My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian 401 Old Grief in a New Face
BramI stepped into the dining room with a practiced smile, careful to keep the weariness from my eyes. Taya was already seated, a vision in candlelit silk, her hair unbound. She stood as I entered, a smile breaking across her face. "Father," she said warmly, crossing the room to embrace me.I kissed her cheek, breathing in the delicate scent of rosewater. "Daughter. You look beautiful tonight."Her arms tightened around me for a heartbeat longer than usual, and I knew I shouldn't press my luck. "Thank you," she said, pulling back. "I'm so glad you could make it tonight. I know you have a lot going on."We took our seats at the table, and the servants brought in the first course, a consomme of wild mushrooms with a hint of thyme. I took a sip, studying Taya across the table. Something about her seemed different tonight, warmer, like she was glowing from somewhere underneath."I ordered this myself," she said, as if reading my thoughts. "Mama always said it was her favorite dish when s
My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian 400 The Greyhollow Letter
BramThe letter lay open on my desk, its contents already seared into my mind before I'd finished reading it twice.Elder Kael, Greyhollow Estate.I am pleased to report the successful completion of the latest ore batch. Our yield is a record, twelve and a half percent silver content. The market has continued to climb, prices now at a shilling and two pence the ounce. The batch runs to fifteen thousand ounces of pure silver. Total value, eighteen thousand silver. I await your further instructions on the claim.Yours, Osric.I laid it aside and reached for the ledger.Numbers, leverage, exits. Those were my gods now. The only ones who cared whether I lived or died. I flipped through the neat, cramped pages until I found the entry for Greyhollow, and my jaw tightened before I'd even finished reading it. Forty percent of the claim had been sold off to some buyer I'd never heard of, before I ever took Kael's face. Sixty percent remained.There was no name against the sale, only a mark I d
My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian 399 The Chiefs Asked Me To
SeraChief Vane stood outside my door, his knuckles rapping against the wood so softly I almost missed it. "Luna, may I enter?" he called through the thick oak. His voice sounded polite enough, but I could hear the unease behind it."Enter," I called back, and I made myself sound steadier than I felt. I stayed seated in my chair, facing the door as Mina stood silent guard at my side.When Vane stepped inside, whatever confidence he'd mustered in the hall outside seemed to leave him. His shoulders stiffened as he scanned the room, taking in my darkened private chambers. His eyes touched briefly on Amara where she stood near the hearth and moved on without pausing, the way a man's gaze passes over furniture he already expects to find there. The only light came from a single candle burning beside me, and it cast long shadows across his face.He bowed his head in greeting, my title falling stiffly from his lips. "Luna."I studied him, trying to read his mood. Vane was an older wolf with s
My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian 398 Say Something
SeraI'd lost count of the separate ways Mina had made her point tonight, because I'd stopped listening to the words hours ago. What I heard now was the raw edge in her voice, worn hoarse from talking over my silence.Underneath the counting was the thing I couldn't get away from. Taya was still going to be standing in that ring in the morning, no matter what Mina said, or how she argued it.Amara sat on the floor by the hearth where I'd left her, knees drawn up, watching the pair of us. Her eyes went to whichever of us was speaking and stayed there until the other one started. Neither of us had said a word to her in hours."Are you clear on how that oil actually works, Sera? It's not a spell. It's a seal, and it only holds while you're still. It thins when you sweat. It breaks outright when you bleed." Mina's hands went out at her sides. "Do you want to be standing in a dirt ring with your own blood on you and every wolf in Ironmaw close enough to smell what's in your belly?"I said
My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian 397 He’s Coming
TayaI turned the page over. There was nothing on the back of it.I picked up the next one.Kael.I'm waiting.And the next.Brother,It's been six weeks. I've sent three men and none of them come back with anything but the word that you're well and busy.If I've offended you, say so and I'll take it as it comes. If something's wrong, say that instead and I'll come. But don't leave me sitting up here reading trader gossip about my own blood.They went on like that, shorter each time. My uncle's hand stayed neat all the way through, but the letters got thinner, four lines and then three, and I could feel the man on the other end of them getting quieter and less certain, and then finally not asking anymore at all.I sat with the last few of them in my hands and something turned over in my chest.He hadn't answered.My father, who had spent three months riding out to the outer camps in the snow telling anyone who would stand still that the treaty was a knife in the North's back, who had
My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian 396 Just Send It
TayaThe paper was good. Thick, pale and expensive, the kind of stock you use when you want the man on the other end to know what you can afford. Nothing like the scratch paper my father kept in the top drawer for household accounts.I didn't recognize the hand at all. It was nothing like my father's cramped, angry scrawl, but upright and even with every letter finished, the writing of a man who had never once been in a hurry when he sat down to write.I read to the bottom of the first page before I found out who he was.Vidar Sarn.Uncle Vidar. My father's brother.I sat back. I couldn't remember the last time anyone had said that name out loud in this house. There was a summer when I was small and a man's hand had come down toward me, and a laugh I couldn't put a face to anymore, and then nothing after that. He'd gone out of our lives at some point and nobody had ever explained it, and I'd stopped asking somewhere around the age I stopped asking my father for anything.There were nea
My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian 09 Talking To No One
SeraNight fell fast, and with it, the temperature plummeted. We had three fires going, but the heat didn't seem to travel more than six inches past the flames. I sat on a log by the middle fire, pulling the wagon fur around my shoulders, shivering so hard my teeth were literally clicking together.

LyraShe ignored me. She dropped to her knees, her hands sliding down to the waistband of my trousers. She shoved her fingers inside the fabric, gripping my hips tight. With one sharp pull, she dragged the pants and my underwear down to my ankles. I stepped out of them, kicking my boots off in the

Lyra"Tell the girl to step into the room," he said."Leave her out of this," I said. My voice came out as a pathetic, raspy whisper. I cleared my throat, trying to find some spine. "She didn't do anything. It was my idea to come in here.""Tell her to step into the room," he said, his eyes going d

LyraThe voice didn't belong to Nadia. It didn't belong to me. It came from the metallic object resting directly behind my hip.Nadia froze. She pulled her mouth away from me and yanked her fingers out of my body. She stood up quickly, wiping her wet mouth with the back of her hand, her chest heavi
