XAHEN.

I didn't move.

That was the first rule with ferals. Any quick movement and it was over before it started. I stood in the center of the ring they'd formed around me and kept my breathing controlled and took them in one by one.

I hated looking at ferals.

I always had. Not from fear. From something closer to the particular revulsion that came from knowing what they used to be. Every single one of them had been a wolf once. Upright. Thinking. Capable of something resembling humanity. And the

    XAHEN.I didn't move.That was the first rule with ferals. Any quick movement and it was over before it started. I stood in the center of the ring they'd formed around me and kept my breathing controlled and took them in one by one.I hated looking at ferals.I always had. Not from fear. From something closer to the particular revulsion that came from knowing what they used to be. Every single one of them had been a wolf once. Upright. Thinking. Capable of something resembling humanity. And then the wild had gotten into them, one too many nights alone in the Unders or the corrupted borderlands, and they'd gone, piece by piece, until what was left was this.Stuck between their skin and their fur and belonging fully to neither.They were easily seven feet tall, the lower halves of their bodies the vision of a wolf's hind legs, the upper halves a corded mass of muscle and matted fur that made them look like something assembled from a nightmare. Their claws were long and extended and mass

    XAHEN.My jaw clenched so hard I felt it in my back teeth.I stared out at the ocean, at the nothing sitting on the surface of it where my enemy should have been visible, and felt my temper climb to levels I was actively working to keep from doing what they wanted to do.I needed to think.The smoke wasn't helping. It was flooding my lungs and coating my throat and making the kind of clear calm thinking I needed right now significantly harder than it should have been. I pulled my gaze from the water and brought it to the flames surrounding the ship, running the calculation fast and not liking the answer.If I didn't put this fire out soon, everyone on this ship was going to burn alive.Another ball of flame careened out of the air from nowhere, crossing the ocean in a blazing arc and hitting the centre of the deck. It landed and spread immediately, a circle of hot fire pushing outward through the middle of the ship, eating through the wood with the focused appetite of something that h

    XAHEN.I was making a careful point of not thinking about her.It was going well.I had a released prisoner with no word on his whereabouts, a dozen missing guards, and a voyage ahead of me across the northern realm. That was enough to occupy any man's mind. Enough to keep the other things at a manageable distance, the things I'd been making an equally careful point of not examining since two nights ago.The feelings Theodosa Fane was stirring up in me.I killed that thought before it finished forming and climbed the steps to the ship.My councilors had been characteristically insufferable about this trip. If I wasn't taking any of them, they'd said, then I was taking guards. Protocol. I understood it well enough not to argue. Six guards, all of them good men, and we were headed for Duskmire.I wanted to know the status on Binny Fane.I also wanted to see what Duskmire looked like these days. What it felt like. What kind of place had produced Theodosa, who read romance novels in her c

    THEODOSA.The painkillers were in Afnie's bathroom cabinet.She came back with two and a glass of water and handed them to me with the careful energy of someone trying very hard not to ask the seventeen questions currently sitting behind her eyes.I took them without looking at her.The tension in the room was sitting at a specific level that nobody was addressing out loud, which was fine by me. Nala was on the couch looking at me with that particular expression she wore when she was turning something over in her head and hadn't decided what to do with it yet. Afnie was standing by the kitchen counter watching me like I might suddenly do something alarming.I drank the water and set the glass down."Stop looking at me like that," I said to Afnie."I'm not looking at you like anything.""You're looking at me like I've grown a second head."Afnie opened her mouth and then closed it and looked at Nala instead.Nala said, still looking at me, "We need to talk to someone who actually knows

    THEODOSA.He opened his eyes slowly.The tension that had been lining his body seemed to drop from his shoulders, just slightly, just enough that I noticed it. His gaze came back to me and I tried to school my face into something neutral because the whole thing was genuinely strange and I didn't want him to see that I thought so.Last I knew, I was his prisoner.His pleasure slave, technically, by the terms we'd agreed to. But with the fridge and the food and the kitchen being built in the next room and the fact that I could apparently leave this building now, I wasn't so sure what I was anymore.I held his stare for a long moment before he cocked a slow dark brow at me.I looked away first.I moved toward the tray on the bed, my feet soft against the floor, and stood in front of it for a moment before I sat down. Then I reached out and lifted the metal coverings slowly.Eggs. Bacon. Cheese. Sausages. A carton of orange juice laying flat beside a stack of bagels and a bowl of fruit.M

    THEODOSA.I woke up slowly.My head was pounding before I was even fully awake, a dull heavy throb that sat behind my eyes and made blinking feel like effort. My mouth was dry. I tried to moisten my lips and they were chapped and sore against my tongue.I was thirsty.I blinked up at the ceiling. The room was dim. I turned my head slowly.The thrum in my chest was faint. Barely anything. I knew before I'd even finished looking around.Xahen wasn't here.I sat up slowly and held the comforter to my chest and stayed there for a moment.My thighs were sore. My arms. My wrists. My lips.All of it sitting right there, a full inventory of last night that my body had taken without being asked.I let out a tired sigh and pushed myself to my feet.My gaze froze on the corner of the room.There was something there I hadn't noticed before. Tall. Plugged into the wall. I stared at it from where I was standing, trying to make sense of the shape of it in the dim light, and then I crossed the room s

    THEODOSA. I refused to flinch. He wanted me to cower. To stammer and blush and prove that I wasn’t serious about this. That I was just some desperate girl who’d crumble the moment he pushed back. I wasn’t going to give him that. “I want my brother released,” I said, keeping my voice steady. “Se

    THEODOSA.Obsidian in the daytime was a different beast entirely.The streets that had felt like a death trap my first night here were now just streets. Busy ones filled with people who looked like they had places to be and things to do. Stall vendors shouted over each other trying to attract custo

    THEODOSA. I should try to escape. The thought had been circling my mind like a vulture for hours—maybe days—waiting for me to be desperate enough to actually consider it. I stared at the bars of my cell, then down at the silver chains on my wrists. The burns were worse now. Red and weeping,

    THEODOSA.Ten years.I drew back from the bars, the weight of those two words crushing down on me like a boulder.Ten years locked in this cell? Ten possible years waiting for a king who believed I was his twice-over betrayer. Ten years hoping he'd shift back into a man who wanted me dead anyway?W
