The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 134 : James Talks
The coffee shop James picked was small and half-empty, tucked two blocks away from campus, the kind of place nobody from their world would think to look. Ethan got there first and took the corner table, his leg bouncing under it the whole time he waited. He kept checking the door every few seconds, like some part of him still expected James to change his mind and never show up at all.When James finally walked in, he looked tired in a way Ethan had never seen on him before. Older. Thinner around the eyes. He was wearing the same jacket he always wore, but somehow it hung differently on him now, like the man inside it had shrunk a little overnight."Hey," James said, sliding into the seat across from him. "Thanks for coming.""You scared me last night," Ethan said quietly. "You know that, right? You called me sounding like the world was ending and then wouldn't say why.""I know. I'm sorry." James wrapped both hands around his coffee cup like it was the only warm thing left in the room
The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 133 : What We Do With It
The drive back from the estate was quiet in a way that felt earned rather than heavy. Killian kept one hand on the wheel and the other laced through Asher's, resting on the console between them, like he needed the contact to believe the last hour had actually happened.Asher watched the city lights blur past the window, his free hand still resting low on his stomach out of habit now, an anchor whenever his thoughts threatened to spin too far in one direction. "I keep waiting to feel angrier," he admitted quietly. "At your grandfather. The whole idea of it.""And?""I don't. Mostly I just feel tired. And a little bit like I finally understand my mother." Asher exhaled slowly. "She wasn't protecting me from a monster. She was protecting me from a piece of paper."Killian's jaw tightened at a red light, his thumb moving in a slow, steady line across Asher's knuckles. "A piece of paper that almost cost you everything anyway," he said. "I don't care how symbolic Margaret thought it was. My
The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 132 : The Full Truth
Asher arrived at the estate just after nine, Killian meeting him at the door himself, his hand finding Asher's without either of them saying a word first. The house felt different tonight, quieter than usual, as though even the walls understood something heavy was about to be spoken inside them."He's waiting in the study," Killian said quietly. "He looks like he's aged ten years since this afternoon."They walked together down the long hallway, the ledger still sitting closed on Dominic's desk when they entered, exactly where Killian had left it hours earlier.Dominic looked up slowly as they came in, gesturing toward the two chairs already positioned across from him, close together."Sit," he said, his voice quieter than Asher had ever heard it.They sat, Killian's hand still wrapped around Asher's, and Dominic studied both of them for a long moment before finally opening the ledger with careful, trembling fingers."Your grandmother," Dominic said, looking directly at Asher now, "wa
The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 131 : The Locked Room
Dominic was already standing when Killian pushed open the study door, his cane gripped tight in one hand, his pale eyes fixed on the ledger tucked under Killian's arm before either of them said a single word. The late afternoon light slanted low through the tall windows behind him, catching the silver of his hair, making him look older and more fragile than Killian had ever quite let himself notice before today."You found it," Dominic said quietly. It wasn't a question."I found *something*," Killian said, crossing the room and setting the ledger down on the desk between them. "A locked room. A security code the household staff doesn't even have. And this, hidden behind boxes like someone wanted it forgotten entirely." He held Dominic's gaze steadily. "It has the Valentine name written on the first page, Grandfather. I want to know why."Dominic lowered himself slowly into his chair, his eyes never leaving the worn leather cover. For a long moment, he said nothing at all, and Killian
The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 130 : Digging
Killian couldn't stop thinking about what Julian had said in that office, the calm certainty in his voice when he'd claimed to know more about the debt than Killian did.I've spent years studying exactly what that document means, Julian had said, and the words had followed Killian for days now, refusing to fade no matter how much else demanded his attention. He'd tried burying himself in work instead, signing contracts, sitting through meetings, but every quiet moment kept circling back to the same question, gnawing at him more persistently each day.What do I actually know, he thought, staring at his own reflection in the study window one evening, beyond an old man's vague fear and a stranger's calm confidence that he understands my own family's history better than I do?He decided, finally, that he was done waiting for Dominic to volunteer answers he clearly had no intention of giving freely."I want access to the estate's old records," Killian told the head of household staff one m
The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 129 : Almost
Three days passed before Asher worked up the nerve to bring it up again.He'd spent most of that time distracted by other things — a study group he could barely focus through, a check-in call with Killian about the security detail, a long conversation with Ethan about James that had left him with more questions than answers. But his mother's unfinished sentence kept surfacing anyway, quiet and insistent, no matter how much else crowded his mind.He visited Elena on a quiet Sunday afternoon, bringing groceries she hadn't asked for, the kind of small, ordinary gesture that gave him an excuse to linger in her kitchen a little longer than usual."You didn't have to do this," Elena said, though she was already unpacking the bag with obvious pleasure, humming softly to herself."I wanted to," Asher said, leaning against the counter, watching her carefully. "Mom, can we talk? About what you started to tell me the other day."Elena's humming stopped. She set down the can of soup in her hand s
