She was sitting on my bed when I came back.

Not Maren. Not Luca.

Vivian.

She had not dressed yet. Her hair was loose, which I had not seen in years, and she sat with her hands folded in her lap in the careful way she always sat when she was holding herself together by force.

I stopped in the doorway.

She looked up.

No sweetness. No performance. Just my sister, smaller than the version of her I kept in my memory, sitting in my room in the early morning light with her eyes red at the edges.

  • The Alpha My Sister Wanted   Chapter Seventy-Three: The Current

    The older Bloodstone wolf’s voice followed us into the passage.“Keep going.”I did.The tunnel bent sharply and dropped beneath the weight of the mountain. Cassian’s torch threw a narrow circle of light ahead of us, barely enough to show wet stone, uneven ground, and the same three shallow marks cut beside every turn.Ezra stayed behind me. Boots scraped over rock beyond him as the Bloodstone wolves entered the marked route.They were done waiting.The sound of water grew until it swallowed everything else.The passage opened beside a river running through the cave, black and fast beneath the torchlight. A narrow shelf followed the wall above it, no wider than my shoulders in places. Spray washed over the edge and left the stone shining.Cassian lifted the torch.The shelf continued for twenty feet before widening at another tunnel. Cracks ran through the middle section, thin near the wall and deeper at the outer edge where the current had worn away the rock beneath it.“That won’t h

  • The Alpha My Sister Wanted   Chapter Seventy-Two: The Command That Wasn’t His

    Maren’s POVVictor had promised consequences.By midday, Darius had given him witnesses.The senior council room had never felt especially large, but it felt smaller with every chair occupied. Darius sat at the head of the table. I sat beside him, with Harwick, the Beta pair and three senior wolves positioned along either side.A recorder waited near the window with an open ledger.Vivian sat at the far end of the table. She wore dark green, her hands folded neatly in her lap. Luca stood near the door at Darius’s request, no smile on his face for once.Victor entered last.His eyes moved over the room before he took the empty chair halfway down the table.He had expected consequences to happen privately.That had been his first mistake.Darius rested both hands on the table.“This hearing concerns the security hold placed on Aurora Vale, Maren’s decision to release her and the allegations surrounding the suppression of Aurora’s wolf.”Victor looked toward the recorder.“I was told thi

  • The Alpha My Sister Wanted   Chapter Seventy-One: The Way Below

    Cold air kept rising out of the gap Cassian had opened, carrying the smell of damp earth and standing water, and rust somewhere underneath it. I had one foot toward the opening when Ezra's hand closed hard around my arm."Wait."Boots on stone, more than one set, moving without any effort to stay quiet. More boots stopped further back. I counted at least four sets, maybe more.Cassian went rigid, angled toward the sound.Three figures appeared in the tunnel behind us, spreading out across the entrance to the chamber. Behind them, other shapes shifted in the dark, waiting rather than advancing."Bloodstone," Cassian said, low.The older one, grey through the jaw, let his gaze move from the lit wall to the gap at our feet. The corner of his mouth tightened."Go on," he said. "You opened the way."Nobody moved for a second. I studied him, the set of his shoulders, the way none of the three behind him so much as shifted their weight. None of them looked nervous or impatient. They stood th

    A steady pressure tugged beneath my ribs the whole way in, always pointing forward, not letting up even when I stopped to catch my breath."You feel it too," Cassian said, watching my face."Here." I pressed a hand flat against my own sternum. "Like pressure. Pulling this way." I nodded down the passage. "It has not stopped since the entrance opened."Nobody argued.The tunnel opened into a chamber bigger than I expected. Ezra's torchlight reached the far wall, and all three of us stopped.Two wolves, carved into the rock, life-sized or bigger.One was smaller, sleeker, its coat worked through with hundreds of tiny embedded flecks of something pale that caught the torchlight and threw it back silver. The other stood behind it, massive, its eyes two deep-set hollows filled with the same silver material.Ezra had gone still beside me, staring at the larger wolf's eyes."They look like mine," he said quietly."It doesn't have to be you."Even to me, the words sounded weak.His grip on th

  • The Alpha My Sister Wanted   Chapter Sixty-Nine: Where the Path Ended

    The trees started thinning out before Cassian said anything, and I noticed him slow down before I understood why."It should be just up here." He stopped walking. Started again. "Past that grey ridge."We came over it together and he just stopped, flat out, and Ezra grabbed his arm on reflex before either of us had worked out what was wrong.Rock. That was all there was. A long stretch of it running the length of the hillside, no gap, no shadow suggesting a gap, nothing that looked like anything other than a hill made of stone.Cassian walked up to it and put both hands flat against the surface like he thought it might move if he pushed hard enough."It was here." He said it quietly, almost to the rock rather than to us. "I stood inside it. I remember the light on the floor. I remember exactly where the light fell.""It has been twenty years," Ezra said, careful, not unkind."I know how long it has been." Cassian didn't turn around. "She stood me in a doorway once and let me think it

  • The Alpha My Sister Wanted   Chapter Sixty-Eight: What the Fire Knew

    We found shelter in a shallow rock overhang an hour after the eyes had disappeared into the trees, defensible on three sides, close enough to water that Cassian judged it safe enough to risk a small fire.None of us spoke for a long while after he lit it.I sat with my knees pulled to my chest, watching the flames, still turning over what had happened in those woods, the certainty that had moved through me before any of them had heard or smelled a thing."You went quiet again," Ezra said, settling beside me."I am thinking about what happened back there. Sensing something before either of you did."Cassian looked up from where he was checking the perimeter, his expression careful. "That was not usual, Aurora. I do not say that to frighten you. I say it because I think you deserve to understand what is happening to you, piece by piece, rather than discovering it only when it becomes too large to explain.""Then explain it," I said.He was quiet for a moment, choosing his words the way
