Adrian's POV

The packhouse felt emptier every day.

I walked through the hallways and saw the changes Ricardo had made. New guards at every corner. Different patrol schedules posted on the walls. Pack members who used to greet me now looked away when I passed.

It had only been a few days since the council stripped my position. But it felt longer.

I stopped at the main hall and looked at the portrait of my father still hanging on the wall. His face stared back at me with that same stern expression. Unforgiving. Powerful.

I wondered what he would think of this. His son lost control of the pack within weeks of taking over. The chaos he'd left behind finally caught up to all of us.

The mate bond pulsed in my chest. That same faint relief I'd been feeling since yesterday. Stefan was alive. I knew that much. But I didn't know where he was or if he was truly safe.

I pulled out my phone and checked for messages. Nothing from Dawson or Lauren. They were being careful about communication now th

    Stefan's POVAdrian's hands were everywhere. Mapping my body like territory he needed to memorize. Each touch deliberate. Possessive."You're thinking too much," he said against my neck."I'm not—""You are. I can feel it through the bond. Stop strategizing."He was right. Even now, part of my mind was cataloging risks. Tomorrow's operation. Weak points in our plan. Ways things could go wrong."Help me stop then."Adrian bit down on my shoulder. Not hard enough to break skin but enough to make me gasp. Enough to scatter my thoughts completely."Better?""Getting there."He pushed me back onto the bed. Followed me down. The weight of him grounding. Real. The mate bond pulsed between us, stronger than ever.I pulled him into another kiss. Slower this time. Less desperate. Savoring.His hand slid lower. Teasing. I arched into the touch."Adrian—""Tell me what you want.""You know what I want.""Say it anyway."The dominance in his voice made something in me settle. Submit. I'd spent so

  • The Alpha's Possession   Chapter 80

    Adrian's POV "From someone who got tired of Damian's schemes. Someone in palace intelligence who still remembers what they're supposed to stand for.""That's vague.""That's necessary. If I identify my source, they're dead. I can't give you more than this."I gestured to Lauren. She took the drive to analyze. Would take time to verify the contents but if Victoria was telling the truth, we'd just gained significant intelligence."Why bring this to us?" I asked. "You could have gone directly to the crown prince. Used it to secure your position with him.""Because Damian's people are watching the crown prince. Everything that goes to him gets monitored. But your network is different. Harder to infiltrate. If I give this to you, there's a chance it doesn't get back to Damian before you can act on it."Stefan studied her. "You're risking a lot. If Damian finds out you brought us this, he'll kill you. Slowly.""I'm already dead if I don't act. Damian's consolidating. Eliminating loose ends

  • The Alpha's Possession   Chapter 79

    Adrian's POVThe first attack came three days after our meeting with the crown prince.Not against the compound. Not against our key personnel.Against the alliance itself.Someone leaked our meeting to the press. Carefully edited information that made it look like the packs were scheming with the crown prince against Prince Damian. Like we were choosing sides in a succession conflict."This is a disaster," Councilwoman Marsh said, throwing down the newspaper. "Public opinion is turning against us. They're saying we're interfering in royal politics. Overstepping our authority."I scanned the article. The journalist had done their homework. Quotes from unnamed sources. Details about the monastery meeting that only someone present could have known."Someone from the crown prince's security leaked this," Stefan said. "Or from ours.""Or Victoria," Dawson added. "She's the common link. She coordinated everything.""Victoria wouldn't." But even as I said it, doubt crept in. We'd trusted h

  • The Alpha's Possession   Chapter 78

    Stefan's POVI watched Victoria disappear into the shadows between buildings, moving with the practiced ease of someone who'd spent years hiding in plain sight.Adrian was tense beside me. The mate bond thrummed with his uncertainty, his frustration at having to wait, to trust someone who'd already led us into danger once."You think she's telling the truth?" I asked."I think she believes she is. Whether her intelligence is accurate is another question."We returned to the convoy. Dawson was coordinating with Lauren, already working on excuses to delay the meeting with the crown prince. Medical emergency. Security concerns that needed addressing. Anything that wouldn't make us look like we were backing out entirely."The crown prince won't like this," Dawson said. "He agreed to meet quickly because he needs allies. Delaying makes us look unreliable.""Better unreliable than dead," Adrian replied. "If Victoria's right and this is an assassination setup, showing up gets us all killed

  • The Alpha's Possession   Chapter 77

    Adrian's POVWe spread the documents across the secure conference table.Councilwoman Marsh was there. Dawson and Lauren. Alpha Marcus joined us via secure video link. Everyone who needed to see this without risking the information spreading too widely.I started reading through the first document. Legal testimony from wolves who'd witnessed Kael's challenge for alpha position. Their accounts contradicted the official record."According to this, Kael didn't win the challenge fairly," I said. "His opponent was drugged. Multiple witnesses confirmed it. But their testimonies were suppressed.""That's circumstantial," Marsh said. "Accusations decades old. Hard to prove now.""There's more." Stefan held up another document. "Property records. Kael seized lands that belonged to his brother. Lands that should have passed to the brother's heir. To me."Lauren was photographing everything. Creating digital backups. "This is substantial. Combined, these documents paint a picture of systematic

  • The Alpha's Possession   Chapter 76

    - Stefan's POVThe Bank of Alexandria sat in the heart of neutral territory, surrounded by commercial buildings and enough foot traffic to make a quiet operation impossible.We sat in a conference room at the packhouse, planning the extraction. Adrian, Dawson, Lauren, and six other wolves who specialized in security operations."The bank opens at nine," Dawson said, pulling up building schematics. "We'll need to get there right when they open. Minimize time the prince's people have to organize a response.""They'll be watching," one of the security specialists said. "The moment we enter that bank, they'll know.""Then we plan for confrontation. Two teams. One goes inside to retrieve the documentation. The other maintains perimeter security."Adrian looked at me. "You stay with the perimeter team.""No. I need to be inside. The safety deposit box is registered under my mother's name. They'll need my identification to access it.""We can forge documents.""And risk them refusing access
