Bella’s POV

Dawn came up gray and slow, the kind of light that makes everything look worse instead of better.

I sat on the porch steps with a blanket someone had pressed into my hands hours ago and never asked for back, watching Thor and Gordon carry the last of the equipment back into the garage like ordinary work could paper over what had happened inside it overnight. Nobody had said much since the intruder’s body had been moved. There wasn’t much left to say that wouldn’t sound small against

  • THE REJECTED LUNA’S SECOND CHANCE WITH THE BIKER ALPHA   Chapter one hundred and thirty

    Bella’s POV“Pack it up. Now.”Thor didn’t wait for me to argue. He was already sweeping the documents back into the box, careless of the fragile paper in a way that told me exactly how much danger he thought we were actually in.My hands moved on instinct, tucking the pendant deep into my jacket pocket, my mind still half caught on my mother’s name even as every other part of me scrambled to catch up with the danger closing in around us.Footsteps on the level above. More than one set this time. Fast, purposeful, nothing like the archivist’s unhurried rounds from before.I said to them "They might not know it is us " and I put the pendant into my jacket pocket. The metal was cold through the fabric. My mind was still thinking about everything the documents had told me. My mothers name was circled in ink. It was a part of a history I had never been allowed to know.. My body was focused on getting out of this room alive.Thors voice was very quiet. "It does not matter who they think it

    Bella’s POVFrey killed the lantern before I even finished processing what I’d heard.We went still, all three of us, pressed into the gap between two shelves stacked floor to ceiling with records older than any of our grandparents, and I held my breath so hard my chest started to ache from it. Somewhere in the dark beside me, I could feel Thor doing the same, his shoulder rigid against mine, and the shared stillness of it steadied me more than words would have.Footsteps. Slow. Deliberate. Not hunting, exactly, more like someone walking a route they’d walked a hundred times before, unhurried because they had no reason to expect company.A light swept past the end of our row, thin and yellow, a hand lantern rather than anything electric, and I caught one glimpse of the person carrying it before they moved on, an older man in council robes, gray-haired, unbothered, the particular gait of someone doing rounds rather than searching for anything in particular.I counted his footsteps the

    Bella’s POV“Say that again.”Thor didn’t repeat himself right away, which told me he understood exactly how badly I needed a second to catch up before he made me hear it twice.“Ronan turned himself in at the council chamber,” he said finally. “Mid-audience. Told them his father isn’t the real threat. Told them you’re the target, not just Draven.”My legs found the porch railing before I’d consciously decided I needed something to hold onto.“He said that to the council. Out loud. In front of everyone.”“According to the runner who brought word back, yes.”Thor’s face had gone carefully neutral, the particular blankness he wore when he was trying not to let me see how worried he actually was. “Draven’s still in there. The presiding elder ordered the chamber cleared of everyone but council and immediate parties. I don’t have anything past that.”I stared out at the yard, at the same spot where Gordon had been carrying equipment back into the garage that morning like ordinary work could

    Draven’s POVThe council chamber hadn’t changed in four years, and that fact alone made my skin want to crawl straight off my body.Same stone floor, worn smooth by feet that had stood exactly where mine stood now, waiting on judgment they’d already decided before ever calling the meeting. Same high seats, seven of them, elders who’d looked old the last time I stood here and hadn’t aged a visible day since, as though time itself moved differently for people who spent centuries deciding who got to keep breathing.I had not set foot in this chamber since the week they buried her. I remembered that day clearly the cold of this stone under my knees when I finally stopped standing the way none of them looked at me directly the entire time they explained why nothing could be done. It had been four years. The room still smelled the same old incense and older judgment.Bella was not beside me. That had been my one condition going in something I had negotiated hard the night and she had hated

    Bella’s POV“That’s not council wax.”Draven’s voice had gone somewhere flat and careful, the kind of calm that only shows up right before something breaks.“Then whose is it,” I asked, already crossing the yard to see for myself.He turned the letter so I could look at it without taking it from his hands. It was like he still wanted to hold onto it in case it was news. The second seal was pressed into the paper below the councils seal. It was smaller and older. I didn't recognize it. It wasn't a wolf. It wasn't a crest. It looked like a knot. Three lines twisted together."I've seen that mark before " Thor said, walking over to us. Gordon was behind him. "Once. On the rope they used to tie Claras wrists."The air got colder.. Maybe it was just me."That was the rope from the night Dravens sister died " I said. Draven knew which sister I meant."The same " Draven said quietly.Gordon studied the seal like it was a machine. "Council wax breaks clean. This ones different. Older. Not mad

    Draven’s POVI dragged my jacket on, the stitches pulling with every move. I felt a few tear open but I ignored it, striding towards the door.Thor was waiting outside with the look he got when he had already decided something was a bad idea and had also already accepted that it was going to happen

    Bella's POV I have waited patiently for days, waiting for Draven to come and visit me as he promised, but I haven't seen him since then. I was too curious to know the reason he would rather not fulfill his promise. “Today has been the fourth day since I last saw Draven. He promised that he would c

    Bella's POV I slowly opened my eyes. I couldn't see the environment clearly because I was just waking up; I needed to get myself first. As I turned and faced up, at first it was blurred from my view, but as I gently opened my eyes, well, it was as if magic happened. “What's good here?” I muttered

    Draven's POV:“Were you not informed by Thor how busy I am today?” I asked immediately as she walked inside my study room.I sat behind the table, a book swapped on it. My hands kept scanning a particular paper, looking for a particular information but I got distracted now that Clara was standing i
