A Different Kind of Dangerous

The next several days changed something. Not dramatically. There wasn’t some grand declaration. Drew and I simply started finding each other. Breakfast. The gardens. His room. The library. The creek again.

Sometimes we’d talk for hours. Sometimes we’d sit together while I drew and he worked. Sometimes we’d kiss until I forgot what we’d been talking about.

Jacob became easier too. He was quickly becoming the person I went to whenever I needed an answer that didn’t come with an agenda.

  • Kingdoms Reign   Someone Should

    The clinic smelled like herbs, soap and something vaguely metallic. A tired-looking man stood behind a counter. He recognized Jacob. That surprised me.“Lord Jacob.”Jacob nodded. “Thomas.”“You’ve come a long way from the capital,” Thomas said as he walked toward us. “We’re reviewing the southern supply routes,” Jacob said, as if he had to verify why we were there.Thomas laughed. There was no humor in it. “About time.”I glanced at Thomas, then at Jacob. What did that mean? Were the supplies being sent not arriving on time?I studied Jacob’s face, noticing that he had simply absorbed what Thomas had said without reacting. “How long since your last complete delivery?”I glanced between the men once more, trying to see if either of them would react to what Thomas was saying.“Twenty-six days.”Drew frowned. “Records show nine.”Thomas stared at him. “Then your records are wrong.”Jay walked toward the shelves. Most were nearly empty.“What arrived nine days ago?” Jay asked.“Bandages

  • Kingdoms Reign   The Reports Say Otherwise

    The farther we traveled from the capital, the more the kingdom changed. The roads narrowed first. Then the buildings.The enormous houses disappeared. Stone walls gave way to wooden fences. Perfectly maintained fields became uneven stretches of farmland.Nothing looked terrible. That was almost worse. Because from the mansion, everything I’d heard about supply problems had sounded abstract. Numbers. Reports. Delayed funding.Words people could discuss around a polished table. Out here, those words had houses attached to them. People. A roof covered with patches.A fence leaning so badly someone had tied it upright. A woman carrying two buckets of water from a well. Children running beside a field in clothes that had clearly belonged to other children first.I looked at Jacob. He was staring out the window too.“You knew?” I asked.His eyes moved toward me. “Some.”“How bad?”“Depends where we go.”“That isn’t an answer.”“No.” He looked back outside. “The reports don’t always match re

  • Kingdoms Reign    I Won’t Lie

    I found Drew the next morning exactly where I expected him. Coffee in one hand. Laptop open. Hair still slightly messy.Completely unaware that I had spent an embarrassing amount of time deciding how to apologize to him.He glanced up as I stepped into his room. “Morning.”“Morning.”His eyes stayed on me. I stayed near the doorway. This was stupid. I had confronted the king at dinner. I had challenged an entire succession tradition within my first week of discovering I was royalty. I could apologize to one man. Probably.“Can we talk?”Drew closed his laptop immediately. “Of course.”That somehow made it harder. I walked inside. He waited.“I talked to my father.”Drew’s expression changed slightly. “Okay.”“About you.”“Less okay.”I smiled despite myself. “He told me he asked Jacob and Jay about me too.”Understanding crossed his face. “Ah.”“Yeah.”“And he told you I refused to answer the other question?”“He did.”Drew nodded.I shoved my hands into my pockets. “So…”“So?”“I mig

  • Kingdoms Reign   Something You Can’t Prove

    Drew didn’t come to dinner. I noticed immediately. Jacob did too.“Where’s Drew?” I asked, finding my seat.My father glanced up from his plate. “Working.”“Still?”“There was an issue with the southern reports.”Of course there was. I stabbed a piece of potato harder than necessary. Jay didn’t comment. Jacob looked between us. Apparently my face had become extremely readable since arriving.“What happened?” I asked.“Nothing.” Jay coughed.I glared at him. His mouth twitched.Jacob frowned. “That’s becoming contagious.”“Apparently.” Jay smirked.My father looked at me. “Did you speak with Drew?”That got my attention. “About what?”My father paused. Too long. My stomach tightened.“About the council.” He finally continued.I slowly put down my fork. “You knew I was going to?”“No.”“Then why would you ask that?”My father’s expression became more careful. “I assumed the subject would eventually come up.”I stared at him. “Because you’ve been asking Drew about me.”Silence. Jacob sto

  • Kingdoms Reign   Nothing Left to Hide

    I avoided Jay. Not because I was angry with him. Because I didn’t want him to be right. There was a difference. I went to the library instead. Then the gardens.Then somewhere behind the west side of the mansion where I discovered a stone path I hadn’t seen before. I walked until my feet hurt. My brain refused to shut up.Drew hadn’t lied. Not exactly. He’d omitted something. Something important. Something he knew might change how I saw our relationship. That bothered me.But he’d also refused to discuss my romantic feelings with my father. That mattered. And everything he’d said lined up with what I already knew. So why did I feel sick?Because Jay had known. That was probably it. Jay knew there was something Drew hadn’t told me. He’d had the perfect opportunity to twist it.Instead he’d said—Ask Drew.I sat beneath a tree. Great. Now I trusted Jay because Drew had kept something from me. That seemed healthy.“Running away?”I closed my eyes. Of course. Jay.“Do you have a tracking d

  • Kingdoms Reign   Assigned to You

    I didn’t sit. Drew closed the door behind us but left it partially open. I noticed. After Jay, everyone apparently understood doors had become a thing. Drew walked toward his desk. I stayed near the couch. “Well?” He rubbed a hand over the back of his neck. “Your father started asking for my help years ago.” “I know that part.” “At first it really was mostly design work. Presentations. Public projects. Things like that.” “And then?” “And then he realized I’m good at seeing problems people miss.” Drew sighed. I waited. “So I started sitting in on some meetings,” he continued. “How many?” I asked. “A lot.” “Define a lot.” “Most of them.” I stared at him. “You sit on the royal council?” “Not officially.” “Oh, excellent. That’s much less significant.” “Eliza.” “You told me you’re a graphic designer,” I snapped
