Ash’s Point Of View

The study was dark, the only light coming from the crackling fire in the hearth, casting long, jagged shadows across the walls. The scent of aged whiskey and old leather filled the air, thick and suffocating, like the weight of expectation that had always pressed down on my shoulders.

My father sat behind his massive oak desk, his broad frame rigid, his sharp eyes locked onto me with an intensity that made my stomach twist. The Alpha’s ring glinted on his finger, a constant

  • Broken by One, Desired by All    380~ Your Altar, My Lord

    Zane's Point Of ViewThe mountain screamed, and the Sigen Lord came out of the altar like something being born.I felt him change before I saw it. The gauntlets came down on the crimson stone and the treasury emptied upward into him, every red line coming down out of the black sky brightening as it passed into his armor, and when he straightened off the altar the dark lightning wasn't arcs anymore. It was weather. It stood on him and around him, black and slow-moving, a storm that had decided to have a body, and the open sky above the roofless throne room leaned down toward him like it knew its owner.I understood, in the first three seconds, that everything from the last hour had been him being polite."Get behind me," I said."I'm the shield," Ronan said. "That's the whole arrangement, have you seen me."He was already moving into it, armored form, broadsword out, planting the way he'd planted on the throne steps of two realms, the stance I'd seen hold a siege line, and the Sigen Lo

  • Broken by One, Desired by All    379~ Let Me Show You

    Ronan"s Point Of ViewThe white went out of the world slowly, and I came back into myself one piece at a time, lying in the wreck of an obsidian pillar, and the first piece that came back was pain.Everything hurt. My back especially, a long bright stripe of it I didn't remember earning, and it took me too long to remember why, because remembering meant going back through the last minute, and the last minute was the Sigen Lord stopping the fight and kneeling down at the crimson altar like a man at prayer, and putting both hands flat on it, and every one of the thousands of red lines coming down out of the sky bending at once, all of them, funneling into him.The treasury. Spent in one withdrawal.I got an arm under myself and pushed, and rubble slid off my back, and somewhere across the wrecked throne room Zane was doing the same thing, hauling himself out of the crater his body had made in a pillar twice his height. The shockwave had picked us both up like weather. It hadn't even loo

  • Broken by One, Desired by All    378~ You Killed My Home

    Ronan's Point Of View"Step back," Ronan said.Zane stopped beside him at the top of the stairs, in front of the obsidian doors, twice their height and black as the bottom of everything, and gave him a look. "I can help.""Nope. Step back." Ronan rolled his shoulders, felt the wolf settle under his skin, and grinned. "Relax. Your husband's got this."The flush that went up Zane's face was immediate and total, gold glow and red cheeks and all, and Ronan grinned wider, because after six floors of mist and walls and everything trying to kill them, stealing that blush off his mate was still the best thing on the mountain. Then he let the shift take him, man to wolf between one breath and the next, and hit the doors at a dead run with everything he had.The doors went.Off their track, off the mountain's own hinges, down onto the throne room floor with a crash that rolled away across the stone like thunder looking for somewhere to land. Six floors of being slowed down and held up and torn

  • Broken by One, Desired by All    377~ Three More Hours

    Chapter 12: The Last Ten MinutesThere were no more rings.Kaelen's last ring had held for a while and then it hadn't, the way everything in this siege had held for a while and then hadn't, and the defense had been pushed back across its own dead and up the plaza, and then up the first of the throne steps, and there it stopped, because there was nowhere else. The throne room doors stood shut behind them all, tall as old trees, and behind the doors was the throne, and behind the throne there was nothing at all, no further line, no next plan, no ground.The core's pulse was gone. The wards were dead stone. The sky had finished bleeding hours ago and now it was just black, a black with no stars in it, and the plaza below the steps was filling and filling with wraiths, thousands deep, wall to wall, more pouring in through the broken ward-lines every minute without end.The Alpha King stood on the middle of the steps, alone in the way a man is alone when everyone can see him and no one can

  • Broken by One, Desired by All    376~ You Would Have To Go Through Me First

    Zane's Point Of ViewWe came out of the stairway running and didn't stop.Floor 7 was a courtyard at the bottom of a dark mountain, and the mountain had a castle on it, tier after tier of black stone climbing until the towers disappeared into a sky the color of a dead thing. The Sigen Lord was up there. I could feel him the way you feel a hand resting on the back of your neck, and after six floors, after the mist and the wall and everything the tower had thrown at us just to slow us down, all I wanted was to reach the stairs on the far side of this yard and keep going. Ronan ran half a step ahead of me and we didn't waste breath on words.My legs were screaming. The glow under my skin hadn't gone out since the Sixth Floor, and my new core sat in my chest like a coal that wouldn't cool, and I ran on it anyway, spending what I had, because somewhere far below us a city was dying and a core was failing and every minute counted.We were halfway across the yard when the air in front of us

  • Broken by One, Desired by All    375~ I'm The Decoy

    The outer city had gone quiet.Not the quiet of peace,,, the quiet of a place that had been drunk dry. The wraiths had taken the courtyards, the secondary gates, the academy where the young soldiers had died with their life force leaching out of them like heat from a corpse, and now the streets beyond the inner sanctuary stood empty in the dark. The crimson sky had faded to the color of an old wound. Even the light was dying.On the sanctuary steps, the Alpha King counted his front line for the third time that night and got the same number each time. Too few. His cloak was gone, torn off somewhere in the retreat from the courtyards. His armor had dried black. Some of the blood on it was his.Behind him the doors stood open, swallowing civilians in a slow, shuffling stream... the old, the wounded, children carrying younger children. And beneath everything, hum the city's magic core, the heartbeat under the flagstones. It stuttered. A catch, a skip, like a man trying to breathe around a
