Lena's POV

Elder Sable waited until everyone had filed out before she touched my arm.

"Walk with me," she said.

I followed her to the far end of the hall, away from the noise and the planning and the sound of Reuben arguing with one of the Council members about perimeter positioning. She stopped near the window and turned to face me with her hands folded in front of her, calm in the way people are calm when they are about to say something that is not calm at all.

"I left something out earlier,"

  • The Alpha’s Sanctuary: His Forbidden Mate   Chapter 92 : The Ones Left Behind

    Darion's POVCassia came to me privately on a Thursday morning with information she had been sitting on for five days and a look on her face that told me she had spent those five days deciding how to deliver it."Drea and Obi are alive," she said.I went very still."My network confirmed it yesterday," she continued. "They are being held in the gateway compound. Not in the deep cells where they put you and Lena. Somewhere above ground, in what used to be the east residential section of the Crib site." She paused. "The three wolves from Reuben's pack are with them.""Five people," I said."Five people," she confirmed. "Alive and apparently unharmed in any significant way, which tells me Kieran has a reason to keep them functional.""Leverage," I said."That would be my reading," she said. "He has not used them yet. Has not made any communication through any channel offering terms. Which means he is holding them for a specific moment rather than a general purpose." She looked at me car

  • The Alpha’s Sanctuary: His Forbidden Mate   Chapter 91 : What Became of Tormund

    Lena's POVIt was Adaeze who found him.She had gone out on a solo reconnaissance run three days after we regrouped, the kind of run that nobody officially sanctioned but nobody stopped either because Adaeze grieving looked like Adaeze working and working was how she processed things. She came back with dirt on her boots and a look on her face that was complicated in a way that made me put down what I was doing and give her my full attention."You need to come see something," she said.I followed her without asking questions. Darion fell in behind us automatically, which was something he did when his instincts told him a situation might need more than one person's judgment.She led us six blocks east of the safe house to a condemned building that had been condemned before the invasion and was now additionally damaged by the kind of structural stress that happened when two ancient sources of power had a disagreement nearby. The ground floor was open to the street in two places where wa

  • The Alpha’s Sanctuary: His Forbidden Mate    Chapter 90 : Regrouping

    Darion's POVWe told them at first light.There was no good way to do it and I did not try to find one. I stood in the main room of the current safe house with the people who needed to hear it and said what had happened plainly and let it land the way it landed.The room went very quiet.Not the tactical quiet of people processing information for operational use. The other kind. The kind that came from something being taken out of the world that had been in it, the specific silence that gathered around an absence before people had figured out how to move around it.One of Reuben's wolves, a woman named Adaeze who had run three operations with Ronan over the past month, walked out of the main room without saying anything. Nobody stopped her. Some things needed to be felt somewhere private first before they could be brought back into a shared space.I understood that. I was running my own version of it internally while standing in front of everyone else being the person they needed at t

  • The Alpha’s Sanctuary: His Forbidden Mate   Chapter 89 : Ronan's Sacrifice

    Lena's POVThe cell door opened from the outside.Not broken open. Unlocked, carefully and quietly, by someone who knew exactly what kind of lock it was and had come prepared for it. The door swung inward and the figure on the other side was backlit by the corridor's low light and for one disoriented second I did not recognize him because my brain was not expecting him specifically.Ronan.He looked terrible. Moving with the careful economy of someone managing an injury he had not had time to address, a cut along his jaw still seeping and something wrong with the way he was holding his left side. Behind him in the corridor I could make out two others, wolves I recognized from the network, both of them armed and watching the approaches in opposite directions.He held up a key ring. Old iron, heavy, the kind that belonged to a building rather than a cell specifically. "Found the guard rotation," he said quietly. "Eleven minute gap. Sounds familiar."Despite everything I almost smiled.H

  • The Alpha’s Sanctuary: His Forbidden Mate   Chapter 88 : The Cell

    Darion's POVLena fell asleep around what I estimated was two in the morning.Not deeply. The kind of sleep that sat just below the surface and could be broken by a sound or a shift in the air but was still sleep, still the body insisting on its minimum requirements regardless of circumstances. Her head had dropped against my shoulder at some point and I had not moved, had adjusted my position slowly enough not to wake her and stayed there with my back against the iron threaded wall and my arm against hers and the bond running its low muffled warmth between us.I did not sleep.Marcus was quiet through the wall. Breathing steady, possibly out, possibly just still in the way Marcus could be still that was different from sleep. I had known him long enough to recognize the difference by sound and I was not certain which one this was.I sat with the dark and the quiet and the reality of the morning and let myself think about things I had been keeping at the edge of my attention for weeks

  • The Alpha’s Sanctuary: His Forbidden Mate   Chapter 87 : Captured

    Lena's POVRiven went first.Not because she was targeted specifically. Because she was already down and when the perimeter closed in she was the one closest to the outer edge and the soldiers who reached her first did not ask questions about status or intent. Marcus got there fast enough to pull her back and put himself between her and the next contact point and what happened after that was the kind of close and terrible chaos that compressed into noise and impact and the bond pulling so tight between me and Darion that I could not tell whose pain was whose.We fought. Of course we fought. All six of us still standing fought with everything left in us and it was not nothing, we were not easy, we made them work for every inch of ground they took. But the math was what it was and the math had always been what it was and eventually the math finished its argument.Obi went down swinging. Drea tried to complete the activation sequence from the ground with her hands still moving toward the
