I Become The Villainess In A Werewolf Romance Novel Ten paces
Tessa opened the road at dusk, and I walked through it in a coat I did not own, with a cold gray book under my arm.It was the same pale stone path that had led me up to the temple, only now it ran down through the silver trees and out across the hills toward a lake I could already feel behind my ribs. Not a thread. Just a direction, the way you know where your own front door is in the dark.The double walked beside me. She had asked to come, and I had said yes, on conditions. She wore Evangeline's spare robe, which was too short at the wrists, and kept her eyes on her feet. Every few steps she flinched at nothing, the way a person flinches when a radio is switched off in a quiet room."You will want a name," I said."I have yours.""You cannot keep mine."She thought about it for a hundred paces. "Nell," she said. "A maid in the first book. You read it over your shoulder, once, and you have forgotten it, but I have not. She

The standing stones were gray in the dawn.The bus sat in the middle of the ring with its doors open, steaming gently, like an animal that had run a long way. Dew lay on the moss. Somewhere far off a bird tried a single note and thought better of it."Sit down, child," Evangeline said. "You are shaking."I was. I sat on the bus step with the cold gray book across my knees, and I did not let go of it.Tessa stood at the altar stone in a gray robe that had grown into her. She looked tired and very calm, and the silver under her skin had steadied into something like a pulse."How did you find me?" I asked."Book Two." Evangeline held up the twin I had left with her, its cloth cold and its pages fluttering. "When you crossed, it followed you line by line, and I read along. At the moment the double's copy wrote *the road was not the road she knew*, mine wrote it too. Tessa opened the stones at that sentence. We folded your bus in

I crossed at dusk on the third night, with the glow already dimming.I had meant to go quietly. I had packed almost nothing: a loaf of bread, because Marta would not let me leave without one, and the little silver wolf's-head brooch from my mother's tin, which I pinned inside my collar where no one would see it. But the whole lodge was at the lake, standing in a ragged half-circle on the wet grass, and nobody was pretending it was an ordinary evening.Pip would not look at me. He had planted himself at the front with his arms crossed and his chin trembling, and every few seconds he scrubbed his sleeve across his face and glared at the water as if it had personally offended him."You said you were staying," he said finally."I am staying.""That is not what it looks like.""I am going to get something, and then I am coming back." I knelt in front of him. "I made you a promise in a kitchen once. A life is worth more than a sto

I did not sit beside her.I crossed the aisle and sat in the seat where Priya used to sit, the one from which a patient woman had once asked me to keep it down. The double watched me do it with her head tilted, the way you watch a cat choose a chair."Across the aisle," she said. "Yes. That is what it said you would do."She turned the little gray book toward me. The cloth was cold enough that I felt it from three feet away. Its page was open, and the black letters were still settling, like ink in water.*She would not sit beside her own face. She crossed the aisle instead, and the bus gave a lurch, and she did not look away.*The bus lurched. I did not look away."That is very good," I said, and my voice came out steadier than I felt. "You read fast.""I read a half-second ahead." She smiled with my mouth. "It is the nicest thing about the book. I never have to wonder what you will say."---We ro

I finished the sentence.It felt wrong to leave it hanging, a door propped open on its hinge. I stood in the gold light of the east tower with the pen in my hand, and the cold gray book open on the shelf, and wrote the next word in my own tidy block letters.*found.*The ink dried the moment it touched the page. A new line began to form beneath it, slowly, without a hand, as if someone far away were writing and I was only reading over her shoulder.*It was a quarter past seven on a Tuesday, and the 42 was late.*My heart stopped.I closed the book and ran.---Gideon was in the garden, humming off-key and pruning the rosemary over Amelia's grave with a pair of shears he did not know how to use. He looked up when I came through the arch, flushed and breathless, with a gray book clutched to my chest."You look," he said carefully, "like a woman who has seen a ghost.""Not a ghost. A bus." I
I Become The Villainess In A Werewolf Romance Novel Book Two
Lorcan Stroud was judged at dawn, by the same Council he had spent a century filling with his own people. There were five chairs at the long black table in the great hall. Four held elders who looked ashen and could not meet the pack's eyes. The fifth chair stood empty, and in front of it, on a plain wooden stool, they had set what the stones had left of him. He was so old that he no longer looked like a man. He looked like something carved from driftwood and left out in the weather. His hands trembled in his lap. When he lifted his head, his eyes were still gentle, and that was the worst of it. "Order," he breathed, in a voice like dry leaves. "I only ever wanted... order." Nobody answered him. Evangeline read the charges in her clear, steady voice. Camille read them again from the witness stand, and Calista a third time, with Bess's hand in hers. When the last word was spoken, the four elders rose, and the sentence was the oldest the Council knew. He would be carried to the sta
