Eric's Regret

It was already long after the last of the guests had gone when I eventually made my way out of the main hall. The servants remained as they slowly cleared the very last tables in the room. It appeared no one had remembered to turn down the music because someone had done that and turned it off altogether.

    Eric's RegretERICIt was already long after the last of the guests had gone when I eventually made my way out of the main hall. The servants remained as they slowly cleared the very last tables in the room. It appeared no one had remembered to turn down the music because someone had done that and turned it off altogether.The only thing that could be heard now was the sound of a glass being clinked very rarely and the low murmur that would come from a group of people working together in the kitchen wing. I went all the way down the corridor of the main building that faced the east side until finally I reached the small terrace which provided a view over the training ground below. I stood with both of my hands resting on the cold stone of the railing, and I looked for a very long time down the empty spot on the field.The memory arrived without permission.Sherry was the center of attention at the hall a year ago, with the pale blue dress that she had selected, thinking that it wo

    The First Night BackSHERRYThe moment I came back to the main hall, the music was playing a quieter piece compared to the previous one. Most of the young wolves were already moving into the adjacent rooms or going outside to the lawn. Some elderly wolves had stayed near the fireplace, speaking in low tones that they usually used when the public part of the evening was over. Waiters, in their habitual manner, moved between tables, taking away the empty glasses and stacking the plates that were still holding roasted meat and half-eaten pastries on them.Camilla was by the entrance, and with that same smiling face, she was saying thank you to a departing couple. Viktor could be seen in the middle of the hall, discussing something with two of the senior warriors. Eric could not be seen; Jax and Adrian were also not to be seen. The lack of their presence had a tangible quality, after they had shown so much attention for such a long time.I crossed the floor without stopping. I received

    Chapter 10 SHERRYViktor located me beside the side corridor that gave access to the rooms away from the noise in the pack house.The main hall was still quite warm and full of sounds from the evening, whereas the corridor felt chilly, being lit by the wall sconces turned low."Sherry." His voice carried low. “One minute."I turned and went into the small study of which Viktor had always been more fond than anyone else. The door clicked softly as it closed between us while the party carried on outside.Inside, we heard only the clock ticking slightly on the mantelpiece. Viktor remained standing.Close to the writing table with hands slightly folded, he was observing me as it used to be the case when he was younger, and he was trying to judge if I told him just what he wanted or not."Speak to me, " he said.“About what?”“About the two Alphas who spent half the night looking at you like the rest of the room was background.” He kept his tone even. “I am not asking as Alpha. I

    JAX VS ADRIANSHERRYCamilla reached us first. She took in Jax at my side with a quick, practiced smile and then glanced past him toward the group of elders still speaking with Adrian.“Perfect timing,” she said. “Alpha Adrian has been asking about the shared trade routes along the northern stretch. Viktor will want both of you in the conversation. It looks better if the visiting Alphas are seen discussing borders rather than standing on opposite sides of the room.”Jax’s expression did not change. “Lead the way.”We crossed the floor together. Conversations near us quieted by degrees as people registered the direction we were walking. Adrian finished whatever he had been saying to the eldest of the council and turned as we approached. His gaze moved from Camilla to me, then settled on Jax with the calm of someone who had already calculated the meeting and was simply waiting for it to arrive.The air between them tightened without either man raising his voice or shifting into open agg

    JEALOUSSHERRYThe air near the open windows was cooler than the rest of the hall. I stood with one shoulder against the stone frame and let the night settle against my skin. The music continued behind me. Conversations rose and fell. I could still feel the residual attention from the dance floor, but the immediate pressure of Adrian’s questions had eased.Footsteps approached from the side. I knew the rhythm before I turned.Eric stopped a few feet away. Close enough to speak without raising his voice. Far enough that anyone watching would see he was not forcing the distance.“Sherry.”I looked at him. The expression he wore was careful, as if he had rehearsed the opening and still did not trust it.“What do you want?”He opened his mouth, closed it, then tried again. “Can we talk.”“We are talking.”“Privately.” He glanced once toward the main floor, where Camilla was still occupied with Adrian and a small cluster of elders. “Away from all of this.”“No.”The single word sat betwee

    THE DANCESHERRYThe song stretched longer than I expected.Adrian kept the same measured distance he had started with, one hand light at my waist, the other holding mine without pressure. Around us the floor filled and emptied in slow turns. Camilla’s voice drifted from the edge of the room, bright and strategic. Viktor stood near the elders. Jax remained where he had been, a fixed point against the far wall. Eric had not moved far from the champagne table.Adrian looked at me the way someone looks at a map they have studied in private and are now checking against the real terrain.“You used to stand in corners,” he said.It was not a question.“I preferred them.”“I know.” He turned us once, clean and unhurried. “The girl who kept a book in front of her face so the pack would forget she was there. The one who left the hall early every time the music got loud. That girl does not exist on this floor tonight.”The specificity landed harder than a general compliment would have. He was
