Sera

I bit back my first response, glancing around to make sure we weren't drawing any attention. The mounted men were all looking at Fenris, their faces pale in the torchlight. I turned back to Mina, speaking through gritted teeth.

"I swear to the gods, if he had told me early enough, I would have let you know. I just found out the same way you did. Now. Here. In the yard."

Mina stared at me for a long moment, her eyes searching my face. I let her look. Let her see everything I wasn't saying.

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    377 I’m Tired

    LyraI stomped from the dining hall to my room, the soles of my boots pounding against the stone floor with each angry step. Stomach tight, jaw clenched, I felt like I would burst from the pressure building up inside me.Every night it was the same, dinner at seven, a rule my father never broke. It was almost as if the illusion of a family meal erased the reality of what he was, what he'd done. He was a monster in a mask of civility, a butcher in a three-piece suit, and I couldn't stomach it anymore.The door slammed behind me as I entered the room, plunging me into darkness. The last dregs of daylight seeped through the window, casting a faint, fading glow on the wooden floorboards.A low-lit lamp, which I was certain I had not turned on before I left for dinner, cast long shadows on the walls, dancing across the intricate tapestries hung there.The soft, golden light of the lamp did little to comfort me, instead only serving to highlight the oppressive darkness that had settled over

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    376 Catching Me In The Woods

    Fenris"You would do the same.""Oh, sure I would," he said, but he sounded thoughtful, not teasing. "You're right, I probably would. But then, I'm not the one with a pregnant wife and a pack that thinks I'm chasing raiding parties. I'm not the one who knows Sera's carrying someone else's child and married her anyway.""I didn't tell the pack about the Lycans because they think it's just a party. I'm not letting them lose their heads over nothing.""Over nothing?" Dimitri's eyebrow went up. "You think it's nothing?""No." I was irritated. "I know it's not nothing. But I'm not going to turn them to something I haven't figured out myself. And I'm not letting them find out about Sera's child before I tell them myself.""Because you're planning to tell them.""No, because I'm planning to keep them from finding out." I sounded as bitter as I felt. Dimitri reached out and pulled me into his shoulder. I went, even though I didn't want to, and his arms closed around me like a trap."Fenris."

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    375 You Would Do The Same

    FenrisI found a spot away from camp, no fire, just the cold and the dark and the quiet. I sat down and let out a long breath, already relaxing. Five days on the road, and we'd made it to the southern ridge, but it felt longer. It felt like I'd been carrying this for centuries.The weight in my chest, the guilt I couldn't shake, the memories I couldn't escape. The men were settling in for the night, joking and boasting over the fire, testing each other. Ossian had tried to pick a fight with Jace over a dice game, and Yvara had to step in before it went too far.Then Dimitri spoke up. "A long journey, brother."I didn't open my eyes. "Was quiet for a while," I said without turning, then Dimitri sighed. "You know, if we didn't live like such savages, we wouldn't have to ride for days in this cold.'""You were Alpha once," I said quietly. "You never complained.""Because I knew there was no changing Father. But you're Alpha now. You could change this law."I was quiet for a long time, no

    Fenris "...and may the gods of war have mercy on his soul."I smirked. The gods didn't give a damn for anyone's soul.The two of them were back up, circling each other, hands up, snarling like dogs. Ossian came at him with a wild swing, and Fenn caught the arm and yanked it down, trying to flip the bigger man onto his back.Ossian caught himself, and the two of them were tangled together, fighting for grip.I watched them, half amused, while Jace stared like a man seeing a wild bear for the first time. His eyes were wide, and I could smell his heartbeat. I wasn't sure whether it was fear or excitement. He didn't know this kind of fight was good for the pack.The crowd had formed a full circle now, a dozen men on each side, all shouting, and the two fighters in the center. The fire crackled and spat, and I could smell the roasting meat, the smell of the forest and the pine trees and the fresh air.I could smell Jace, a strange scent for these woods, like smoke and citrus and salt.The

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    373 May The God’s Have Mercy On His Soul

    FenrisThe sun sank fast in these parts, going from sky to darkness in a blink. I called the stop at the edge of a clearing where a creek ran through, and the men were off their horses and moving in a second. I'd made ride like this a hundred times, and there was no need to tell them what to do.The smell of pine and sweat hung heavy in the cold air as we worked. Ossian and Fenn hauled up a fallen tree to make firewood, cursing as they dropped the heavy trunk and sawed through the branches. Jace and a few others made short work of the tents, but the Southerner was moving a little slower than the rest, hands numb from the cold and the long ride."You good?" I asked him as I unsaddled my horse."Yeah, just need to warm up." He nodded at the others. "How long before they're done?"I shrugged. "Depends how much they want to eat."Ossian and Fenn dragged a deer carcass through the trees, gutted and hanging by its legs from a pole, and the argument started as soon as they dropped it near th

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    372 You’re Going To End It

    SeraMina's grip on my arm was painful as she yanked me out of the hall and into a narrow storage nook beside the kitchen. The space was dim and dusty, smelling of old grain, and not quite big enough for both of us. The door scraped shut behind us, and Mina turned to face me. For a long moment, she just looked at me, hands clenched at her sides, and I wondered what I was in for.I broke first, still running hot from the confrontation. "Fucking Taya," I muttered, shaking my head. "I know, right? I was already getting tired of that stupid fucking grin of hers, but I never would have thought she'd actually call a duel. That sneaky bitch."I rolled my eyes at the memory and glanced up at Mina, who still hadn't spoken, waiting for some kind of response. But there was nothing on her face, just an absolute stillness, and it unsettled me.She slapped me.I felt the shock of the slap before I registered the sting of it. It came out of nowhere - Mina had her arm out and her hand cracking across

    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
