Midnight Debt: Never His, Always His The Wrong Chair
REINAIt started with the meeting.Not a big meeting. A small one, a routine pack gathering in the main hall where Zaden reviewed territory updates and pack business and everyone sat in their assigned places like the hierarchy was a physical thing you could trip over if you weren't careful.I didn't know there were assigned places.Nobody told me there were assigned places.So I sat down in the nearest empty chair at the side of the room, which happened to be close to where Damian was standing, which apparently was not where I was supposed to be.I figured this out approximately thirty seconds after I sat down, when the entire room went quiet in that specific way that meant something was wrong and everyone knew what it was except me.I looked up.Zaden was staring at me from across the room, cold and completely unreadableI had no idea what I had done but I had clearly done something.I held his gaze until he looked away first.Then the meeting continued.I found out afterward from Le
Midnight Debt: Never His, Always His I Am In Trouble
ZADENI started running at midnight.Not because I planned to. Not because it was scheduled or strategic or part of any particular routine. I just couldn’t sleepThis is the thing about running hard through familiar ground in the dark, it is supposed to clear everything. That's what it has always done for me. Years of using this land as a reset, a pressure valve, a place where everything that cannot be controlled can at least be outrun for an hour.Tonight it wasn't working.I ran the eastern boundary first. Harder than necessary, pushing until my lungs properly burned and the only thing that should have existed was the ground under my feet and the cold air and the dark. The trees blurred at the edges of my vision. My body found the familiar rhythm, the one that usually quieted everything else within the first ten minutes.Ten minutes passed and she was still there.Her voice You don't want me Like a fact she had already made her peaceI pushed harder.Crossed the northern ridge. The
Midnight Debt: Never His, Always His The Bracelet And The Wrist
ZADENI sat in my room for the first time in months.Not my office. Not the meeting room. Not the territory. My room, the one I slept in when I slept, which lately wasn't often, the one that was dark and quiet and had no desk covered in reports and no window facing the garden and absolutely no reason for my brain to keep dragging me back to a hallway twenty minutes ago where I had almost…I pressed the heels of my hands against my eyes.The bracelet was on the bed beside me.I hadn't gone to the drawer deliberately. I didn't even remember picking it up. I just found myself sitting on the edge of the bed with it in my palm the way I always did when everything else stopped making sense, which was happening with an embarrassing frequency lately.I looked at it.Who are you, I thought.Then I kept replaying it.The hallway. Her face. The way she stood her ground even when I stepped forward, even when most people with any sense of self-preservation would have moved back.You don't want me.
Midnight Debt: Never His, Always His He Lost His Control
REINAI didn't go looking for trouble.I want that on record. I was minding my business, doing exactly what I always do, keeping my head down, staying in my lane, existing in this house as quietly and as possible. I was not looking for anything. I was not trying to provoke anyone. I was simply standing in the east courtyard with a cup of tea, enjoying approximately four minutes of afternoon sunlight, when Callum found me."You look like someone who needs a worse joke than whatever's going on in their head," he said, dropping onto the bench beside me without invitation.I looked at him. "That's a terrible opener.""I know. I have worse ones. Want to hear them?"I almost didn't smile. I nearly held it together.But Callum had that particular quality that made it genuinely difficult to maintain a straight face around him. He'd been assigned to the east wing patrol three weeks ago and somewhere between his terrible jokes and his complete refusal to treat me like a piece of furniture, we'd
Midnight Debt: Never His, Always His Something Changed In Him
REINAI kept replaying it.That was the problem. I would be doing something completely ordinary like eating breakfast, watering the garden, folding laundry and then without warning my brain would drag me straight back to the garden yesterday and play it again from the beginning like it was trying to find something it missed the first hundred times.His arm around my waist.The way he had gone completely still. Something that felt less like control and more like a man who had lost it and hadn't decided what to do about that yet.And then his hand, tightening at my waist…I pressed my palms flat on the kitchen counter and stared at the wall and told myself very firmly to stop.I had been telling myself to stop for approximately eighteen hours.It wasn't working.The thing that kept snagging at me was the way he looked at me when he turned around, after I said I need you to decide, which was possibly the most terrifying thing I had ever said out loud to another human being, or non-human
Midnight Debt: Never His, Always His I Went Back
ZADENI shouldn't have gone back.That's the thing I keep telling myself. I went inside after the garden conversation, sat at my desk, opened four different documents, closed all four of them, and then stood up and walked back outside before I finished a single coherent thought about why that was a bad idea.My wolf didn't even pretend to be surprised.She was still there. Same spot, same dirt on her hands, the late afternoon light sitting on her hair like it had specifically decided to make my life more difficult. She looked up when she heard me and something crossed her face, surprise but quickly replaced with that careful neutral expression she'd been wearing around me all week.I hated that expression.I hadn't admitted that until right now, standing at the edge of the garden realizing I'd come back because I couldn't stay inside, but I hated it. I hated the careful. I hated the neutral. I hated that she had decided to give me the wall because somewhere along the way I had given h
