The Alpha My Sister Wanted Chapter Twenty-Five: The Meeting
Victor was already seated when I walked in.Of course he was.The meeting room was on the upper floor of the pack house, a long table of dark wood, high windows that let in the early grey light, and chairs arranged with the particular deliberateness of a man who understood that where people sat told you everything about what they believed.Victor sat at the head.Darius sat to his left with his hands folded on the table and his face arranged into that careful stillness I had stopped mistaking for neutrality.Maren sat beside Darius. She did not look at Victor when I entered. She looked at me.Two senior wolves I recognised but did not know well sat further down. The Beta pair, Luca had said. They watched me cross the room with expressions I could not fully read.Vivian was already seated on Victor's right.She did not look up when I came in.Ezra stood at the window.Not seated. Standing, with his back partially to the room and his arms loose at his sides, looking out at the ridge the
The Alpha My Sister Wanted Chapter Twenty-Four: Before Dawn
I did not sleep.I lay on top of the covers in the dark and stared at the ceiling and listened to the house settle around me and thought about three words written in black ink at the bottom of a page someone had tried to bury.Moonfall Alpha claim.My wolf turned the words over and over the way she turned over things that were already true and simply waiting to be confirmed.I had Alpha blood.I did not know how I knew that. There was no proof. Not yet. Just a transfer record and a sealed file and a name my wolf had recognised before my mind caught up.But I knew.The same way I knew the ridge. The same way I knew Ezra's wolf before I understood what that pull meant. The same way I had always known, somewhere beneath everything Victor had told me about myself, that the story he was telling was not the whole one.I was not just Liora's daughter.I was not just the girl with the disputed birth record and the blank where a father's name should have been.I was something Victor had been a
The Alpha My Sister Wanted Chapter Twenty-Three: What Comes Next
Ezra did not leave.That was the thing I kept coming back to as Luca disappeared around the corner and the corridor settled back into its particular brand of loaded silence.He had every reason to.Victor would be looking for him. Darius would want a conversation. The pack would be processing what they had witnessed and someone with authority needed to be visible and calm and in control of the narrative before it wrote itself.Ezra stayed.He leaned against the wall beside me, close enough that his shoulder almost touched mine, and looked at the far end of the corridor with an expression I had learned meant he was thinking through something he had not yet decided to say out loud.I let him think.The cold from the stone walls had settled into my bones somewhere around the time Victor had told me to step back and I had said no, and I was only now beginning to feel it properly. My hands were not entirely steady. I pressed them flat against my thighs and hoped he did not notice.He notic
The Alpha My Sister Wanted Chapter Twenty-Two: The Corridor
He did not let go of my arm until we were three corridors from the hall.Then he did, and the absence of his hand was somehow louder than the noise we had left behind."Are you hurt?" he asked."You already asked me that.""You gave me a very unconvincing answer."I stopped walking.So did he.The corridor was empty, lit by candles burning low in their brackets, the kind of light that made everything look like it was happening at the edge of something. The sounds of the hall were distant now, muffled by stone and closed doors, and out here it was just the two of us and the cold and whatever had been building between us since the night I had walked back through Black Moon Ridge's gates."I am not hurt," I said.Ezra looked at me.Not the controlled, careful look he used in front of other people. The other one. The one I had started noticing and wished I could stop noticing because it made it considerably harder to think clearly."Victor is going to come for you," he said."I know.""No
The Alpha My Sister Wanted Chapter Twenty-One: What the Pack Saw
Nobody moved.That was the first thing.A hall full of wolves, pack-bonded and ceremony-primed and standing in the presence of something none of them had words for yet, and not one of them moved.Then Victor did.He crossed the dais in three steps and placed himself between me and the stone with the controlled precision of a man who had been managing disasters quietly his entire life. His back was to the pack. His voice, when it came, was low enough that only those nearest the front would hear it."Step back, Aurora."My wolf did not even flinch.Neither did I."Step back," he said again. Still quiet. Still controlled. The voice that had always worked before, the one that carried the weight of seventeen years of being obeyed without question."No," I said.The word came out steadier than I expected.Victor's eyes moved over my face with the particular attention of someone recalculating.Behind him, the stone was still glowing.Not bright. Not violent. Just that deep, steady silver lig
The Alpha My Sister Wanted Chapter Twenty: The Presentation Begins
The full moon rose before the ceremony did.I felt it before I saw it, the way I had started feeling most things since the ridge. A pressure behind my sternum, low and steady, like the tide pulling at something it had always known was there.My wolf had been restless all day.Not frightened.Hungry.The main hall had been arranged for the presentation. I had not seen it like this before, the long tables pushed back against the walls, the floor cleared, the old stone dais at the far end lit by candles arranged in the crescent formation I now recognised from the carved markers on the ridge. Black Moon Ridge did not do ceremony lightly. Everything here meant something. Everything here was old.I stood near the back of the gathered pack with Luca two steps to my left and tried to make myself small.It had always been easy before.Tonight it was not working.The pack pressed around me, familiar faces I had been slowly learning again since my return, and I felt their energy running high and
