Chapter 43- The Find

Author: SC Vale
last update publish date: 2026-02-27 08:04:09

The reports had been coming in for two weeks.

Eastern Marshes — a border patrol hit, three wolves taken. Western Vale — a family compound struck overnight, the alpha's daughter missing. Ashford — two separate incidents in ten days. The targets were different. The bloodlines, the territories, the pack sizes. None of it matched except one thing — every alpha who reported in said the same thing. The rogues hadn't come for their wolves. They had come looking for something else and taken what they f

  • The Lost Heir   Chapter 61 — The Vial

    He came in the morning, which was unusual.Celeste was at the vanity when the door opened, coffee in hand, halfway through her makeup, the room still carrying the quiet of early morning. Kendra was making the bed behind her. Then Vargr was in the doorway with a small case in his hand, his expression pleasant, unhurried, entirely at home."Good morning," he said.Celeste met his eyes in the mirror and smiled. "This is a surprise."He crossed the room and pressed his lips to her temple. "I had a few minutes." He glanced at the coffee cup. "You haven't eaten.""I was going to after.""You should eat first." He crossed to the small table by the window where the breakfast tray sat untouched and picked up a piece of bread and held it out to her. She took it because it was easier than not taking it. Three months of this had built its own momentum. The groove held even when the meaning didn't.She ate. He watched her with the warm satisfied attention of a man whose chosen woman was doing what

  • The Lost Heir   Chapter 60— The Office

    The guard came at midmorning.Kendra was making the bed when he knocked — one of his personal guards. He didn't speak. He held the door open and waited.She set the pillow down and followed him.Vargr's office was on the upper level, east side, the window behind his desk facing the mountain rather than the valley. She had been in it twice before. Both times had felt like this — the corridor, the silence that gathered around his door, the understanding that whatever happened inside this room happened outside the compound's normal logic.He was at his desk when she entered. Reading something, a pen in his hand, unhurried. The guard pulled the door closed behind her.Vargr looked up."Kendra." The voice he used with everyone he considered his. "Sit down."She sat.He set the pen down and gave her his full attention. That was the thing about him that three years hadn't made easier — the quality of his focus. When he looked at you he looked completely, and the attention felt total until yo

  • The Lost Heir   Chapter 59- with any Luck

    Kendra came back on the third day with the breakfast tray and something else.She set the tray down, moved through the room with her usual efficiency, curtains and bed and the small precise choreography of a girl who had learned to be invisible. Then she crossed to the window where Celeste was sitting and set a small glass vial on the sill between them.Celeste looked at it. At the pale liquid inside, faintly amber, catching the morning light."The same drug they've been putting in your tea," Kendra said. She kept her eyes on the valley. "Kitchen stores it in a locked cabinet. The key lives on a hook behind the dry goods. I've known about it for two years.""Why didn't you—""I was afraid." Kendra's voice was even. "I didn't know if I could trust what would happen if I did."Celeste picked up the vial. She thought about months of this moving through her bloodstream, smoothing her edges, making her certain and compliant and deaf to what her body was trying to tell her. She set it back

    He didn't move when it was over.The crowd dispersed around him slowly. Alec stood at the edge of the clearing and watched Maya hold Ivy in the frost.He had seen Ivy's power before. The surge in the cabin, the air going strange, small things rattling. He had told himself they had time. That she was young. That she still had some time to be a child.Twenty wolves had just watched his seven year old daughter shift and plant herself over her mother's body with the certainty of something that had been doing it for a hundred years.They didn't have time.He crossed the clearing. Maya looked up when he was close — her cheek already darkening, blood dried at the corner of her lip. She met his eyes with the steadiness of someone holding herself together by a thread. Ivy was still against her chest, her breathing slow and deep, cried out and spent.Alec crouched in front of them. He put his hand on Ivy's back and felt the residual heat still coming off her, the deep tremor that hadn't fully s

  • The Lost Heir   Chater 57- Sarah

    The assignments went up on the board at dawn. Maya saw her name next to Sarah's and felt her breath catch She didn't ask to be reassigned.The training ground was full by the time they took their positions. Twenty wolves in human form moving through drills, breath visible in the cold air, the dull percussion of bodies meeting and separating. At the far edge of the clearing Nix had Ivy cross-legged in the grass, both of them still, something quiet passing between them. Maya kept her in her peripheral and turned to face Sarah.Sarah was already looking at her.Taller than Maya, broader through the shoulders. She moved into position with a smile that had nothing warm in it.They circled.The first exchanges were clean and Maya matched her — reading her weight shifts, slipping the first two contacts, landing a counter on Sarah's ribs that made her reset. Sarah was good. Maya was better. They both knew it within the first thirty seconds.That was when Sarah started talking."The maid's dau

  • The Lost Heir   Chapter 56— Corvin

    Fallen brought him at noon.He was younger than Alec expected — mid twenties, the build of someone who had been trained for physical work, his hands restless on the table. He had the stillness of someone who had already decided how much he was going to say and was waiting to see if that was enough.His name was Corvin. He had been contracted security for eight months before he went rogue. He didn't say why he went rogue and nobody asked.Alec sat across from him. Maya was at the window. Fallen stood by the door with her arms crossed and her eyes on Corvin's hands."We're not interested in you," Alec said. "We're interested in what you saw."Corvin looked at him. "I already told her everything.""Tell me."A pause. Then Corvin leaned forward slightly, his hands flattening on the table. "The compound runs on a hierarchy. Guards, staff, specialists. The specialists are his — personal, not contracted. You won't get them to talk. The contracted guards are different. Most of them don't know

    The tires screamed against the damp asphalt as Alec threw the SUV into a hard turn, leaving the hospital's glowing emergency sign to vanish into the fog behind them. Maya braced against the passenger door, her hand reaching back instinctively to check on Ivy. Her daughter was curled on the back sea

    The hallway was chaos—nurses running toward the sound of the alarm from Ivy's room, voices sharp with confusion. But Alec moved through it like a current cutting through still water, Ivy cradled against his chest, her small body limp and trusting in his arms.Maya grabbed Ivy's bag and followed, he

    They left Ivy under the watch of three guards—Garrett's most trusted fighters, wolves who would die before they let anything touch her. Maya kissed their daughter's forehead, whispered something Alec couldn't hear, and then turned toward the door without looking back. The walk through the compo

    The tea was still warm when they brought it to her. Celeste sat with her hands folded in her lap and looked at the cup and thought about Alec's face in the doorway of her house. The way he had stayed on the threshold. The way he hadn't crossed it. She had given everything to Stonehaven. To Alec. Ha
