The Alpha's Hidden Debts Chapter 65: He's My Father
Sera's PovSaying it out loud did something that the room had not done.In the room it had been three words from a stranger, arriving too fast, in a building full of noise and urgency and no space to feel any of it. Out here, in the cold dark of the trees, with the alarm already fading behind us and the immediate danger shifting from active to managed, saying it myself to another person made it settle differently.He's my father.Real in a new way. The kind of real that lived in the body rather than just the head.I watched Riven's face while I said it. He was already looking at me, his expression doing the careful thing it did when he was processing something significant, and I waited for the surprise because surprise was what I expected. The widened eyes, the shift of someone receiving information they had not had before.It did not come.He just looked at me. Steady. The expression of a man receiving confirmation rather than news."I know," he said.I stared at him. "You knew?""I
The Alpha's Hidden Debts Chapter 64: Getting Out
Riven's PovI made the call in one second.There was no time for anything else. Dex's voice in my ear meant the outer team was at the main entrance, which gave us the side as long as we moved now, right now, and did not waste the next thirty seconds on anything except moving."Up," I said, and put my hand under the old man's arm.He tried. I had to give him that. His body tried to do what it had been told to do, push off the chair, get upright, move. But thirty years of limited space and limited movement had done something to the muscles and the joints that good intentions could not immediately overcome. He made it halfway up and his legs buckled, not dramatically, just a slow refusal, the quiet rebellion of a body that had been asked for too much too fast after too long.I caught him before he went back down.Caden was already at his other side. He moved without being asked, without any signal from me, just read the situation the same way he read everything in motion and put himself
The Alpha's Hidden Debts Chapter 63: Her Real Name
Sera's PovThe world went very quiet.Not the alarm. The alarm was still going, still pulsing through the walls and the floor and the corridor behind me. But inside my own head there was a specific kind of stillness that had nothing to do with sound, the stillness that came when something so large arrived that your mind stopped everything else to make room for it.He had said my name.Not Sera. The other one. The one my mother had given me and hidden inside a letter she folded so carefully that even I had almost missed the second page. The one I had never said out loud, not to Mara, not to Riven, not to anyone. The name that existed only on that paper and in whatever memory had held it before the paper.He had said it.I did not know how he knew it.My mother had written it in a letter she sealed before she gave it to Mara. She had written it to me, for me, for the daughter she was sending into the world ahead of herself. Nobody else would have seen it. Nobody else could have known.H
The Alpha's Hidden Debts Chapter 62: The Door
Sera's PovRiven got the door open.He did not ask me to move back. He did not position himself in front of me or give me a signal to wait. He just stepped up beside me and worked the lock with the same quiet efficiency I had watched him apply to every obstacle in this building, and twelve seconds later the door came open.The room behind it was small.Not a cell. I registered that immediately, the way I had registered the difference between Northesk's guest room and a cell on my first morning awake there. A cell had a particular quality to its emptiness. This room had a chair, a narrow bed against one wall, a window too high to see through, a small table with a few books on it. The books were old. The kind of old that came from being read many times.And in the chair, a man.He was sitting very still with his hands resting on his knees, the way someone sat when they had learned to keep their body quiet because movement had no purpose in a space this small. White-haired. Thin, thinner
The Alpha's Hidden Debts Chapter 61: Clock Running
Riven's PovThe alarm changed the math.Every plan had a timeline built into it. The timeline was always optimistic because you built plans in calm and ran them in chaos. The alarm meant the gap between the plan and the reality had just become much smaller and was closing fast.I made the decisions in under ten seconds."Two with me," I said, tilting my head toward the Northesk wolves behind us. One of them, Maren, the one with facility infiltration experience, stepped forward. The other, Cord, took position facing back down the corridor without being told, the trained readiness of someone who understood that someone needed to cover the rear and the right person did it without waiting to be assigned."Hold this corridor," I said. "Anyone comes through that doesn't come from us, make noise on the radio."Cord's chin dipped. That was enough.I looked at Caden. "You're with me."He was already moving.I put Sera between us and we went deeper into the building.The alarm was loud, the kin
The Alpha's Hidden Debts Chapter 60: What Her Blood Does in a Fight
Sera's PovEverything happened fast.The guard at the far end of the corridor went for his radio first rather than the alarm, which was either instinct or protocol, and that half-second choice was the thing that decided the next ten seconds.Riven was moving before the guard's hand finished reaching. He did not run, he did not shout, he simply covered the distance between them with the controlled velocity of someone who had made this kind of calculation many times and trusted his own math. Caden was a step behind and to the right, moving on the angle, the two of them spreading out without a signal between them, without a spoken plan, just the automatic geometry of two people who understood the same tactical language.I pressed my back against the corridor wall the way I had agreed to. I watched.The guard was professional. He did not panic. He pivoted toward Riven and met the engagement without dropping the radio, still holding it, which meant he was still trying to send something, st
The Alpha's Hidden Debts Chapter 10: The First Crack
Sera's PovI didn't know about the message for a full day.I found that out later, the way you find out most things in a pack, sideways, after the fact, pieced together from things people don't quite say. Riven had it on his desk for a day before he called me in. I didn't know that when I walked in
The Alpha's Hidden Debts Chapter 9: What Northesk Runs On
Sera's PovMy second week at the household desk started the way the first one ended, with Mara handing me a stack of ledgers and saying, "These haven't been touched since spring," in the tone of someone who'd been waiting a long time to say it to someone other than herself.I worked through them at
The Alpha's Hidden Debts Chapter 2: I Won't Beg for What Should Have Been Mine
Sera's Pov"Sera."I stopped halfway across the yard. Della. She had followed me out of the hall, her shawl pulled tight around her shoulders, her breath making small clouds in the cold air. She looked at the bag on my shoulder and then at my face and I watched her put it together in real time."Wh
The Alpha's Hidden Debts Chapter 1: She Is My Fated Mate
Sera's Pov "She actually thought she deserved to be our Luna. How pathetic."I heard every word and kept my eyes forward, my hands loose at my sides, my breathing even. Three years in this pack taught me that much. You didn't react, you didn't give them the satisfaction. You kept your face smooth
