Chapter Twenty-Eight: What Vivian Knew

작가: Elizabeth.C
last update 게시일: 2026-06-30 13:48:51

I did not see Vivian again until evening.

She found me in the corridor outside my room, still dressed in the same clothes from that morning, her hair coming loose from its careful arrangement, and there was something different in the way she stood. Less composed. Less performed.

"Can we talk," she said.

I let her into the room.

She did not sit this time. She stood near the window with her arms crossed, looking out at the darkening courtyard, and for a long moment she said nothing at all.

  • The Alpha My Sister Wanted   Chapter Eighty-Five: What Survived

    They let me in just after nine.I had spent the hours before that on a bench in the corridor while an assistant came every half hour to look at the black line and tell me nothing. Ezra had gone out to the boundary with Darius before full light. Luca brought me tea and then sat beside me without talking, which for Luca was the loudest thing available to him.When the door finally opened, it was Vivian who opened it.She had changed out of the coat from the courtyard. Dark clothes she could work in, sleeves fastened, her hair off her face. A ledger lay open on the table with a list in her handwriting, most of the names crossed through."Twenty minutes," she said. "If he wakes, let him lead. Do not tell him anything that will make him try to sit up."I stopped just inside the door, because the room was not what I had spent four hours imagining.Six wolves had given blood before breakfast. Beside four of the names Vivian had written a time to come back. The rota above the basin had been r

    Vivian did not wait for Ezra to answer her in the courtyard."Not here."She looked past us at the wolves pretending they had not heard every word."I am not giving them the details as well." Her gaze returned to me. "But she comes."Maren opened the small room beside the infirmary. Vivian went in first and shut the door.The room smelled of lamp oil and the blood drying on Ezra's clothes and mine. The lamp had burned low enough to stain the glass black.None of us sat.Vivian put her hands behind her back."I have one question," she said. "The rest is pack business."Ezra faced her."Were you ever going to tell me?"He did not ask what she meant."I don't know."Vivian absorbed that without blinking."You don't know.""No.""We both turned eighteen. We both knew we were not mates." Her voice remained level. "We knew what the pack expected. We were going to do it anyway.""Yes.""Say something else."Ezra looked down at the blood hardened across his shirt."I knew the arrangement had

  • The Alpha My Sister Wanted   Chapter Eighty-Three: Everyone Saw

    We came out of the trees an hour before dawn, and the east gate was already lit.That was the first thing I understood. Nobody burns lamps at that gate at that hour unless the pack house has been awake all night.Two guards came down off the wall before we reached the road. They saw Maren, then Ezra behind her, and I watched the relief arrive on both of them.Then they saw the frame.Then they saw me.One turned and went back through the gate at a run without being told to, and I knew that before we crossed the courtyard, every person inside those walls would know what we were carrying.I had imagined coming back through this gate. I had done it a hundred times in my head since I was eleven years old. In none of those versions was I wearing Cassian's blood to the elbow with Ashvane silver tied against my wrist.They came out of the doorways as we crossed the courtyard, in ones and twos, pulling coats on and then stopping where they stood.The healers took Cassian through the infirmary

    By the second bend, Cassian's full weight hung between us.His legs dragged. His head rested against my shoulder, and every few steps his breathing caught in a way I had started counting without meaning to.Ezra had the heavier side. I had the torch, and there was almost nothing left of it.My marked arm kept failing. Twice my hand stopped closing around Cassian's belt, and both times Ezra took the extra weight without comment.We had been underground long enough for dusk to become deep night.Then the air changed.Cold came down the corridor against us, thin and steady, carrying wet soil, pine and the sour smell of leaves rotting under old snow.My wolf pulled hard to the left."There," I said.Ezra stopped. "The passage goes up.""The air doesn't."We lowered Cassian to the floor. The left wall looked like every other stretch of corridor until I put my palm against it and felt the draught coming through a seam behind a curtain of roots.Ezra tore them away in fistfuls. Behind them t

    Blood soaked through the fresh cloth before Ezra finished tightening his belt around Cassian’s ribs.“Again,” I said.Ezra pulled the belt another notch. Cassian’s body shifted beneath our hands, but his face showed no response.That frightened me more than the blood.Ezra had cut a long strip from the lining of his coat and folded it against the wound. I kept both palms over it while he secured the makeshift bandage, trying to hold pressure without thinking about how little stood between Cassian and the stone beneath him.“He needs a healer.”“He needs us to get him to one.”The answer was practical. Immediate. It gave me something to do besides watch Cassian’s chest rise too slowly.The ledge continued into a steep corridor. It was narrow, dry and almost completely dark beyond the reach of our torch.Before we could move him, the black mark beneath my skin tightened.Pain ran from my palm towards my elbow.My hand slipped from Cassian’s side.Ezra caught my wrist without touching th

    “Give me what you took, Aurora.”Victor’s voice crossed the chamber without rising.My body reacted before my mind did.My shoulders drew in. My gaze dropped towards the water. For one sickening moment, I was back in his study, waiting for him to decide whether I had disappointed him enough to deserve punishment.The clasp cut into my palm.I lifted my head.“No.”Victor looked at me as though the answer belonged to someone else.Behind us, water shifted around the Bloodstone wolves. The grey-jawed leader had moved closer to the wall, placing his men where they could reach either Ezra or th
