KILLIAN'S POV

"Briefing is in ten," Claude said. "Everyone's waiting."

"Is she there yet?"

"Yeah. She beat everyone else here." He hesitated. "And… she moved everything around."

I set down my coffee and headed for the briefing room.

The place looked nothing like before. The maps I'd put on the left wall were gone...now they faced east to west instead. Patrol schedules? Nowhere in sight. Instead, there were documents spread out across the table, lined up in some pattern I couldn’t make out, colo

  • The Alpha's Secret Twins: Rise Of The Rejected Luna   Chapter 32: Twenty-four Hours

    CANDICE.He was still there.Leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, watching me the second I pulled the door shut behind me. The hallway felt too narrow all of a sudden. Too quiet. Just the two of us and all this stuff we weren’t saying.I walked over anyway, even though my legs felt like lead.“They’re asleep,” I mumbled.“Good.” His voice was low. He didn’t move.I stopped in front of him and just stood there, not sure what to do with my hands. My heart was beating too hard.“Leo asked me something earlier,” he said. “When you were in the bathroom with them.”My stomach flipped. “What?”Killian rubbed the back of his neck. “He asked if I lived here. I said yeah. He told me that was good.” He let out a breath. “Then he asked if I was gonna stay.”I didn’t say anything. Couldn’t.“I told him yes,” he added. “And he just… nodded. Like that was exactly what he needed to hear.”The silence stretched out so long it started to hurt. I could hear the pack house settling around us,

  • The Alpha's Secret Twins: Rise Of The Rejected Luna   Chapter 31: He Feels Like Us

    CANDICE.The words hit me like ice water down my spine. I moved without thinking, pulling Leo back against my chest and turning his body away from Killian in one smooth motion. My voice came out sharper than I meant it to."Leo." I dropped to one knee, gripping his shoulders. "Don't say things like that."Leo blinked up at me, confusion written all over his small face. "But Mummy—""I said don't." I cupped his face with both hands, making him look only at me. "You know better than to say things like that about strangers. We talked about this. About keeping what we sense to ourselves."Leo's brows drew together in that stubborn way he had when he thought I was wrong. He stared at me, then glanced past my shoulder at Killian, then back again. Something settled in his expression, like he'd already made his mind up."He's not a stranger," Leo said quietly. "He helped you find us. And he smells... right. Like pack.""Leo." My tone left no room for argument.He pressed his lips together tig

  • The Alpha's Secret Twins: Rise Of The Rejected Luna   Chapter 30: He Smells Like Us

    CANDICE. Thirty minutes felt like forever. I sat there in the command center squeezing Leo’s wolf so hard my palm hurt, counting every single heartbeat like it might somehow make time move faster. Claude kept glancing at me from his screen but didn’t say anything, which was good because I probably looked one wrong word away from completely losing my mind. My leg wouldn’t stop bouncing under the desk and every few seconds I caught myself holding my breath without realizing it. The radio crackled again and I jumped. "Alpha," Claude said into it. "Eastern border. Status?" Killian’s voice came back, rough and out of breath. "Holding. Barely. Two more breaches. We pushed them back but they’re testing us hard." I leaned closer to the radio, heart pounding in my throat. "Killian? You okay out there?" A tired laugh came through. "Been better. You still waiting for me?" "Yeah. Still waiting." My voice cracked and I didn’t even try to hide it. "Please tell me you’re coming soon.

  • The Alpha's Secret Twins: Rise Of The Rejected Luna   Chapter 29: Don’t Go Alone

    CANDICE.I made it four steps down the corridor.A hand grabbed my wrist.Not Claude. This grip was different. Firm. Like the person had already decided and wasn’t letting go no matter what.I spun around.Killian.He was still covered in dirt and blood, shirt torn, cut on his collarbone still bleeding. He had left the border the second Darian called him and now he stood here holding my wrist like I might vanish."Where are you going?" he asked. Low. Rough."Killian, you’re supposed to be at the border—""Darian called me," he cut in. "Where the hell are you going, Candice?"I looked at my phone. The location pin. The photo of Leo and Lia holding hands."Let go of my wrist," I said."Candice.""Let go—""Show me the message," he said.I stared at him. He stared back. The hallway felt too quiet."Show me," he said again, softer.My hands shook as I turned the phone toward him.He looked at the photo. Leo and Lia. The line underneath. His jaw tightened."You were gonna go alone," he sai

  • The Alpha's Secret Twins: Rise Of The Rejected Luna   Chapter 28: Falling Apart

    CANDICE. We made it back to the pack in twenty minutes. Claude drove like the road owed him something and I sat in the backseat with Leo’s wolf clutched in both hands, my face still wet, my chest still in pieces. I watched the pack house rise through the trees and felt like throwing up. Behind us the northern trace was already being handed off to two of Killian’s warriors who would chase it while we dealt with this bullshit. Killian had jumped out the second we crossed into pack land. No goodbye. Just one long look through the car window — heavy, full of things we never said — before he shifted and disappeared into the trees. His wolf hit the pack bond so hard I felt it slam into my ribs like a second heartbeat. I pressed my hand against my sternum and tried to breathe. "Session starts in ten minutes," Claude said quietly from the front. He glanced at me in the rearview. "You don’t have to go in there, Candice. Seriously, look at you." "Yes I do," I muttered, wiping my nose

  • The Alpha's Secret Twins: Rise Of The Rejected Luna   Chapter 27: Empty

    CANDICE."How far?" Killian asked."Forty minutes," I said. "Maybe less if Claude drives faster."Claude drove faster.I sat in the backseat squeezing my phone so tight my fingers ached. Leo’s number was already on the screen. I kept calling every three minutes the whole way there. Voicemail. Voicemail. Voicemail. After a while I stopped bothering with messages. What was the point of talking into empty air?Killian stayed facing forward in the passenger seat, jaw locked, murmuring orders into his phone to the warriors behind us. His voice stayed low and steady. I clung to every word like it was the only thing keeping me from screaming.I stared out the window and tried to breathe."The drive data puts them in a residential block," Killian said without turning around. "Human neighborhood. Two story building. That right?""Yeah," I muttered."How many people knew the location?""Three. Maya’s replacement. My secondary contact. And me.""The replacement isn't answering.""No."He paused.
