Adrian's POV

The 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 84

    Adrian’s POVExtraction was fast and silent.No pursuit.That confirmed it wasn’t a retreat Damian cared about.We regrouped at the forward safe site within the hour. Screens lit up as soon as we crossed the perimeter.Lauren didn’t wait for orders.“Confirmed strikes in five territories,” she said. “Infrastructure hits. Communication relays. Two pack councils compromised.”Not wiped out.Disrupted.“He’s destabilizing, not conquering,” Stefan said.“Yes,” I replied. “He’s isolating leadership.”Team members removed gear but stayed alert. No one relaxed. Everyone felt it.This wasn’t a failed mission.It was a redirected one.“And Victoria?” I asked.Lauren shook her head. “No confirmed location. But she’s moving. Her signal surfaced briefly during one of the strikes.”“She’s alive,” Stefan said.“Alive and mobile,” I agreed. “Which means she’s part of his timing.”That was the piece Damian wanted us to see last.I pulled the senior team into the strategy room.No raised voices. No pa

  • The Alpha's Possession   Chapter Eighty-three:

    Adrian’s POV The strike team moved within minutes of the order.No speeches. No hesitation.Weapons were issued from secured lockers. Ammunition checked and rechecked. Comms synced to short-range encrypted channels only.I ran final confirmations as we moved.“Team One, status.”“Green.”“Team Two.”“Green.”Stefan stood to my right, already armored, eyes forward. The mate bond was steady for now. Tight. Focused.I checked the roster one last time. Smaller than the original plan. Faster. Less margin.“Rules are unchanged,” I said. “No unnecessary engagement. Primary objective is disruption, not occupation. We do not linger.”Acknowledgements came back immediately.Transport lifted without ceremony. No lights. No markings.The ride was silent except for system indicators and breathing over comms.I felt Stefan shift closer as we neared the drop zone. Not a distraction. A confirmation.We were in this together.The estate perimeter came into view on the tactical display.Security cover

  • The Alpha's Possession   Chapter 82

    Adrian’s POVThe alarm activated.Not loud. Controlled. A low system pulse that meant one thing.Breach.I was already moving.“Lockdown. Level Black. Seal all exits.”Red indicators lit across the wall display. Gates closed. Internal doors sealed. Defensive systems armed.Stefan was up and pulling on clothes, tablet in hand.“East exit,” Dawson reported over comms. “No forced entry. Clearance override used.”“Whose clearance?” I asked.There was a pause.“…Yours, Alpha.”Stefan looked at me. “That can’t be right.”“It can,” I said. “Just unlikely.”I accessed the system.“Lauren. Logs.”“Reviewing now,” she replied. “Override was clean. No biometric conflict. No alert triggered.”“She didn’t break security,” I said. “She was authorized.”Which meant someone let her go.I stepped into the corridor. Guards were already moving into position.“Full personnel freeze,” I ordered. “Everyone stays where they are unless reassigned. No one leaves the compound.”Acknowledgements came in immedia

    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
