The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 138 : A Cold Trail
The investigator's office was small and cluttered, tucked above a dry cleaner's a few blocks from campus, the kind of place that didn't advertise and didn't need to. Killian had used the same man for years, ever since he was old enough to need someone who could dig quietly through the kind of history his family preferred to keep buried.Asher sat beside Killian in the cramped office, his knee bouncing under the desk, watching the older man — a wiry, gray-haired investigator named Frank Doyle — spread a handful of papers across the desk like he was laying out cards in a game only he understood."So," Frank said, without much preamble, "the signature page. The one that's supposedly still missing from the original contract.""You found something," Killian said. It wasn't a question."I found a name," Frank said. "Whether it leads anywhere is a different story, but it's the first real thread we've had in weeks." He tapped one of the papers. "Back when the original document was drawn up, y
The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 137 : Baby Names
The apartment smelled like garlic bread and something sweet baking in the oven, and for one whole evening, nobody mentioned Julian's name even once.Asher sat cross-legged on the couch with a notebook balanced on his knee, a pen tucked behind his ear, watching the small chaos unfolding in front of him with something close to real happiness. Ethan was sprawled on the floor with Marcus, both of them arguing loudly over a bowl of chips. Killian sat beside Asher, unusually relaxed, one arm resting along the back of the couch, close enough that Asher could feel the warmth of him even without touching."Okay," Ethan announced, holding up a chip like a gavel. "New rule. No names that sound like a law firm. Asher already vetoed three of mine for that exact reason.""Because they did sound like a law firm," Asher said. "Harrison Whitmore the Third is not a baby name, Ethan, it's a will.""It's distinguished," Ethan argued."It's insane," Marcus said. "I vote for something normal. Like Leo.""L
The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 136 : Elena Confirms It
Elena opened the door before they even knocked, her robe pulled tight around her, her face already pale with worry from Asher's phone call twenty minutes earlier. She looked between her son and Killian standing on her doorstep at nearly midnight, and whatever she saw in their faces seemed to confirm something she'd already been afraid of for a long time."Come in," she said quietly, stepping aside to let them both through. "Sit. I'll make tea, and then I'll tell you everything I know, all of it, no matter how long it takes.""Mom, we don't need tea," Asher said gently, though his voice was tight with nerves he couldn't quite hide. "We need the truth. Now, tonight, before this goes any further than it already has."Elena's hands trembled slightly as she lowered herself onto the couch across from them, her eyes flicking between her son's face and Killian's, both of them waiting, both of them visibly braced for whatever was coming."Julian's father," she said finally, the name seeming to
The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 135 : The Professor's Father
Killian didn't wait for morning.He drove straight to the estate the second Ethan's call ended, Asher's voice still ringing in his ears from the three-way call they had all just been on together, James's warning repeating over and over in his head like something he couldn't outrun no matter how fast he drove. This is about the professor's father.Dominic was still awake when Killian arrived, sitting alone in the study with a book he clearly hadn't been reading, his reading glasses pushed up into his white hair, a single lamp casting a warm, tired glow across the otherwise dark room. He looked up as Killian came in, something already shifting in his expression at the look on his grandson's face."You look like you're carrying something heavy," Dominic said, setting the book aside slowly as Killian shut the door behind him with more force than he probably meant to."I need you to hear something," Killian said, not bothering to sit down. "And I need you to tell me the truth the second yo
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
