CONSUMED IN THE TRIPLET ALPHAS' HEAT 185
LiraThe metal clank of the cell door announced Athena before I saw her.She stepped inside.The gold amulet around her neck caught the light, suddenly too bright to look at. Her white robe felt wrong in this place.I stayed on the cot and did not move.She looked me over, irritation and something close to regret crossing her face.“You look terrible,” she said.“Thanks.”My voice came out rough.I waited for the lecture, for the judgment. She stood in front of me and said nothing.After a moment, I asked, “Why are you here?”“To check on you.”I almost asked why. Shouldn’t she be relieved? This was happening to me.“You’re facing execution in three days,” she said. “The brothers are falling apart.”Her eyes traced my face. She shook her head.“I feel like I failed,” she said. “I sensed something was wrong the moment I met you. I didn’t push. I let you hide when I should have forced the truth out sooner.”I looked away.“It wouldn’t have changed anything,” I said quietly. “This was al

Lira They came for me before dawn. Keys rattled outside the cell. Four guards stood at the door. Eyes fixed on me.I’d been awake for hours, back against the wall, watching the other women snore.“Time to go,” a guard said.The cuffs went on. My body moved when they pulled. I felt none of it. They led me through corridors and gates. Voices gathered ahead of us. The yard was already full. Council members lined the platform. Pack mates filled every space behind the barricades. Hundreds of eyes followed me. I kept my head up. I didn’t look at their faces.A raised platform stood across the yard. Guards lined the path to it, spears upright, eyes fixed on me.The crowd surged until wood and iron stopped them. Hands gripped the barricades. Bodies pressed close.An elder stepped past the barrier and spat. The white lump hit the dirt near my feet.I didn’t move.My name moved through the crowd. Low voices. Sharp whispers. I felt them more than I heard them.A horn sounded. The council too

RivenJax pinched his lips together, frustration clear on his face.Kain stayed focused on the texts spread across the table. I was quiet, but I was not unaware that we were running out of time, and that none of us had answers yet.We sat around the oak table with books spread out between us. Some pages were folded. Notes filled the margins where we had stopped to argue or clarify something.Jax stood and poured himself a cup of coffee.“We can’t keep going in circles,” he said. “There has to be something out there. Or we’re chasing solutions that don’t exist.”“Relax, Jax,” Kain said without looking up. “We’ll find something if we keep searching.”“We don’t have time,” Jax snapped. “They’re going to burn her.”“I’m being realistic,” Kain said. “The odds are against us. We barely have anything to work with. We’ve been at this for days, and nothing we’ve found will change the Council’s mind. If we don’t slow down and think clearly, we’ll lose.”“Then tell me when you find something tha

LIRAI barely slept that night.Every time I closed my eyes I saw them. I felt them. I wanted them.And every time I forced myself awake, my body ached with need and my chest burned with the mark trying to break through my control.By morning I felt like I had been run over by a horse-drawn cart. My

"Jax must really like you," Tova said as we walked back to my room. "He doesn't usually bring women here. Like, ever. You're his first."I made a noncommittal sound."Seriously. He doesn't even bring them to his quarters. He usually does his... business... elsewhere." She glanced at me. "So whatever

LIRAI woke up slowly and for a moment I did not know where I was.The bed was too soft. The air smelled different, and cleaner, without the stench of rot and fear that had always clung to Blackwood.Then it all came back and my chest tightened.Wildfangs. The Alpha House. Three mates I could not ha

"Come on,Lira," Tova said gently. "I'll show you to your room."She led me down a different hallway and as we walked I saw pictures hanging on the walls. Portraits of past Alphas. Formal and intimidating and powerful.And then I saw one of the triplets when they were younger.They could not have bee
