Unmatched Wife: Not His To Claim Anymore Chapter 276
Chapter 276BIANCAThe summit hall in Ashford territory was the kind of room built for exactly this purpose — high ceilings, long tables, enough space between clusters of people that conversations could happen without overlapping into each other. Five months had passed since the breach. Five months of slow rebuilding, careful work, learning how to live inside a life I'd chosen on purpose rather than one I'd fallen into by accident.Rivera had his hand at the small of my back as we came through the entrance, steady, the kind of touch that had become ordinary between us rather than something either of us was still proving to the other. Louis walked just ahead of us, taller than he'd been in the spring, color back in his face the way it had been since his treatment started actually working instead of secretly being undone by someone pretending to love him."You don't have to come tonight," Rivera had said to me that morning, more than once over the past week, actually. "I know who's like

Chapter 275MATTHEWI waited until that night, after Cal's bag had been moved back upstairs and Theo had eaten something close to a full dinner for the first time since the rescue, before I brought it up. I'd been turning the conversation over since the hallway, trying to find the right shape for it, the kind of shape that wouldn't undo whatever fragile steadiness he'd built back since the corridor and the bird and everything else he'd carried through that night without telling anyone.I found him in his room, sitting cross-legged on the floor with the dinosaurs arranged in some new configuration I didn't have the vocabulary to interpret, the bird's small empty shoebox nest sitting empty in the corner now that it had been well enough, days ago, to be released back into the garden."Hey, bud," I said, sitting down on the floor across from him, which still felt strange in my joints but had become a habit I didn't want to break."Hey," he said, not looking up from the Triceratops he was

Chapter 274THEOCal had his bag packed by the front door.I saw it before anyone told me anything, the way I usually saw things before people decided I was ready to know them. It was sitting by the door the way bags sit when someone is leaving, not the way bags sit when someone is going somewhere for a few days and coming back. I knew the difference. I'd watched enough bags get packed in my life to know which kind this was.I went and found Dad in the kitchen."Cal's bag is by the door," I said.Dad looked up from whatever he was doing at the counter, and I saw the specific expression on his face that meant he'd been hoping to have this conversation later, on his own terms, instead of right now because I'd noticed a bag."His contract was for protection during the active threat," Dad said carefully. "Voss is gone. Thorne's in custody. The immediate danger has passed, buddy. That's the job he was hired to do, and he did it. A really, really good job.""So he's just leaving.""He's not

Chapter 273BIANCARivera told me on the fourth day, in the quiet of his study, the way you tell someone something you've been holding carefully because you weren't sure yet how much weight it would land with."She didn't survive the breach," he said. "The construct started unraveling the moment Voss's control over the facility broke down. Whatever was holding her together wasn't separate from Voss. It needed her."I sat with that for a while before I said anything. He waited, patient, the way he'd learned to be patient with me over the past several days, never rushing past a silence before I was ready to come out of it."I want to ask you something," I said eventually, "and I want you to answer honestly, even if it's hard to hear.""Always.""Did she suffer. At the end."He shook his head slowly. "From what we understand, no. It wasn't violent. It was more like — the structure just stopped being held up. Roy described it as closer to a candle going out than anything else. I don't thi
Unmatched Wife: Not His To Claim Anymore Chapter 272
Chapter 272RIVERAThorne arrived under guard two hours after Matthew's people picked him up at the territory line, delivered to us because he belonged to our jurisdiction in the end — his crimes had started here, in my city, inside my own office, long before they'd reached out to touch Matthew's life at all. Matthew hadn't argued the handoff. He'd simply said, when his man brought him in, that I deserved to be the one to close the book on the person who'd lived inside my staff for years pretending to serve me.I watched him processed through the formal channels myself. I'd told Klaus's people, back at the breach site, that I wanted this clean enough nobody could ever argue the conviction afterward, and I meant it more now, standing in the holding facility watching Thorne sit in a chair with his hands restrained, calm in the specific way of a man who'd run out of moves and had decided composure was the only thing left he could still choose for himself.I didn't go in to question him m

Chapter 271THORNEI knew it was over before the first radio call came through. I'd built my whole career on knowing things before they were confirmed, and the silence from the facility two hours after the breach started told me everything the silence was designed to tell me.I left the office without taking anything that mattered. That was the first rule, the one I'd kept ready in my head for years without ever expecting to need it. Don't pack. Packing takes time and time is the only currency that matters once something like this goes wrong. I took my car, the older one, registered under a name that didn't connect to anything, and I drove toward the territory line with the radio off and my hands steady on the wheel, telling myself the whole way that steady hands were a habit, not a lie I was telling my own body.I'd planned this exit for years. Not because I'd expected Voss to fail — I hadn't, not really, not until the last few months when the timeline started compressing and her pat

Chapter 98BIANCA"Because Rivera asked us not to," Klaus said simply. "He wanted you to get settled, to build a life here, without the pressure of knowing you were under direct Alpha King protection. He thought it might make you feel obligated or restricted."That sounded like Rivera. Protecting m

Chapter 103 BIANCA "Later, Lucian." I looked at him, seeing the fear in his eyes but unable to comfort it right now. "I just—I need time. To process all of this. To figure out what it means. To decide what I want to do."He nodded, looking like he wanted to say more but recognizing I'd reached my

Chapter 93BIANCAThe morning sun was warm on my face as I watched Louis make his way across the monkey bars at Greenbrook Garden Park, his small tongue poking out in fierce concentration."Louis, be careful," I called from my spot below him, my hands hovering near his waist in case he slipped. "Yo

Chapter 96BIANCAI stared at the screen, my heart rate immediately kicking up.Vera.The last time I'd met with Vera, I'd snuck out without telling Rivera where I was going. We'd argued about it afterward—a real fight that had ended with both of us acknowledging I couldn't keep running off to meet
