The one I have already arrived at myself, alone, in the chair against the wall, because my mother's letter is in my jacket pocket and it has been there since Mae handed it to me and I have read it enough times to have it memorized. THE AWAKENING SIGNAL: A BLACK RIDGE BLOODLINE WOLF. He stopped just before that. Because saying it means saying what I am and what we are to each other in the context of Victor's plan, and that was a sentence that changes everything it touches, and he was not ready to say it tonight in a lamplit study four hours after I arrived in his territory. I understood this. I was not impatient with it. Understanding something and being ready to say it out loud are two diffe

She would sit there all night if she had to and we both knew it. "Talk," she said. So I talked. I told her about Theo , the mud, the honey eyes, the branch he mostly won against,him running from home . About a group of people looking for him and also his Uncle. I kept it simple. He was tall. Really tall. Dark hair. Green eyes I genuinely was not prepared for. Isla's face had been calm the whole time listening to what I was saying until we got to the last person. "Stop," she said.

He stepped closer, leaning in to whisper in my ear, "But let's get one thing straight. After we bond, stay out of my business with Lily. If you try to marry her off to the Shadow pack again like last time, the bonding is off." I stared at him, completely stunned. How did he know about what happened in my last life? Was he reborn too? Without waiting for a response, Kaelen happily retrieved the moonstone necklace and fastened it around Lily's slender neck. The crowd cheered around them, treating them like the actual bride and groom. Standing alone in the background, I suddenly smiled. From the very beginning, I was the only person who actually held the power to choose my mate.

"I said I'd accept you as my mate. Three days—the bonding ceremony will happen. Play nice. Accept Allison, and we'll all get along fine. Otherwise—I can make history repeat itself." My heart seized. My hand drifted to my belly without thinking. So he remembered too. Damian was also reborn. Luna Queen tried to stop him, but he walked out without a backward glance. Abandoned at my own Choosing Ceremony. The pity in everyone's eyes was suffocating. But I didn't rage. I smiled. Then I turned to Luna Queen. "Luna Queen, the pact was simple. I had to choose between your two sons. I never said I had to pick Damian."

My mind screamed. My heart burned. My body trembled. And the spine’s voice echoed in my head again. “Choose the heir.” My breath shook. My eyes burned. My mind went blank. I stared at the key. And I realized the choice wasn’t between Elliot, Marcus, Liam, or Lena. The choice was between me and the spine. The choice was between being the heir and being the weapon. The choice was between living… and becoming the thing that kills. The chamber shook again.

It was the conversation I had secretly recorded the last time Trinity had come to the estate. I had made sure to fully charge the phone before I died. I wanted Nathan to hear, loud and clear, the true nature of the woman he had chosen, the woman he had been willing to let me die for. A long silence followed. His fingers trembled as he reached for the letter. He pulled out the paper inside and began reading. I had written down every detail of how I had saved him back then, every part of the story that Trinity could never know. The more Nathan read, the redder his eyes became.

the creature asks, though something in its layered voice suggests it already suspects my answer, patient and waiting despite the frost still spreading slow across the stone beneath it. "Choice," I say. "Freely given, freely accepted. Not seized. Not forced. Not manufactured through ritual or desperation or twenty years of careful manipulation." I glance around the chamber, at Jodan, at Riven, at Lucien, at Eryx, at Wren, at my aunt, at my father, at every fractured, complicated ally who chose to stand beside me tonight despite every reason not to. "Every single person who helped me tonight chose to, even when choosing cost them something enormous. Rosalind severed her own bloodline's magic.

But, this wasn't the subject right now. “Do you know what is the difference between a naive fool and a hero of justice?" She clenched her fist, a fierce expression on her face. "It's their strength. The first requirement of being a hero isn’t being right. It’s being strong. That’s why the hero always wins.”

A pack war was coming, and Mountaintop was right in the middle of it. End of book one. Story continues in Mated To The Alphas.
