Chapter 101 – Rae-Bug

RaeElena brought a box.She carried it against her chest when she entered the small council sitting room the next morning, an old cardboard box with softened corners and a faded blue ribbon holding the lid in place. There were no financial records this time, no laptop and no pages covered in names connected to Frank’s network.Just the box.Linc had walked me to the room. We’d already discussed whether I wanted anyone inside, and I’d decided I didn’t. Elena had been searched, guards remained directly outside, and all four of my mates were close enough that the completed network made distance almost meaningless.Before leaving, Linc touched the back of my neck.“I’m right there.”“I know.”His thumb brushed my mark once before he stepped through the door.Elena watched him leave, then set the box between us.“You wanted to talk about Kim.”“I want answers that don’t turn into Frank, Vicker or Ravenwood unless they’re actually part of the answer.”“All right.”I sat across from her.“W

Chapter 102 – The First Sacred Pack

RaeMansfield’s message reached Julien before we’d been back at Ravenwood for twenty minutes.Archive room. All five of you. Now.Brax read it over Julien’s shoulder and frowned. “Why does that sound threatening?”“Because Mansfield always sounds threatening,” Grant said, but Brax shook his head and pointed out that she’d used two periods, which apparently made the message significantly more ominous. Julien stared at him long enough that I started laughing despite everything waiting outside Ravenwood.Mansfield had been digging through the oldest Sacred Pack records since discovering the fragment none of us understood. If she’d found something important enough to summon all five of us immediately, Frank and his gathering wolves could wait a few minutes.The archive room looked as though Mansfield had personally declared war on several centuries of disorganized scholarship. Books covered most of the table beneath protective sheets, handwritten translations had spread onto the surroundi

Chapter 103 – Chosen By All

RaeWe didn’t make the decision in Mansfield’s archive room.That mattered to me more than I could explain.We took the diagram home, left it on the kitchen counter and attempted to have a normal evening while knowing that five unfinished relationships stood between our completed Sacred Pack and something nobody had experienced in centuries.Grant made dinner. Brax insulted it until Grant threatened to stop feeding him. Julien spent so long staring at Mansfield’s diagram that Linc eventually walked over, turned it facedown and told him the lines weren’t going to rearrange themselves because he glared at them.For a while, we succeeded in pretending.Then all five of us ended up in the common room, touching in the casual ways that had become normal before we’d understood how abnormal any of this was, and Grant finally looked around.“Are we seriously going to pretend nobody’s thinking about it?”Brax lifted one hand from where it rested on Linc’s thigh. “I was trying to be respectful.”

Chapter 104 – No More Hiding

RaeBy morning, three windows in the command dorm had cracked during Ascension, something had shattered in the kitchen, and Brax was standing over the remains of a stolen dining-hall glass as though we’d lost a beloved family member.“It was a good glass.”Julien barely looked up from the council documents he’d been reading. “You stole it three weeks ago.”“That doesn’t mean I didn’t love it.”“You drank water out of it twice.”“We bonded quickly.”Grant shoved a broom toward him. “Mourn while you sweep.”Brax looked from the broom to Grant. “I’m Ascended.”“You’re also standing barefoot next to broken glass.”“I don’t think the first Sacred Pack did chores.”Linc took the broom before Brax could turn sweeping into a debate about ancient labor practices. “The first Sacred Pack probably didn’t steal glasses from the dining hall.”“You don’t know that. Mansfield specifically said the records were incomplete.”I was still laughing when someone knocked.Every one of us turned toward the d

Chapter 105 – The True Luna Walks In

RaeThe council had chosen a building with entirely too many stairs.I reached that conclusion somewhere around the third flight, mostly because Brax had spent the climb complaining that people who wanted to interrogate the True Luna should at least have the decency to provide an elevator.“They’re trying to establish dominance,” he said behind me. “Making us climb to them.”Julien didn’t bother turning around. “There are elevators. We aren’t using them because Harold’s security team wants us on a route they already cleared.”Brax considered that for several steps before admitting the reason was acceptable. Linc pointed out that accepting the reason hadn’t actually stopped him from complaining, which started an argument that carried us the rest of the way upstairs.I let them have it.Their voices kept the hearing waiting beyond the double doors from becoming too large in my head.Harold had spent most of the drive reminding us that the council couldn’t decide whether I was the True L

Chapter 106 – Frank Rivers

Rae“My name is Rae.”Frank’s smile remained in place. “Your mother always did prefer nicknames.”The sentence was designed to sound intimate, as though he and Kim had shared enough ordinary years together that he could casually remember her preferences. A week ago, Elena had used the same kind of familiarity to make me believe she occupied a place in my childhood that she hadn’t earned.Frank wasn’t getting the same opportunity.“You don’t get to use my mother to make yourself sound close to me.”Something flickered behind his eyes before disappearing.The formal hearing had become strangely secondary. Council members remained at their tables and pack representatives filled every row behind them, but nobody seemed eager to interrupt a confrontation the petition had probably been designed to create anyway.Frank glanced at the four men beside me. “Still direct. Kim was like that when she was young.”“You wanted me here. Talk to me instead of pretending you know me.”Grant remained clo

Chapter 107 – You Bow Too

RaeFrank recovered his expression long before the wolves surrounding him recovered theirs.One of the Pureblood representatives kept staring at him as though he expected Frank’s wolf to reverse what had happened. Another had moved far enough away that the space between them was impossible to mistake for coincidence.The councilman who had opened the hearing cleared his throat. “I believe a recess would be appropriate.”“No.”Frank’s answer carried across the chamber before anyone could move. He straightened his jacket and faced the council tables with enough composure that someone entering now might never have guessed his own wolf had bowed to me less than a minute ago.“We came here to determine how the True Luna and Sacred Pack fit within the laws and traditions governing modern wolves. One display of instinct doesn’t answer those questions.”“Technically, there have been a lot of displays of instinct,” Brax murmured.Linc squeezed his hand.I almost smiled.Frank’s attention moved

Chapter 108 – Sacred Pack

RaeFrank turned toward me with the ceremonial blade in his hand.He never made it three steps.Brax hit him from the side hard enough to send both of them into the council table. Wood cracked beneath their combined weight, papers scattering across the floor as Frank lost the blade. Linc kicked it away before anyone could reach for it, while Grant pulled me clear and Julien shouted for the council guards to lock down the exits.For half a second, I thought that was it.Then three wolves shifted.The sound of breaking bones ripped through the chamber as men from Frank’s delegation dropped onto four legs. Screams erupted from the upper rows, and the room dissolved into movement as representatives scrambled away from the central floor. More of Frank’s people surged forward without shifting, but their targets made no sense if the goal was simply to reach me.The first wolf went for Grant. Another lunged toward Julien while two men rushed Brax from opposite sides, deliberately driving him

Chapter 109 – My Father’s Daughter

RaeFrank was bleeding when I caught him.A cut above his eyebrow sent a thin line down the side of his face, and his suit jacket hung open as he moved through the council corridor toward the emergency stairs.“Frank.”He stopped.The sounds of fighting continued behind me, but they were already changing beneath shouted orders from council security. Frank’s carefully prepared escape corridor had failed along with the strategy that was supposed to create it.He turned slowly.“You should go back to your mates.”“I think they’re doing fine.”As if answering me, Brax’s fierce satisfaction surged through the network from somewhere inside the chamber.Frank noticed my smile. “You think you’ve won.”“I think you’re running.”“I am leaving a compromised council facility.”“Through an emergency stairwell while your people get arrested.”His mouth tightened.I stopped several feet away.For years, I’d imagined my father as something larger than a man. He’d existed inside nightmares, incomplete

Chapter 110 – Aunt Elena

RaeElena tried to control the evidence before the blood was cleaned from the council floor.That was almost impressive.Alpha Vicker had brought her to the hearing under guard because the records she’d collected were part of the evidence connecting Frank’s Pureblood network to council members and multiple packs. Jesse hadn’t been part of the original hearing at all. He’d arrived later with the Vicker team sent to secure their records after the attack began, which was apparently how he ended up finding Elena before anyone else realized she’d slipped away from the delegation assigned to watch her.He found us near the temporary holding rooms.“Elena’s gone.”Everything stopped.Jesse looked like he’d been dragged through half the building on his way to us. His shirt was untucked, his hair was a mess and a bruise had started forming along his jaw.“What do you mean, gone?” Grant asked.“My father ordered her to stay with the Vicker delegation while the council locked down the building.
