Betrayed By My Alpha Mate, Claimed By The Lycan Prince Chapter 26: A Plan with Too Many Holes
SierraI spread everything out on the floor of my chamber at midnight. Every scrap I'd gathered in six months, laid out in candlelight, refusing to form a plan no matter how many times I moved the pieces around.The rough map of Glendale's northern estate, drawn from memory and Dennet's descriptions. The guard rotation. The ten-minute gap between midnight and dawn. A route out I'd sketched a dozen times and trusted less each time I looked at it.I sat back and made myself look at it honestly.It wasn't enough.A gap in a rotation that might not even exist anymore. No confirmed way out once I was inside with a screaming infant in my arms. Training that let me land a hit on Fenris in a controlled ring, and no idea if that would mean anything against real wolves hunting me in the dark.I could get myself killed. Worse, I could get Aurora killed.I sat with that a long time before I made myself face what I'd been avoiding. I needed help. Real help, not scraps gathered in secret. And there
Betrayed By My Alpha Mate, Claimed By The Lycan Prince Chapter 25: The Date Is Set
SierraKairo didn't speak to me the next morning. Or the morning after that.It wasn't cruelty, exactly. He was polite when we crossed paths, correct in every outward way a prince was supposed to be correct with his wife. But the warmth was gone, folded away somewhere I couldn't reach, and the silence between us had teeth now in a way it hadn't before the stables came up.I was still turning that over three days later when Varek found me in the corridor outside my chambers, his face carrying the same grim urgency I'd seen the night the Glendale letter came in."Where's the Prince," I asked."Already summoned. You should come as well." He didn't elaborate further, just turned and led the way, and I followed with my pulse climbing, certain whatever this was, it wasn't good.Kairo was already in the war room when we arrived, a map of Glendale's territory spread across the table, one of his scout’s standing rigid beside it."Tell her what you told me," Kairo said, not looking up.The scou
Betrayed By My Alpha Mate, Claimed By The Lycan Prince Chapter 24: She Won't Believe Me
SierraI noticed the change before I could name it. Kairo lingering too long in doorways. Watching me cross a room like he was checking for something. A question asked twice, worded differently the second time.I finally cornered him about it in his study."You've been strange with me," I said."Strange how.""Watchful. Like you're waiting for me to slip up.""I've had a lot on my mind. The investigation. The border reports.""It feels like it's about me."He didn't answer that. I decided if something had shifted between us, I might as well say the thing I'd been holding back."There's something I need to tell you. About Liriel."His expression closed off. "What about her.""I don't think she's the friend she pretends to be. I think she's dangerous, and I think you're too close to her to see it.""That's a serious accusation.""I know how it sounds.""Do you? Because it sounds like jealousy." His voice stayed level, but there was an edge under it. "I've known Liriel since we were chil

Kairo"You look troubled," Liriel said, settling into the chair across from my desk without waiting for an invitation, the way she'd done since we were children and formality had never quite applied between us."Council business.""You always say that when it isn't council business." She studied me with the particular patience of someone who'd known me longer than almost anyone left alive. "Is it about the poisoning? Any progress on who's responsible?""Some thread. Nothing certain.""You suspect someone.""I'm not discussing it, Liriel.""Fair enough." She let the silence sit for a moment, then added, almost carelessly, "It's strange, though. Sierra's been oddly private lately, hasn't she? More than usual, I mean.""She's recovering. People withdraw when they're recovering.""Is that what it is." She said it lightly, not quite a question, and I felt something small and unwelcome catch in my chest at the phrasing. "I only mention it because I've noticed her disappearing for stretches

Sierra"Let me see it.""Sierra—""Let me see the letter, Kairo." I was already crossing the room toward Varek before either of them could stop me, my heart slamming so hard against my ribs I could feel it in my throat. "If it references a daughter, I need to know whose."Varek glanced at Kairo, who gave a small, tight nod, and handed the dispatch over without argument. My hands were shaking badly enough that the parchment trembled as I unfolded it, my eyes scanning the recovered fragments too fast to properly read at first.It wasn't my hand.The relief hit before the words fully registered different phrasing, a different name signed at the bottom, a reference to a daughter's wedding dowry that had nothing to do with anything I'd written. Some merchant's private business, tangled up in a robbery that had nothing to do with me, a coincidence cruel enough to stop my heart for a full minute over nothing at all."This isn't mine," I said, and my voice came out unsteady with the aftershoc
Betrayed By My Alpha Mate, Claimed By The Lycan Prince Chapter 21: Watched Without Knowing
SierraI noticed the first shadow three days after the poisoning, trailing me at a careful distance during my morning walk through the east garden. I noticed the second the following afternoon, stationed just outside the training ring, watching Fenris knock me down with an attentiveness that had nothing to do with admiring the technique. By the fourth day, I'd counted no fewer than three separate guards positioned wherever I happened to be, none of them announcing themselves, all of them pretending to be occupied with something else entirely whenever I looked their way.I found Kairo in his study that evening and didn't bother sitting down first."I want to know why I'm being followed."He didn't look up immediately from the correspondence in front of him, which told me he'd been expecting this conversation and had hoped to delay it a little longer. "You're not being followed. You're being protected.""There's a man stationed outside my window right now pretending to inspect the hed
