Sera

I hated the fact that I had to come here.

I walked down the freezing, dimly lit stone corridor of the guest wing. My boots hit the floorboards with a heavy, rhythmic thud. The adrenaline from the council chamber was still surging violently through my veins. My hands were completely steady, but my chest felt incredibly tight.

I had just told Fenris we needed to execute one of his elders and cover it up. I had looked at Kael bleeding out on the floor, his neck snapped and his bone sticking o

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    324 Good Money

    Jace"That's the one."I counted the gold into his palm. No paper. Paper money up here is a joke you tell children, so I'd come north with the real weight of it, and I watched his eyebrows go up at how much."You're sure," he said."On her."He turned his head and called it across to the soldier keeping the other half of the book, and a couple of them close enough to hear laughed at me, the southerner handing his money to the snow."He's putting it on the bleeder," one of them said, delighted."I heard."The old me would've doubled it without a blink and had nothing left in the purse by spring. I count the weight of it now. The only reason I have a purse at all is the stocks my father left me, and I sold the last of those a while back, so the gold leaving my hand is gold I feel leave. I put it on the bleeder anyway. Knowing better has never once stopped me. It only makes me feel worse about it after.The fight went how I knew it would. The body tells you, if you'll listen.The tall on

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    323 The Losing One

    JaceI still couldn't work out why Mina kept going down to the kitchens.She was gone before I woke, second morning in a row, off to work with the cooks and the pot-scrubbers. She didn't have to be. She was the Alpha's sister, half his blood anyway. One word from her and she'd never lift a finger in this place again. But down she went, every morning, and came back smelling of smoke and bread with flour up her sleeves, happy in a way I didn't poke at.The omega thing was the half that wasn't Fenris's. Her mother was a slave brought up out of the south, and in the North that travels straight down the blood. Nothing washes it out, not even an Alpha for a brother. So she got both at once. The protection and the stain. I'd watched it follow her around the keep, the small ways people stood a half-step off her, careful, the respect that stopped a hair short of real. None of them did it to her face. Nobody up here was dumb enough to slight the Alpha's blood where the Alpha might hear about it

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    322 Dread

    Jace"Give me a moment."I turned the pages slower now, and I couldn’t find anything in a straight line. The thing wouldn't let me. Every page I turned had me on a different study of it, and each one stopped me before I could get past it. The figure from the back, the long muscles of it laid in like rope under the skin. The skull alone, big as a horse's and shaped like nothing that grazes. A hand again, opened flat, the claw at each fingertip drawn from three sides so you couldn't tell yourself you'd misread it.Then a run of pages on the inside of the thing, and those were worse. I can't read a word of that book. But a drawing of a heart is a heart, and the heart in those pages was wrong. Too big for the chest it sat in. Ringed around its middle with something the maker had pressed in heavier ink, the thing armored under its own skin. There were organs I had no name for, set where a man keeps nothing. There was a study of the throat opened up that I stopped on and then turned past.

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    321 Give Me A Moment

    JaceThe corridor he took me down got narrower and colder the further we went. I have learned over a long, careful life to pay attention when a powerful man walks you somewhere quiet.He didn't talk on the way. The arm I'd laid across his shoulders had come off somewhere around the second turn, naturally, the moment its work was done. Now he was a step ahead of me, a wall of a man moving through his own house, and I followed, because the only thing worse than following him would have been making him ask twice. The torches got fewer. The noise of the hall fell off behind us until it was a rumor of itself. I counted the doors we passed, the turns we took, the same as I count everything, because a man who knows the way out is never quite as trapped as he looks.We stopped at a door at the end of it. He opened it himself and stood aside and waited for me to go in first, which is not a courtesy. You put a man in a room ahead of you when you want to be the one between him and the door.I w

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    320 I Won’t Say It

    SeraI held her eyes, level. "What do you want, Taya. You've paid your respects. You can go enjoy the rest of your night."The sympathy slid off her like it had never been fixed on. She held my eyes a moment, then she dipped her head, the picture of courtesy again. "Enjoy the feast, my Luna." She turned to go.She got one step and stopped.When she came back around the courtesy was gone off her face. What was under it was quieter than I expected, and worse for being quiet. Her eyes went to me, then to Mina, then back."My father hates you," she said plainly, like she was setting down a fact we both already owned. "He'd have fought you to his last breath. He told me so."I watched her and said nothing."And then." She stopped. Something worked at the corner of her mouth, and for a moment the hate in her had confusion tangled all through it, a daughter who couldn't make the pieces fit."Then he turns overnight. Now he's your dog. Moving through the keep making sure no one so much as look

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    319 What Was That?

    Sera"What?""Do you think your brother would hurt you on purpose? Knowing it would get to you." I held her eyes. "Hurting Jace is hurting you. He knows that. He's not a stupid man and he loves you. So. Do you think he'd do that to you on purpose?"She was quiet for a while. Long enough that I let it sit."No," she said finally. "No. He wouldn't.""Then stop chewing your own hand off."She almost laughed. It came out broken, but it came out. Her shoulders dropped a finger's width. After a moment she reached into the bowl and took a berry, then another, and I let myself feel the small clean satisfaction of having talked one person I loved down off a ledge today. It was more than I'd managed for myself.My eyes went back to the doorway. I couldn't help it. Whatever Fenris was saying to him in there, I couldn't touch it from here, and I made myself not care. There was nothing Jace could tell my husband that would cost me anything. I'd handed Fenris the worst of it with my own mouth three

  • 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
