Marcus came to the east block the following morning with no coffee and no pretense and sat on the floor because there was only one chair and he left it for me.

That told me more about the nature of the visit than anything he said in the first five minutes.

I sat in the chair. He sat with his back against the wall and his long legs stretched out in front of him and his hands resting on his knees, and he looked like a man who had spent the night making a decision and had arrived here as the concl

  • My mate chose my sister    Chapter Fifty-Six- The Silver Wolf Runs Free

    Three weeks into the north, I went into the forest alone.Not on the morning run. Not with Davan or Aurora or any of the quiet, unhurried presence of the pack's daily rhythm that I had been learning to move within. Alone. In the late afternoon, when the winter light was going gold and horizontal through the spruce and the pack grounds had settled into the particular quiet of the hours between the day's work and the evening meal.I told no one.That was new too. In the Blackwood pack I had not gone anywhere without calculating who was watching and what the forty-minute monitoring rotation was doing and whether the groundskeeper's path was clear. Here I simply walked out the estate's north door and into the trees and there was no one who required notification and no route that needed to be cleared and no monitoring that cared about my movements within the territory.I walked for twenty minutes.Then I shifted.She came up immediately.Not the careful, suppressed emergence of the east bl

  • My mate chose my sister    Chapter Fifty-Five- Training

    I slept for fourteen hours.I know because Aurora told me when I emerged from the east-facing room at half past eight in the evening, slightly disoriented, standing in the corridor outside my door with the specific, dazed quality of someone whose body had finally taken what it needed without asking permission. She handed me a bowl of soup and a piece of bread and watched me eat both of them standing in the corridor without comment."Better," she said when I finished."Better," I agreed."Good. Ethan wants to start you on morning runs tomorrow. Six o'clock. He will not be offended if you're late the first morning because he does not expect anyone to be functional on the first full day, but he will be quietly pleased if you're not." She took the bowl back. "I'm telling you this so that you can decide what you would like to accomplish."I was at the courtyard gate at five fifty-five.The Northern Fang pack's morning runs were nothing like the Blackwood pack's drills.The drills I had wat

  • My mate chose my sister    Chapter Fifty-Four- Sophia's Reckoning

    This chapter does not belong to me.I was not in the Blackwood estate when it happened. I was in a room with east-facing windows and a view of the northern forest and my eyes closed for the first time in forty-nine days without counting anything. I was finally, genuinely sleeping.But Lily found out. She always found out. And she told me later with the specific, careful precision she brought to things she understood I needed to know but that she also understood were not entirely mine to receive, handing me the account gently, the way you handed someone something fragile.So I am telling it the way it was told to me. At a remove. But fully.Sophia's rooms after the proceeding had the quality of a space that was being maintained impeccably in order not to reveal what was happening inside it.She had returned from the west hall to the Luna suite, which she still occupied pending the formal investigation, and she had dismissed her attendants one by one with specific instructions for the e

  • My mate chose my sister    Chapter Fifty-Three- Back at Blackwood

    I was not there to see what happened after.I know it from Lily, and from Marcus, and from the pieces that traveled north through the channels that had been established before I left and that continued after I did. I know it the way you know things that happened in a place you once lived and have since left, at a slight remove, filtered through other people's accounts and the specific distortion that distance and time apply to events.But I know it.The allied packs began withdrawing within the hour.Not all of them, not dramatically, but the three delegations who had come furthest and had the most developed political relationships elsewhere began their departure preparations before the formal proceedings had fully concluded their administrative aftermath. They were courteous about it. They cited prior commitments and travel considerations and expressed their formal regards to the Blackwood pack with the exact quantity of warmth that was appropriate for a pack that had just received a

  • My mate chose my sister    Chapter Fifty-Two- Her Room, Her Rules

    Aurora left me at the corridor's end with the practical efficiency of someone who understood that certain arrivals needed to be completed alone."Ethan will come," she said. "Give him ten minutes. He's dealing with departure logistics and he takes them seriously because he is constitutionally incapable of delegating anything he considers his responsibility." She said this with the fond exasperation of a sister who had been watching this particular trait for twenty-two years. "There is a bathroom through the left door. There is a small sitting area by the window. The fire has been laid but not lit. I expect you can manage a fire.""I can manage a fire," I said."Of course you can." She pressed my arm once. "Ten minutes."Then she was gone, her footsteps moving back down the corridor with the same unhurried energy she brought to everything, and I was standing in front of the door at the end of the hall alone.I opened it.The room was not what I expected.I had been expecting something

  • My mate chose my sister    Chapter Fifty-One- The Pack That Waited

    The door had been opened by a woman in her fifties with silver-streaked hair and the specific, assessing calm of someone who had been awake for a long time and intended to remain so.She did not introduce herself immediately. She looked at me for a moment in the way that people who were genuinely interested in what they were looking at looked at things, unhurried and direct, taking in the whole of me before settling on my face. Then she stepped back from the door and gestured inside with the ease of someone who had done this exact thing, opened a door at dawn to a person who needed somewhere to be, many times before and had long since stopped making a ceremony of it."Come in," she said. "I've put tea on."That was all.I came in.The interior of the Northern Fang estate was warm in the way that places were warm when they had been warm for a long time, not the warmth of a recently lit fire but the settled warmth of stone that had been absorbing heat for centuries and had learned to ho
