Sera

I watched the stubborn defiance vanish from her eyes, instantly replaced by stark, naked terror. She stared at me, her chest rising and falling rapidly as the reality of my threat settled onto her face. She knew I wasn't bluffing.

After a long, suffocating silence, her shoulders slumped.

She let out a shaky sigh. "Fine."

Irina rubbed her temples. "But how am I supposed to get the ingredients I need? The ritual requires very specific things. I need thick leaves. I need dark soil. There is no

    FenrisSera leaned back into me then, relaxing incrementally. Some of the tension drained from her slender frame. I breathed her in, holding her close.She scrunched her nose at me. "Ugh, you stink. You need a bath.""I'll go wash." I would have liked nothing more than to wash the road from my skin. And sleep for a week."Not yet." She grabbed my shirt, pulled me back. "I don't want to let go yet."I pulled her close again. "I missed you."She teased, wrapping her arms around my neck. "Say it again.""I missed you," I said, gruff as hell."Oh, I missed you too," she said softly. "I missed you so much."Her hands slid under my coat, up over my chest, and I felt my blood start to warm. I tipped her chin up and kissed her slowly, savoring the familiar feel of her lips. She bit my bottom lip and I hissed at the sting."Missed you," she said lowly, looking up at me from under her lashes. "Missed this."Her mouth was hot on mine as she kissed me again, harder, hungrier. Her tongue slid alon

    FenrisI reached Sera and took her face in my hand. "Sera.""Welcome home, Alpha," she said, loud enough for the yard to hear. Then quieter, under the noise, "You look like you've been dragged behind your horse for three weeks.""Rode hard.""I can smell that. And I can smell the horse too."I grunted."You're early," she said, her thumb stroking my wrist."Missed you.""I missed you too." Her fingers curled around mine. "I was on the wall watching for you."I turned us to face the chiefs, still hand in hand. My wolf was still pushing up, wanting out. I clamped down on him and held Sera's hand tight.I looked along the line of chiefs drawn up to greet me home, my fingers laced tight with Sera's. Chief Vane stood at the end. The place between Thorne and Vane was empty. I kept my face still.Vane came forward first. "Welcome home, Alpha," he said, his eyes as grave as ever. "We've missed you." He gripped my forearm and I returned it, saying nothing. The other chiefs came next, a swift p

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    525 Talk. Too. Much.

    FenrisThe heavy gates of Ironmaw swung open ahead, ushering in a familiar cheer from the pack waiting beyond. My horse's hooves clicked on the icy road as I guided him through the gate, Sera's presence warm under my ribs.Jace fell in beside me. "So what was it really, huh? We had to walk all night to get home to a hot meal and your old lady?" I glanced at him, mouth sealed, and he half-grinned. "Come on, brother.""You talk too much," I said."Hey, I'm just curious," Jace protested. "You can't blame a guy for wanting to know what makes Ironmaw run.""Talk. Too. Much," Yvara said behind us, her flat voice louder than usual in the sudden din.Jace twisted in his saddle to look at her, chuckling. "Alright, alright. What're you going to do first, when we get in?""Same as you," I said."Well, I'm thinking hot meal, then Mina," Jace mused with a laugh. "Or maybe just Mina. Oh, but a bath too. That'd be nice. Hmm, so it's a real toss-up between food and a girl. What kind of man am I?"I t

    SeraMina held my gaze a moment, then looked away. "Alright." She nodded. "Alright, Sera."I turned to leave. Amara was leaning over the table, her nose inches from a pile of chopped carrots. Mina pushed a bit toward her. Amara sniffed it, then took it delicately between her fingers and ate it, watching Mina with curious eyes. Mina laughed."Don't eat my carrots," she scolded, picking up her knife again. "Go find your own snacks, you weird girl."It was early afternoon, a few hours after I sent for the search parties, when the men rode in through the gate.I watched as Vidar rode into the yard, snow coating his dark coat. He dismounted his horse with practiced ease and brushed the flakes from his hair. "Luna," he said, offering me a small smile. "I appreciate your call to return. More days in this cold would have been... difficult."I returned his smile, measured and polite. "I couldn't let you miss the Alpha's homecoming."Vidar nodded thoughtfully. "No, of course not. Luna, where wo

    SeraI crunched across the snowy yard, Amara padding barefoot behind me in her usual silence. I'd been making this trip every morning since the search began three days ago, asking the gate guards if any of the riders out looking for Kael had sent word.The guard, huddled in his furs, gave me the same answer he always did. "Nothing, Luna."I sighed through my teeth, lowered my hood and scanned the road. Still empty. Fenris had been gone three weeks now. Three weeks that felt like an entire season.I missed him.A shout went up from the wall and the guard's head snapped up. We both looked toward the road. A rider was galloping in, snow spewing from the hooves of his exhausted horse.Instantly I was hot and cold all over. The rider came flying in, reined up short, and nearly fell out of the saddle. The guard and I reached him at the same time.The man, lean and tall, bowed his head to me. "Luna."I grabbed the man to steady him as he nearly collapsed in front of me. "Hey, breathe," I sai

    ElaraKane pulled me through the border market, holding tight to the hand now marked by the gold band. I tried to dig my heels in, to make him stop. I didn't care that people were staring."Let go of me!" I yanked hard against Kane's grip. A sob tore from my throat. "Leave me alone! I'm not going!"A porter balancing a load on his back stepped into our path. "Excuse us," Kane said, and the man veered aside.I tried one last time to pull free, twisting my wrist. Kane let go and I stumbled back, catching myself against the rough wood of a stall. I glared at him, backing up, searching for a gap to escape through. But the crowd closed in.My back slammed against a rough-hewn wood plank. I faced Kane, breath punching out of me with each ragged gasp. My legs gave out and I slid down, landing hard on my ass. Still glaring up at him, I snarled, "Get away from me! I'm not your fucking pet, you know.""You're whatever I want you to be," he said quietly, keeping his gaze locked on mine. "Now, ge

    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.

    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
