From Cast-Off Daughter to Lycan Queen Chapter 64 — Are You Sure?
Raven’s PORaven’s POV“Emilia is dying, Raven.”Sophia stood in the receiving hall with road dust on her hem and both hands clasped beneath her breast. She looked past Julian when we entered, searching for me.She did not ask how I was.“What happened?”“The baby came too early. Emilia lost a great deal of blood.”The papers folded inside my pocket seemed to grow heavier.Minutes ago, I had been trying to understand a false birthplace and a changed signature. Now Sophia was looking at me with the expression she used whenever Emilia needed something I possessed.“And the baby?” I asked.“A girl. Rowan. She’s small, but she’s alive.”“How early?”“Six weeks.” Sophia’s voice caught. “She needs her mother, Raven.”I looked toward Julian. He remain
From Cast-Off Daughter to Lycan Queen Chapter 63: Tell Me
Raven’s POV“Tell me.”Damon turned from the table. Clarissa stood beside him with a folded paper in her hand, and whatever she had been about to say disappeared when she saw me in the doorway.“Raven. I thought you were resting.”“I was. Then I heard my name.”I had come to return the shawl she had left in my room. It hung from my arm now, one end trailing against the floor.“You said the record wasn’t right,” I continued. “What record?”Damon glanced at Clarissa.“Don’t do that.” My voice sharpened. “Don’t decide between you how much I can hear.”He looked back at me.“You’re right.”I waited. I had expected an argument, and the agreement left me with nowhere to put the anger gathering beneath my ribs.He pulled out a chair.“You don’t have to sit. But this may take a little time.”I remained standing.Clarissa placed the paper on the table, then stepped away from it.
From Cast-Off Daughter to Lycan Queen Chapter 62: Open Hands
“Julian. Are you awake?”“Now I am.” The mattress shifted, and a warm hand found my hip in the dark. “What's wrong?”“Nothing. Everything.” I sat up against the headboard and pulled my knees to my chest. The palace was silent. A single lamp burned low on the dresser. “I need your help with something. And I don't know how to say it without sounding strange.”He sat up too, hair rumpled, gold flickering and fading in his eyes. “Say it strange.”“It's Clarissa.”“Has she said something?”“No. She's been perfect. That's the problem.&rdquo
From Cast-Off Daughter to Lycan Queen Chapter 61: The Witnesses
Michael's POV“Tell me you didn't sign it.”My father's face did not move. He stood by the narrow window of the guest wing with his back to me, looking down at the outer court, where four thousand western wolves were drawing up in ranks beyond the walls.“Father.”“I heard you.”“Then answer.”“It is not that simple, Michael.”“Yes, it is.” My voice cracked, and I let it. “Cassian's herald stood at the gate an hour ago and read a contract aloud. A betrothal. Raven's name. Cassian's name. And at the bottom, the witnesses.
From Cast-Off Daughter to Lycan Queen Chapter 60: Gravewort
“The oak that bleeds silver.”I read the line again. Three times. The paper trembled so hard in my fingers that Julian took my wrist to hold it still.Little bird. I thought of Clarissa's blanket, the single bird stitched in dark thread, and a shiver ran down my arms that had nothing to do with the cold.“Do you know it?” he asked his mother.“No.” Maren's eyes were wet. “But Raiden told me once of a grove where the Silver Court took its vows. A place where the old oaks wept silver sap in autumn. It was burned when the Court fell.”“Burned.”“Or so the stories say.&rdqu
From Cast-Off Daughter to Lycan Queen Chapter 59: Three Days
Julian's POV“You told me I was tired.”My mother said it quietly. She sat on the edge of my father's bed with her hands folded in her lap, and she did not look at him. She looked at the coverlet, at the pale stitched wolves, as if she could not bear the weight of his face.“Maren...” the King whispered.“Let me say it, Marcus. I have carried it for so long that I do not know how to put it down.” She drew a breath. “Three nights before I left, I came to you with a casket of root from Aldric's study. I put it in your hands. I told you what I thought it was. I told you whose hands had put it there.”“I remember.”
