Alpha Bikers CHAPTER THIRTY THREE
I don't remember the next several minutes in full sequence. I've reconstructed them since, partly from what others told me afterward and partly from fragments that surfaced later, disordered, the way memory sometimes returns after something has overwhelmed the part of you that usually keeps things in order.What I remember most clearly is the sound going strange first — not quieter, not louder, just wrong, as though the room had been recorded and was now being played back through a damaged speaker. Voices arrived without their usual edges. Yolanda was saying something, and Rhen was saying something, and I understood that they were asking me questions, but the questions arrived as shapes without content, the way language sounds when you're falling asleep against your will and trying not to.The static that had been building all day stopped being background and became foreground entirely. I had spent the whole afternoon distinguishing it from the actual signal of the room, holding the l

The session continued for another forty minutes, and I watched, with a growing and very specific horror, as the structure I'd helped build began to harden around the wrong foundation.Forty minutes is not a long time, in most contexts. I have sat through forty-minute stretches of ordinary work without registering them as anything more than a portion of an afternoon. This forty minutes felt different — each one passing with the particular slowness of watching something happen that you have started, that you can see clearly is wrong, and that you cannot yet find the words to stop.Rhen, working from the assessment I'd given, began directing questions toward Corwin with a different inflection than he'd used before — gentler in tone but pointed in substance, the careful pressure a moderator applies when he believes a party is managing concealed resistance rather than engaging honestly. Corwin, for his part, responded to this shift the way anyone would respond to being subtly accused of ba

The third dispute of the afternoon was the one that mattered most, structurally — the council had scheduled it deliberately for this slot, after the room had warmed into the rhythm of the day, because it was the most contentious of the four and the one most likely to benefit from whatever read I could offer.I didn't know any of that context in the moment with the clarity I'm able to give it now. In the moment, I knew only that the blur from the second dispute hadn't cleared during the brief transition, that the pressure I'd been mistaking for individual signals was, if anything, building rather than resolving, and that Rhen, moderating this session, was about to ask me directly for an assessment.He did, partway through the second representative's statement. A pause built into the structure, a moment where the room turned, by habit now, toward my corner of the table."Luna. What are you reading?"The room's attention settled on me, forty pairs of eyes finding their way to my corner o
Alpha Bikers CHAPTER THIRTY
The second dispute of the afternoon involved a territorial disagreement between two packs whose history went back further than anyone in the room except, apparently, two elderly representatives who sat near the back, occasionally exchanging glances that suggested they remembered the original injury firsthand. I noted that detail almost automatically, the way I noted small human textures in every room, even as everything beneath the noting had started to feel less stable than it should.I tried to read the room the way I always did — distinct signatures, each state attributable to its source, the careful sorting that had been instinctive for as long as I could remember being able to do this at all.What I got instead was something closer to weather than to individual readings. A general pressure, directional but not specific, the way you can tell a storm is moving in without being able to say exactly which cloud carries the most rain.I sat with this for a moment, trying to apply more
Alpha Bikers CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
The first morning session lasted three hours, and by the end of it I knew, with a clarity I could no longer rename, that something was wrong.Not wrong in the room. Wrong in me.The session itself was structured the way Sable had described — a series of shorter presentations from regional representatives, broader in scope than the individual disputes I usually handled, less about reading two specific parties and more about taking the temperature of an entire room's accumulated grievance. I was meant to offer, at intervals, a general assessment: where the tension was concentrated, where there was room for movement, where there wasn't.I had done versions of this before, at smaller scale. The skill itself wasn't unfamiliar. What was unfamiliar was the sensation underneath the skill — a kind of effortful straining that hadn't been there in any prior session, even the difficult ones, even the eight-hour ruling session the week before.I recognized the sensation, eventually, for what it wa
Alpha Bikers CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT
The assembly had been on the calendar since before I arrived for the season, a fixed point everyone referenced the way you'd reference a known storm on a long-range forecast: distant enough not to worry about yet, certain enough to eventually arrive.It was, Sable explained in the briefing the week before, the largest gathering the council convened — representatives from every pack within the regional jurisdiction, support staff, council members both full and advisory, gathered for two days to address the cumulative backlog of cross-pack tension that smaller sessions hadn't fully resolved. Forty-some people, by Sable's count, moving through the space across the two days, though never all at once.I had never been in a room that size. My largest prior session had been fifteen, the monthly full council meeting, and even that had required techniques I'd developed specifically to manage it. Sable walked through the agenda with her usual thoroughness — the morning sessions, the afternoon d

KNOXThe penthouse smelled like fresh paint and nobody.I'd bought the building at two in the morning through Grayson's cousin's real estate contact, paid forty percent over asking price in cash, and moved exactly nothing into the top floor except a burner phone charger and myself. No furniture. No

RILEYThe whole apartment turned into a zoo in like two seconds flat. Damien was yelling about lawyers and trespassing and calling it assault, while waving his phone around like he was gonna call the cops right there. Guests were whispering and filming and some lady actually started live-streaming.

KNOXI was still standing there like a complete moron, dripping water all over Riley’s hallway floor, heart banging so loud I swear the neighbors could hear it, when the bedroom door at the end of the hall flew open like someone kicked it. Two tiny kids came running out full speed, socks sliding on

KNOXOur eyes met, and the desire that I had convinced myself for the past five years that it wasn't there any more, suddenly surged in. Her mouth hung open, tears on the brim of rolling down her eyes.She tried closing the door, but I was faster and used my powers to rush in before she was able to
