I stood at the balcony and watched Alarick walk to his car, and I stayed watching long after I should have stopped. My teeth had found my lip and pressed down until it went from a habit to a small pain, and I kept them there. There were too many things going at once and none of them would sit still. He'd come here to accuse me, and that hurt worse than I'd let show downstairs. He'd left without proving a thing, and I was glad of that, but I hat

Marked By The Rogue Alpha Chapter 65: The Story He Left Out
MeredithI'd been dressed for a while, yet I was still standing in the middle of the room.I tugged my sleeve straight for the third time. My fingers drifted up to the edge of the mark at my throat, and I made them stop. I'd already decided I was going to look in on him, and now I couldn't get my feet to start, because a small mean voice kept asking whether walking straight to his door the morning after made me look like a woman who couldn't stay away.He was the Alpha. That was the reason. He'd been carried in bleeding, and a Luna ought to know whether the man who led her pack had made it through the night. That was all it was.I left before the voice could talk me out of it.The hallway still wore the night. Someone came the other way with a stack of empty medicine bowls. A guard by the stairs had the grey, sunken look of a man who hadn't slept, and a healer moved past with her steps soft, the way people move when they've spent hours near the badly hurt.I braced for the first guard

Clover I stood at the balcony and watched Alarick walk to his car, and I stayed watching long after I should have stopped. My teeth had found my lip and pressed down until it went from a habit to a small pain, and I kept them there. There were too many things going at once and none of them would sit still. He'd come here to accuse me, and that hurt worse than I'd let show downstairs. He'd left without proving a thing, and I was glad of that, but I hated that I was reduced to being glad of it. Meredith was standing in the middle of us again even now, even from inside another pack's walls. And somewhere under all of it, small and stupid and impossible to kill, a part of me was waiting for him to turn around at the car and look back up at me. He didn't. It was the way he'd looked at me downstairs that stayed. Suspicious. That was the part that got under the skin, because Alarick had never once come to m
Marked By The Rogue Alpha Chapter 63: The Daughter He Protected
AlarickI was already at the doors of House Benic before the servants had them fully open.My hand was flat against the wood, pushing before they'd finished with the latch, and the two of them stepped back with their eyes down and didn't look at me again. They could feel it coming off me. My wolf sat too near the surface, my patience had run out somewhere on the road, and I'd stopped bothering to hide either.I'd driven straight here from the dark stretch where I'd stopped the car. Silverthorn burning at the ridge. Meredith not answering a single call. Clover gone from Bloodmoon the same night, the seat beside me empty when I reached for her out of habit. And that soft patient line of hers turning over in my head the whole way. I have a plan. She'd said it days ago, after the last one fell apart in our hands, and I'd let it pass because I hadn't wanted to think about anything but Meredith. I was thinking about it now.I heard footsteps on the polished floor and turned.Aldric came d
Marked By The Rogue Alpha Chapter 62: The Only One He Could Reach
KieranFor half a second I just looked at her.Then my brow went up. "Did you practice that while I was out?"She glared at me, and she pulled her shoulders back and made her face do offended, but it didn't sit right on her. The glare was a beat too late and a shade too clean, put on over something she didn't want me looking at too closely.I had the sense not to say so.I almost let the corner of my mouth move. Then I shifted my weight wrong, and the wound pulled under my ribs sharp enough that my breath caught, my hand fisted in the blanket and dragged it tight across my waist.She was closer before she'd decided to be. Her eyes went to the bandage first, not my face, tracking the edge of it for fresh blood.She was furious with me. Her body still chose the wound before the argument, and I didn't know what to do with that except feel it make refusing her harder. I let out a breath through my teeth."Who were you holding the pass against?" she asked.I looked away from her. Not becau
Marked By The Rogue Alpha Chapter 61: The Road He Sealed
KieranI didn't answer her right away.I looked at her hand instead. It was resting near the edge of the bed, close enough that I could have reached it without stretching, and that small fact bothered me more than the wound pulling under my ribs. She'd stayed the night in a hard chair. She'd stood in that hall and heard the man laugh from the doorway. And now she was standing here asking me for the truth, and I couldn't hide behind the pain without knowing exactly what hiding would make me in her eyes."You should rest," I said. "This can wait until—"She didn't move. She just looked at me, level, and let me hear how thin it sounded.My jaw tightened, and the pain pulled hard enough that I had to breathe around it before I could speak again. She caught that too. Her anger flickered into worry for a second, the way it kept doing, but she didn't soften enough to hand me the exit."Garron," I said.Her expression shifted, because it was the first real thing I'd given her, and even his n
Marked By The Rogue Alpha Chapter 60: The Name They Buried
KieranI came back slow, and it wasn't gentle.The pain reached me first, a deep drag under my ribs that pulled with every breath. The bitter smell of silver still hung off the bandages. My wolf was awake under my skin, restless and angry and weaker than it had any right to be, scratching at the inside of me for a fight it couldn't find. The lamps were turned low, and for a moment I didn't know if I was in my own bed or still out on the ridge with the smoke in my eyes.Then I turned my head.Meredith was asleep in the chair beside me.Not gracefully. Not arranged the way a soft bedside wife arranges herself for the picture of it. Her neck was bent at an angle that was going to hurt her when she woke, her hair had come loose from whatever she'd done with it hours ago, and one hand was tucked up near the edge of the mattress, fingers half-curled, like she'd fallen asleep reaching for me and hadn't quite made it. There was still a faint smear of dried blood near her sleeve.My blood.Tha
Marked By The Rogue Alpha Chapter 10: A Place No One Prepared
