My Secret Alpha Mate Chapter 47: The Mark She Left Behind
Elina POV She had been in the house for six weeks before Elina saw the mark. It was not something she had been looking for. She was not the kind of woman who looked for things she had spent years training herself not to hope for. Hope, in her experience, was the most dangerous thing a person could carry. It made you see patterns in coincidences. It made you hear names in sounds that didn't contain them. She had been very disciplined about hope for a long time. But she had not been looking for the mark. She had simply seen it.It was a Tuesday morning. Selin had come through the side corridor after a long session with Dessa in the archive room, the one where the documented ability research was kept. She was wearing her hair pulled up, which she didn't always do, and she had the slightly drained quality of someone who had been using a perceptive faculty at intensity for several hours. Elina had been at the corridor table, going through Cian's developmental notes from Augusta, when Seli
My Secret Alpha Mate Chapter 46: Alexander and the Thing He Couldn't Control
Alexander POVLouve told me that evening. She came to find me in the eastern hall, where I had been sitting alone after the day's planning session, and she sat down across from me with the particular stillness that meant she had something to say that could not be approached obliquely. That was one of the things I had always respected about my sister. She did not circle. She did not soften. When she had something to say, she said it."I'm pregnant," she said.I looked at her."Lynx's," I said."Yes."The room was very still.I am a man who has spent his adult life learning to control his reactions. The pack watched me. The warriors watched me. Decisions made in visible emotion were decisions made poorly. I had learned this at our father's knee and had polished it to a discipline in the years after his death when control was the only thing I had. I sat in that stillness now and I did the thing I had learned to do. I did not react. I did not speak immediately. I let the information arriv
My Secret Alpha Mate Chapter 45: The Pregnancy Test
Louve POVI noticed it three days after the summit meeting. Four days after Kael stood at our wall. Five days, give or take, after the last time Lynx and I had been together. It wasn't a feeling, exactly. Or not only a feeling. It was a sequence of small, strange things that I would have explained away individually but that collectively stopped being possible to ignore. The nausea in the early morning, which I attributed to stress. The vertigo when I stood too quickly, which I attributed to not sleeping enough. The way certain smells that had never bothered me were suddenly intolerable. Coffee, which I normally relied on, made me leave the room. I sat with it for two days before I let myself think the word.Then I thought the word, and everything became very still and very loud at the same time.I went to Augusta, the pack healer, who had the particular discretion of someone who had been handling private matters for a powerful family for decades, at dawn on the fifth morning, before a
My Secret Alpha Mate Chapter 44: The Weight of a Secret-2
Selin POV I went to the east wing, where the guest rooms were quieter, and I sat by the window and I looked at the phone. I had one contact on this phone. Louve's number. But I had memorized the other one. Without meaning to, the way you memorize things you're not supposed to want. I stared at the phone for a very long time. Then I opened a message thread and typed a number in manually.I'm at the estate. I know you know that. I know who you are now, or at least who your brother is, which probably amounts to the same thing. And maybe I need you… I paused. Then, looked at what I'd written. Then kept going.I'm not going to pretend that doesn't complicate things. It clearly does. But someone tried to kill me in my apartment, and before that you sat with me in the dark of a stuck lift and you weren't strange about it, which given the circumstances is something I keep thinking about more than I should. I'm not asking you to come here. I know that's not simple. I just wanted to say that I
My Secret Alpha Mate Chapter 43: The Weight of a Secret
Selin POV The morning arrived loud. Not in the explosive way of alarms or approaching threats. In the ordinary, domestic loudness of a large house waking up with footsteps in corridors, voices in the kitchen, the smell of coffee drifting through the vents, and the particular energy of people who have been up through a crisis night and are now running on determination and caffeine rather than actual rest. I found Louve in the front sitting room at half past eight. She was not alone.The man beside her I knew immediately, though I had only seen him once from a rooftop-level distance in the dark. My memory sharpened instantly. But Louve had described him enough times over the years, in the gaps between not talking about him, that I would have known him anyway. I froze.Lynx.He was taller than I'd pictured. Not dramatically, but noticeably. He had the kind of presence that didn't announce itself loudly, it simply made the room around it feel slightly denser, the way a mountain makes the
My Secret Alpha Mate Chapter 42: Something else she wants.
Alexander POV We moved along the inner path that ran between the wall and the first row of old trees. The estate grounds were quiet, but I could feel the watch-presence of the guards positioned throughout. She had this place in order. She always had things in order, even when she was barely holding them."Kael came himself," I said."Yes.""What did he say?"She was quiet for a pace. Then, "He told me to ask Elina about the night my father died."I processed that without reacting."And did you?""Yes."I waited."It wasn't your pack," she said.Three words. Which hit in a quite and precise way. The ground of twelve years of complicated history shifted beneath that sentence. I could actually sense it internally. I looked at her. She was not looking at me yet. She was looking at the path ahead, walking with the measured step of someone carrying something very carefully."Louve," I said."Someone inside our pack killed him, but maybe someone from the panther shifters" she said. "We don'
My Secret Alpha Mate Chapter 21: Between Two Fires
Louve's POVMy phone buzzed twice on the passenger seat before I even made it back to the main road.I glanced at it at the next red light and felt my brow pull together.Selin.I answered on the third buzz."Hey," I said."Hey yourself." Her voice was lower than usual, stripped of the sharp wit sh
My Secret Alpha Mate Chapter 18: The Silence That Comes After
Selin POV I woke up feeling heavy, adjusting to the dim light that seeped through the curtain. For a moment I didn't move. My body ached in a quiet protest, but I felt better than last night. The drug Louve gave me was effective. The bandages around my ribs are tightening with every breath. I push
My Secret Alpha Mate Chapter 17: The Hunt Reaches Me
Louve POV The moment I stepped out of the room, the air shifted. The atmosphere I felt around me wasn't the same as before. Not subtle but violent. A sharp crash echoed from the far end of the hall—metal bending, something breaking through like a force. Without wasting much time, I moved through t
My Secret Alpha Mate Chapter 16: The Gurl who called my name
Louve POV I paused for a while, trying to recap what the guard had said.I turned to him. "Take me to her." He nodded.The corridor felt longer than it should have. Elina's steps were more advanced, her expression unreadable. She knew where the girl was. Every step echoed too loudly. Neither did I
