Eryn’s POV

There was not much activity in the archive halls.

Not unusual.

They were always quiet.

Knowledge preferred silence.

History preferred patience.

The long corridors were formed beneath the mountain, each with shelves and stones. The thin beams of sunlight shimmered in the dust which floated in the air.

Old books.

Old records.

Old truths.

Some preserved.

Some hidden.

There were a few almost lost forever.

I was alone at one of the central tables, with a stack of official documents neatly

  • The Alpha's Rejected Mate    Chapter 147

    AvaDawn slowly settled across Valley Creek.The mountain was covered in snow, and it seemed to be a peaceful night. The storm was over by sunrise. A breezy wind was blowing through the trees.The room was very quiet.Nearly everyone had returned to work or to bed for a good sleep.The entire world seemed silent for the first time after the beginning of labor.I sat by the window while Sena was sleeping in my arms.She was snuggled tightly into a warm blanket, her little face on my chest. She made little noises from time to time and fell silent once more.I just couldn't stop looking at her.I had been dreaming of this day for months.I had thought about holding her.Seeing her.Hearing her cry.None of my thoughts had gotten me ready for how real she was.She was not a probability anymore.She wasn't a future I was looking forward to.She was here.My daughter.I brushed my finger across hers, whose hand was so small.Her fingers gripped mine while I slept.I had a smile before I kne

    MilracThere was still snow falling outside the medical wing.The storm was now settling down.Gentler.Although the wind was blowing through the mountain, the world seemed different.Smaller.Softer.As though all the world outside this room had withdrawn from reality for a while.The healers were invited in, but they quietly came in and out.Their work was finished.They spoke quietly before they all went away.There was silence for the first time in hours.Real silence.I sat by Ava's bed with our daughter in my arms.I had held weapons.Led armies.Ruled a clan.Confronted opponents who were as old as many kingdoms.With all of that, none had prepared me for this.She was ridiculously tiny.She placed one of her little hands on my finger.Her fingers couldn't even fit around it.But somehow she managed to cling on with great strength.I stared at her for as long as I could stand it.Perhaps it was just a few minutes.Time was not making any sense any longer.Ava's quiet amusement

    AvaTime didn't matter any more.Breaths were now contractions.The storm was still raging somewhere outside the walls of the medical wing, but I barely heard it now.Everything had narrowed.The room.The voices.The constant hands of the healers.The loving hug, warmth and kind feelings that had been all around our child for months.All things were contained in one single moment that never ended.I breathed slowly.Then again.A quiet voice came near to me.I could hear the voice but not the words.The bond came before my ears.Milrac.He was still by my side.He had never left.Not once.He had been exactly where I needed him from the beginning of labor until this day.Occasionally, holding hands.Occasionally brushing hair off of my face.At times, simply remaining silent.More than words could, the silence did.As another contraction arrived, I tightened my grip on his hand.It was more powerful than the previous one.My whole body was intent on one thing.One purpose.I closed m

    AvaIt was now late winter, and it had fully settled over Valley Creek.The night was cold and still, with snow drifting softly over the mountain. The silence that was typical and would have been considered rest. Stability. Peace.I was reading inside the medical wing.Or at least I was trying to.I found reports on the table in front of me. Routine updates. Clinic follow-ups. Minor changes to dosage charts. Nothing urgent. Nothing unusual.Then it happened.It was no big deal.It was not sudden.Initially it wasn't painful at all.It was just a matter of certainty.And my hand hovered over the pages of the report I was reading.Suddenly, I couldn't breathe anymore.Then I knew.Labor had started.I sat very still.I didn't move for a second.Not because I was afraid,My mind was getting used to the changes.As always, my researcher instincts came first.I didn't record the time like I would have loved to.But I went ahead and registered that feeling.Noted the rhythm.Observed the sh

    MilracThe night was more quiet at the archive.Not silent.This archive was never silent again.Someone was working at all times.There was someone all the time doing research.There was always a new thing to find out.However, once night fell, there was a change of sound.The constant motion reduced.Conversations became quieter.There were fewer and fewer footsteps.The mountain was breathing more slowly.I came in to the conference room just after sunset.There were papers all over the large table in the middle.It wasn't surprising.Petra had been on the scene.Every time Petra was fascinated by something, paper multiplied. She never got tired of working on something she finds fascinating until she gets to the end of it.Kael somehow made the situation worse.They had created hazards in various parts of the archive together.I stepped inside.Ava was already in the area.And so were Petra, Kael, Vessa, and Eryn.There were piles of the papers around them.One wall was taken up wi

    The following morning was as normal.It began in a normal way at least.Half way through the day, the archive was in shambles.I knew it would happen some day.When Petra felt the warmth firsthand, it was inevitable.It was a very busy morning in the archive.Records were transported from shelf to shelf by the researchers.Couriers came in from various territories with new submissions.There was a discussion going on about classification procedures near the records section to the west.Everything felt ordinary.I was going over papers for the clinic when Petra suddenly walked up to me and stood next to my table.That occurred frequently, and I hardly looked up any more."Question."I sighed."Good morning, Petra."Almost noon."Still counts."She ignored that.Also normal.“Did you notice strange activity on the network lately?”I knew right away something was suspicious.Very suspicious.I lowered my pen."What sort of strange behavior?"Petra stared at me.Then narrowed her eyes,Th

    Ava’s povSunset bled across the sky in streaks of crimson and gold as we left the mansion gates. The small escort of six guards rode silently behind us, their horses’ hooves muffled by the forest floor. Milrac and I rode side by side, the bond stretched thin between us like a wire pulled too tight

    Ava’s povThe stranger’s words still hung in the cold dawn air when Milrac’s hand tightened around mine hard enough to bruise. The three cloaked figures stood motionless for one final heartbeat, silver crescent moons glinting on their chests like brands from another age. Then, without another word,

    Ava’s povGrandmother’s laugh followed us up the stairs like smoke you couldn’t clear from a room. We kept walking. Milrac’s hand stayed locked with mine, grip firm, but I felt the tremor in it through the bond. Not fear. Fatigue. The same bone-deep weariness that was settling into my own limbs.We

    Ava’s povThe ten minutes stretched into almost two hours. I woke with Milrac’s arm still locked around my waist, his breathing slow and even against the back of my neck. The bond felt heavier than it had when we lay down, like a rope that had been pulled too tight for too long. My head ached behin
