Lyra

I stared at the withered flower pinched between Nadia's fingers. "Where's this from?" she asked, tilting her head, a smile playing at the edge of her lips. Her dark eyes glinted with amusement as she turned the brittle petals over and over.

I felt my skin crawl under the weight of her scrutiny. My heart rate spiked. I swallowed hard against the urge to snatch the flower from her grasp, to cradle it against my chest like the precious, secret thing it was.

"You sentimental little thing," she

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    421 Come To Me

    Sera"Fuck, you're standing!"She stared back at me, a hint of confusion in her unfathomable eyes. I took a slow step closer, not wanting to startle her. Amara stood there, watching me, waiting.Water dripped from my skin onto the stone floor. I could feel the heat of the cavern seeping into my bare soles, warming my feet. Amara's gaze followed a droplet of water as it rolled down my shoulder blade to my breast. I stopped. She looked up at my face again, her head tilted slightly, but she didn't move.I shook my head in disbelief, then broke into a genuine smile. "You need to come here," I told her, my voice soft and warm. "I want you to walk to me. Can you do that?"Her brow furrowed in confusion. I could see the gears turning behind her eyes as she tried to understand. Her attention flickered between my outstretched palm and my face. When she still didn't move, I stretched my arms out to her in invitation.Amara looked at my hands for a long moment before finally taking a tentative s

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    420 Fuck You're Standing

    SeraMy eyes snapped open to find a pair of eyes staring back at me, mere inches away, too close, too intimate. For a moment, my mind didn't register whose gaze met mine. But then my heartbeat slowed, the shock receding, and I blinked, bringing the face into focus. Amara."Fuck, what?"The curse died on my lips as my heartbeat returned to something resembling normal. "Amara, you trying to give me a heart attack?" I groaned, scrubbing a hand over my eyes.Sweet hell, she'd slept right next to me. Not in the little bedroll I'd set out beside my own, but right in the fucking mattress. I'd heard nothing all night, no stirrings, no swaying of the bed. I'd been so sure she'd stay in her own space."Morning, you little scamp," I murmured, reaching out to brush a few errant strands of hair from her face. Amara tilted her head, her eyes unfaltering. "Still not talking, I take it?" I sighed when she didn't respond, not that I'd expected her to. She just kept staring.I glanced down at her, tryi

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    419 Not Like Her

    Lyra"It's been a while since we've had a crowd," I said. "Nice to have some company."Nadia smiled at me like it was an inside joke between us, and for a second, I felt a rush of affection for her. Then doubt crept in, a worm burrowing under my skin. She leaned back in her chair, one arm draped over the back of it. Her other hand played absently with a curl of her hair. It reminded me of how she looked when we were alone together, relaxed and easy. But this morning, in this room full of people, she seemed different. Her smile wasn't quite as warm, her laughter a half-beat off. It was a subtle thing, but I knew her well enough to notice.I started to turn my attention back to the person speaking across from me, Gero or Rennick, I never could tell them apart, when my father spoke up."Lyra," he said, and I snapped my gaze to his. "Why don't you give Odile a tour of the castle later? Nadia looks a little down this morning and could use cheering up." I frowned slightly, unsure what to mak

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    418 I'm So Hungry

    LyraThe guards cleared their throats and announced, "Miss Nadia Voss."I froze, my fork hovering over the plate. I looked up to see her standing there, and my heart skipped a beat.Nadia never came through the front door. She always went straight to my room, a habit that had become as natural as breathing. The dining room was on the opposite side of the castle from my quarters. Seeing her here, now, in this public space, was utterly unexpected. It wasn't that I had forgotten she was coming. It was that she had never once, not in all our time together, walked through that door.Odile's head snapped up, her eyes locking onto Nadia's figure. A slow smile spread across her face as she turned to me, and I could see her nose twitching slightly as she breathed in, catching a scent on the air. Her smile widened.I felt my cheeks flush as she leaned in close, whispering, "Is that your girlfriend?"I whipped my head around, checking to make sure no one else had heard. My father and mother were

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    417 A Father, And A King

    Lyra"We should eat," Odile said, already sliding into the chair beside me.Father cleared his throat behind me. "Lyra, is that any way to greet your old man?"I winced at his deliberately fatherly tone. My mood soured. I turned to see him flashing that same annoying, knowing smile. "What, you can't even spare a hello for your favorite parent? Surely you can't hate me that much."A laugh bubbled up in my throat, bitter and sharp. I swallowed it down with a tight mouth. No use getting dramatic in front of strangers. I crossed to him with measured steps, sank into a shallow curtsy. "My king.""Better," he said, cupping my elbow, pulling me up. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm famished."I watched him for a moment, trying not to stare too long. It still didn't feel right, having him here, surrounded by the warmth of this makeshift family. I turned to my mother, who hadn't looked up once since I entered."Mother?" I called.No response. She shoveled food into her mouth with single-minded fo

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    416 Dinning

    LyraI stepped into the dining room, expecting the usual tedious affair, my parents, myself, and a handful of sycophants vying for my father's attention. Instead, a dozen unfamiliar faces greeted me, all eyes trained on the doorway I had just entered through.Odile stood immediately, beaming. "Lyra!" she called, already crossing the room toward me.I stared, bewildered, as she closed the gap and pulled me into a fierce hug. My whole body went still for a beat before I caught myself and hugged her back. "What are you doing here?" I asked, my voice coming out more breathless than I meant it to."Oh!" Odile laughed, releasing me from her embrace. "My brothers and I decided to pay your father a visit. The boys have been dying to see him."I glanced toward the table, taking in the two men Odile referred to as her brothers. They were visibly older, their faces lined with maturity and experience. It didn't add up. Odile talked about them like they were still boys, but they looked like grown

  • 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
