All Chapters of The Alpha’s Forbidden Obsession : Chapter 131 - Chapter 137

We assembled everyone who could move within twenty minutes: Edward, still tight-lipped from our earlier confrontation but present nonetheless, Morrison and four federal agents, eight remaining warriors from the original fifteen. Twelve of us total, driving through the dark toward a farmhouse that might hold my daughter, or might hold nothing at all."You're limping," Edward observed from the passenger seat, glancing at the way I held my injured wrist against my chest."It'll hold," I said."That's not what I asked.""I know what you asked," I said. "I don't have time to answer it properly right now."He was quiet for a moment, watching the dark fields pass outside the window. "Earlier," he said finally, "when you looked at that list. When you saw my name on it.""Edward,""Let me finish." His voice was steady, but I could hear the effort it took to keep it that way. "I understand why you looked at me the way you did. I understand the pattern. Petra, Margaret's stolen medication, me fa

"Are you certain? We don't know if Priya's alive. We don't know where the Primary Site is. Telling her mother what we've found might only confirm her worst fear without gi

We drove back to the pack house in silence, the storage unit's contents secured in evidence bags and Morrison's careful hands, my thoughts circling the words I'd read until they felt burned into memory.

"Not the Steward. Not an intermediary. Direct correspondence about my daughter, about whether she lived or died, filed away in a storage unit like paperwork.""It confirms Elaine Roswell isn't just connected to this," Lucian said from the driver's seat. "She has direct standing with whoever runs the entire operation. That makes her more valuable than anyone we've captured so far.""And more dangerous to approach carelessly," I said. "If we move on her the way we moved on Kessler, and she has any way to alert the fifth conspirator that we're closing in, we could lose
