Third Person, Bloodstone Ridge

The rider returned from the Wolf Council's outer chambers four days after Darius's petition was delivered, faster than he had expected, faster than protocol generally allowed.

Darius took that as a good sign.

He read the Council's response standing at the same window he'd stood at when he composed the original letter, and the careful, formal language told him exactly what he needed to know beneath its diplomatic surface. The Council had received his concerns. The

    AlecI told myself I would feel it as loss.That had been my quiet assumption for weeks now, ever since the hall, ever since she'd stood between the two of us and refused to choose. I had braced for jealousy the way I braced for anything difficult, methodically, privately, certain that when Seb finally had his moment with her, something in me would have to grieve the version of this where she was only mine.I woke the morning after and found I wasn't grieving anything at all.I found them together in the kitchen before the rest of the pack house had stirred, Seb leaning against the counter with the particular ease he wore like a second skin, Myla beside him laughing at something quiet he'd said, her hand resting on his forearm without either of them seeming to notice it was there. They didn't perform it for me. They didn't stop or shift or grow careful when I entered the room.They simply continued being exactly what they were.I poured myself coffee and sat at the table, and somethin

    SebastianHe found her on the eastern terrace two nights later, exactly where he'd first felt her scent shift everything he thought he understood about himself, and something about the symmetry of that wasn't lost on him.She was watching the tree line the way she often did now, some part of her wolf always tuned toward the border since the scout, since the letters, since the fortnight the Council had given them that was already shrinking by the day."You're not sleeping either," he said, coming to stand beside her."There's a lot not to sleep about lately."He was quiet a moment, close enough to feel the particular warmth that always radiated off her, close enough that his wolf had gone still and attentive the way it always did in her presence now, patient in a way it hadn't been for weeks."Alec told you about the observer," he said."He did." She glanced at him sideways. "You didn't come to find me tonight to talk about the Council."It wasn't a question. He huffed something close

  • Twin Alphas' Rare Luna    Chapter Forty Four: What the Rider Brought

    AlecThe rider was young, Alec noted immediately, younger than the Council usually sent for anything they considered serious, which told him something before the man had said a single word.They received him in the main hall rather than the study, formal enough to signal Crimson River took the visit seriously, informal enough not to suggest they were afraid of it. Seb stood at Alec's right, arms loosely crossed, the picture of easy confidence that Alec had watched him deploy at pack gatherings a hundred times, the kind of presence that put people at ease before they'd even finished speaking."Alpha," the rider said, inclining his head to Alec, then, after only the faintest hesitation, to Seb as well. "The Council has received a formal petition concerning your pack. I've been sent to inform you directly, and to advise that an observer will arrive within the fortnight.""A petition from whom," Alec said, though he already knew."Alpha Darius of Bloodstone Ridge."Seb's jaw tightened alm

The Council had received his concerns. The Council would be sending an observer to Crimson River within the fortnight to assess the situation directly. The Council thanked him for his vigilance in a matter of such historical sensitivity.He allowed himself something close to satisfaction.It was not victory yet. But it was movement, and movement was what he needed, the first crack in Crimson River's careful containment of whatever they believed they had quietly built behind their gates.He set the letter down and reached for the older vo

    SebastianHe found Alec in the study that evening, the same room that had somehow become the place where everything real between the three of them eventually got said out loud.Alec looked up. Something in his face was carefully neutral in the particular way Seb recognized as bracing for a difficult conversation."She told you," Alec said. Not a question."She told me.""And?"Seb sat down across from him, taking his time before answering, letting his brother sit a moment longer in the uncertainty he clearly deserved to sit in, if only briefly."And I made her feel guilty for about four minutes before I got over myself," Seb said. "So if you're waiting for me to say I'm fine with all of it, unbothered, generous older brother giving his blessing. I'm not going to lie to you and pretend that's what happened."Something flickered across Alec's face. Not quite surprise. More like the particular stillness of a man recalculating something he'd assumed was settled."She didn't tell me that p

    MylaShe found Seb in the training yard before he'd finished his morning circuit, the sun barely up, his breath still visible in the cool air, his shirt damp through at the collar from exertion.He stopped when he saw her face."What happened?" he asked, immediately alert, already scanning past her toward the pack house as though checking for some visible threat."Nothing's wrong," she said quickly. "Nothing like that."He relaxed fractionally, though something wary remained in his expression, the particular caution of a man who had learned that her seeking him out unexpectedly usually meant something significant."Then what is it?"She had rehearsed this on the walk over, three different ways of saying it, and every version had sounded wrong the moment she tried it in her head. In the end she decided the truth, plain and unadorned, was the only version that would actually serve either of them."Alec kissed me last night," she said. "I wanted you to hear it from me before you heard it
