The Alpha's Hidden Heir Chapter 156
ERINConnor said no.The word echoed through the command tent like a slap. Every Alpha present went silent. Every pair of eyes turned to watch the confrontation that had been building for days finally explode."No," he repeated. "I won't allow it."I felt something inside me harden."You won't allow it.""Eleven days through terrain no alliance wolf has ever crossed. In weather that's already turning. With an army that's exhausted and undersupplied." Connor's voice was iron. "And you want to lead them there personally. Eight months pregnant with twins.""I want to rescue my mother.""Your mother would rather die than watch you kill yourself and her grandchildren trying to save her."The words hit like a blade.I stepped closer, close enough that only he could hear what I said next."You don't get to make this decision for me.""Someone has to." Connor's eyes held mine. "You've lost perspective. The woman in that valley matters to you more than the eight hundred lives depending on your

ERINThe compound smelled like death.Not bodies. Victor was too methodical for that. But the smell of destruction—charred wood, melted metal, the acrid bite of things that should never have burned. Smoke still rose from collapsed roofs, curling toward a sky that had gone grey with approaching rain.We walked through what remained like mourners at a funeral.The outer walls still stood, blackened but intact. Everything inside had been gutted. Systematically. Methodically. Room by room, building by building, every piece of evidence reduced to ash."This wasn't done in haste," Connor said quietly. "Look at the burn patterns. Controlled fires, set in sequence. They took their time."I knelt beside a pile of debris that had once been the records room. The filing cabinets had been emptied before they were burned—metal shells standing open, their contents nothing but grey powder scattered by the wind."They knew we were coming.""They've known for weeks." Connor's voice was grim. "This with

ERINI found Jake at the training grounds.The sun was setting, painting the sky in shades of orange and red that looked like fire. He stood alone near the weapons rack, testing the balance of a blade he would carry into the most dangerous assignment the campaign offered."We need to talk."He didn't turn around."About my volunteering.""Yes.""Connor already tried." Jake set down the blade, finally facing me. "My answer hasn't changed.""I'm not Connor."Something flickered across his expression—pain, maybe, or resignation."No. You're not."I stepped closer, close enough to see the exhaustion carved into the lines around his eyes. He hadn't been sleeping. The signs were obvious to anyone who knew how to look."You're not doing this because you believe in the mission." The accusation came out softer than I intended. "You're doing this because of what you saw.""What did I see, Erin?""Me. With Marty. Asleep in separate chairs after talking all night.""I know what I saw." Jake's voi

ERINWe sat in silence after Marty's words settled.The empty hall stretched around us, cold and dark except for the single lamp he had been using to clean his blade. Shadows pooled in the corners like secrets waiting to be spoken."You spent thirty years serving people who saw you as a tool," I said quietly. "How did you survive it?"Marty's eyes found mine across the space between us."I didn't survive it. Not really." His voice was low, roughened by memories he rarely shared. "The man I was—the one who believed he was worth nothing more than his usefulness—that man died in pieces over decades. Every time I obeyed an order I knew was wrong. Every time I stayed silent when I should have spoken.""What changed?""You."The word hung in the air."Not romantically. Not at first." Marty set down the blade he had been holding, giving me his full attention. "When I met you, I saw someone who had every reason to believe she was worthless. Abandoned. Hunted. Carrying a bloodline that made he

ERINMy mother might be half Blackthorne.The thought circled in my mind like a vulture, patient and relentless. Every time I tried to push it away, it returned. Every time I convinced myself the registry was wrong, the evidence reassembled itself into the same terrible shape.Marcus Blackthorne. My mother's father.Victor Blackthorne. The man hunting me.If the registry was accurate, they were the same family. The same blood. The same line that had been erased from every official record and buried by council conspiracy.Which meant Victor wasn't just my enemy.He might be my uncle.Wren found me staring at the lineage chart three hours after I should have been asleep. The candles had burned low, casting flickering shadows across the documents spread before me."You haven't moved," she said quietly."I can't stop looking at it.""Looking won't change what it says." Wren settled into the chair beside me. "But I need to tell you something before you carry this weight any further.""Tell

ERINI told Wren about the dream.She listened without interrupting, her aged hands wrapped around a cup of tea that had long gone cold. When I finished, she didn't offer comfort. She offered truth."The absence of a cell is not necessarily good news."The words settled into my chest like stones."What do you mean?""Your mother has been a captive for over a year. If her circumstances have changed—if she's been moved from a cell to comfortable quarters—there are only two explanations." Wren set down her cup. "Either Victor is softening her through kindness rather than cruelty...""Or?""Or she has given him something valuable enough to earn better treatment."I thought about the dream. My mother's calm expression. The way she had said he's not what you think."She wouldn't betray us.""Perhaps not intentionally." Wren's voice was careful. "But captivity changes people. Isolation changes people. A year of being the only Moonblood in enemy hands, with no certainty of rescue—that weight
