Senna

My feet are smarter than my brain today. They are taking me exactly where I am not supposed to go, and I can’t make them stop walking.

"Go back, Senna," I whisper to the dirt. "Just turn around and look for the herbs. You need the blue flowers for the sick boy. You don't need this."

But my legs don't listen. I am forty feet past the edge of the Ironblood border and the forest starts to look different. The trees here are thick and old. They haven't been chopped down for wood or cleared for

  • REBORN TO BREAK YOU   THE LAST NIGHT BEFORE

    Caius"Are you still here?" I asked, walking into the infirmary late. I didn't need to ask, of course. I knew she'd be here. Senna looked up from a pile of reports. Her eyes were tired.I sat in my usual chair, the one by the window. It had become my chair. I didn't say anything else right away. She didn't either. The room just felt quiet, but not the bad kind of quiet. I watched her for a bit. She was writing something down, her brow a little crinkled. She had a way of focusing that made you feel like nothing else mattered. I felt that sometimes too."My mother died when I was fourteen," I said. It just came out. I wasn't planning on saying it. I hadn't said it to anyone in a long time. I hadn't wanted to. Senna stopped writing. She looked at me, really looked. "My father died six months later," I went on. "Not from grief. He trusted and he was too soft." She just watched me. Her face was calm. Senna just listened. "I ran the pack for three years before I was old enough to formally c

  • REBORN TO BREAK YOU   CHAPTER 63: DAX'S LINE

    Senna"I’m going to be direct with you," Dax said.He didn't knock. Or say good morning... he just walked into the infirmary and shut the door behind him. The sound of the latch clicking felt very loud in the quiet room.I didn't stop what I was doing. I was organizing the little glass bottles of willow bark and mint. My hands were steady, even if my heart was starting to beat a little too fast. I didn't look at him yet."You are usually direct, Dax," I said. "It is one of the things I like about you.""Set that down, Senna," he said. His voice was not mean. It was just very flat. "This isn't a medical visit. I didn't come here to get my self checked."I set the bottle down. I turned around and wiped my hands on my white apron. I looked at him. He was standing by the door with his arms crossed. He looked tired, but he also looked like he had finally solved a puzzle and didn't like the outcome."Okay," I said. "I am listening.""I have enough now," Dax said. He stepped closer to the ta

  • REBORN TO BREAK YOU   CHAPTER 62: WHAT LYRA SEES

    Senna"He’s different when you’re in the room," Lyra said.She didn’t look up from the little white notes she was putting on the medicine jars. She just said it. The sun was coming through the high windows of the infirmary. I kept my head down. I was busy crushing dried leaves into a fine green powder."Who is?" I asked. I knew who she meant, but I wanted her to stop talking.Lyra gave me a look. It was the kind of look a teacher gives a kid who is pretending they can't read a big word. "You know who," she said.She smoothed a note down with her thumb. She was very careful with her work."The Alpha," she said. "Caius. He looks like he’s paying attention differently when you are there. Like the room gets smaller when you walk in. Like everyone else is just a blur and you’re the only thing with clear lines.""He is the Alpha, Lyra," I said. I tried to make my voice sound like my heart wasn't beating too fast. "He has to pay attention to everything. That is his job. He watches the doors,

  • REBORN TO BREAK YOU   CHAPTER 61: CAIUS COMES HOME

    CaiusThe air in the compound tasted weird today. Nothing was out of place, but everything felt really wrong. I looked at the gates and wondered who had died while I was gone.Dax met me at the entrance. He looked the same. His uniform was tight. His face was a mask of discipline. He held a tablet in his hand and stood tall. This was the man I trusted most with the security of the Ironblood pack."Alpha," Dax said. He bowed his head just enough to show respect but not enough to look weak. "The patrol inspection went well?""It was routine," I said. I didn't look at him. I looked past him at the courtyard. "Anything to report here?""Nothing, sir. The North gate had a small issue, but we fixed it by noon. All patrols are back.""And the administration building?" I asked. I don't know why I asked. My feet wanted to walk that way.Dax blinked. "Everything is normal there. The clerks left an hour ago. Why do you ask?""The air feels heavy," I said. I started walking toward my quarters. "D

  • REBORN TO BREAK YOU   CHAPTER 60: THE OFFICE

    SennaCaius left at dawn, and I have six hours to become a thief. If he catches me, I am dead. If I do not do this, everyone else stays dead."You are staring at that bandage like it is a map," Rhea said.I looked up from the infirmary table. My hands were holding a roll of white gauze. I had been sitting there for ten minutes without moving. "Is it that obvious?" I asked."You have been weird all morning," Rhea said. She leaned against the medicine cabinet. "Is it because the Alpha left for the patrol?""I am just tired, Rhea," I said. I tried to make my voice sound flat. "I did not sleep well.""I think I need to go to the administration building. We are running low on the heavy sedatives and the manifest is over there. Caius said the files were updated."Rhea frowned. "Can’t that wait until tomorrow? You look like you’re going to faint.""No," I said. I stood up. My knees felt a little bit like water. "If I don’t do it now, I’ll forget.""But okay. Do you want me to come with you?"

  • REBORN TO BREAK YOU   CHAPTER 59: WHAT GROWS BETWEEN

    SennaI woke up that morning feeling like I was in two places at once. Few days left until the big thing, and everything in the compound felt too real, too close. I had to keep going, but it was getting hard to hold it all in.The day started normal, with me checking on Lyra in the training yard. She was getting better, her moves sharper since I showed her that new hold. "Hey, Senna, watch this," Lyra said, grinning as she flipped her partner. "Better than last time?""Yeah, way better," I said, clapping. "Keep at it, and you'll beat anyone." Lyra's confidence was growing, and it made me smile, but inside, my mind was racing. The mission countdown ticked in my head, while I acted like just the healer here. Rhea caught up with me later in the hall, chatting like always. "Senna, you look tired. Did you sleep?" she asked, bumping my shoulder."Not much," I admitted. "Been working on that fever treatment." Rhea nodded, her eyes curious. "Want help? I can mix the herbs." We talked about it

    Senna"If I get caught, they will kill me. Not just kill me once, but kill me until there is nothing left of this second life."I sat at the small wooden desk in my room. The candle was short and the flame was shaky. I had a piece of paper in front of me. I needed to see the whole plan in one place

    AelaThe letter did not have a fancy seal or a stamp from a royal house. I was standing by the big map in the strategy room when Theron walked in.“It’s here,” Theron said. He didn't move past the door. He just held a piece of paper in his hand.“What is it?” I asked. My voice sounded a bit thin.“

    SennaSilence is a scary thing when you know someone hates you. It was a Tuesday afternoon when I realized. I was in the kitchen area looking for Lyra. Usually, Lyra is there to help me."Rhea, have you seen Lyra?" I asked. Rhea was busy cutting a big pile of meat."She is not here, Senna," Rhea s

It is a job, but it is also a secret. He sits in his big chair and I sit on a stool and the room smells like
