His redeeming light Possession Has No Logic
LUCIAN'S POVElias's message comes at nine forty-seven.Unknown male. Seated next to her at the bar. Civilian presentation. Engaging.I read it once.I am in the car at nine forty-eight.This is not a decision.That is the part I cannot explain in any language that makes sense — it is not a decision the way decisions work, with variables assessed and outcomes weighed and the rational mind arriving at a conclusion. It is movement. Pure, unmediated, completely unjustified movement, the body doing the thing before the mind has voted on it.I am in the car.The city slides past the windows.You are being irrational, I tell myself.Completely, Kael agrees. He does not suggest I turn around.I know the Southern territory scent profile the way I know every territory under my authority — three centuries of learning the specific olfactory signature of every pack in my jurisdiction, catalogued and updated and cross-referenced until identification is reflex.Elias sends the secondary report at
His redeeming light Jade Notices Everything
BELLE'S POVThe Ember Room at lunch is the best version of normal I have access to right now.Loud. Fast. Demanding. The kind of work that requires all of you and returns the favor by leaving no room for anything else. Four hours of full tables and complicated orders and the specific, grounding exhaustion of a body that has been useful — I need this more than I have ever needed anything that costs forty dollars for bread.I need to be ordinary for four hours.I am almost managing it."Table nine wants the sea bass without the sauce," Jade says, appearing at my elbow with the energy of someone who has been on shift for six hours and is running entirely on espresso and willpower. "Which is insane because the sauce is the point, but—""Table nine gets what table nine wants," I say."Table nine is getting what table nine wants and a private judgment from me that they'll never know about." She falls into step beside me. "How are you?""Fine.""Belle.""Working on fine. Working toward fine.
His redeeming light The Western Faction
LUCIAN'S POVI don't sleep.This is not unusual — I have never been a man who sleeps easily or often. Three centuries of leadership will do that. The crown doesn't stop requiring attention just because the sun goes down.But tonight is different.Tonight I stand on the terrace at two a.m. and I feel Belle three floors above me — the remnant of the bond, still warm, still directional, still there despite everything pack law said to the contrary — and I think about a devastated face in a window that I didn't know she saw.She saw.I felt the exact moment she looked back.The bond, even fractured, even formal severed under old law, registers her attention the way a compass registers north. She looked. She saw my face. She said nothing.She's protecting you, Kael says. From having to explain it.I don't deserve that.No, he agrees. You don't.We stand on the terrace together — king and beast, three centuries of partnership — and watch the city and say nothing else.At four a.m. I go back i
His redeeming light Roommates in a War Zone
BELLE'S POVMara tells us everything.Not immediately — she makes tea first, which under any other circumstances I would find maddening, but there is something about the way Mara moves through a kitchen that makes you understand the tea is not delay. The tea is ritual. The tea is Mara communicating that what she is about to say deserves the weight of being said properly.We sit at the long kitchen table. Lucian across from me. Mara at the head, hands wrapped around her cup, eyes moving between us with the calm of someone who has been waiting for this conversation for longer than either of us realizes."The text," Lucian says. "Who sent it?"Mara looks at him steadily. "Someone who has been watching this bloodline for a very long time.""Mara—""Not tonight." Her voice is gentle but final. The voice of a woman who has decided what she will and will not give. "Tonight she needs to understand what she is. The rest — the who and the why and the how long — that comes when she's ready." She
His redeeming light No Going Back
BELLE'S POVThe car is silent the entire way.Not the companionable silence of two people who are comfortable with each other. The pressurized silence of two people sitting eighteen inches apart, each of them carrying something enormous, neither of them ready to put it down in a moving vehicle.Lucian is in the seat beside me.Not the front. Beside me.I don't know what to do with that so I look out the window and watch the city and count the blocks and pretend the eighteen inches of charged air between us is not doing something complicated to my already complicated chest.He has not touched me.He has not spoken.He looked at the wall above my bed and made one phone call and then he came into the hallway and said let's go in the voice that doesn't leave room for alternatives, and I came, because the alternative was standing in my ransacked apartment staring at four words carved in ancient script above the place where I sleep.THE LUNA'S BLOOD BELONGS TO US.I don't know what it means
His redeeming light What the Rejection Did to Him
LUCIAN'S POVThe twelve words leave my mouth.And Kael goes to war.Not outward — nothing visible, nothing the four hundred wolves in this room will ever see. Inside. A war fought entirely in the space behind my ribs, between the king and the beast, between the crown and the thing that has been certain since a rain-soaked street corner that Belle Griffin is the only direction that matters.Take it back, Kael says.I don't take it back.Say her name. Just her name. Tell them you lied.I don't say her name.Then at least look at her. If you're going to do this, look at her while you do it. Don't you dare look away.I look at her.And I wish, immediately and completely, that I hadn't.She is standing at the edge of the circle in my dress — and that detail alone is doing something savage to my composure, the fact that she is wearing something I chose, in this moment, in front of these witnesses — with her chin level and her eyes dry and her spine so straight it looks architectural.She is
