Miriam had a notebook of her own now, considerably less formal than Lena's careful spreadsheets, but no less thorough, and she sat at the kitchen table with Sophie and Ethan both, working through what had quickly become the most contested category of the entire planning process.

  • The Alpha's Lost Mate.   Their Turn

    Rowan Ashby had been carrying the small, velvet-lined box tucked safely inside his jacket pocket for considerably less time than Dominic had carried his, only a handful of days, in fact. Yet, as he stood in the late-afternoon sun along the newly thriving garden strip at the edge of the estate, he found the sharp, fluttery edge of his nerves no less intense for the shorter wait.He stayed motionless for a moment, watching Lena kneeling on the soft earth among the lush green basil plants. There was a particular, focused contentment on her face, a serene stillness she brought to this modest patch of ground that had once defeated both of their complete lack of gardening skills so thoroughly."You're staring again," Lena said, snipping a stray stem without bothering to look up from her work. "You've been doing that a lot lately.""Have I?" Rowan replied, feigning innocence poorly as he took a slow step closer over the gravel path."You have," Lena said. She sat back on her heels, wiping he

  • The Alpha's Lost Mate.   Mixed-Up Delivery

    Lena Marsh checked the sleek black watch strapped tightly to her left wrist. She had exactly four minutes before the wedding ceremony officially began in the estate's private courtyard, and she was currently using every single one of those precious seconds standing near the side entrance, listening to Torsten explain, in a hushed, utterly mortified rush, precisely how an external courier delivering his personal wedding gift had nearly turned around at the front gate."I told him the delivery window clearly, well before noon," Torsten said, his hands moving in tight, anxious gestures as he glanced nervously back toward the sunlit garden, where the small gathering of close friends and family was already settling into their designated seats. "He arrived an hour early instead, and the gate staff, quite reasonably, didn't want to disrupt anything by letting an unscheduled commercial vehicle through during the private ceremony itself. I came ahead specifically to sort it out quietly, before

  • The Alpha's Lost Mate.   One Last Objection

    Dominic was still turning Torsten's request over when Corvin's name appeared on his phone the following morning, and something in the timing alone told him, before he'd even answered, that whatever came next would require considerably more diplomacy than a simple wedding guest list decision."Alpha Steele," Corvin said, his voice carrying the same formal stiffness Dominic remembered from the council sessions. "I understand you've received a request from the new Alpha of Draven's former territory to attend your wedding.""Word travels quickly," Dominic said carefully."I wanted to raise a concern before you made any decision," Corvin said. "I understand the impulse toward reconciliation, given everything this region has been through this past year. But I'd ask you to consider what it signals to invite representation from that territory to a private family celebration so soon after everything Draven did to your household. Some of us worked hard to isolate that territory politically. I'd

  • The Alpha's Lost Mate.   Getting Ready

    Miriam had flour on her sleeve, a half-finished seating chart pinned to the kitchen wall, and Vivienne standing over her shoulder offering opinions Miriam had not, strictly speaking, asked for. She found herself, three days before the wedding, genuinely unable to remember the last time she'd laughed this much while also being this exhausted."You've put Halvard at the same table as Corvin," Vivienne observed, studying the chart with a critical eye. "I don't believe those two have ever exchanged a single friendly word in their lives.""They'll manage for one dinner," Miriam said, though she was already reaching for the pin to move it regardless."They will not manage," Vivienne said. "Corvin still hasn't forgiven Halvard for some grazing dispute from a decade ago that I've heard recounted at three separate council sessions since. Put him near Alpha Ferris instead. Ferris finds him tedious, but tolerates him considerably better.""You have an entire mental map of who tolerates whom," Mi

    Miriam had a notebook of her own now, considerably less formal than Lena's careful spreadsheets, but no less thorough, and she sat at the kitchen table with Sophie and Ethan both, working through what had quickly become the most contested category of the entire planning process."We are not having a formal seated dinner," Ethan said, with the particular firmness he brought to matters he considered genuinely important. "Weddings always have that boring kind of food where everyone gets the same plate and it's some fancy thing nobody actually likes.""What would you suggest instead," Sophie asked, genuinely curious, since Ethan had clearly given this considerable thought."Stations," Ethan said. "Like a proper choice. Pasta, obviously, because that's the whole family's actual favorite. And Miriam's garlic bread. And Gerald's tomatoes, from the garden, made into something, maybe a salad, since he grew them himself and I think people should know that."Miriam wrote this down carefully, gen

  • The Alpha's Lost Mate.   A Small Gift

    Sophie Steele sat at the polished wooden kitchen table the following morning, the crisp, cool sunlight of early autumn filtering through the wide bay windows overlooking the quiet back garden. Beside her sat Dominic, his shoulder resting gently against hers as he cradled a steaming ceramic mug of dark coffee. Both of them still glowed faintly with the peaceful, lingering warmth of the previous night's anniversary celebration. The evening had been filled with rare, quiet joy—a brief reprieve from the heavy administrative burdens that had weighed on their shoulders for the better part of a year.Sophie pulled her laptop closer across the table and opened the newly published regional magazine feature covering the restoration of her father’s old villa studio. Scrolling past the elegant, professional photographs of the sunlit woodworking shop and the restored heritage furniture, she searched the public reader interaction section until she found the specific comment Priya had flagged for h
