Louve POV

It was nearly midnight when my phone rang again. I was still in the car. Hadn't moved. My eyes were fixed on the street ahead, seeing nothing, thinking about everything.

The number that lit up the screen wasn't saved.

But I knew it.Something in the base of my chest recognised it before my brain caught up as the way a nerve responds to heat before the mind registers pain. I stared at it for two full rings.

Then I answered.

"Louve."

His voice. Low, steady, carrying the particular weight

    LouveShe was in the upper corridor when I found her. Standing near the window that overlooked the rear grounds, still watching. She must have heard the alarm and come out immediately, because she was dressed and fully alert, her silver eyes scanning the grounds below. She heard me coming. And turned before I reached her. One look at my face and something changed in hers. She knew."You spoke to him," she said. It wasn't a question."Kael." I stopped in front of her. "He said to ask you about the night my father died. He said to ask you why you stayed. He said to ask you about a bargain made before I was born."The corridor was quiet. Everyone else was still occupied at the outer walls or securing the lower floors. For this moment, it was just the two of us. Elina looked at me for a long time. Long enough that I knew the answer was going to be something I wasn't ready for."Sit down," she said quietly."I'll stand,” I said.She accepted that without argument. She turned to look out th

  • My Secret Alpha Mate    Chapter 38: The Hour Everything Broke Open

    Louve POVThe moment the alarm sounded, I was already awake. Not because I heard it first. Because my wolf had already risen inside me, pressing against my skin like something old and furious demanding to be let out. I had been lying in bed staring at the ceiling for two hours, listening to the mansion settle around me, listening to the distant patrol movements, listening to the particular quality of the night that told me something was wrong even before the alarm confirmed it. When the horn sounded from the northern watch post, I was already out of bed and reaching for my jacket.The corridor was chaos by the time I stepped into it. Guards moving in both directions. Two of the pack warriors running toward the outer gates, one pulling on his armor. The house attendants had sealed the interior doors. I could hear voices from downstairs; organized, controlled, but quick with urgency. Elina appeared from the end of the corridor. She looked at me and immediately knew I was already ahead o

  • My Secret Alpha Mate    Chapter 37: The Elder's Warning

    Austin's POV The Pack Hall felt different the moment I stepped inside. It was much quieter than I expected. The kind of atmosphere that settled into your bones before anyone even spoke. The kind that told you something had already gone wrong. I pushed through the massive wooden doors and immediately noticed the crowd.Pack warriors, scouts, and senior members. Even elders who rarely left their private quarters. Every seat around the circular chamber was occupied. And that alone was enough to make my instincts sharpen.Something serious was happening. At the center of the room stood my father.Alpha Caden.His expression was unreadable, but the tension in his shoulders gave him away.Lynx was already there, leaning against one of the stone pillars with his arms crossed.His eyes found mine immediately."You made it.""Barely," I muttered.Lynx gave me a brief nod before his attention returned to the room. Whatever was happening, it had his full focus. And that worried me, because very

  • My Secret Alpha Mate    Chapter 36: Pieces of the Past

    Austin POV I tried so hard to fall into my temporary death routine, but sleep never came. I gave up trying somewhere around two in the morning.The cabin was silent except for the occasional crackle from the fireplace and the distant sound of wind brushing through the trees outside.Normally, silence didn't bother me. But tonight it did, because I felt how uneasy I became. Because every time I closed my eyes, I saw the same thing.Selin walking through those gates.The Star Crox Dynamite Pack gates. The rival pack. The pack my family had spent years pretending didn't exist.I sat on the edge of the sofa, staring into the darkness. My coffee had long gone cold because I didn't touch it.My wolf was restless. And when my wolf became restless for no reason, I had learned to pay attention.Something was wrong. I just didn't know what it was yet. I leaned forward and rubbed a hand across my face. The whole thing made no sense. Selin wasn't from pack society. At least, that was what I had

  • My Secret Alpha Mate    Chapter 35: The Traitor Within

    Selin's POVThe atmosphere changed the moment the guard uttered those words. Inside the mansion grounds. Not outside, or even near the walls. Not somewhere beyond the forest.But inside.The realization settled over the room like a storm cloud. For several seconds, nobody spoke. The crackling fireplace suddenly sounded too loud. I stared at the torn black fabric lying on the table.Panther cloth.I had seen enough of it recently to recognize it instantly. Louve remained standing beside the table, her shoulders tense. Her eyes never left the fabric."Who found it?" she asked.The guard immediately straightened."The northern patrol unit.""When?""Less than an hour ago."Louve nodded once. "Tell no one."The guard blinked. "Miss Louve?""No panic." Her voice became firm. "No rumors. No discussions among the staff. No unnecessary patrol movements."The guard looked confused."But if someone has infiltrated…""Exactly." Louve cut him off."If someone has infiltrated us, I don't want the

  • My Secret Alpha Mate    Chapter 34: Secrets Behind Closed Doors

    Louve POV Night had settled fully over the estate.Outside my bedroom window, the wind moved softly through the ancient trees surrounding the mansion grounds, carrying with it the distant sounds of wolves on patrol. The moon hung low above the forest, silver light spilling across the gardens below. For most people, the sight would have been peaceful. But for me, it wasn't. Not tonight.Too much had happened.Too many questions remained unanswered.And somewhere beyond these walls, panther shifters were searching for me. I glanced across the room. Selin sat curled up on the sofa near the fireplace, wrapped in a blanket one of the housemaids had brought her earlier. The flames danced across her face, highlighting the exhaustion she was trying so hard to hide. She looked tired. Not physically but emotionally. The kind of tiredness that settled deep in a person's bones. Neither of us spoke for a while. The silence wasn't uncomfortable. It never had been between us.Eventually, Selin brok

    Selin's POVI had a list.That was the whole plan. A short, practical, completely unromantic list of things I needed before I packed a bag and moved myself into Louve's family mansion. The woman whose family viewed me as a convenience at best.Toiletries. A decent set of pajamas that didn't have a

    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

    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.
