The treeline did not move.

Neither did Ezra.

He stood between me and the dark edge of the clearing with his shoulders set and his wolf so close to the surface I could feel it pressing outward from him like heat from a fire, and for a long suspended moment the only sounds were the mist settling between the stones and my own breathing and the low certain awareness that something out there was measuring us.

Then it was gone.

Not dramatically. No sound of retreat, no crashing through undergrowth. J

  • The Alpha My Sister Wanted   Chapter Forty: What He Wrote

    The handwriting was nothing like the letter that had arrived through the eastern gate patrol.That one had been elegant, formal, the careful script of someone writing on behalf of an institution. This was different. Smaller, slightly uneven, the handwriting of a man who wrote quickly because his thoughts moved faster than his pen and had never quite bothered to correct that.It felt personal in a way the other letter had not.It felt like a person rather than a pack.I read it slowly.Aurora.I do not know what they have told you about me. I do not know what you have been told about your mother, about Moonfall, about the night you were taken from us. I h

  • The Alpha My Sister Wanted   Chapter Thirty-Nine: What He Slipped Into My Hand

    They put Caelan in the east wing.Third door from the end, the room with the narrow window that looked out over the old kitchen garden rather than the main grounds. I noticed that deliberateness immediately. Victor had chosen a room with a limited view on purpose, the same way he chose everything on purpose, managing information and sightlines the way other people managed conversations.Caelan had looked at the room without comment.That told me he had noticed too.The morning stretched into afternoon with the particular tension of a house holding its breath. Pack wolves who would normally move freely through the corridors slowed near the east wing and then corrected themselves and moved on, pretending they had not slowed at all. Conversations stopped when I entered room

  • The Alpha My Sister Wanted   Chapter Thirty-Eight: What He Could Not Say

    Ezra did not sit down.That was the first thing I noticed. He stood at the entrance to the garden with his arms loose at his sides and his wolf visible in the particular set of his shoulders, not threatening, not aggressive, but present in a way that communicated clearly that he was not here as a bystander.Caelan noticed too.He sat back slightly, a small adjustment, the kind of recalibration that said he was reassessing how much to say in front of someone whose position in this situation he had not fully mapped yet."Ezra Blackthorn," I said. "Heir to Black Moon Ridge."Caelan looked at Ezra with those careful eyes."I know who he is," he said quietly.

  • The Alpha My Sister Wanted   Chapter Thirty-Seven: What Caelan Knew

    Victor had not appeared yet.That would not last.I understood that the way I understood most things about Victor now, not through evidence but through the particular certainty that had been building in me since the ridge, since the stone, since the pendant had warmed in my hand and my wolf had stopped pretending she did not know things my mind had not caught up to yet.He was in there somewhere, preparing.Which meant whatever time I had with Caelan before this became a managed situation was limited and shrinking.I steered him away from the main path, toward the east garden where the old stone benches sat between overgrown hedges that had not been properly tended since before I left. Nobody came here. It was the kind of place that existed in pack houses everywhere, quietly forgotten, which made it useful.Caelan followed without comment.He moved differently from the wolves I had grown up around. Quieter. More economical. Every step placed with the particular awareness of someone wh

  • The Alpha My Sister Wanted   Chapter Thirty-Six: The One Who Came

    They found him at the eastern gate just before noon.Luca brought me the news the way Luca always brought things he considered significant, quietly, without drama, appearing at my shoulder in the corridor outside the dining hall with his voice low and his eyes already doing the work of telling me this was not ordinary before his words caught up."Someone is at the gate," he said. "Alone. On foot. He asked for the daughter of Liora Ashvane by name."I stopped walking."Not Aurora Vale," I said."Not Aurora Vale," Luca confirmed. "Liora Ashvane's daughter. Those exact words."Nobody in Black Moon Ridge used my mother's birth name. Nobody outside of a sealed file in the archive and a letter that had arrived in the dark and the old transfer record I had read by lamplight in a room I was not supposed to be in.Nobody except someone who already knew."Where is he now," I asked."The gate wolves have him contained. Darius has been informed. Victor has also been informed, which is the more pr

    The treeline did not move.Neither did Ezra.He stood between me and the dark edge of the clearing with his shoulders set and his wolf so close to the surface I could feel it pressing outward from him like heat from a fire, and for a long suspended moment the only sounds were the mist settling between the stones and my own breathing and the low certain awareness that something out there was measuring us.Then it was gone.Not dramatically. No sound of retreat, no crashing through undergrowth. Just the particular absence that follows a presence, the way a room feels different after someone has left it even before you consciously register they are no longer there.Ezra did not relax."Stay behind me," he said quietly."What was it.""I do not know yet."He moved toward the treeline slowly, the way wolves move when they are tracking something they do not want to startle, and I stayed close behind him even though every instinct I had said whatever had been there was already gone.He stopp
