Rowan Ashby

Rowan was already moving before the second alert finished buzzing, boots half laced, radio in hand, because three separate motion sensors along the southern fence line didn't fire in sequence like that unless something was actually cutting through wire rather than a deer wandering too close.

  • The Alpha's Lost Mate.   Chapter Eighty: The Trail to Draven

    Lena MarshLena hadn't left the study in over twelve hours, and by the time she finally broke through the phone's last layer of encryption, her eyes burned and her hands ached from the same repetitive motions she'd been running since dawn, but the data unfolding on her screen made every hour of it feel suddenly, brutally worth it."I'm in," she said, and her voice cracked slightly from disuse, the first words she'd spoken aloud in nearly an hour.Dominic was at her shoulder immediately, Sophie right behind him, both of them having spent most of the day orbiting the study in the particular restless way of people waiting for news they were simultaneously desperate for and afraid of."Talk me through it," Dominic said."The device belongs to a man named Petrov, mid level security contractor, no formal pack affiliation on paper, the kind of independent operator who works for whoever pays best without asking too many questions about why." Lena scrolled through the recover

  • The Alpha's Lost Mate.   Chapter Seventy-nine: The Breach

    Rowan AshbyRowan was already moving before the second alert finished buzzing, boots half laced, radio in hand, because three separate motion sensors along the southern fence line didn't fire in sequence like that unless something was actually cutting through wire rather than a deer wandering too close."Talk to me," he said into his radio, sprinting across the dark lawn toward the southern boundary, the beam of his flashlight cutting wild arcs through the grass ahead of him."Southern fence, section four," came the reply, tight and breathless. "We've got confirmed visual. One intruder, maybe two, cutting through near the old maintenance gate."Rowan reached the fence line in under two minutes, close enough behind two of his own men to see the shape of it clearly in the spill of the perimeter lights, a section of chain link peeled back at the bottom corner, wire cutters still lodged in the fence itself, abandoned mid cut, and a single figure sprinting hard toward

  • The Alpha's Lost Mate.   Chapter Seventy-eight: What we are Afraid Of

    Dominic SteeleDominic found Sophie sitting on the floor of their room with her back against the bed frame, knees drawn up, staring at nothing in particular, and he lowered himself down beside her without a word, because there wasn't anything left to say about the day itself that either of them hadn't already said a dozen times over the last several hours."Ethan's asleep," she said finally. "I checked twice. Miriam's in the chair by his door. Rowan's got people at every entrance now, doubled again.""I know. I signed off on the rotation myself.""I keep waiting to feel like that's enough," Sophie said. "More people. More cameras. More protocols. I keep thinking eventually one of those things will actually make the fear stop, and it never does. It just moves to a different part of my chest."Dominic reached over and took her hand, not saying anything at first, simply holding it, feeling the faint tremor still running through her fingers even hours after the footprints

  • The Alpha's Lost Mate.   Chapter Seventy-seven: The Wrong Side of the Estate

    Rowan AshbyRowan had every available man on the eastern boundary by two in the morning, chasing a motion sensor alert that turned out, four exhausting hours later, to be nothing more than a herd of deer working their way through the treeline. He would spend the rest of that week furious with himself for not questioning, sooner, why an alert this convenient had come from that particular sensor on that particular night."Confirm it again," he said, standing in the cold with two of his men and a spotlight sweeping uselessly across empty grass. "I want visual confirmation before I stand this crew down.""We've had eyes on this stretch for three hours, Rowan," one of them said, not unkindly, just tired. "Deer tracks, nothing else. Whatever tripped the sensor is long gone, if it was ever more than the deer to begin with."Rowan didn't like it. He couldn't have said exactly why, some low, nagging instinct that refused to settle even as the evidence in front of him confirm

  • The Alpha's Lost Mate.   Chapter Seventy-six: Gerald's Contacts

    Dominic SteeleDominic found Gerald in the east guest room, sitting alone in the near dark with a single lamp burning, and the moment he stepped through the door without knocking, Gerald looked up with an expression that told Dominic his uncle had already guessed exactly why this conversation was finally happening."Vera Kessler," Dominic said, closing the door behind him. "You hired her to trace Miriam's background. When your council challenge collapsed, you tried to pay her to destroy every file she'd gathered on this family. She refused, and weeks later she nearly sold what remained of that file to a buyer connected to Callum Draven's territory."Gerald's jaw tightened, but he didn't deny a single word of it. "I know.""You know.""I've known since the day she took my money and refused to hand over the files," Gerald said. "I understood, sitting across from her in that diner, that I hadn't actually closed anything. I told myself I had, because the alternative mean

  • The Alpha's Lost Mate.   Chapter Seventy-five: The Man in the Parking Lot

    Sophie SteeleSophie felt Ethan's grip tighten around her fingers hard enough to hurt, and by the time she'd turned to ask what was wrong, his face had already gone pale in a way she hadn't seen since the morning his eyes flickered gold in the garden."Ethan?""There's a man over there," he said, low, not pointing, his eyes fixed somewhere past her shoulder toward the parking area at the edge of the community field. "By the grey car. I don't like him."They'd come to the pack's autumn gathering at Brooke's insistence, a low-key community event meant to let the wider pack see Ethan simply as a child rather than a political controversy, and Sophie had agreed cautiously, on the condition that Rowan's people kept a visible presence around the perimeter without making the event itself feel like a security operation. She'd spent the last hour watching Ethan laugh with Tessa over a game involving sticks and an elaborate set of rules only the two of them seemed to fully
