LOGINThen I see something I wasn’t expecting to see today: the Alpha Prince and his brother arriving for the show.I reach over to get Sebastian’s attention, pointing to the werewolves we weren’t expecting. Sebastian curses, then looks up at the scarf wrapped around the lower half of my face, just like i
NatashaI try to relax into the trunk of the tree, but it’s hard to truly relax when I’m on a branch high up enough that a fall could kill me.“You have to sleep, Natasha. If you’re too tired to keep your eyes open tomorrow, you’re useless to us.”“I know,” I snap at Sebastian’s harsh words.This wi
Sebastian leads me to the left with a gentle hand on my hip.The six of us spread out in pairs, still able to see each other as we hide behind trees. Once we’re all in place, we peek around our trees to the horrific sight ahead.The lone werewolf sits on the ground with his back to us. Two humans li
NatashaI’m already in my training gear, so I use the time that Marion and Sebastian take to argue over whether or not I’m joining him to braid back my hair in a French braid. It takes much less time than it used to since it’s so short now.It’s Sebastian saying, “Please don’t make her prove she can

OwenFather ushers Diego in, asking if he needs us to call for the doctor. He shakes his head, looking between us. “I came to debrief you on my meeting with the Sun Warriors, but I can come back if—”“No, no,” Father cuts him off, closing the door to his office and motioning us over to the conferenc
AmeliaMy mouth drops open at Diego’s words. “What?”He smiles, but it’s not the smirk I’m used to seeing or the flirty half-smile. There’s a softness to it that makes me think of Isaiah.“He recognized you,” Diego says. “Sebastian. During the negotiation.”I remember the way the Sun Warrior studied
OwenI’ve only just dismounted from my horse by the front doors of the palace when an Omega finds me.“Your Highness,” the Omega curtsies as I hand the reigns of the horse over to a stableboy.“What is it?” What possible fire do I have to put out now?“The Alpha King requests your presence,” she say
OwenMy first thought is for Amelia. That she has come back for help after being attacked or that an Omega has discovered her immobilized in the hallway.
