The blood bear attack slowed our progress; we had missed a full day, and both Zander and I knew it.

We rode through the rest of the night, the next day, and into the twilight of dusk… then… we crested a hill, and just over it was my new home.

Before us stretched an entire kingdom unlike anything I had ever imagined; dusk had settled over the land, painting the horizon in shades of violet, rose, and molten gold. The fading sunlight clung stubbornly to the world below, as though even the sun was

    The blood bear attack slowed our progress; we had missed a full day, and both Zander and I knew it. We rode through the rest of the night, the next day, and into the twilight of dusk… then… we crested a hill, and just over it was my new home.Before us stretched an entire kingdom unlike anything I had ever imagined; dusk had settled over the land, painting the horizon in shades of violet, rose, and molten gold. The fading sunlight clung stubbornly to the world below, as though even the sun was reluctant to leave this beautiful place. Countless lights flickered to life throughout the kingdom, not from lanterns or torches, but from glowing blossoms that bloomed along winding streets, climbing the sides of buildings like living stars.My breath caught.The city appeared carved from moonlight itself.Towering spires rose toward the heavens, their surfaces shimmering as stone and crystal fused. They curved impossibly high, twisting like the branches of ancient trees rather than the rigid

    Zander snapped his fingers, and I watched as the walls of the tent disappeared and the freedom of the outside air rushed to meet me, to soothe the sweat still coating my skin. "You're safe, my lady." Zander's voice came as a near whisper."Odessa," I replied. "Call me Odessa, Zander." I gripped his forearm as he hauled me to my feet, letting me stretch my now worn, sore muscles. Pushing my hair from my face, I looked down at my sweat-soaked tunic, then back at Zander. Before I could ask if there was a stream nearby I could clean up in, he snapped his fingers, and not only were my clothes changed, but my skin was fresh, smelling of wildflowers and soap."Thank you," I squeezed his arm again. "You are most welcome, Odessa." He bowed slightly, snapping his fingers once more, making a table and chairs appear; each side had large plates of kedgeree, steaming, fresh… delicious.My stomach growled as he urged me to sit. Suddenly, a porcelain cup appeared, steaming hot with chamomile tea.

    Crickets sang into what I could only assume was dusk. Zander had let me sleep the day away, but as I sat up and stretched, my whole body felt better than it had in a very long time. I was completely, utterly at ease. "Zander?" I called out slightly, grimacing at the sound of my voice. "My lady?" Zander called from the outside. I stood and shuffled my way out of the tent, mesmerized by the moment I stepped out, and the orange and purples of nightfall pierced my still waking eyes, and for a moment I wondered if this was even real. I felt so close to freedom, yet somehow, I was still shackled to the past, and it felt like I was running as hard from those memories as I could, but would never escape them. "My lady?" Zander spoke again, and it was then that I realized I had been gawking at the setting sun just as the fireflies began to dance and the crickets began to sing. "Is this real?" I slipped, letting my fear of opening my eyes and being greeted by the fall from the cliff roll

    I wanted to thank Zander after our feet touched the stairs, but I didn't. I was so fearful that if I spoke, it would burst the bubble surrounding us. I didn't speak; I barely took a breath until we left the manor entirely. Once the night air reached my lungs, I flared my nose and pulled in lungfuls of the clean, crisp air as Zander clicked his tongue, and two horses walked toward us. One deep and dark, just like the night. The other reminded me of an Oreo cookie, speckled and sweet. I was still certain that bubble would rupture if I spoke, so I stayed silent as Zander helped me mount the sweet oreo colored mare."We have a long way to travel, my lady. Let me know when you need to stop for a stretch." I nodded as Zander clicked his tongue, and both horses headed into the night. We traveled in silence for what felt like hours before I was convinced the bubble of freedom that I had found myself wrapped in wouldn't burst. Then, I finally spoke to Zander again. "Tell me about my husban

    I collapsed against my chamber doors, breathless from holding myself together during the mating ceremony. The truth was that my heart was ready to burst, despite knowing in my marrow that I had made the right choice; the rage and the grief were still eating me alive. Standing, I collected myself and began pulling clothes from the closet to take with me when Jenelle and Bria knocked on the door and entered, carrying trunks to pack my things. My head was swimming watching them rush to pack my belongings. In my past life, this process had been slow and methodical. I had chosen carefully what to take with me. This time, it was done in a rush, from memory. Within thirty minutes, I was packed, and those trunks were rushed to the carriage that had brought the Wolf King's representative. I thought of Zander and how courteous he had seemed. Surely, the king and his people must be kind; none of the fae in Theron's pack had ever treated me with the kindness and respect Zander had shown me in

    “My lady!” One of my lady’s maids, Jenelle, rushed to my side, pulling me to my feet as her face blanched with pallor. Jenelle tried to rush me to my chambers but I refused, knowing that if I crossed paths with Theron right now I would kill him. “I’m fine, Jenelle.” I assured her, trying to dry my face as a swelling rage tore through my body.“My lady, you’re flushed.” She placed her pale, shaking hand on my forehead as that swell of rage grew louder, ringing in my ears.Before I could tell her I was fine for a second time, the clock tower chimed, signaling I had twenty minutes before I was to be expected in the ball room, the place where the clans had gathered, waiting for the moment that their rulers may leave with a wife.My fists tightened in my tulle skirts as memories of this moment in my past life flooded me. The last time, I was dancing around my chambers with excitement when that clock tower chimed, readying myself for the moment to come, the moment I knew I was going to ch
