"Emily."
"I don't want to talk right now."
"I know." His footsteps didn't stop. "I'm still not leaving it like that."
I kept walking anyway, down past the edge of the training yard where the trees started again, until he finally caught up and fell into step beside me instead of in front of me, which was, I had to admit, at least a small

Claimed by The Wolf l Ran From Chapter Twenty -Eight :The Name In The Note
I stood outside the training arena, every muscle in my body registering a complaint it fully intended to file again tomorrow, and I should have been celebrating. I'd won a fight almost everyone in that crowd had expected me to lose.Instead, I was staring at a folded scrap of paper.*You were right to fight her.**But the person you should be questioning isn't Victoria.**ELDER MARCUS.*I read it again, like the words might rearrange themselves into something that made more sense the second time. Who had slipped it into my hand? Why warn me at all, and why wait until after the fight to name him? What did an elder I'd barely spoken to have to do with any of this?Damien approached before I'd gotten anywhere close to an answer."Come on," he said. "The healer wants to check your ribs."I folded the note and slipped it into my pocket in the same motion. He noticed anyway, because of course he did."What was that?""Nothing."He raised an eyebrow. "Emily."I gave him a tired smile. "Damie

I woke sore in places I hadn't known could ache, and nervous in a way my determination hadn't quite managed to burn off overnight.The note was still folded beneath my pillow where I'd left it. *Tomorrow, don't trust Damien.* I thought about showing it to him more than once while I dressed, and talked myself out of it each time. Whoever had written it, whatever they meant by it, I wasn't going to let an anonymous scrap of paper get inside my head before I'd even stepped into the arena.Damien arrived to walk me there, and he noticed immediately that something was sitting wrong with me."You're unusually quiet.""I'm thinking.""That sounds dangerous."I rolled my eyes, and for a moment our usual rhythm came back easily, familiar enough to loosen some of the tightness in my chest. He reminded me, gently, that I could still withdraw."I'm not walking away," I said, "just because someone expects me to lose."He didn't argue. Before we left, he took my hand. "Whatever happens today, you d

I'd barely finished accepting Victoria's challenge before Damien pulled me away from the crowd, his grip on my arm somewhere between gentle and furious."Have you lost your mind?""Good morning to you too.""Victoria has trained her entire life to become a warrior," he said. "You barely know how to control your own strength.""Then I'll learn.""In two days?"I lifted my chin. "Would you prefer I ran away instead?"He went silent at that, and I knew exactly why. Running was how all of this had started — me, fleeing through Blackwood Forest, him chasing me down before either of us understood what we were to each other. I watched it land, and something in me softened despite myself."I'm not doing this because I want to become Luna," I said, quieter now. "I'm doing it because I'm tired of everyone treating me like I'm too weak to make my own decisions.""I don't think you're weak.""Then stop treating me like I am."Neither of us said anything for a moment. Finally, he exhaled, some of t
Claimed by The Wolf l Ran From Chapter Twenty-Five: The Challenge
Nobody moved for a long moment after I said it.Some faces in the crowd had gone openly offended, like I'd committed some unforgivable breach just by speaking the words out loud. Others looked frankly shocked that an outsider would dare say anything of the sort to their faces at all. On the platform, I caught Damien fighting, and mostly losing, a battle not to smile.Victoria wasn't fighting anything. She just looked furious.One of the elders stepped forward first, an older man with sharp, unimpressed eyes. "Do you have any idea who you're speaking to, girl?"I folded my arms. "People who apparently think being born a werewolf makes them better than everyone else."His face went a shade darker. "You're standing on our territory.""And yet I'm the only one here being treated like an intruder."Damien finally stepped in, though not the way I expected. He didn't tell me to apologize, didn't smooth it over or soften it for the crowd's comfort. He simply reminded everyone, in a voice that
Claimed by The Wolf l Ran From Chapter Twenty-Four: I Don't Want to Be Your Luna
I couldn't sleep.I lay there in the dark replaying the same two sentences over and over until they'd worn a groove into me.*Having a mate doesn't mean he has to make her Luna.**That's the part you're going to have to earn.*The longer I turned them over, the angrier I got, until the anger wasn't really about the words anymore. It was about the fact that nobody — not one single person in this entire exhausting supernatural mess — had ever actually asked me whether I wanted any of this. I'd found out werewolves existed a few weeks ago. I'd found out *I* existed, in some real sense, only a little while before that. And now an entire pack was quietly voting on whether I deserved to lead them.I gave up on sleep somewhere around two in the morning and went looking for somewhere quiet enough to think.---Damien found me sitting on the back steps of the lodge, staring out at the dark tree line, and he didn't say anything at first. He just sat down beside me, close but not touching, like

"I'm still not leaving it like that."I kept walking anyway, down past the edge of the training yard where the trees started again, until he finally caught up and fell into step beside me instead of in front of me, which was, I had to admit, at least a small mercy."You asked me something," he said. "You deserve the actual answer, not whatever I was about to give you back there."I stopped. "Then give it to me."He exhaled slowly. "Yes," he said. "If I had never found you, I would have married her."---It hurt more than I expected, even having already guessed it, even having already braced for exactly this.
