"He kissed you."

"Yes."

"In the corridor."

"Yes."

"In the palace." Pilar sat back in her chair and looked at me like I had just told her the sky was green. "Kaelan...kissed you."

"Pilar," I whined.

"I am processing."

"You have been processing for five minutes."

"It is a lot to process." She pressed both hands flat on the table and looked at them. Then at me. "And you kissed him back."

"The bond—"

"I know about the bond, Ophelia. I am asking about you. Did you kiss him back?"

My gaze fell to the

  • Bound to the Alpha Twins   The Carriage Rolls

    The wheels turned and dust rose from the gravel. The carriage moved slowly at first, then faster, pulling away from the palace gates.I stood at the edge of the courtyard and watched it go.Pilar's face was in the window. She was not waving. She never waved. She just looked at me through the glass until the carriage turned and she was gone.I did not move.The courtyard was almost empty. I stood alone, except for Gertha's ever-persistent presence, the gravel crunching under my boots. I thought about the morning that had led up to this moment.~`~`~`~`~`~`|~`~`~`~`~`~`|~`~`~`~`~`~`Pilar had packed her bag before the sun was fully up. I had woken to the sound of fabric rustling, of her moving through the room."You're up," she said, not looking at me.I sat up. "You're leaving.""The Queen's carriage is already waiting. She does not like to be kept waiting. I don't need to be on her bad side."She patted her bag that lay on the floor.I swung my legs over the side of the bed. The floor

  • Bound to the Alpha Twins   A Princess's Token

    I turned, and there Elara stood at the edge of the balcony, her arms crossed, her grey eyes fixed on me. She had not moved closer. She did not need to. The question hung in the air between us, like she had all the time in the world.Pilar recovered first. "We were just—""Talking about my brother." Elara's voice was unnervingly calm. "I heard."She walked to the railing and stood beside us, looking down at the now almost empty training yards. Most of the warriors had gone, and the dust had begun to settle. The afternoon light was fading, casting long shadows across the stone.Pilar shot me a look. I ignored her.Elara did not speak for a while. She simply stood there, her raven hair moving in the breeze, her hands loose at her sides. She stood like she had been carved into the stone. Her stillness was majestic and unsettling at the same time; it made you aware of your own restlessness.I waited, calculating what would be her next action."My brother does not send me," she said finally

  • Bound to the Alpha Twins   Are You Talking About My Brother?

    The afternoon sun warmed the wide stone balcony overlooking the training fields.Pilar and I sat at a small iron table the servants had carried out earlier. A large tray sat between us, carrying fresh bread still warm from the kitchens, soft cheese, olives in oil, sliced apples and pears, dried figs, and a pitcher of watered wine.The air carried the steady sounds from below: steel clashing against steel, instructors shouting commands, and the rhythmic thud of boots on packed earth.Pilar leaned forward on the railing, chewing a piece of bread as she watched the warriors train. "Look at that one," she said, pointing with her chin. "The tall one with the scar running down his left arm. He handles the sword so well. Strong stance, good balance. I bet he came from the border patrols."I smiled and tore off a piece of bread. "You sound like you're back on duty.""A little." Pilar grinned. "I spent four years as a guard. Old habits stay with you. See how he shifts his weight before each st

  • Bound to the Alpha Twins   It Burned

    ***THIRD POV***Kaelan stood in the doorway, shoulders squared, breathing hard from the semi-run here.He had not knocked, he had simply pushed and the door had given way.Maybe, he should not have done that as the bare body of a slender woman nestled under his brother came into view.She yelped and scrambled for the bedding, pulling it over herself.Lucian moved quickly, one hand reaching toward the dagger on the side table before he recognized his brother and let the motion die. "You could have knocked," he said."I could have," Kaelan agreed, stepping into the room. "I did not."The sound of ruffling sheets, drew Kaelan's attention to today's bedwarmer. One of his brother's many whores.Her eyes were wide with shock, her hair tangled across her shoulders."Get out."She did not need to be told twice, she snatched her robe from the floor, clutched it to her chest and hurried past him, bare feet cluttering on the stone.The door swung partially closed behind her, the latch broken.Whe

  • Bound to the Alpha Twins   Friend or Foe

    “You need to get up.”Gertha’s voice cut through the dark. The fire was dead, the room cold, and she was already pulling a lilac dress from the wardrobe, her movements brisk and efficient.“The Queen approved a visitor for you,” she said, not looking at me. “Someone from Ashen Ridge. You have one hour to get ready.”I sat up, my head thick from sleep, my limbs heavy from days of tension. “Who?”Gertha laid the dress on the bed and turned to face me. “You will see soon enough. Wash your face, fix your hair and do not keep them waiting.”She left before I could ask any more questions. I stared at the lilac fabric, my mind stumbling over possibilities.My mother would not leave the cottage – she had not left Ashen Ridge in years.Pilar would. Only Pilar would find a way to convince the Queen to let her visit.I pushed myself out of bed and washed quickly, the water cold against my skin. The dress fit well enough, though the sleeves were longer than what I was used to, and the fabric was s

  • Bound to the Alpha Twins   Four Thanks Too Many

    Lucian pushed off the wall and stepped fully into the corridor, his posture still relaxed, almost casual.Riven had already disappeared down the hall.The firelight caught the sharp edges of his face as he looked at me, and there was something in the way he watched me, something soft.“You handled yourself quite well in there,” he said. His voice was soothing, making Swift purr somewhere deep in my chest.“You think so?” I asked, shocked.“I think it was pretty clear, wasn’t it? Even a blind man would have seen it.”I blinked, caught off guard by the near-kindness. “Thank you.”“You shouldn’t be out here,” he said, “not right after the hall emptied. It invites talk.”My hands folded in front of the pale blue dress, the fabric suddenly feeling stiff again. “I was heading back to my room when I overheard you talking, and I decided to come say thank you.”A hint of confusion crossed his face. “For what?”“Really?” I laughed lightly, the sound surprising even me. “For helping me out with t

  • Bound to the Alpha Twins   Act Like It

    ***THIRD POV*** The door shut behind her with a quiet click. Kaelan did not move. Silence filled the room, thick and suffocating, as though the space itself was holding its breath. The two alpha brothers had numerous thoughts running through their minds. Thoughts so heavy they tainted the air be

  • Bound to the Alpha Twins   A Bond That Cannot Be Ignored

    The door opened, and I was led into a room that thrived on quiet intimacy. It was small compared to the grandeur of the Grand Hall, a room that could have been a painting itself.The walls were lined with aged wood, smooth and warm under the dim glow of lamp lights hung at strategic points. They we

  • Bound to the Alpha Twins   The Mate Bond

    The music resumed, loud and mesmerizing, its melody travelling through every corner of the Grand Hall, coaxing feet back into motion. Yet I did not move.I stood rigid, legs glued to the spot, as though if I made a single step the world would shatter. Around me, wolves swayed and spun, lanterns ref

  • Bound to the Alpha Twins   The Pull of the Moon

    Moonlight poured through the open ceiling like liquid silver, spilling across the well-polished floors and illuminating the faces of wolves moving gracefully through the hall. The pack wolves looked unearthly in its soft glow. This was another thing Silver Fang was widely known for: its members wh
