(Damon's POV)

"Say that number again," I said.

"Eleven hundred, Alpha. Possibly more." The senior scout stood at the head of the war room table, a rolled map clutched in both hands, exhaustion carved into every line of his face. "That's the count from the three ridge camps we've confirmed. There may be others we haven't found."

    (Damon's POV)"Say that number again," I said."Eleven hundred, Alpha. Possibly more." The senior scout stood at the head of the war room table, a rolled map clutched in both hands, exhaustion carved into every line of his face. "That's the count from the three ridge camps we've confirmed. There may be others we haven't found."No one spoke. The Dawn light was just beginning to bleed through the narrow windows, and the war room had already been full for hours, council elders, senior warriors, my mother, Amara beside me with her arms crossed tight against her ribs."Silver Creek has four hundred fighters," Torin said finally, his voice flat. "On a good day. With the northern allies, maybe six.""Then we're outnumbered nearly two to one," Tomas said. "Assuming they're all trained.""They're not all trained," the scout said. "But enough of them are.""Walk me through what you saw," I said. "Everything. Don't summarize."The scout unrolled his map across the table, pinning its corners wit

    (Damon's POV)"Alpha." The scout reached me before I'd fully crossed the clearing, breathless, dirt streaking his face and forearms. "Forgive the interruption. This couldn't wait.""Speak plainly. What did you find?""The northern border, near the old logging road. Something's been carved into the trees. Dozens of them, in a line stretching nearly half a mile." He swallowed hard, glancing at the celebrating crowd behind me. "I think you'll want to see it yourself, Alpha. Privately, if possible."My mother had already appeared at my shoulder, her expression sharpening the moment she registered the scout's face. Amara slipped in beside me a second later, Liam and Maya hovering just behind her, the evening's warmth draining from the air around us."Torin," I said quietly, finding my second-in-command in the crowd with a single look. "Keep the celebration going. Nobody panics. Nobody leaves."He nodded once, melting into the festivities with practiced ease.We moved quickly through the fo

    (Damon's POV)"You've rewritten that opening four times," Amara observed, watching me pace the length of my study with a crumpled page in one hand. "I'm starting to suspect the speech isn't actually the problem.""What's the problem, then?""You're trying to sound like your father."I stopped pacing, the accusation landing with uncomfortable accuracy. "Is it that obvious?""Only to someone who loves you." She crossed the room, gently taking the crumpled page from my hand. "He gave wonderful speeches. But they were his. Whatever you say tonight needs to sound like Damon, not like a careful imitation of Marcus.""What if Damon isn't impressive enough?""Then Damon will have to be honest enough that it doesn't matter."The pack gathered that evening in the same clearing where I'd delivered my father's eulogy, though the mood carried entirely different weight now not grief, exactly, but something more complicated, anticipation tangled with uncertainty about what kind of Alpha their new le

  • What The Alpha Lost   Chapter 92: What Maya Wants

    (Maya's POV)"You're doing the thing again," Amara said, watching me from across the clinic break room, a mug of tea cradled in both hands, her expression carrying that particular, maddening patience she'd developed since becoming Luna. "The thing where you stare at a door like it owes you money.""I'm not staring at anything.""You've been staring at the supply closet for four minutes. Liam's in there.""Liam's allowed to be in the supply closet. He's head physician. It's practically his office.""Mm-hm." She took a slow, deliberate sip of tea. "And you're staring at it because...?"I opened my mouth to deliver a witty, deflecting reply, and found, to my considerable annoyance, that nothing came out."Okay," I said finally, dropping into the chair across from her with theatrical resignation. "Fine. Maybe I've been noticing things lately.""What kind of things?""The way he organizes his charts by color, even though no one asked him to. How he remembers every patient's name, including

    (Damon's POV)"The council needs a recommendation for head physician," my mother said, sliding a folder across my desk, the particular efficiency of her tone suggesting she'd already formed a strong opinion. "Amara's focused on the expansion and her Luna responsibilities. She can't realistically manage the clinic's day-to-day administration alongside everything else.""Who do you recommend?""Liam Chen. His qualifications are unquestionable, his clinical judgment sound, his dedication to this pack genuinely demonstrated through everything he's done these past months." She studied my face carefully. "I recognize the complicated history between you two. But professionally, he's clearly the strongest candidate."I considered the proposal honestly, turning over the complicated emotions it stirred despite my genuine respect for Liam's actual abilities."I agree," I said finally. "I'd want to speak with him directly first, though. This deserves more than a simple administrative appointment.

    (Amara's POV)"You realize this is going to be the largest medical facility in the entire eastern territory," the head nurse said, surveying the architectural plans spread across my office desk, something between awe and exhaustion in her voice. "Four surgical suites. A full training wing. Dedicated pediatric ward.""That's the idea.""And you're planning to personally oversee every phase of construction, while also maintaining a full patient load, while also serving as Luna?" She raised an eyebrow. "I'm genuinely worried about your sleep schedule, Dr. Hayes. Or, I suppose, Luna Hayes now.""Please don't call me that inside the clinic. In here, I'm just a doctor.""Fair enough. But the title matters, outside these walls. You can't entirely separate the two roles, no matter how much you might prefer to."She wasn't wrong, though I wasn't ready to concede the point entirely. Becoming Luna had arrived with a particular set of expectations traditional roles, ceremonial duties, a template
