Darion's POV

Cassia 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 Cri

  • The Alpha’s Sanctuary: His Forbidden Mate   Chapter 95 : Her Choice

    Lena's POVI gave him one day.Not because I had decided to shortchange him on the two I had promised. Because on the evening of the first day Ronan's replacement in the intelligence network, a quiet woman named Bea who had been running courier routes since week two, came back from her sweep with numbers that changed the calculation in a way that made two days feel like a luxury we were going to cost other people.Three more communities fell in the northern district. The Fae advance was accelerating again, the friction our resistance operations had introduced wearing thinner as the Fae forces adapted their patterns to account for it. The guerrilla approach had bought weeks and the weeks had mattered and they were running out.I sat with that information in the planning room after everyone else had gone to sleep and I made the decision cleanly and without drama because dramatic decisions were for people who had more time than I did.Then I went back to the room and watched Darion sleep

  • The Alpha’s Sanctuary: His Forbidden Mate   Chapter 94 : The Source

    Lena's POVIt was something Cassia said that started it.Not the conversation in the courtyard. Something earlier, something she had said in passing during the war council that I had filed away without fully processing because there had been seventeen other things demanding processing at the same time. I was lying awake at two in the morning three days after her courtyard explanation when it surfaced.The seal absorbs the Fae essence as the binding agent.I sat up.Darion stirred beside me. "What," he said, not quite awake."Nothing," I said. "Sleep."He resettled and I sat in the dark and turned the thing over carefully the way you turn something fragile, making sure I was seeing it correctly before I said it out loud to anyone because saying it out loud would make it real and real meant acting on it and acting on it meant something I was not ready to name yet.The gateway was open.Kieran had completed the opening ritual using his own ancient power plus what he had taken from Tormun

  • The Alpha’s Sanctuary: His Forbidden Mate   Chapter 93 : Cassia's Knowledge

    Lena's POVCassia asked me to walk with her the morning after the rescue and I said yes before she finished asking because Cassia did not request walks without a reason and I had been waiting for her to be ready to say whatever she had been holding back since the war council.We went two blocks from the safe house to a small courtyard that had belonged to something civic before the invasion and now belonged to nobody, which made it as private as anywhere in the city these days. She sat on a low wall and I sat beside her and she looked at the sky for a moment the way very old people sometimes looked at things, like they were locating themselves in time before they started talking."I was there when the seal was built," she said. "I have told you that. What I have not told you is what I saw in the years before it."I waited."The Fae and the mortal world coexisted for a long time before the sealing," she said. "Not peacefully. Not always. But coexisted. What changed was not the Fae them

"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

    Lena's POVSpent the next two days avoiding him.Not easy in a building this size. Not when the bond pulled me toward him constantly. Like gravity. Like magnets. Like something written into the fabric of the universe that refused to be ignored.But I tried anyway.Stayed in my room when he was in t

    Lena's POVNobody moved for what felt like forever.Julian's words still hanging in the air like a curse of their own. "You've chosen war." Simple words. Deadly words. The kind that changed everything and couldn't be taken back.Then someone coughed. Small sound. Barely anything. But it broke the s

    Darion's POVThe curse always gave warning.Started as a whisper at the edge of my mind. Cold. Slithering. Then spread. Through my chest. Down my arms. Into my bones like ice water in my veins.Felt it starting around midnight. Was in my room reading through another one of Tormund's ancient journal
