Sold to the Beast Alpha After My Rejection CHAPTER 150: Under the Moon Goddess
Nerissa POVThe night after the assembly, Obsidian Keep was quiet for the first time in months.I stood at the northern corridor window and listened to it.The assembly ran until evening. The formal documentation signing took longer thanDarius projected because forty Alphas applying pack seals to foundational charterdocuments was a process that could not be hurried without insulting the significance ofwhat was being signed. Darius managed the pace with his characteristic flat precisionand did not once show the strain of managing it.Afterward there was a gathering in the main ground.Food and fire and the sounds of forty packs finding the particular ease that comes afterthe hard thing is finished.I moved through it with Zayden beside me and the twins passed between Edna andIsolde and Evander and Harper and Aldric Crowe who held both grandchildren in thefirelight with his recovering eyes.The pure undefended wonder of someone receiving something they stopped belie
Sold to the Beast Alpha After My Rejection CHAPTER 149: The Kingdom Restored
Nerissa POVThe first delegation arrived before sunrise.Felix of Ironfang with his healed shoulder and his flat operational eyes and twelvewolves behind him in full Ironfang colors. They came through the rebuilt eastern gate inan organized manner.I was on the northern wall when I saw them come through.Been there since before dawn. The full embrace changed what early mornings felt like.The fortress frequency at that hour was particular and clear. Every sleeping wolfproduces a quiet steady hum that the permanent sensitivity reads as a single collectivesound. The sound of Obsidian Keep at rest.It was the most peaceful thing I felt since the power became permanent.I went down to meet Felix at the inner corridor entrance.He stopped when he saw me.I looked at the Mark. At the pendant. At whatever the full embrace was doing to thequality of my presence that wolves had been responding to differently since the mainground ceremony."Luna," he said."Felix," I said
Sold to the Beast Alpha After My Rejection CHAPTER 148: Moonlit Promises
Nerissa POVThe night before the territorial assembly Zayden could not sleep.I lay still for a moment.Listening to him breathe in the way that meant he was awake. The slight difference inrhythm. "Say it," I said."Say what?" he said."Whatever is keeping you awake," I said.The room was dark. The oil lamp had burned down hours ago. The northern territoryoutside the window was the deep black of a clear night with no cloud cover and the fullmoon three days past but still producing enough light that the window was a palerectangle in the dark wall."Forty packs arrive tomorrow," he said."Yes," I said."The Ashfen and Thornwall boundary dispute documentation is prepared," he said."Darius has arranged the session order so that dispute comes second rather than first.First impressions of the assembly should not be a territorial conflict between twoattending packs.""That is sensible," I said."The three eastern packs with incomplete Ashmoor alliance documentation h
Sold to the Beast Alpha After My Rejection CHAPTER 147:The Obsidian Heirs
Nerissa POV It started with the weather.Aldric was three weeks old when the first storm came from nowhere.A dark formation building directly above the fortress in a sky that was clear twentyminutes before. Building fast and from nothing and sitting directly over Obsidian Keepwith the intentionality of weather that has been directed.Felt it through the permanent sensitivity.I went inside.Found Aldric in Evander's arms in the eastern corridor.Awakes,his eyes pointed at the ceiling with the focused upward attention he gave thingsthat interested him. His small fists open rather than closed.Evander looked at me when I came through the corridor entrance."How long?" I said."Four minutes," he said. "He woke from sleep and looked at the ceiling and the skychanged."I crouched in front of them and looked at my son.He looked at me.Then I looked at the ceiling again.The storm above the fortress rumbled once.Aldric's open hands moved.Tiny fingers spreading wide
Sold to the Beast Alpha After My Rejection CHAPTER 146: The Alpha and His Luna
Nerissa POVWe rode back to Obsidian Keep on the third morning.The southern territory and the northern terrain ahead and the particular quality of thejourney back to a place being different from the journey away from it. Going awaycarries anticipation of what you will find. Coming back carries the weight of what you leftand what you are returning to and the question of whether those two things will fittogether properly when you arrive.Obsidian Keep appeared on the horizon.The Mark on my forearm warmed when I saw it. The bloodline knows its territory the way a wolf knows the scent of home even from adistance.Zayden was riding beside me and he felt me stop and looked at where I was lookingand said nothing. Just sat his horse beside mine and looked at his fortress on thenorthern horizon with something in his face that he was not managing."It looks different from out here," I said."It always does," he said. "I used to ride out to this hill when I was younger. Wh
Sold to the Beast Alpha After My Rejection CHAPTER 145:Rowan's Grave
Nerissa POVThey buried him at the eastern edge of Red Claw Pack territory.That ground was for Alphas who died in their territory leading their pack. Rowan haddied outside his territory protecting someone else's Luna and his pack made a decisionabout what that meant and where it placed him.They buried him where the territory met the open land,at the boundary. A Beta wolf named Ethan who handled the pack's ceremonial decisions in the vacancyexplained it to me when I asked. Said the elders had debated it and concluded thatRowan Blackthorn at the end of his life had been neither purely Red Claw nor purelyObsidian. Had belonged to both and to something larger than either.Zayden did not argue. He looked at me across the breakfast table in the room theacting Alpha prepared for us in the Red Claw Pack residential corridor and simply saidwhat time and I said midmorning and he nodded and that had been the fullconversation.Harper started to say something and stopped her

Nerissa POVThe doors of the pack house slammed behind me.My feet hit the wet ground and I just ran without direction. The rain started heavily before I even reached the tree line.The forest swallowed me fast. Trees closing in on every side, branches slapping my face and arms, roots catching my

Nerissa POV The servant standing outside the door looked uncomfortable.“The gathering has already started.”Humiliation never came alone in the Red Claw Pack.“I have to go,” I whispered.“What?”“If I don’t…” My throat tightened. “Aunt Mara will punish both of us.”Harper cursed under her breath

Nerissa POV My chest burned like something inside me was being ripped apart.I stumbled backward clutching my heart.The air around me became too heavy to breathe.“oh shit…” I whispered shakily.Across the room, Rowan looked just as shocked.His wolf was reacting too,I could smell it now.Calista
