The ground underneath me was solid, but I wasn't cold. I woke up to the steady, heavy thud of a heartbeat directly against my cheek.

I kept my eyes closed for a long moment. I inhaled slowly. The air around us was thick with the humid heat of the hot springs, but right against my nose, the scent was pure Fenris. Sharp mountain pine, cold iron, and that dark, spicy musk that belonged entirely to him.

I realized I was lying completely flush against his side. We were still in the hidden garden

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    508 Let's Feast Luna

    SeraI turned to find Vidar standing by the bare shelves, his fingers trailing over the rough stone. There was an airiness about him that belied his imposing frame, a casual ease that made him seem almost friendly."When I first heard of a Southern girl ruling Ironmaw as Luna, I couldn't help but ask myself what in the world the Alpha was thinking," he said, turning to face me. His gaze was steady, the corners of his mouth twitching upward in amusement."I have never made it a thing to judge people I don't know," he continued with a shrug. "But there it is." He ran his hands along the empty shelves, his eyes roving over the bare room. "Riding here, I expected nothing but a pretty face. Women of the South can be very beautiful, because why else would an Alpha go that far for a mate?"The edge in his words was sharp enough to raise gooseflesh on my arms, but I kept my expression blank. I knew what he expected of me, what he thought I'd be: a dainty, delicate thing, all soft curves and e

    SeraVidar's low voice cut through the sounds of Rurik's grief that filled the kitchen. "Luna, I'd like to speak with you alone."I nodded, casting a last glance at the room as I left. The cloak draped over Taya's still form on the table. Rurik huddled on the floor, his sobs echoing off the stone. Amara, Mina, and Vane stood in stunned silence, eyes fixed on the alcove where Taya lay. Amara moved as if to follow me, but I stopped her with a small shake of my head.The passage was dark and cold, empty of the usual bustle of servants. Vidar's men stood guard at the doors, their broad shoulders blocking the frigid air from the open courtyard. They watched me pass with narrowed eyes and curled lips. I suppressed a shiver, both from the chill and their hostility.At the end of the hall, Vidar stood before the door to Kael's study, his hand resting on the latch. He pushed it open slowly, his movements deliberate. I stepped past him into the room, and froze.The desk was bare, its drawers pu

    ElaraMarcas knocked, his knuckles sharp on the wood. Kane's deep voice called from inside, "Come in."The door swung open and Marcas and Delia stepped through. I slipped in behind them, staying back, my eyes on Kane behind the desk.He looked up, taking us in, one by one. His gaze lingered on me a beat longer. I knew he was thinking I had called them, and I didn't care."Hey there, Kane. How are you holding up?" Marcas asked, his voice smooth as honey. "Pack's doing alright?"Kane answered with a short nod. "Fine, thanks. Pack's good." His focus was on me."We heard it's been a scorcher out there today. I was just saying to Delia, haven't we had some heat waves these past few summers." He cleared his throat. "Speaking of, I think I heard you're planning a little trip up North real soon?"Kane's expression turned flat. "Yeah, I am." His tone said that was the end of it.Marcas smiled again, casual as could be. "So, Elara might as well come stay with us while you're away, what do you t

    ElaraI didn't move after I said "Sure". I listened to Kane's footsteps fading down the hall, my whole body frozen. It wasn't until I couldn't hear him anymore that the shaking started.I felt it first in my hands, a terrible trembling that wouldn't quit no matter how tightly I squeezed my fists. I sat down hard on the edge of the bed, shoving my quaking hands between my knees. But that didn't make them stop.I'd been counting the days until he left, desperate for that window of freedom. Him gone was my way out, south, to find my real family, to find Aldric. But now I was going with him. North, the wrong damn direction. Nothing was going as planned.The image of his face burned into my brain, the way he looked at me when he said it. So goddamn calm, like I was nothing. Like I meant nothing. I'd been handling that man for months now, wearing the right smile, saying the right words. That was not the face of the man I'd been handling. My stomach heaved violently.I pulled my phone from m

    KaneElara pulled in a deep breath, squaring her shoulders. Her fingers stilled, and she fixed me with a firm stare. "Kane, please. I can't go North with you, not after... not now. The cold up there could kill me."She looked like she might be sick. I leaned back and crossed my arms over my chest. "You're stronger than that. You'll survive.""But what about the pack?" She was talking faster now, the words tumbling out. "If we're both gone, Mistwood will just walk right in. No one will be here to stop them. We can't let that happen, Kane. Not now, when we're already so...""Callum can hold the pack," I interrupted. "He's young, but he's smart and he's loyal. We have a good chance with him."Her mouth tightened. "A good chance? But it's not certain. And that's not good enough. We can't risk everything because you want to drag me on some fool's errand."I raised an eyebrow. "It's not a fool's errand. I'm going to find Jace and get help from Ironmaw." My voice was even, calm. "You know th

    Kane"I need to talk to you about something," I said, coming back into the bedroom. Elara was still by the window, staring out at the trees. I set the scroll case down on the bed beside her. She glanced at it, then at me."What's that?" she asked. Her voice was easier to hear than it had been in days."From Silas. It carries Ironmaw's seal. It'll get me through their gate and into the Alpha's hall, no questions asked." I sat down on the bed and ran a hand through my hair. "I've been thinking a lot about Jace."Elara looked at me properly for the first time in a week. I saw curiosity in her eyes, and something else, something brighter. "What about Jace?""It's been weeks, and nothing. That's not like him. And Mistwood is bleeding us dry every month, like they think we're made of money. I don't know..." I shrugged. "Maybe the North can help us with that. But sitting here isn't working."I expected her to flinch away, to stare back at the wall. But she didn't. She stepped closer. "So you

    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.

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

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
