The Alpha's Forbidden Auction Mate Chapter one hundred and fifty seven
Mira's POVHe didn't leave immediately, though. He remained standing there, alone among his own scattering forces, and something in the particular way he studied me, considerable grief still evident beneath his weathered composure, told me this conversation wasn't genuinely finished yet."You know my name," he said finally, and I realized, with some surprise, that I actually didn't, that across every previous encounter, every unsettling appearance, every accumulated fear he'd represented throughout this extraordinary journey, nobody had ever once properly introduced him to me directly."I don't," I admitted honestly.Something almost bitter touched his weathered expression. "Cassian. Not that it matters considerably, given everything else.""It matters," I said quietly. "You're not simply the danger I've spent months preparing to face, Cassian. You're someone who lost people you loved, generations ago, and who's spent your entire life trying to prevent that same loss from ever happeni

Rowan's POVThey arrived at dawn, considerable numbers gathering along Blackwood's northern border, the scarred man positioned at their center with the same unsettling calm I remembered from that dungeon breach months earlier. The morning mist hadn't properly cleared yet, and their figures emerged from it gradually, first as vague shapes and then, as the sun climbed higher, as an unmistakable, considerable force, warriors and witches and others I couldn't properly identify from this distance, all arranged with the particular discipline of people who had prepared for this exact moment across considerable time.I stood at the front of Blackwood's own assembled warriors, Mira beside me, the First Witch positioned nearby, her ancient presence carrying genuine, unmistakable weight despite her deliberate choice to stand alongside us rather than command from behind. She wore simple clothes, nothing that marked her authority the way I half expected, and I understood, watching her, that this t

Mira's POVI spent most of that final afternoon in the infirmary, mostly because I needed my hands occupied with something ordinary before the extraordinary arrived, whatever shape it eventually took. Maren let me fold linens for an hour without asking a single question, understanding, from the particular careful quiet I carried, that I wasn't looking for conversation so much as the simple, steadying rhythm of useful work.Toby found me there eventually, breathless from whatever game had occupied his afternoon, and demanded I settle another argument, this one concerning whether wolves dreamed the same way people did. I answered him as thoroughly as I could manage, watching his face carry none of the fear that had settled so heavily over the rest of the pack these past days, and felt something in my chest tighten at the particular, aching tenderness of wanting, more than almost anything else, to ensure he never properly had to learn what tomorrow might actually cost.I found the garden

Mira's POVThe peace lasted exactly four days.I had allowed myself, during those four days, something I hadn't properly permitted myself in longer than I could remember. Genuine, uncomplicated hope. I had spent mornings in the infirmary with Maren, afternoons walking the training grounds with Rowan, evenings talking with the First Witch, whose careful, halting attempts at ordinary conversation had grown steadily less halting with each passing day. She'd asked me, on the third evening, what my favorite food was, an entirely ordinary question that had apparently taken her considerable courage to voice, and I'd found myself laughing properly for the first time in weeks when she confessed she hadn't asked anyone something so simple in longer than she could properly remember.I found Rowan in his study early on the fifth morning, and understood immediately, from the particular grim focus tightening every line of his expression, that whatever peace we'd been building had just ended."The s

Rowan's POVShe returned three days later, considerably different in her bearing than her initial, unsettling arrival, something genuinely humbled evident throughout her careful, measured approach toward Blackwood's gates. This time no guards moved to intercept her. This time the warriors along the wall simply watched, quiet and curious, understanding, from whatever accounts had already circulated through the pack these past three days, that whoever this ancient woman actually was, she had not come to bring the destruction her arrival had first suggested.I met her personally at the gate, understanding, from Mira's own account of their extraordinary conversation, that whatever remained ahead required considerably more than simple wary tolerance. Up close, in the pale morning light, she looked tired in a way I hadn't properly registered during our first, tense confrontation, faint shadows beneath her eyes, her shoulders carrying a slight, weary stoop she hadn't shown before."Alpha Row

Mira's POVI found the First Witch the following evening exactly where the pack's youngest scouts had reported her waiting, at the edge of Blackwood's grounds, watching the sunset with the same particular patient stillness I had noticed throughout our earlier conversation. She hadn't returned to whatever place she'd traveled from, hadn't withdrawn the way I half expected an ancient, wary being to do after such a significant exchange. She had simply remained, close enough that the pack's warriors still maintained careful watch, distant enough that she clearly understood the need for genuine space."You've been thinking," she observed, without turning immediately toward me, though something in her voice suggested she'd noticed my approach considerably before I properly announced it."I have," I confirmed, settling onto the grass beside her rather than standing over her the way formal confrontation might have suggested. The evening carried a gentler chill than the previous night's had, a
