My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian 294 Just Live!
Sera"You've got enough of your own to be going on with."Her eyes dropped. To my middle, to the flat of my stomach under the wool, and held there a beat, and came back up to my face."You've got a bigger problem than me."And there it was. The reason I'd come. It came up the back of my throat all at once, and the look on her face, that flat, knowing drop of her eyes to my belly and back, landed on me as something close to a smirk, like she was enjoying the size of the hole I was standing in.I crossed the floor and grabbed her by the sleeve before I'd decided to move."Why would you do it?" Both hands fisted in her sleeve, and I don't fully remember taking hold of her. "I told you. I came in here and I told you. I put it in your hands, and you went straight to him with it. Why."She leaned back from me, frowning, off-balance with my grip pulling her."I don't understand. Sera, I don't know what you're talking about.""The girls saw you." My voice was climbing and I couldn't get under
My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian 293 Enough Of Your Own
SeraI'd been standing outside Mina's door long enough that my feet had gone cold through the slippers, and the room behind it was as dead and dark as it had been the night before.I'd knocked. Twice, soft, then once with the side of my fist, and nothing came back. The hearth-light didn't move under the door the way it would if a fire were lit. I'd put my palm flat to the wood and listened the way I'd taught myself to listen in this place, for a heartbeat, for breath, for the shift of a body on a mattress, and there was none of it. She wasn't in there. She hadn't been in there all night. I'd lain awake in my own bed turning it over until the turning wore a groove, and the groove only ever ran to one place, which was that Mina had gone down those stairs in a coat and taken my secret to my husband, and that was why Fenris had looked at me the way he'd looked at me and then walked out and not come back.I put my forehead against her door for a second. Then I pushed off it. There was no p
My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian 292 Every Variable
ElaraThree Years Ago.There was a clock in that room I never once found. You could hear it ticking somewhere behind the paneling, steady, and I spent a good part of that last night hunting it along the walls with my eyes instead of listening to the man across the table tell me how to take a stranger's life apart.He didn't mind. Aldric never minded where your attention wandered, as long as you ended up where he'd already decided you would. He poured the wine himself, both glasses, no servant in the room to do it for him, and that's the thing about him I still haven't shaken. You brace for that kind of man to be all edges. He isn't. He's warm, and gentle with it, and the warmth is the worst part of him by a long way.I'd like to say I sat there horrified. I didn't. I'd done my horror weeks before, in a colder room, with my family's lives laid out on a table between us, and by that last night the loud part of me had gone quiet and useful. The woman he was describing didn't have a name
My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian 291 Our Boy
Elara"Are you lonely?"The question caught him clean across the jaw. I saw it land before he covered it, the small flinch, and then the cover came down fast and smooth."No." He gave me an easy grin. "Why would I be lonely? I have everything a man could want, right here in this room."I smiled back at him, and I didn't argue, because I didn't need to. Eyes don't lie. Mouths do all day long, but eyes are stupid, honest things, and his had already told me. And for one moment, standing under his fake sky in his too-much room, something turned over in me that I think was pity. He'd done this to himself. Built his own cage with his own hands and locked the door and threw out the one person who made him want to live, and now he stood in the wreckage of it trying so hard to be happy, reaching for the joy he'd murdered, hoping if he danced under enough stars it would come back."You're the happiest person in this room," I said.I didn't mean it as a knife. That's the part that surprised me.
My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian 290 A Cultured Child
ElaraThis room, all of it, the carved crib and the blue walls and the tiny folded clothes, was the price of Sera. He'd thrown her out for a child. That was the whole of it, stripped down. He didn't love me. I'm not a stupid woman and I never told myself otherwise. He loved her, the omega, the one who'd waited six years, and he'd given her chair away and marked the wound with a baby that was supposed to fix everything.An heir first. Everything a man feels comes after. Those are the rules wolves break themselves on, and back home I used to think people were the foolish ones. Then I met wolves. They'll tear out their own hearts for a custom and call it strength.He'd been suffering since she left. I'd watched it. The shadows that don't leave his eyes, the way his hand drifts to the old scar on his collarbone when he thinks no one's watching, pressing it like it aches. He chose duty over the only thing he loved, and the thing he chose instead of her was me. A human. A lie in a borrowed
My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian 289 The Last Nail
ElaraHe kept his hand clamped over my eyes the whole way down the corridor, and I let him, which tells you exactly how deep into this I'd gotten. Letting a wolf walk me blind through a house full of his own kind.His other hand sat at the small of my back, steering. He smelled of cedar soap and under it the thing I never get used to, the wet animal warmth of him that closes my throat if I think about it, so I didn't think about it.I counted steps instead. Twelve. A turn. The give of a different rug under my slippers, thicker than the hall runners. Somewhere off to the left two of the house wolves went quiet as we passed, the way they all go quiet now, watching the floor and waiting for the storm to move on."Stop here," Kane said. He turned me by the shoulders, squared me up to something. I could feel space open in front of me, a room with air in it. "Don't open them yet.""They're closed. Your hand's still on my face.""I know. I'm enjoying it." There was something in his voice I h
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
