Rejected For My Curves. Desired By The War Alpha Chapter 27: The Note
My hands shook unfolding it, the first time all night my body had let the fear show instead of burying it under motion.The handwriting was Ysolde’s. I recognized it immediately from the oath recitation, tight and precise, every letter controlled the way everything about her seemed controlled.“What does it say,” Asher asked, close beside me now.I read it aloud, my voice flatter than I felt.“Your family was moved again three hours ago. You will not find them tonight, tomorrow, or any night soon after, unless I decide you should. Consider this a demonstration. I can move anything you care about beyond your reach, whenever I choose, however quietly I choose to do it. Tonight was a lesson, not a punishment. The next one may not be so gentle.”Silence dropped over the bare room.“A lesson,” I repeated, disbelief and fury tangling together in my chest. “She calls this a lesson.”“She’s telling you she can always reach further than you can,” Asher said quietly. “That’s not a threat about

“Someone above her,” I repeated, certain I’d misheard. “Ysolde is the Queen. There’s nobody above her.”“That’s what I would have said too, a month ago,” Elara said, already turned back toward her horse.“Then explain it. Properly, before you go.”“I can’t explain what I don’t understand myself. I only know the pattern. Decisions that trace back further than her own authority should reach. Orders she follows without question, the way nobody follows anyone unless they truly have to.”“You’ve seen this pattern yourself.”“Fragments of it. Enough to know it’s real. Not enough to hand you a name.”“Give me one example. Anything concrete.”“A shipment redirected without her sign off, reversed within the hour once someone else weighed in. A meeting she left mid sentence because a message arrived. Small things. Enough small things add up to a pattern eventually.”Asher’s jaw was tight, calculating. “This changes the shape of tonight.”“It doesn’t change the timeline,” I said. “Whoever’s abov

We were three steps from the gate when a Kade scout came jogging up, hand raised."Wait. There's a rider at the border. Masked. She says she needs to speak with Briar directly and refuses to explain herself to anyone else.""We don't have time for this," Asher said."She says it's urgent enough to be worth the delay.""Everyone says that.""This one didn't try to force her way past the sentries. She just waited."I hesitated, some instinct telling me not to dismiss it outright. "How many riders?""One. Alone. No escort is visible anywhere behind her."That gave me pause. "Bring her to the gate. Two minutes. That's all she gets.""Two minutes we don't have," Asher muttered, already moving toward the gate anyway.We reached the gate to find a lone figure on horseback, cloaked, hood pulled low despite the mild night. She dismounted slowly, hands visible, no weapon drawn."Show your face," Asher said, tension coiled in every line of his."I mean no harm. I'll show you, just give me a mome

The letter was short, the handwriting cramped like it had been written in a hurry.I read it twice before the words fully landed."What does it say?" Wren asked, watching my face change."It's from someone inside the Ashguard. No name. They say my aunt and my cousins have been moved.""Moved where?""It doesn't say exactly. Just that it wasn't safe. Ysolde controls the location directly.""Are you sure it's real? It could be a trap meant to draw you out.""I thought of that. I don't think I can afford to assume it isn't real either way."Wren's face went pale. "That's not a relocation. That's a hostage situation with better paperwork.""I need to go.""Briar.""I need to go now, tonight, before whatever this is gets worse."Asher appeared in the doorway before I'd even finished the sentence, drawn by the tension in my voice."Go where?" he asked."Ashguard. My family's been moved somewhere Ysolde controls.""Alone.""If I have to.""You don't have to. That's suicide, not rescue. You'd

"Your eyes did something last night."Wren didn't look up from the bread she was tearing into smaller and smaller pieces without eating any of it."I don't know what you're talking about.""Wren.""I was tired. Torchlight does strange things.""I know what I saw. Gold. Not brown. Gold, for half a second, right when you crossed the gate.""You imagined it.""I didn't imagine anything. Asher saw it too. Don't tell me you're going to convince both of us we're wrong.""Maybe you were both tired.""We weren't both tired in the same way at the same moment. Try again.""I don't have another explanation for you.""Try harder."She set the bread down finally, arms crossed in the exact defensive posture I remembered from every argument we'd ever had as kids, shoulders up, chin tucked, ready to deflect whatever came next."It's nothing.""It's nothing. I know what it looks like when someone's hiding something. I've been doing it my whole life.""Maybe I just need sleep.""Wren.""What do you wan

I walked toward the gate expecting a messenger, some stiff Ashguard official reciting a diplomatic script. Instead, I found Wren, bruised and travel-worn, standing exactly where the sentry said she'd be."You've got to be kidding me," I said."Nice to see you too.""What are you doing here? Alone. At this hour. It looked like you walked the whole way.""I did walk most of the way. Riding would have gotten me noticed.""Noticed by who?""That's the part I need to explain.""Then explain. I don't have patience for riddles tonight.""I'm aware. I heard about the battle.""Everyone's heard about the battle, apparently."Asher arrived a moment later, taking in the sight of her with open suspicion. "This is my sister.""This is the sister," I confirmed."The one who mocked you in a courtyard.""That's the one.""And she's asking for what, exactly?""I haven't gotten that far yet.""Get there. Quickly."Wren straightened despite the exhaustion clearly dragging at her. "Asylum. I'm asking for
