PREMISE
Odessa Lucy Kade had her normal life flipped upside down immediately when a familiar face asked her to dance at a party she wasn't even supposed to be at, and from that day on, her life has been from one roller coaster to another. But in the midst of all this chaos, she never expected to fall helplessly in love with someone she wasn't supposed to.
Blurb
Odessa Kade loved Evan Sorrel for as long as she can remember. He was her brother's best friend, her trainer, and the cocky boy who called her "little wolf" until she wanted to scream.
Then he took her brother's fated mate, and two families who had been inseparable for decades became sworn enemies.
Six years later, Evan raises a glass at his father's birthday party and offers the Kades everything: a partnership, a seat at the Sorrel table, and her father's old rank restored. The price is Odessa's hand in marriage.
Her family is drowning in debt, her brother won't speak to her, and the man she should hate is the only one who can save them. But Evans family is hiding a big secret, and it's all tied to one person ODESSA

Chapter: The TwinChapter 24: The TwinEvanI read it four times before I let myself breathe.The door has a twin."Silas is dead," my father said. "I felt his thread go out of the world with my own eyes.""Then somebody wants us to think he isn't." I turned the black paper over. The wax seal was broken clean down the middle, the moon cut in half like it had been split with a blade. "Or somebody has been practicing his handwriting.""Who would know about the child?" Josh had come up behind me with Mia, both of them half asleep and fully armed. "You only found out four hours ago. Who else was on that balcony?"Nobody.That was the answer, and it made the back of my neck go cold.Pup. The old wolf was awake, and he wasn't amused. Take that paper to the one who ran from her father. Now.Aurelia didn't need to read it. She took one look at the broken seal and sat down on the kitchen floor like her legs had been cut off."He kept a ledger," she said. "Forty years of it. I used to read it while he slept, bec

Chapter: Chapter 23 Twenty-Seven NightsEvanI counted every one of them.Night one, I sat on the lawn until dawn with my back against the spot where the circle had been, talking out loud like a madman while a thousand wolves pretended not to listen. Night two, Josh dragged me inside and made me eat. Night three, I stopped pretending I was fine.By night nine, I had a routine. I woke at sunset because that was when she was loudest, a warm hum at the back of my skull, like someone humming in the next room. I told her about my day. She told me about hers. The women in the dark had a lot of opinions about everything, and Odessa had become the unwilling arbiter of a four-hundred-year-old argument over whether the first Lunara's stew needed more salt.It does, she said on night fourteen. It really does. I've never been so right about anything.You're eating soup in the void and you're still insufferable.Say that again.You're insufferable.Again.I love you.That's the one.On night nineteen, I stood in my father's study while

Chapter: Chapter 22 The Full MoonOdessaBy the time we reached the Sorrel estate, the whole territory knew.I don't know who told them. Nobody had to. When the roof came off that farmhouse, every wolf with a drop of moon in their blood felt the sky tear open, and by dusk they were walking out of their houses and up the hill road in silence. Packs that hadn't shared a fire in a generation stood shoulder to shoulder on the great lawn. Northern wolves beside Sorrels. Kades beside Hales. Kessa's thirty-one, bandaged and hollow-eyed, standing in a tight knot near the front, and Ines the midwife with her hand on a little girl's shoulder.The girl waved at me. Missing tooth and all.I almost broke right there."Breathe," Evan murmured beside me."I am.""You're not. Do it again."I did. Behind us, the dark that had followed us down the mountain sat low on the northern horizon, patient as a tide.My parents were waiting at the top of the steps. Mom had pulled her hair back and put on a plain grey dress, and she looked like s

Chapter: Chapter 21 The DoorSilasMarian.That was the name he had not said aloud in four hundred years.Silas Sorrel stood in the burning ruin of his brother's son's wedding night and watched the dark above the farmyard open its throat. It had her voice. Gentle. Amused. The voice that once laughed at him across a candlelit table before the Goddess called her to the grey robes and he went to war with heaven.Silas. Love. You took so long.His knees gave out."Marian," he whispered. "You're... you're there. All this time, you were..."Waiting. Yes. The dark leaned closer. You fed me so well, my darling. Every thread you cut, every girl you wound into your little puppets. I tasted each one. I've been so hungry.Something cold slid down his spine."I only wanted to bring you back."And you will. The voice smiled. Just not the way you think.OdessaI have never been so afraid in my entire life, and I had been kidnapped by a woman with mannequins.The dark above the farmyard wasn't empty. It moved, slowly, the way th

Chapter: chapter 20 sister of thread Odessa The circle didn't pull me in. It opened, like a mouth. One moment I was standing in the farmhouse kitchen with Evan's arm locked around my waist. The next, the floor dropped out and the silver came up, and we were falling through a place with no walls, no ceiling, and no sound. Only light, thin and cold, and a thousand glittering threads stretched in every direction like the inside of a loom. I hit something soft. Grass, I thought. Silver grass, tall and pale, rippling in a wind I couldn't feel. "Evan?" No answer. I turned in a full circle. He was gone. The bond, which had been humming in my chest for days like a second pulse, had gone quiet. My heart started to pound. "He's not here," said a voice behind me. "It's only us." I spun. She stood ten feet away in the same grey coat, but the scar down her cheek had faded to a pale line, and the thin silver ring around her pupils shone like a coin. Without the cold mask, she looked younger. Frightened, even. Her hands were

Chapter: Chapter 19 the cageOdessaI woke because Evan's heartbeat changed.One second it was slow and sleepy under my cheek. The next, both of them were hammering, and his whole body had gone rigid beneath me."Don't move," he whispered."What...""The door. She locked us in."I was out of the quilt and across the room before he finished. The knob turned freely in my hand, which should have been a relief. The door swung open on an empty landing, an empty stairwell, a farmhouse that smelled of lavender and dust and something faintly sweet underneath.Something I knew. The smell of the car. The smell of the night I was taken."Evan." My voice came out thin. "The walls."He was at my shoulder. I watched him see it. Threads, hair-fine, silver-dark, running along every beam and board, woven into the plaster, tacked around the window frames like cobweb. The whole house was wrapped in them, humming faintly. Waiting."She spun it while we slept," he said quietly. "While I lay there thinking about you.""Don't.""I shou
