Chapter 76CHRISTIANA"I'm not threatening you," Dominic said. "I'm telling you what I will not tolerate."The corridor was very quiet now, every onlooker absolutely still, watching two Alphas measure each other with their voices instead of their hands, which was somehow more frightening than if they had simply fought.Antonio's arm was still around me."I want you both to leave the territory," he said. "Now. Today. You will return only when summoned for coalition business that requires your presence, and not before." He looked at Annalisa for the first time since he had told her to stay out of it, and his expression was hard in a way that did not look entirely like him, though I was the only person in that corridor who might have known to wonder why. "And you will not attend my mating ceremony. Either of you.""Antonio," Annalisa said, "the test failed to disprove anything. It confirmed something is in your system that you cannot fully explain, and instead of asking why, you are stan

Chapter 75CHRISTIANAThe chamber doors opened and I walked out into the corridor with my chin level and my steps even.I did not smile.That was the discipline of it. I wanted to smile. Some part of me wanted to throw my head back the moment we were clear of the council's eyes and let out everything I had been holding since Annalisa stood up and said yes to a question that should have ended with no. But smiling would have been careless, and careless was the one thing I could not afford today, not with this many eyes still on me in a corridor full of advisors and staff and council aides moving between rooms.I let myself feel it instead. Quietly. Underneath.It had worked exactly the way I built it to work.Three days before the hearing, I had gone to Antonio's private medication shelf with steady hands and added just enough of the compound to the remaining doses to make sure that any test, controlled or not, supervised or not, would find exactly what it needed to find. Clean source.

Chapter 74ANNALISA She was looking at the table, at her own hands, with the composed stillness I had noted before the test, and I understood now, watching her in this specific moment, that the stillness was not confidence. It was control. The particular effort of someone holding a very carefully built structure together and watching it begin to do exactly what they had designed it to do, and not allowing themselves a single visible flicker of relief in case the room was watching for it.I filed that observation away with the rest.Councilor Brask let the murmur in the room settle before she spoke again, and when she did, her voice carried the particular gravity of someone about to ask the question that the entire morning had been building toward."Dr. Voss," she said. "The council has now heard testimony establishing a legitimate medical explanation for the compound you identified, corroborated by an independent laboratory test conducted under this council's own direct observation.
Too Late To Love: I'm Gone Alpha Chapter 73
Chapter 73ANNALISACouncilor Brask read the result before she said anything aloud, and I watched her face for the half second it took her to process it, the small shift of her eyebrows that told me what the document said before she gave the room the words."The independent laboratory confirms the presence of the compound previously identified by Dr. Voss," she said. "Same profile. Comparable concentration to the original samples." She looked up. "This sample was drawn following a controlled administration of only the documented prescribed medication, under direct observation of this council, with no other substance introduced."The room reacted before she finished the sentence.Aldren was on his feet immediately, the particular swiftness of a man who had been waiting for exactly this outcome and had his response already assembled before the chair had finished speaking."This settles the matter," he said. "The council has just witnessed, under its own controlled conditions, that Alpha

Chapter 72ANNALISA"I don't know," I said. "I can't prove anything right now beyond what my own clinical instinct is telling me, and clinical instinct is not evidence." I kept my voice very low. "But if she had access to that bottle before today, even briefly, and added something to the remaining doses rather than to a single isolated administration, then any test on that medication, controlled or not, would produce exactly what she wants it to produce. The compound would be present in the documented medication because she put it there. Not because the medication caused it naturally. Because she made sure it would."Dominic was quiet for a long moment."That's a serious accusation to be unable to prove," he said."I know," I said."How would she have gotten access," he said. "Who handles the medication between dispensing and use."I thought about Reyes's earlier concern, the household staff, the supply chain he had been quietly watching since the

Chapter 71ANNALISAThe council called a recess to prepare the test.Two members of the chamber's independent medical staff arrived within ten minutes, a man and a woman in plain clinical attire who had clearly been on standby for exactly this possibility, and they set up at a small table positioned at the front of the room where everyone could see what was happening without anyone being able to claim afterward that the process had been obscured.Dr. Maren's sealed bottle was placed on the table.Councilor Petra herself broke the seal, which I noted as a careful procedural choice, removing any possibility that the medication's chain of custody could later be questioned. She counted out the dose with the precision of someone who had clearly done this kind of verification before, confirmed it against the prescribing documentation, and held it up for the room to see before placing it in a small dish."Alpha Greenwood," she said. "Confirm this is your stand

Chapter 48CHRISTIANAHe still looked. But the edge had gone out of it, the desperate quality, the barely managed longing of a man trying to appear neutral and failing. He looked at her the way he looked at the other doctors now, with professional attention rather than the other kind.I felt the di

Chapter 47 CHRISTIANA The vial sat in the back of my wardrobe for two days before I used it. I had not planned to wait that long. When I came back from the outer edges of the territory that night, with the glass warm in my coat pocket and the witch's voice still sitting in the back of my head, I
