The Alpha's Rejected Mate Chapter Forty two
Milrac's povWe kept the young wolf in the stable until he told us everything he knew, which wasn't much and was probably true precisely because of that.His name was Fen. Nineteen years old. No pack affiliation. My grandmother had found him at the eastern gate offering food and coin for a simple errand. He hadn't known what he was carrying. He hadn't known who she was.I believed him.Which made him useless and dangerous in equal measure."Lock him in the upper storage room," I told Calla. "Not the cells. Comfortable enough. He stays until after the full moon."Fen didn't argue. He looked relieved to be locked somewhere with a door between himself and whatever he'd accidentally walked into.Smart boy.Calla took him. I stood in the empty stable with Ava, the third dagger between us on a stable post, the letter still in her hand."Three daggers," she said."One in the ruins. One we recovered. One delivered tonight by a boy who didn't know what he was holding.""She's been collecting t

Milrac's povThe confirmation came at nightfall.Not dramatically. Not with fire or messenger or Council script pinned to a gate post. It came through the bond, quiet and cold, the way the worst things always do.The false current I had released that morning — the resignation, the surrender, the carefully constructed lie of a pair who had stopped fighting……, had moved through Deren and out the other side within six hours.I felt the moment it reached its destination.A pulse at the far edge of the bond, distant and deliberate. Something receiving the signal. Something that was not one of the forty-three.I was in the war room when it happened. I didn't move. Didn't speak. Simply stood at the map table and let the information settle into me while my face gave nothing away.Ava walked in two minutes later and looked at me once."It reached them," she said."Six hours. They have someone closer than the treeline."Her eyes sharpened. "Inside the walls?""No. But close. The eastern approa

Milrac's povI woke before dawn with Ava still asleep against my chest and three urgent knocks at the door.Calla's voice came through the wood. "Alpha. You need to see this."Ava was already awake. The bond had delivered the urgency before the sound did.We dressed in under a minute and found Calla in the hallway, face tight, a folded note in her hand."Scout found it pinned to the southern gate post," she said. "No scent. No tracks."I unfolded it.Single line. Council script.One of your forty-three is not yours.---Ava's povI read it twice. "A spy.""Or a warning designed to make us turn on our own people," Milrac said. He handed the note back to Calla. "Tell no one. Post additional watches on the southern approach. Wake the two senior healers and have them report to the war room."Calla left at pace.Milrac looked at me. Through the bond I felt the cold calculation running, but underneath it something sharper. Personal."They're trying to fracture the forty-three from the insid

Milrac's povThe gathering took less than an hour.We told them everything. Soren and Mira. The Council's game. What the full moon would demand. When we finished, nobody left.Calla spoke first. "We hold our own minds. Feel you both, but stay ourselves.""Exactly," Ava said.A young wolf near the back raised his hand. "What if it gets too loud? What if I can't separate my thoughts from yours?""You come to us immediately," I said. "We can quiet it without severing anything."He nodded. That settled it.The forty-three dispersed. Watches set, doors latched, fires banked.---Ava's povMy mother caught me on the stairs.She pressed her palm briefly to my cheek. "You did well today."It hit somewhere I hadn't armored."Rest," I told her. "We need you sharp."She looked past me toward Milrac, then back. "He's a good man. I didn't expect that."Gone before I could answer.I stood there a moment, feeling the bond hum. Feeling Milrac's awareness brush mine from across the hall. Not a thought
The Alpha's Rejected Mate Chapter Thirty eight
Milrac's povThe book in Ava's hands was older than the mansion. Older, possibly, than the pack itself.I watched her read, the bond carrying the exact moment each passage landed in her, a flicker of recognition, then the sharp tightening that meant something had frightened her and she had decided not to show it. She was getting better at managing her expressions. The bond made that irrelevant. I felt every word hit her as clearly as if I were reading over her own shoulder.Which, given that I was reading the second book simultaneously, made the room feel very loud in a way that had nothing to do with sound.The previous bonded pair had been named Soren and Mira.That was the first thing I learned that I had not known before. The Council's erasure had been thorough, no pack songs, no elder stories, no grave markers. But whoever had preserved these books had been careful to leave the names intact, as if they understood that removing them entirely would be the cruellest cut of all.Sore

Ava's povBy the time the last of the departing wolves disappeared through the gates, the courtyard felt like a mouth that had lost half its teeth.Forty-three wolves remained.I counted them without meaning to, the bond doing it automatically, cataloguing each pulse of loyalty like a heartbeat I had not asked to learn. Forty-three out of what had been nearly a hundred. Warriors, two healers, a handful of servants who had nowhere else to go, and a small cluster of young wolves who had never known any alpha but Milrac.He stood perfectly still beside me, watching the gates close. From the outside he looked carved from stone. Through the bond I felt what he was actually carrying, the specific weight of each name that had walked away. Not anger. Not surprise. Something quieter and harder to bear.Grief, dressed up as composure.I laced my fingers with his. He did not look at me, but his grip tightened immediately.My mother broke the silence first. "We need to move. The full moon is six
