The Billionaire Lycan's Second Chance Luna Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Six
GerbranoThe silver doors would not yield to my shoulder, my fists, or the full weight of my wolf. After the fifth attempt I stood with my forehead pressed against the cold metal and listened to the blood pounding in my ears. Every bolt on the other side had slid home with the finality of a coffin lid, and the carved crescent at the center of the panels gleamed back at me with a serene indifference that I could have wept over."You may continue to strike it, Alpha Moretti, though I assure you that those doors have survived worse tempers than yours," Osric said from the dais. "The archive opens in two ways, and neither of them involves a battering ram.""Then tell me what they are, and tell me before my wife and son lose another hour of their lives," I said."The first is the word of the heir, spoken aloud after he has read the Founding Charter from its first line to its last, because no keeper may command this place until he understands what he guards."

LeoThe staircase spiraled down into the earth for so long that I stopped counting the steps and began counting my own heartbeats instead.I had burst into the shaft with Hale's roar echoing behind me and the sound of my mother's scream still ringing in my ears. A curtain of silver light had rippled across the opening the moment I passed through it, and I felt it brush my back like a cool, soft hand, and then the noise of the world above me was cut away as cleanly as a thread. In the sudden silence my breathing sounded like a storm, and the soles of my slippers slapped against the worn stone with a wet, desperate rhythm.The walls glowed faintly, a pale shimmer that rose from the granite itself as though the whole stair had been built from frozen moonlight. Carved figures marched along both sides at the height of my shoulder, wolves and women and children with lanterns held in their upraised hands, and every one of them had been polished smooth by the passage of

DexterI have carried the wounded off battlefields, but I had never in my life watched a man dive into a grave and come back carrying two women.I stood on the lip of the granite causeway with Mark's rifle in my good hand and the cold wind beating the smoke against my face. The reinforcements had arrived at last, forty men in black tactical gear who poured across the mud flats in a long, ragged line with their weapons raised. Lucian's survivors had fled before them, and out on the gray estuary a speedboat was dwindling toward the horizon with a tall figure standing rigid at the wheel and a limp shape lying in the stern. I had emptied an entire magazine at it, and I had not hit anything that mattered."Captain Hale carried Adam aboard with his arm in pieces, and the master followed with a face like thunder," Mark reported, jogging to my side with a bloody bandage wrapped around his forearm. "Tracy pulled herself out of the channel on the far bank and ran for the

AlexiaThe water struck me like a wall of ice, and every breath that I had left was driven from my lungs in a single silver rush of bubbles.Tracy's arms were locked around my ribs with a strength that I would never have credited to a woman in a couture coat, and she kicked downward with the fury of an animal dragging its prey to the bottom of a river. The channel closed above us, and the sound of the world dwindled to a dull, booming throb. I clawed at her sleeve, and my nails tore through wet wool, and the black pressure of the deep began to squeeze my skull like a fist.Then the pendant on my breastbone flared.A bubble of pale light bloomed outward from my chest and swelled around us both, pushing the water back in a shimmering sphere no wider than a small room. Air flooded into the space, cold and thin and tasting of salt, and I dragged it into my chest with a gasp that hurt all the way to my spine. Tracy let go of me and floated backward against the

Gerbrano"You are an impatient man for someone who has waited eleven years, Alpha Moretti, and I would hate to rush a story that deserves its pauses," Tracy said.She turned the silver earring slowly between two gloved fingers, and the gray dawn slid along its curve like a drop of mercury. Behind her the two gunmen from the speedboat had climbed onto the slipway with their rifles held across their chests, and the wind off the estuary carried the smell of diesel and rotting weed across the distance between us. Dexter's pistol had risen to the level of her heart, and I could hear his breath rasping through his clenched teeth."Tell me what my mother signed, and tell me quickly, because every second that you waste belongs to my wife," I said."On the eleventh of March thirty years ago, Aurelie Silver gathered five people in the library of her farmhouse to witness a contract," she answered.
