Allissa

Lyle wouldn’t let anyone else carry her.

Ivan had offered twice, but both times Lyle growled and tightened his hold on Dayanara. After that, none of us asked again.

Her head rested against his shoulder, and her arms hung limply against him. If I hadn’t watched her collapse, I might have thought she was sleeping. But she hadn’t moved. She hadn’t even opened her eyes.

“Where are we going, Hollis?” Darren asked. “Is there somewhere nearby that can help her?”

“East.” Hollis pointed toward t

    AllissaLyle wouldn’t let anyone else carry her.Ivan had offered twice, but both times Lyle growled and tightened his hold on Dayanara. After that, none of us asked again.Her head rested against his shoulder, and her arms hung limply against him. If I hadn’t watched her collapse, I might have thought she was sleeping. But she hadn’t moved. She hadn’t even opened her eyes.“Where are we going, Hollis?” Darren asked. “Is there somewhere nearby that can help her?”“East.” Hollis pointed toward the trees on the far slope. “There’s an elven settlement in the valley.”“Elves.” Finn frowned. “They hate my kind.”“Most people hate your kind.” Hollis glanced back at him. “These elves aren’t particularly fond of anyone, but their healers are among the best. Unless you have another suggestion?”Finn pressed his lips together and kept walking.I would have laughed if I hadn’t been so worried.We left the road and followed Hollis through the trees. Ivan stayed beside Lyle, close enough to help i

  • A Luna for the Lycan King   Chapter 211

    AllissaTwo men came into the village like they owned the dirt under it.They were big enough to matter in a small place. Leather, bad attitudes, and a swagger that said they had done this a hundred times and nobody had ever told them no.I knew the type before either of them opened his mouth. Every one has seen one. A bully who found a bigger stick.They walked straight to our table, because we were the strangers. Strangers mean coin.The bigger one planted himself in front of Finn and crossed his arms.“Road tax,” he said. “Everyone who eats in this village pays it. You eat, you pay.”Finn looked up at him. Just looked, the way a cat looks at a thing it hasn’t decided is worth standing up for.Then he chuckled, low, and turned back to his drink.The man’s face went red. “I don’t think you heard me.”“We heard you,” Darren said, not even turning around.“Then pay.” He looked around the table at all of us, counting coin in his head, getting bolder. “All of you. Now.”Nobody moved. Nob

    AllissaIn the morning I stood at the edge of camp and looked back the way we had come.The cave was still there. A low black mouth in the hillside, breathing out that faint blue-green glow even in the daylight.Damien had walked through that. My relative. My however-many-greats grandfather, give or take a thousand years and a whole lot of watered-down blood.He went into the dark with his own fire eating him alive, and he came back out the other side with a plan carved into the rock. Alone. Nobody holding a lamp for him.Why did he carve the runes there? Was it like a diary?I pressed a hand flat to my chest, over the quiet. The flame sat there, same as it had since I touched his words. Calm. I kept waiting for it to turn on me, and it just … didn’t.Darren's arms came around my waist from behind. I had felt him coming. That warm hum that gets two steps ahead of his hands. Then his chest against my back. Cinnamon and heat … him.“Everything okay?” His chin settled on top of my head.

    Chapter 34AllissaWe lost them somewhere in the dark. I could not have told you where. One moment, the tunnel at our backs was a dry thunder of bodies, and the next, it was only the two of us breathing. We slowed, and then we stopped making any sound at all. We felt our way forward through the pale undergrowth of the deep places with our hands out ahead of us. Even with our beasts, it was tough to see down here.“I think we lost them,” Darren breathed against my ear.The next bend was not fully dark down there, which was its own strange mercy. The walls carried a faint light of their own. Old marks, cut deep into the stone and filled with something that still glowed after who knew how many years. A dull blue-green, like the last light in a banked hearth. Runes. Rows of them marked the rocks on either side of us. Most had gone quiet and cold.I was halfway past one when it woke. A single mark, low on the wall. It pulsed as I drew even with it, a slow beat of that blue-green light, as

    AllissaFinn flicked a fleck of black off his cheek and considered the carcass. “Well,” he said. “We just killed dinner.”Ivan, still a bear, swung his head around and made a low, unhappy sound.“Fire salamander,” Finn went on, cheerful now, as if the smell were not trying to climb down all our throats. “Good eating, if you boil it three times over, throw out the first two pots, and you do not mind that the third still tastes like a chimney swept it.” He looked it over one more time. “Okay … nobody is going to eat that.”“Nobody is going to eat that,” Dayanara agreed from the back, flat as a plank.That was when the ceiling answered.

    Allissa“He took my coin and gave me riddles. That is what has me sour.” Finn had been chewing on it since we broke camp, and from the look of him he meant to keep chewing the whole day. “A whole purse, Allissa. Handed to a toothless old man who looked me in the eye and told me the door was south. South. The fire strapped to your ribs tells me that much, and it has never once asked me for payment.”Hollis laughed. It was not a warm sound. Nothing about Hollis ever was. “He knew more than south.”“Then why did he not say it?”“Because he is not a fool, vampire. You walked into his shop smelling like people who mean to find the one door the rest of the world bled to seal shut.” She trotted ahead of us, light over the loose rock, as though it could not touch her feet. “Of course he knew. He was simply never going to tell you. We cannot lose our door. It is the last one standing. He does not know what you mean to do with it, and a door you cannot vouch for is a door you keep quiet.
