I had spent most of that morning sitting beside my sister's bed, pressing a cold cloth against Cecil's forehead while she slept off the sedatives Mark had given her.
Cecil had screamed herself hoarse the night before, and when she finally collapsed in my arms, I held her like I used to when we were children and thunder shook the nursery windows. We had both lost Diane, but Cecil had always loved her with a ferocity that left no room for anything else.

Beg Me, Alpha: The Plus-Sized Queen's Return The Price of Entry
SebastianThe seer's instructions had been written on three sheets of pale birch bark, and the first line, which I had read so many times that the ink had begun to blur beneath my thumb, ordered me to reach the northern border stones at the exact hour when the moon stood half hidden behind the mountain.I had left Northridge before dawn with Rowan and four of the quietest warriors I owned, telling the pack that I was inspecting the frontier forts and telling Zara that I would be gone for three days on council business. She had kissed my cheek with such sweet relief that I almost pitied how badly she concealed it, and I drove out through the gates with three stolen ledgers still sewn into the lining of my coat.The road ended at the foot of a mountain where the pines gave way to a forest of white birches, so pale and so tightly packed that the whole slope looked like a ghost standing upright.Mist hung between the trunks in slow grey ribbons, and every sound we made seemed to fall into

NeraldaCaroline gave me the guest suite on the third floor without asking a single question, and she stayed only long enough to leave a pot of tea on the nightstand and a blanket folded across the foot of the bed.I sat in the darkness with Caelan sleeping warm against my side and Lucy curled in the armchair, and I listened to the old house settling around us like a ship in a heavy sea.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw my own face reflected in the glass of the nursery window, hollow and furious, and the empty basin of the fountain beyond it.The tea smelled of chamomile and honey, and I could not bring myself to drink a drop.It was the smell that did it, because chamomile and honey had been the scent of every evening in Martha's house, a steaming cup placed at my elbow each night with the same thin smile. She had called it a tonic for nerves, and she had watched me drink every drop with the patience of a woman watching a pot she knew was about to boil.I sat very still with the cu

ElecAndrew found the observer's nest at dawn, a hollow among the rafters of the abandoned barn where someone had lain for hours with a pair of binoculars and a thermos of tea.The tea was still faintly warm when he held his palm against the metal, and the binoculars had been left carefully on a folded handkerchief, as though the owner wanted us to know that leaving had been a choice. There were no fingerprints, no footprints in the mud, and no scent beyond a faint ghost of jasmine that dissolved the moment I breathed it in."Whoever watched Caelan from this roof was not afraid of being caught, and I think they wanted us to find these," Andrew said grimly, holding up the binoculars."Then they want us frightened, and we will not give them that gift," I answered, though my hand shook as I took the lenses from him.I walked back to the main house through the grey morning with the memory of Caelan's small silhouette burned across my eyes. The fountain water had fallen back into its basin

ZaraMy fork had fallen against the china with a sound like a gunshot, and for three full heartbeats nobody at that table moved.David wiped the corner of his mouth with a linen napkin, folded it neatly beside his plate, and smiled at my mother as though he had commented on the weather. I watched her face drain of colour, and I understood that whatever he had just said, she had not expected to hear it from him."Henrietta is where?" I asked, and I was horrified to hear my voice come out thin and childish."Forgive me, Luna, I assumed that your mother had already told you," David said, turning toward me with perfect courtesy. "The organisation copies me on every message that concerns your safety, and I thought you knew that I was the liaison between the handler and this household.""I have never been told any such thing, and I do not recall inviting you to read my mother's private correspondence," Martha said, and her voice was calm in the way that a frozen lake is calm."Nobody invite

We had both lost Diane, but Cecil had always loved her with a ferocity that left no room for anything else.When the alarms began to wail, I felt them in my bones before I heard them with my ears.I sprang from the chair, pressed a kiss against Cecil's damp hair, and checked that the bedroom door was locked before sprinting down the corridor toward the sound.Warriors poured through the halls with weapons drawn, shouting orders that overlapped into a confused roar, and I caught Andrew by the sleeve as he rushed past."What is happening, and why are the border alarms ringing
