her feel, suddenly, considerably more mortal than the ancient, unsettling figure I'd braced myself to face. She smelled faintly of something I couldn't properly name, not quite herbs, not quite smoke, something that reminded me dist

Rowan's POVShe arrived three days later, at dusk, walking alone through Blackwood's main gate without escort, without any visible weapon or obvious threat accompanying her unhurried approach. The sky had turned the particular deep orange it sometimes did before the first proper frost of the season, and against that light her figure appeared first as simply a silhouette, tall and unhurried, moving with a pace that suggested she had all the time in the world and intended to use every moment of it.I had prepared for considerable danger, warriors positioned carefully throughout the grounds, Lyra standing ready with whatever protective magic she could properly muster on short notice, Elias stationed near the eastern wall with a considerable contingent held in reserve should the situation genuinely deteriorate. None of it seemed to matter, watching this single, unassuming figure approach with the particular calm certainty of someone who understood, completely, that no defense we had assem

Mira's POVLyra's message to the Moon Court returned within days, considerably faster than any previous correspondence, and I understood, watching her expression as she read through the council's response, that our discoveries had genuinely shaken something significant within their own careful, ancient understanding. She read it twice through before finally looking up, and something in the careful stillness of her expression told me the contents carried more weight than a simple acknowledgment."They're sending someone directly," she said, folding the letter carefully. "Not simply a written response. A formal envoy, understanding the significance of everything we've uncovered.""When?" Rowan asked."Within the week."We spent the following days preparing carefully, gathering every piece of evidence properly organized, understanding the Moon Court's council would need considerable context to properly appreciate everything we had discovered about Wren's tragic story, the misinterpreted

Rowan's POVWe gathered every piece of evidence we had accumulated over these past weeks, Corwin's diary, Wren's complete account, the original prophecy texts from Blackwood's own hidden collection, and spread them across my study table, understanding that somewhere within this considerable accumulated knowledge, we might finally properly understand the full scope of what actually awaited us. The table itself had grown crowded enough that we'd taken to stacking the less immediately relevant texts along the floor beneath it, an arrangement Elias had grumbled about more than once, though he'd stopped grumbling entirely once he understood how genuinely close we were to something significant."Read the original prophecy again," Mira said, gesturing toward the ancient text Adrian had first shown us months earlier, its edges considerably more worn now from months of repeated handling than they had been the day we first uncovered it. "Properly, word for word, without the assumptions everyone

Mira's POVWe returned to the diary one final time the following morning, understanding we had reached its concluding pages, and I settled before the worn leather cover with a particular mixture of anticipation and genuine dread, uncertain what this final revelation might demand of me. The chamber felt different that morning, quieter somehow, as though it too understood we had arrived at something conclusive. Even the small, steady lights Lyra had strung along the walls seemed dimmer, or perhaps I simply noticed the dimness more, my attention narrowed entirely onto the worn leather resting across my knees.Rowan sat close beside me, his shoulder pressed lightly against mine, a quiet, deliberate reassurance rather than anything demanding my attention. Elias had settled cross-legged near the low table, uncharacteristically still. Lyra remained standing, arms crossed, her posture carrying the particular tension of someone bracing for news she already suspected would prove difficult.The

Mira's POVLyra's expression grew increasingly troubled as I explained everything the final memory had revealed, and I watched her pace my study with obvious agitation, working through the implications with considerable focus. She moved the way she always did when genuinely unsettled, quick, restless steps that carried her from the window to the bookshelf and back again, as though physical motion might somehow help her properly organize thoughts too large to sit still with."The First Witch," she said slowly. "I've heard fragments of that name throughout my own studies, though never anything conclusive. Ancient references, mostly, suggesting someone existing since the earliest days of supernatural history, considerably before even Selene's own time.""You think she's still alive," Rowan said, understanding the implication immediately."I think it's entirely possible," Lyra said grimly. "Beings this ancient and powerful don't simply disappear. They withdraw, sometimes for centuries, ob
