Chapter 61CELESTE'S POV“Show me everything."She took me to the supply building on the south side of the compound. It was small and neglected‚ with a cracked window and shelves that looked like nobody had organized them in months. Wren dragged open a bag of grain and held it toward me."Look at the color‚" she said.The grain was gray. Not golden brown the way it should have been. And underneath the earthy smell‚ there was something chemical that made my stomach turn."When did this shipment come in?" I asked."Last Tuesday. Same supplier we've been using for three months. Ever since Lydia took over purchasing.""Who is Lydia?"Wren's voice dropped. "She's someone who has a powerful backing. She manages everything for the omega kitchens. Budget‚ supplies‚ vendors‚ all of it. She's been in the position for about four months.""And before her?""Before her‚ the grain was normal. People weren't getting sick. Everything changed when Lydia switched suppliers.""Who does Lydia answer to?"

Chapter 62Miranda POVI set down my phone and stared at the wall. My contact inside the pack had just finished telling me everything. Every miserable detail. The omega investigation. The council meeting. The supply chain restructuring. Lydia's removal. Brenda's removal.All of it.I picked up my tea and took a slow sip. Earl Grey‚ imported‚ served in the bone china cup that Celeste's father had bought me for our tenth anniversary. The tea was still warm. My hand was perfectly steady.Good. Steady hands meant a steady mind‚ and I needed my mind very steady right now.Lydia was gone. Brenda was gone. Two of my most reliable people inside the Blackwood pack‚ removed in a single afternoon because some nobody named Sienna Vale had decided to play hero for a bunch of kitchen omegas.Kitchen omegas. The lowest‚ most invisible members of any pack. The kind of people that a real Luna wouldn't waste five minutes on. And this contract wife had not only noticed them‚ she had investigated their c

Chapter 63Miranda's POV"I want you to watch her. Everything she does‚ everywhere she goes‚ everyone she talks to. I want to know her habits‚ her patterns‚ her weaknesses. I want to know what she eats for breakfast and who she smiles at and what she does when she thinks nobody is looking.""Okay… But what if we don't find anything?”"You would. Everyone is hiding something. A woman who appears out of nowhere with no background and no connections and somehow knows exactly how to run a pack from the inside must have a secret. And you know what secrets are? They are the only weapon that never runs out of ammunition.""Miranda‚ I have to ask. Is this about Elena? Or is this about you?"I set down my tea very carefully."Everything I do is about Elena‚" I said. "My daughter is the rightful Luna of Darius pack. She was born for that position. She was raised for it. And some contract nobody with a fake smile and a suspicious amount of knowledge about filing cabinets is not going to take it

Chapter 64Darius POVIt had been a week since Sienna exposed Lydia's operation‚ and the paperwork hadn't stopped piling up.The pack was different now. New supply contracts. Budget reallocations. Vendor approvals. Audit reports that needed my signature before the restructured omega kitchens could officially begin operating under the new system. Rylan had organized everything into neat stacks on my desk‚ but there were six of them‚ and by Tuesday evening I was on stack number four with a cold cup of coffee and a headache that wouldn't quit.I reached for the next file in the stack. It was thicker than the others‚ a security folder that Rylan had been compiling all week. Routine background checks on everyone who had entered pack territory in the last month. I had requested them after the council raised concerns about vetting procedures‚ and Rylan‚ being Rylan‚ had been thorough to the point of obsession.I was flipping through the vehicle entry logs when a loose page slipped from betwe

Chapter 65Darius POVShe met my eyes without hesitation. "I have friends in many places. Is that a problem?""Theo Stone is not just a friend." My voice dropped lower than I intended. "He's the man who stole my wife's body.""From what I've heard‚" she said‚ and her voice was perfectly level‚ perfectly controlled‚ "your wife was already dead when he took her. You can't steal what you've already thrown away.""What does he do when he visits you?" My voice was barely steady. "What does an outside Alpha do in my Luna's quarters in the middle of the night that requires seven secret trips and a memorized guard rotation?""That's none of your business.""You live in my house. You carry my title. You sleep under my roof. Everything that happens inside these walls is my business.""I carry your title because you needed someone to fill a chair. Don't pretend that gives you rights over my personal life.""Is he the one who sent you here?""Nobody sent me anywhere. I made my own choices.""Then

Chapter 66Darius POVMy eyes went dark. I felt the shift happen‚ felt my pupils blow wide‚ felt my vision narrow until the only thing that existed in the entire world was her face and her mouth and her beautiful lashes.My fingers trailed across her cheekbone. Down the side of her face. Slowly. Deliberately. She shivered under the contact and her lips parted but no sound came out."Darius." She tried again‚ her voice barely holding together. "I said don't—"I slammed my mouth against hers.The kiss was not gentle. It wasn't the kind that waits for permission or gives the other person time to decide. My hand was still buried in the hair at her nape so I used it to tilt her head back‚ forcing her mouth open wider against mine. A growl tore from somewhere deep in my chest‚ vibrating through my ribs‚ through her ribs‚ through the wall behind her. We were still in the hallway‚ right outside Aurora's door‚ and I didn't care. I couldn't care. My wolf had taken over so completely that the o

Chapter 67Darius POVThe slap cracked through the corridor‚ my head snapping to the right from the force of it as pain bloomed across my cheek. I turned back to look at her.She was shaking from head to toe. Her lips were swollen from my mouth‚ red and wet‚ her chest heaving with ragged breaths that pushed her breasts against the thin cotton with every inhale. Her eyes were burning with a fury so intense I could almost feel the heat of it on my skin."Don't you ever‚" she said‚ and her voice was wrecked but every word landed like a fist‚ "put your hands on me without my permission again."She turned and walked down the hallway. Her bare feet were silent on the floor but the absence of sound was louder than any slammed door. She didn't look back. Not once. She disappeared around the corner toward her room and was gone.I stood alone in the hallway outside my daughter's bedroom with my hand pressed to my cheek‚ the taste of her still hot on my tongue‚ the ghost of her body still burni

Chapter 68 Darius POV I stroked myself slowly at first‚ my fist tight around my thick‚ aching cock‚ feeling every ridge and vein throb against my palm. The friction sent heat rolling through my abdomen and I leaned my forehead against the tile and closed my eyes and saw her face behind my eyelids. Lips swollen from my kiss‚ eyes half closed‚ breath coming in those ragged little gasps that she couldn't control. "Fuck‚" I breathed‚ tightening my grip‚ stroking harder‚ my thumb smearing the pre-cum that was already beading at my tip in a slick‚ wet circle around the swollen head. My hips jerked forward‚ thrusting into my own fist‚ fucking my hand like it was her body‚ because my hand wasn't what I wanted. I wanted her. I wanted to be buried so deep inside her tight‚ wet cunt that she couldn't lie to me anymore‚ couldn't hide‚ couldn't push me away. I thought about pressing her against the hallway wall again‚ but this time not stopping when she gasped. Shoving that cotton shirt up

Chapter 69Darius POVI yanked my door open and sprinted down the hallway barefoot. The floor was cold under my feet but I barely felt it because every part of me was locked on the sound of my daughter screaming at the end of the corridor.Sienna's door flew open at the same time.She came out in a thin sleep shirt that hung mid-thigh‚ her hair loose and messy‚ her eyes wide with panic.I got to the door first and shoved it open.Aurora was thrashing in her bed‚ tangled in her sheets‚ her small body twisting and jerking while sobs ripped from her chest so hard her whole frame shook with each one. Her eyes were squeezed shut. She was still asleep‚ trapped inside whatever nightmare had its claws in her."Don't take Mama!" she screamed‚ her voice cracking‚ her tiny fists swinging at something only she could see. "Don't take her blood! Stop hurting her! Please stop hurting her!"My chest caved in.I stood in the doorway with my hand still on the doorframe and my legs stopped working. I co

Chapter 70Darius POVAurora's small hands fisted the front of Sienna's sleep shirt‚ gripping so tight that her knuckles went white‚ and she buried her face in Sienna's chest and cried. Sienna held her through it. She didn't rush her. She didn't tell her to stop crying or go back to sleep or that everything was fine. She just held her‚ rocking gently‚ one hand in Aurora's hair‚ the other still rubbing those slow circles on her back‚ and she started humming something soft and low that I couldn't quite place but that made my wolf go completely still inside my chest.Minutes passed. Aurora's sobs faded to hiccups. The hiccups faded to sniffles. The sniffles faded to long‚ shaky breaths that gradually grew steadier as sleep started pulling her back under.Then Aurora lifted her head from Sienna's chest‚ her face blotchy and tear-streaked‚ her eyes barely open‚ and she looked up at Sienna with an expression that made my throat close completely."Mama‚" she whispered.“Yes‚ baby?”"Promise
