FREYA'S POV

The fire cracked.

Everybody looked at me.

My mother. My father. Kade. Dr. Ewan. Corin Vance at the back with his hat in his hands.

"Told them what?" my mother said.

I sat there with my hands in my lap and my mouth shut.

"Freya," Dr. Ewan said. "They've earned it. They've been in the water and in the trench and in the dark and they've asked for nothing but the truth. Give it to them."

I looked at my mother.

"I died," I said.

She didn't move.

"I died in a hospital ward when I was thir

  • He Threw Me Away Once, This Time I Choose the Lycan prince   80: Reset

    RONAN’S POVThat was all I needed to hear."Oi—"I went out of the gate. The gravel hurt through the pads and it was four minutes and I could smell her the whole way, her and her mother's tea and the wet coats on the hooks, and Kade came after me at a jog and then a walk and then just came, and stopped at the bottom of the steps when I went up them.The door was shut. I scratched at it.Then there was a bolt and the door and her mother saying, oh, you great thing, and the hall was warm and there was light and it hurt my eyes and I got in past her and put my paw on the bottom step and looked up.Freya was at the top with a lamp behind her and her arms folded.I stopped and she came down two steps and said it all. Hearing it from her made my chest tighten. Something uncomfortable sitting in my ribcage. Then it came back the other way and it was worse, and I was on the flags with my shoulder screaming and no clothes and mud in my hair, and her mother got a cloth off the rail and put it

  • He Threw Me Away Once, This Time I Choose the Lycan prince   79: Make It Up

    RONAN'S POVThe wall was real. That was the thing nobody could get their head round, and I couldn't explain it, so I stopped trying.It was in my back, low, between the shoulder blades and the hips, and it was like a door with the key on the wrong side. Everything I had went at it and the door took the weight and gave nothing back.Three times I put my whole self at it and three times it held and the noise came out of me instead and I ended up on the stones with my arm over my face because I couldn't stand the six of them looking.I've been looked at my whole life. That's the part people don't understand. Being looked at isn't new. But the difference between a man looking at a bastard and thinking there he goes and a man looking at a bastard and thinking is that all there is.That’s how that man was looking at me and I hated it.I'd been sick twice and there was drain water in my mouth and I could hear my own breath going and every time I looked up there were coats. Coats that cost mo

  • He Threw Me Away Once, This Time I Choose the Lycan prince   78: Talk

    FREYA'S POVNobody looked at me.That was the first thing I noticed, and it was a stupid thing to notice, and it went in like a splinter anyway. Six men and my mother and Marissa and a wolf in the yard, and every one of them looking at the wolf.I got up off my knees. The drain water had gone through to the skin and my hands were filthy and there was mud up the front of my coat where Ronan had been lying."He's gone past his mate," the thin man said from the gate.Kade's hand was still on the wolf's head."It's his first shift," he said. "He doesn't know where he is.""Alpha, that's not how a first shift goes and you know it. A first shift goes to the bond or it goes to the ground.""Then we'll ask him in the morning."The man looked at me, and there was something almost sorry in his face, and that was worse than if he'd been pleased."Mrs. Everhart," he said to my mother. "You'll want to get her in and dry.""I know what I'll want," my mother said.The yard emptied. Marissa was the l

  • He Threw Me Away Once, This Time I Choose the Lycan prince   77: More Time

    FREYA'S POVHe failed again at eight twenty-nine.It was worse than the first time because the first time had been noise and this one was quiet. A ripple ran down him and got as far as his hips and died there, and he folded slowly sideways into the drain and lay with his arm over his face."Eight twenty-nine," the thin man said."Say the time again," my mother said. "It's the only thing you've said all night.""Eight twenty-nine, Mrs. Everhart, and he's had three goes at it and he's down each time.""He's got thirty-one minutes."Ronan's breath was going in and out of him in short tearing pulls and his arm was over his eyes and his ribs were showing with every one.He's going to fail.I could feel it in my own chest, the flat certainty of it, the way you know a thing before it happens. I had lain in a ward and watched a monitor and known, and there is a particular sick stillness that comes over you when you stop hoping and start calculating how bad it will be."Ronan," I said.He didn

    FREYA'S POV"Him or us," the thin man said again, slower, as though I might not have understood the first time.Five faces in the doorway and one of them was Kade's. Every one of them was waiting.I stood in the middle of the hall and my hands had gone numb and the inside of my mouth tasted of pennies, and what I could think of, standing there, was a room I had been in eleven years from now, in a different life, with a registrar and a pen.Sign here, Luna.Nobody had asked me anything that day either. My mother was two months dead and my father was four weeks dead and Marissa had brought the papers in a folder with a ribbon on it and said it's all in hand, sweetheart, you've only to sign, and I had signed four pages I never read because I couldn't see them for crying, and the ribbon had gone in the fire.Four pages. A house. A name. A stone."Both," I said.The thin man blinked."That's not an answer.""It's the only one there is." My voice came out steadier than I felt. "You've had e

  • He Threw Me Away Once, This Time I Choose the Lycan prince   75: Him, Or Us?

    FREYA'S POVMarissa had her coat half off and her hand still on the door and she was smiling, and the smile was for Kade and it was the smile of a woman who had come home to a house with the fires out."Ask her what?" she said.Kade didn't answer her. He was looking at me with his jaw set and his eyes doing the thing they did when he'd already decided and hated it."Freya," he said. "Ask her.""Mrs. Redwood," I said. "Did you know your husband was up at that house the week my nanny died?"Marissa's coat came off her shoulder and she hung it up, taking her time."Ellis told you," she said."He told me he was there. He told me about the step and the ring.""Then you know as much as I do." She turned and I got the odd sense that she wasn’t telling me the truth. "I found out tonight, same as you.""You found out tonight that your husband was there. You've known for sixteen years that something happened but you never asked."An emotion passed through her face. It was gone before I could pu
