Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance) The Missing Heir
POV: Finn | London streets, RookeriesI run until the townhouse is not visible anymore, which takes three turns and approximately two minutes at the speed I run, which is fast because running fast is one of the things my body has always done easily in the way that some things are easy before you have been taught them and which just are, and then I slow to the pace of someone who has stopped running from something and who is now simply walking in a direction.The direction is not specific. This is the first time I have been in London without a specific direction and the first time I have been in London without an adult, and the two things together produce a quality in the streets that the streets did not have before, which is the quality of somewhere that is very large and which does not particularly care that I am in it, the specific quality of a city's indifference to any individual person moving through it.I know the Rookeries because I have been in it for ten days and I have been
Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance) Brothers Divided Again
POV: Callum | Brennan townhouse, KensingtonThe townhouse is the location Cormac suggested for the conversation, which is the choice of someone who understands that certain conversations need to happen in neutral territory and who selected the place that belongs to both of them rather than to either of them specifically, the family home rather than the Rookeries operational building or the True Pack's East End location, and the selection tells me something about how Cormac is thinking about this, which is as a brothers' conversation rather than as a political confrontation, and the telling is useful even though what I am feeling does not fully accommodate the distinction.Moira and Finn are here. This is not what I expected and it is also not something I am going to address before the conversation that needs to happen, because addressing it would produce a detour and the conversation does not have room for detours.Finn is in the corner of the sitting room with a book, which is the po
Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance) Isla's Burden
POV: Isla | The Shelter, medical wingThe shelter at five years of operation has the quality that things have when they have been running for a long time on resources that were always insufficient and which have been supplemented through the accumulated ingenuity of the people running them, the specific quality of something that has been maintained through commitment rather than through adequate provision, and which shows this in the specific texture of its operation, the systems that work and the systems that are being held together by the specific equivalent of good intentions and late nights.Fifteen hybrid children, which is the number that has remained stable for the past two years because the children who came out of Fell's facilities have mostly stabilized in the shelter and because no new children have arrived from new facilities, the Hermetic Order's program having ended with Fell, the research distributed but not yet reconstituted into an operational program. The fifteen are
Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance) Lucia's Concern
POV: Lucia | The Shelter, RookeriesI am five years old and I understand more than adults think I understand, which is a thing I have known for approximately two years and which I have not told most adults because telling adults that you understand more than they think produces a specific response in adults that is not useful, which is that they become more careful about what they say around you and therefore you understand less, which is the opposite of what I want.What I understand right now is that the adults are frightened and that the frightened quality is different from the frightened quality they had five years ago, which I do not remember but which Isla has described to me and which has the quality of something I know the shape of from the stories even if I do not know it from experience. The current frightened quality is quieter and more internal, the frightened quality of people who have built something and who are watching it be threatened rather than the frightened qualit
Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance) The Split
POV: Callum | Rookeries and East EndThe hearing adjourns without a decision, which is the Parliamentary version of a decision, the specific outcome of a proceeding that has produced information the institution needs time to process before it can render a verdict it can defend, and the adjournment gives everyone three weeks and the three weeks give the traditionalist faction time to do what traditionalist factions do when the formal process is not moving at the speed they require, which is to move outside it.I knew the split was coming. This is not hindsight. I have been tracking the numbers for six months and the eighty wolves who identify with the traditionalist position have been organizing in ways that the Rookeries community network makes visible if you know how to read it, and I have been reading it, and the reading told me this was coming regardless of what happened in the chamber.What I did not know is how fast it would come, which is within forty-eight hours of the hearing'
Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance) A Child's Testimony
POV: Finn | Parliament chamber, witness positionThe Parliament chamber is the largest indoor space I have been in and it has the specific quality of places that were built to make the people inside them feel small, which is a thing I have been reading about in history books and which I now understand not as a description but as a physical experience, the ceiling very far above and the seats arranged in a shape that puts the person at the center of it in the specific position of being looked at from all directions simultaneously.I am at the center of it.There are twelve vampires in the elevated arc above me and they are all very old in the way that very old things are old, which is not the way that grandparents are old but the way that the hills behind our house in Scotland are old, the quality of something that has been in its position for so long that it has become part of the landscape rather than a thing moving through it, and the twelve of them looking at me produces a quality
Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance) Two Old Acquaintances
POV: Callum | The Feral Den, planning roomsThe maps take up two full tables pushed together and they cover London in the specific way military planning covers a city, which is as a series of defensible positions and access routes and choke points and vulnerabilities, and I have been looking at the
Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance) The Battle of Piacere
POV: Callum | London, receiving reportsThe battle is in Scotland and I am watching it through Tom's network, which means I am watching it through a sequence of messages arriving at twenty-minute intervals from contacts positioned at enough remove from the actual fighting to be safe and close enoug
Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance) The Forged Bills
POV: Callum | The Rookeries, then emergency meetingThe counterfeiting is discovered on a Tuesday, which is the day Tom's financial contact in the supernatural banking network calls in a voice that has the specific flat quality of someone who has been calm about an emergency for as long as they can
Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance) The New Cut
POV: Callum | Rookeries, various locationsI find out about the foreclosures from a woman named Bea who runs the laundry on the Rookeries' main street and who has been running it from the same building for eleven years, which means she was there before the war and before my father died and before a
