The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 109 : What He's Already Decided
Julian let himself in with the spare key Asher had given him weeks ago, back when a key had felt like a small, harmless kindness and not a thing Asher now wished he could take back."I brought the brochures," Julian said. He set a slim folder on the kitchen counter as if it were nothing, as if they'd already agreed. "Three properties, all outside the city. Quiet streets. Good schools eventually, though obviously that's years away."Asher stared at the folder and didn't touch it. "Julian, we talked about this. I'm not moving anywhere.""You said you'd think about it." Julian pulled out a stool and sat down like he planned to stay a while. "That's different from no.""It was as close to no as I could get without you getting upset," Asher said, and he regretted how honest it sounded the moment it was out.A look crossed Julian's face and was gone, smoothed over so fast Asher almost doubted he'd seen it. "I'm not upset. I'm being practical. You're twenty-two weeks along now. You'll want t
The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 108 : I Won't Wait Forever
Marcus found Killian in the estate's private gym late that night, well past midnight, still hitting the punching bag with a raw, worn-out force that had nothing to do with training. The lights were dimmed and most of the house was asleep. The only sound was the steady, brutal thud of a fist on leather, over and over, as if Killian were trying to beat the pain loose from inside his own chest."You're going to break your hand," Marcus said from the doorway.Killian didn't stop. "It wouldn't be the worst thing that's happened to me this week."Marcus crossed the room and caught the bag with both hands, holding it steady until Killian had to stop. Sweat ran down his face. His knuckles were raw and red under the tape."Talk to me."Killian stepped back, breathing hard, and dropped onto the bench. He pressed both hands over his face for a long moment before he spoke. "I saw him tonight. Asher. My grandfather invited him.""I heard." Marcus sat down beside him."He's different, Marcus." Kill
The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 107 : A Name From Long Ago
Dominic looked at Asher's face for a long time without speaking. His pale eyes moved slowly over each feature, as if he were reading a line written there in a language only he knew."You're wondering why I asked you here alone," he said at last."A little." Asher tried to keep his voice steady."I'm an old man." A faint, tired smile touched his mouth. "Old men are allowed odd habits. Mine is staring too long at young faces that remind me of a thing I can't place."Asher's pulse picked up. "You said that at the gala too. That I reminded you of someone.""Did I?" Dominic's eyes sharpened a little, though his tone stayed light, almost playful. "I don't remember everything I say these days. Age loosens a man's grip on his own words."Asher didn't believe that for a second. Dominic's mind was sharper than most people's half his age, and every question he asked had been chosen with care."Tell me about your family," Dominic said. "Your mother, of course. But before her. Your grandmother, pe
The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 106 : What Killian Noticed
The invitation came three days after the night at Julian's apartment. This time it wasn't a formal card. It was a short, careful phone call from Marcus."My grandfather wants to see you," Marcus said, already sounding apologetic. "A small dinner. Just family and a few close people. He's been asking about you since the gala.""Why me?" Asher was on his couch with Ethan beside him, both of them listening on speaker."Honestly?" Marcus hesitated. "I think he's worried about Killian. He's noticed how badly he's been doing, and he seems to have the idea that you're connected to it, even though he doesn't know why."Asher's stomach twisted. "I don't know if that's a good idea, Marcus. Especially right now.""I get it if you say no. I just wanted to ask you myself, instead of letting it come through Dominic's usual channels. He isn't trying to trap you. He really seems fond of you."Ethan caught Asher's eye. A look passed between them that neither could read."Let me think about it," Asher s
The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 105 : The Door
Julian's building looked the way it always had, with warm light spilling out of the lobby windows and a doorman who nodded politely as Asher walked in, his heart pounding against his ribs.He rode the elevator up alone, his phone clenched in one hand, Ethan's last message still glowing on the screen. Thinking about you. Text me the moment you're out.I will, Asher thought. The words felt thin against the fear in his chest. If I can.The elevator chimed. He stepped into the quiet hallway, walked to Julian's door, and knocked before he could talk himself out of it.Julian opened it almost at once, as if he'd been standing right there. "You came." Relief and warmth crossed his face. "Thank you.""You made it sound like I had no choice," Asher said, stepping in warily."You always have a choice." Julian shut the door behind him. "I only hoped you'd choose to hear me out."The apartment was spotless, as always. The lights were low, and a fire was already crackling in the small fireplace, e
The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 104 : A Voice From Home, Slightly Wrong
The restaurant was quiet in the dead hours between lunch and dinner. There were only a few hours left before Asher had to walk into Julian's apartment alone. Ethan had left him an hour ago, not wanting to, with a promise still ringing in both their ears. Text me the second you're done. I mean it. Waiting was already unbearable.He's going tonight, Ethan thought, staring at an invoice he'd read three times without taking in a single number. Alone. Because saying no might make Julian more dangerous than saying yes.They had argued against it for nearly an hour before they landed on the only compromise either of them could stand. Ethan would wait nearby with his phone on, ready to drive over the second Asher sent one word. It wasn't enough. It didn't feel like enough. But it was all they had left to hold onto.His phone buzzed on the counter and his heart jumped. For a second he hoped it was Asher, hours early, saying the plan had changed.James lit up the screen instead.Ethan blinked.
