Sera

I'd been standing outside her door long enough that a girl carrying linens had passed me twice, and both times I'd pretended to be looking at something on the wall.

There was nothing on the wall. Grey stone, a torch bracket, the same as every other length of this keep. I'd ordered a man's death with less hesitation than it was taking me to lift my hand and knock on a door I'd walked through a hundred times. I knew the room on the other side. The narrow bed, the vanity with its polished iro

    SeraI grabbed onto her. Both hands on her arm across my chest, gripping hard, and I couldn't make myself let go."I'm sorry." I was crying. "I'm so fucking sorry, Mina. I'm sorry. I keep... I keep hurting you and you keep being here and I don't deserve it. I don't deserve you being here.""Shut up," she said into my back, soft. "Shut up. It's fine.""It's not fine.""It is. Shut up. Stop talking."I couldn't stop. "I used you. I kept you in the dark and I used you and then when I was scared I turned against you and I thought you'd sold me. You. The only person who—""Sera." Firm. "I said shut up."So I shut up. I stood there and held her arm across my chest and cried with my face wrecked and my nose running and absolutely nothing composed about any of it. She held on. We stayed that way until the breathing evened out and the fire had burned down to a lower sound and the guard's shadow had passed the window twice more.She let go first. Came around to face me. She had been crying too,

    Sera"That's not fair.""What's not fair is getting your shoulder fucked up by the person who's supposed to be your sister." She said it to the mirror, flat and even. "That wasn't so fair either.""I know.""Do you.""I came here to say I'm sorry.""Great. You said it.""Mina, come on.""No, I heard you. Sorry. Noted." She picked up the comb again. "Anything else?"The air between us went thin and hot. I could hear the fire and my own breathing and the small scraping sound of the comb through hair that didn't need combing."What do you want me to do," I said. "Get on my knees? Crawl? What is it going to take for you to actually look at me?""I'm not stopping you.""I do mean it.""You mean it how you meant it last time. When you said sorry and then spent ten minutes telling me why you were right.""I'm not doing that.""You're already doing it. You walked in here with a compress and a speech and you're waiting for me to accept it so you can feel better. That's what you do. You manage

    SeraI'd been standing outside her door long enough that a girl carrying linens had passed me twice, and both times I'd pretended to be looking at something on the wall.There was nothing on the wall. Grey stone, a torch bracket, the same as every other length of this keep. I'd ordered a man's death with less hesitation than it was taking me to lift my hand and knock on a door I'd walked through a hundred times. I knew the room on the other side. The narrow bed, the vanity with its polished iron mirror, the smell of lavender soap and whatever she burned to keep the damp out. It was a room I'd been safe in, and that was the problem. The last time I'd been in it we'd torn something open and never closed it, and I'd let the weeks since do the closing for me, which meant it had never closed at all.My hand wouldn't go. I stood there and watched it not go. There were things I could make myself do, and this was not one of them, and that frightened me more than the door did.I knocked. Twice

    Mina"It's complicated.""It's not, though." He said it gently. He always said the pushing things gently. "It's the simplest thing in the world. I'm not a man who hides. I don't like the hiding. You're not a thing I'm ashamed of, Mina, you're the opposite of that, and I'm tired of the only place I get to have you being a cold lodge two hours' walk from the people who matter to you."The people who matter to you. He'd put it right next to the thing I'd been bleeding about all night, the people who don't see me, the people who count me least, and now here he was, the one who saw me, the one who counted me, and he wanted to stand in the same room as the people who didn't, and let them see that someone did.When he said it like that I couldn't find the edge of the no. The no had been so clear an hour ago and now it was somewhere under all the warmth and I couldn't put my hand on it."You want to meet Fenris," I said."I want to meet your brother." A correction so soft it didn't feel like

    MinaHe was quiet. His chin came down to rest on the top of my head, careful of the shoulder, his breath going slow in my hair. I let myself sink into it. The comfort was real even if the cause was made of nothing."They don't see you," he said. "That's their failure. Not yours.""I know.""You've spent your whole life in rooms where you do the most and you're counted the least." His hand moved on the shoulder, slow circles now, past the working part into something that was only tenderness. "You are young, and already carrying people who'd never once carried you.""You don't know that.""I knew it by your face." A small sound, almost a laugh, cut short before it got going, the same clip he always put on it. "Took me about a minute. A child shouldn't have a face that tired."My mouth tugged toward the wall, where he couldn't see it. My face had been clenched for hours and it hurt to let it go."She's not worth your shoulder," he said. Bringing it back around. "Whoever she is. A woman w

    Mina"What's her name?"There it was. The first place the lie could break open. He wanted a name. Men want a name once they've decided to do something about a person. But the name was the one thing I couldn't give him. Say Sera and he'd have all of it: that the jealous scullery maid I'd built was the Luna of this pack, the Alpha's mate, my brother's wife. I'd spent every day since he got here keeping him away from those people. I wasn't taking the wall down over a sore shoulder."It doesn't matter.""It matters to me.""Jace." I turned my head. He was right there, closer than I'd thought, his jaw a few inches off mine, and his eyes weren't soft, they had that flat thing in them again, the take-a-look-at-you thing. "Leave it. I mean it. You go making noise about some kitchen woman and it gets back around and it's me who has to live in that keep with all of them, not you. You don't have to wake up in there. I do."He held my eyes for a second. The fingers kept moving the whole time, gen

    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
