The Alpha Triplets’ Rejected Omega: Violet Blood Reign Chapter 55: The Rejected One Returns
Ryder's POVThe eastern garden was exactly as I remembered it.I had been here before, eleven years ago when the borders were different and the Iron-Claw Kingdom was still in its first generation of Triplet rule and diplomatic visits between pack leaders had a different quality to them, less formal, more about establishing whether the new rulers were worth taking seriously, and I had walked these paths in a different context with a different purpose and had noted, the way I noted everything, the specific layout of the space and the positions that offered sight lines without exposure.The corner bench near the frozen fountain was one of them, and I had been watching it from the shadow of the east wall for forty minutes before she appeared.She came over the low wall between the garden and the servants' wing path, dropping quietly, landing without sound, and I watched her move across the gravel toward the bench with the careful deliberate movement of someone who had checked for guards a
The Alpha Triplets’ Rejected Omega: Violet Blood Reign Chapter 54: Suggestion
Zephyr's POVThe Sylvan soul had a very specific suggestion about Max and the council and what should happen to both of them before tomorrow morning, and the suggestion involved methods that were illegal in most territories and several that were illegal in all of them.It would solve the problem, it said, with the practical calm it used when it was not accounting for consequences because consequences were someone else's department, quickly and completely."We're not doing that," I said.The document is already at the council. Perryn has it. By morning it's in front of six Elder representatives and the formal session is opened and at that point it becomes a legal matter rather than a palace matter and the window for the kind of solution I'm describing closes."I understand the timeline," I said, "we're still not doing that."You're being sentimental."I'm being legal," I said, "there's a difference."You weren't legal three weeks ago when you broke into the palace archive.I stopped wh
The Alpha Triplets’ Rejected Omega: Violet Blood Reign Chapter 53: Racing the Clock
Cax's POVI started with the employment trail at midnight and by one in the morning I understood that I was looking at something that had been built by someone who understood institutional systems the way I understood them, which was to say completely and from the inside out.Soren was beside me at the desk, which I had not asked for but had not sent away because Soren's second perspective was useful and he had the specific quality of being able to work in silence without making the silence uncomfortable."The first insertion is six months ago," I said, pulling the relevant record and setting it on the left side of the desk, "a guard roster adjustment in the east corridor, small, one name added to a rotation, signed off by a mid-level security administrator."Soren looked at it. "That administrator still works here?""Reassigned to the north wing four months ago." I pulled the next record. "The administrator who approved the reassignment is also still here, different department, and i
The Alpha Triplets’ Rejected Omega: Violet Blood Reign Chapter 52: The Alpha Feels Stupid
Ryker's POVI stood in the corridor outside the lab for eleven minutes and was privately furious at myself.Not visibly, visibly I was standing with my back against the wall and my arms at my sides and my face in its usual arrangement, and Daren was three feet away giving me a situation report in clipped professional sentences that I was absorbing and filing while the fury ran underneath all of it at a temperature I was choosing not to examine directly.I had almost believed it.That was the part I kept returning to, not the document itself and not Max and not the specific mechanics of how a forgery gets into a lab in a palace with our security protocols, all of that was solvable and I was already solving it, but the ninety minutes, the specific ninety minutes between Cax reading the document out loud and Zephyr starting to dismantle it, during which something in my reasoning had treated the document as a real possibility and adjusted my understanding accordingly.I stopped that thoug
The Alpha Triplets’ Rejected Omega: Violet Blood Reign Chapter 51: The Thing About Impossible Documents
Ava's POV"I need an hour," I said, "alone, with the document."Ryker looked at me for a moment with the expression he used when he was deciding whether to agree with something and finding the decision uncomfortable."Ava," he started."One hour," I said, "I'm not going anywhere and I'm not doing anything, I just need to read it without everyone in the room having feelings about it that I can feel through the bond." I looked at him and then at Cax and then at Zephyr. "Please."The please worked on Cax first, which was predictable, and then Zephyr moved toward the door, and then Ryker stood there for another three seconds making the decision visible before he made it."One hour," he said, "Daren's people are in the corridor.""I know."He handed me the document and left, and the others went with him, and the lab door closed and I was alone with the document and the restrained Elara, who I had momentarily forgotten about, and who was sitting against the wall with her wrists secured and
The Alpha Triplets’ Rejected Omega: Violet Blood Reign CHAPTER 50: THE REWARD SYSTEM
MAX’S POVI walked away from the laboratory with my hands tucked into my pockets and my face held in a mask of perfect, quiet concern. The air in the corridor was cooler than the lab, a welcome change from the heat of those pulsing machines and the heavy, crowded tension of the Triplets. Zephyr’s little trap with the archives was clever, I had to give him that, it was the kind of sharp, intuitive move that made me appreciate him as a worthy opponent. He thought he had found a crack in my story, he thought the mention of a fire seven years ago was the end of my move, but he didn't realize that in a game of information, the truth is just another variable you can manipulate.I didn't go to my office. I went to the small, secondary quarters near the servant entrance where the air always smelled of damp stone and cheap tallow candles. Sera was waiting for me. She was leaning against the heavy oak door, her palace courier uniform rumpled and her dark hair falling over one eye in a way that
