When My Alpha Remembered Too Late Chapter 31: The Wedding Date
The date itself arrived in writing two days later, and somehow seeing it formalized on paper hurt worse than hearing it secondhand ever had.I'd known since Olivia first brought me the news, the servant's gossip filtering up through the kitchens before either of us had time to brace for it properly. But knowing something and watching it become official were two entirely different kinds of pain, and the formal announcement, posted on the council board outside the great hall for the entire pack to see, made the wound feel suddenly, devastatingly permanent.I stood in front of that board longer than I should have, reading the same few lines over and over as though repetition might somehow change their meaning. The Alpha Alexander Blackwood and Lady Serena request the pleasure of the pack's attendance at their wedding, three months from this date.My own name appeared nowhere in it, as though two years of marriage had simply never happened at all. A small crowd had already gathered to rea
When My Alpha Remembered Too Late Chapter 30: The Painting
Friday morning arrives too fast.Julian's deadline. The day I'm supposed to call Marcus and accept the settlement. Fifty thousand dollars and my silence.Instead, I call Marcus at 9 AM and tell him to reject it."You're sure?" he asks."I'm sure. We fight.""Good. I'll send the response today. But Seraphina, be prepared. He's going to escalate. This is when it gets ugly.""It's already ugly.""It's about to get worse."After we hang up, I sit with the weight of what I just did. I chose the fight. Chose Lucien and Ivy over the easy way out.Chose us.My phone rings. Unknown number. I almost don't answer."Hello?""Mrs. Ashford?" A woman's voice. Professional. Cold. "This is Linda Chen from Child Protective Services. We received a complaint regarding a minor in the care of Lucien Crowe. We need to schedule a home visit to investigate."My blood turns to ice. "What complaint?""I'm not at liberty to discuss the details. But we take all reports seriously. The visit is mandatory. I'll be c
When My Alpha Remembered Too Late Chapter 29: Ryan's Discovery
I found him exactly where the tracks suggested he'd be, half-starved and hiding in a ravine three days outside our territory, and within the hour I had every answer I'd been hunting for and none of the relief I expected to feel getting them. The trail had taken weeks to follow properly. Rogue survivors from the original ambush had scattered fast after the attack, but rogues without a pack rarely vanish completely, not when hunger and desperation eventually force them back toward territories with easier prey. I'd tracked rumors through three different border patrols before finally narrowing down a name, then a location, then finally, exhausted and running on barely any sleep, an actual scent trail leading into contested woodland nobody claimed particularly carefully. He didn't fight much when I found him. Whatever fire had driven him during the ambush itself had long since burned down to something brittle and frightened, a wolf who'd clearly spent the past weeks expecting exactly this
When My Alpha Remembered Too Late Chapter 28: The Decision to Hide the Truth
I made the decision alone, in the quiet of my own room, and only told the people I trusted most after I'd already convinced myself it was the right one.Olivia and Grace found me there that evening, summoned by a note I'd sent through one of the few servants I still trusted completely. They arrived together, Grace's expression already careful and knowing, Olivia's openly curious in a way that told me she still had no idea what I was about to share. I'd rehearsed the words a dozen times in my head walking the length of this room, and none of them had felt adequate to the weight of what I was about to hand her."You're scaring me a little." Olivia settled onto the edge of my bed, studying my face with the same fierce attention she'd given me since we were girls scrubbing pots together. "What's going on, Clara?"I looked to Grace first, a silent question passing between us, and she nodded slightly, giving me permission to finally include the one person I'd been keeping this secret from l
When My Alpha Remembered Too Late Chapter 27: Alex's Guilt He Can't Explain
I should have felt satisfied watching Serena dismantle Clara's credibility in front of the entire pack, and instead I spent the rest of the night feeling like I'd swallowed something rotten.I hadn't expected her to say any of it. I'd known, vaguely, that Serena harbored suspicions about how quickly Clara had become Luna, the kind of comments she'd dropped carefully in private over the past weeks, always couched in concern rather than accusation. I hadn't expected her to take those suspicions and weaponize them in front of the entire gathered pack, dressed up as reluctant honesty while she dismantled another woman's reputation piece by deliberate piece.I watched Clara's face during the accusation, and something in her expression, the controlled, careful stillness of someone absorbing a blow she refused to let anyone see land, settled uneasily in my chest for reasons I couldn't fully articulate.She hadn't denied it loudly. She hadn't begged the pack to believe her. She'd simply stood
When My Alpha Remembered Too Late Chapter 26: Public Humiliation
She waited until the entire hall had gathered before she struck, the way a hunter waits until the prey has nowhere left to run.It was a pack gathering, the kind held every few weeks to settle minor disputes and announce upcoming territory business, and I'd attended out of stubborn principle more than any real desire to be there. Sitting through these gatherings had become its own quiet act of defiance, a refusal to disappear simply because Serena clearly wished I would.She rose near the end of the proceedings, ostensibly to address a minor question about upcoming trade logistics, though something in the deliberate way she positioned herself, angled just so toward the gathered crowd, told me immediately this wasn't really about trade at all."Before we close," she said, her voice carrying easily across the hushed hall, "I think it's worth addressing something the pack deserves clarity on. There's been... confusion, lately, about loyalties. About who actually has this pack's best inte
