My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian 429 Are You Blackmailing Me?
Sera"Fine," Mina said at last. "Take the damn thing.""Thank you."It landed flat between us and changed nothing."So when do you plan on getting that letter from," Mina said, and stopped."Bram," I finished for her.She fixed me with a hard stare, her mouth tight and her jaw clenched."When do you plan on getting it from him, so we can actually read the thing?"I sighed. "It's still morning. I'll send for him soon, and have him bring it over. We can look at it together."Mina nodded slowly, her eyes never leaving mine. After a long moment, she turned away, and said nothing more."I need to speak with Vane," I said, the idea solidifying as I voiced it. "Fenris is not here, and he is the only other chief I can reason with right now."Mina tilted her head, frowning. "You sure about that?"I shook my head, meeting her gaze. "No, but he owes me.""Owes you? That makes no sense." Mina's brow crinkled. "He's the one who saved you from that duel. He did you the favor, not the other way arou
My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian 428 I Want To Meet Your Father
LyraAs the door clicked shut behind us, Nadia strode right to my wardrobe and flung it open uninvited. She knew exactly where to find what she was looking for. I raised an eyebrow at her presumption, but didn't say a word. Let her dig out her own damn booze.She poured each glass until it was brimming with amber liquid, and while she did it she kept right on talking."Strangest damn breakfast I ever had," she said, "all of your father's guards lined up along the walls staring at everyone. You think they'd relax a little. Who's going to try anything in there?"She set the bottle down with a clink, picked up her own glass, and tossed it back in one swift motion. I watched this in mute disbelief. Before I could think what to say, she was rattling on again."And what in hell is going on with Odile's brothers? Gero and Rennick. Those are grown men, Lyra. Grown." She snorted. "I bet they're not that bad. Probably just shy around pretty princess types."Without waiting for a reply she was o
My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian 427 Can I Use Your Phone?
SeraMina's words hung in the air. I kept my face still, eyes locked on hers. It took all my will to hold that silence, to give nothing away. Every muscle in my body wanted to speak, to demand the truth from her. But I would not be the one to break.Mina watched me, searching for some hint in my expression of where I stood. But I'd learned to school my features a long time ago. I gave her nothing.She shifted, fidgeting with the edge of her tunic. I remained utterly motionless, a statue of a woman. The stillness built like a physical force, the tension stretching between us until it seemed to hum in the air.Finally, Mina could bear it no longer. "Are you going to tell Fenris?" she asked, her voice tight and urgent.I met Mina's desperate gaze and gave her back three tight words."Lie for you.""I do not want you to lie, I want you not to tell him the truth!" Her hands shook and her voice came fast and high. "You're my friend, you're a better friend than anyone in my whole life, you'r
My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian 426 Ten Years
SeraMina froze. I frowned. She sighed. "Jace."I stared at her, my mind grasping for purchase. "What do you mean, Jace?"Mina swallowed. "I can still reach him on that thing sometimes. Even out there. It's weak and it comes and goes, but it works enough.""How long have you had it?""He gave it to me," she blurted, the words out before she could stop them. "Years ago. We were kids."My brow knit. "When you were little?" I said slowly. "I thought you two met at the border market a year ago.""We did." She was already talking over herself, hands moving. "We did meet there, Sera, that part is true, I'm not lying about that, it was the market, it was the same market, I just meant that before that we, it isn't..."She ran out.I held her gaze. "But as a kid?"Mina opened her mouth. Closed it again. Her shoulders came down."Please don't tell my brother," she whispered. "I beg you."I stared at her. Jace had known Mina when she was a small child. And he had stood in front of Fenris and me
My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian 425 Who Were You Talking To?
SeraI made my way to the kitchen, phone in hand, thinking through how to get rice without drawing attention to what I was actually doing.Upon entering the warm, bustling space, I scanned the area. A stout woman was working at a counter, chopping vegetables, while a lanky young man stirred a large pot over the stove. I approached the woman."Greetings, Luna," she said, setting down her knife. "What brings you to the kitchen?""I'm hosting a luncheon for Lord Vane and his family," I improvised. "I need a bowl of raw rice. Do you have enough?""Of course, my lady." She wiped her hands and fetched a bowl and a sack of rice from the pantry. Spooning some into the bowl, she asked, "Anything else I can assist you with?"I gave her a warm smile. "No, that's all. Thank you."She bowed her head. "Enjoy your luncheon, Luna."I took the bowl and headed back out, careful to keep my movements natural and unfettered. Once I was alone in the corridor, I slipped the phone down into the rice, burying
My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian 424 I'll Be Right Back
Sera"She's standing, can't you see that??"And then Mina's eyes went wide, staring at Amara. "Oh fuck," she breathed.For a second, it was like she had forgotten all about the phone she was still clutching. But then her face shifted, like she had remembered she was supposed to be panicking about something else. She hissed, turned away from me again, slapping the device in the air and shaking it like a terrier killing a rat.As I watched Mina slap the phone against her palm, water droplets flying, I felt my teeth clench. "It has to work," she muttered under her breath, like saying it enough times would make it true. 'This is what happens when you ignore the real emergency,' I almost said, and bit the words back before they could slip out.I watched her fumble with it, all thumbs, like it was some foreign creature she didn't trust. It never would have looked that awkward in my own hands. Phones like this had been ordinary things where I grew up, in the South, something you carried wi

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
