All Chapters of Alpha's Caged Mate: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

“The rogues?” Liam asked, his eyebrows drawing together in concern. “What do you know about the rogues, Ava?”“For one, I know that rogue is a subjective term,” she started.“Ava….”“No, don’t Ava me,” she bit out through clenched teeth. “You said we would do this my way, Xavier. And the first step to that is acknowledging that the Council’s rogues don’t exist.”Xavier turned to the other males and opened his mouth again, most likely to reinterpret her words, but a hand from Liam gave him pause. The Silver Moon Alpha stared at her intently, his normally intense dark eyes, practically boring holes straight through to her soul, peeling back the layers as if to spot the first sign of deceit at its inception.“Can you please explain what you mean?”Ava swallowed but nodded. “Of course,” she began. “The Council brands anyone who works outside of them or against them a rogue, right? And because cases like that happen so rarely, and the consequences for being branded a rogue are so severe, j

The tunnel leading into the Eclipse was long, nearly a full mile out from the compound, but the two made quick work of it, even with the careful pace they’d set. There was no light in the darkness, so Ava kept her eyes fixed on Xavier’s back as he led her through the darkness. It was an unwelcome but unsurprising realization that her night vision wasn’t nearly as good as it had been while she’d been locked up, much less before her arrest. Where she should have been able to see in this cave almost as well as she would have in stark daylight, she’d wager that her sight was only slightly above a human’s.Ava probably wouldn’t have realized that Mia’s blindness had affected her vision at all if it weren’t for how oppressively dark this cave was. As long as there was some source of light around, even if it was just the light of the moon, her own naturally heightened vision was enough to make up for Mia’s inability to see at all. Now, though, she had to keep her eyes locked on Xavier’s bac

“You have a lot of fucking nerve showing up here,” she heard Rhys snap the moment the office door closed behind them.Luckily, the office shared a wall with the closet she’d hidden in, making it easy for her to overhear their conversation. She pressed an ear against the wall and listened. “Do I? And here I thought I belonged here. After all, my father grew up here, same as you, and our forefathers before them,” Noah said. “Hell, I was even born here.”Rhys growled, “Make no mistake, you were born outside the gates like the mongrel you are.”She couldn’t see him, but she could only imagine the derisive look on Noah’s face. It was the same one he got whenever he talked about the Council or his father.“Never been one to hold your emotions close to your chest, have you, Rhys?”“Don’t you presume to know the first thing about me.”“I don’t need to know you, brother,” Noah replied. “I know that you’re sitting on something that belongs to me. And I have designs to get it back.”She heard R

For a place Ava had been convinced she would never see again only a few months ago, the flashing neon of the Green Light Club was becoming an all too familiar staple in her life as of recent. And yet here she was, sitting in the passenger seat of Noah’s car as he pulled into the club’s private parking lot.She clenched his hand tight in hers, just as she had for most of the trip down to Rochester, doggedly attempting to take even the most minute portion of Noah’s tension into herself. Thankfully, it hadn’t taken much more to convince Noah to hear her out – the revelation about his stolen birthright and his family’s many, many crimes had all but sealed the deal by providing the irrefutable evidence they’d need to force the Council into acknowledging Noah’s stake.Even so, after her reassurances that the Alphas were as interested in an even playing field as he was, he was still reticent about their meeting. And, as much as Ava hated to admit it, he was probably right to be hesitant. Af

Xavier shared a brief, steadying look with his father before turning to silently gesture to the team of trained guards trailing behind them. On his signal, they would storm Victor Brown’s home and collect him for his due trial at the Town Hall.This wasn’t going to go down like it had when Ava had been arrested. Victor’s trial was going to be methodical and fair, and Xavier’s ruling would be based on truth and proven fact, not Pack Law alone. There would almost certainly be pushback with the devastating allegations being brought forth against their Pack’s trusted vizier, but this time, he’d be ready for it.What he was less certain of was what to expect when Ava finally set foot back in Red Moon territory. He’d already briefed his own security detail to expect her arrival and to treat her as a respected guest for the duration of the trial. That was easy enough; they were on his payroll. As for the rest of the Pack…if things weren’t handled carefully, Xavier could have a public riot on
