Caius

I sat at the head of the table and waited for them to realize I wasn't joking. It took three minutes of silence for the air in the room to turn heavy. In the Ironblood pack, when I stop talking, people usually start praying.

"Item four on the agenda," I said. My voice was low. I didn't need to yell. I never needed to yell.

Elias, the lead steward, shifted in his seat. He looked at his tablet, then at the other three men sitting around the mahogany table. "Item four is the quarterly Omega

  • REBORN TO BREAK YOU   CHAPTER 44: THE DOCUMENT

    SennaThe first ray of morning sun sliced through the dusty air of the records room, landing on a stack of reports."Alright, Senna," I whispered to myself, my voice barely a breath. "Time to make this count."I moved through the tall shelves, my fingers tracing the spines of binders. Military treaties, trade agreements, land disputes. "Here we go," I mumbled, pulling out a thick binding labeled 'Diplomatic Arrangements – Ironblood/Ashveil'. This was it. I carried it to a small, worn table. My heart beat a bit faster, a nervous flutter I tried to ignore. "Just breathe. It's just paper."I opened the binder. The annexation documents were on top, all official and neat. Below them, was another sub-file. It was smaller, tucked right underneath, almost hidden. 'Mating Arrangement – Alpha Caius Ironblood & Alpha Aldric Ashveil.'"Okay. You found it," I told myself, my voice so low it was almost just a thought. "Now, what does it say?"I opened the sub-file. The paper felt heavy, important,

  • REBORN TO BREAK YOU   CHAPTER 43: THE NIGHT IT BREAKS 

    SennaI wasn’t supposed to feel happy here. Not really. But the warmth of the fire, and the sound of people laughing, it got to me anyway. My chest felt a bit too full, a bit too open, and that was a dangerous feeling.We got that forest land back, the one everyone fought over for so long, and the air in the great hall felt loud and light. Everyone was talking, smiling. It was real. This joy. And for a second, it felt like mine too."You look like you're about to crack a smile, Senna," Lyra said, her own laugh bubbling up. She was piling a plate high with roasted meats and some sweet fruit, her eyes sparkling like the fire. "Careful, it might hurt your face."I just rolled my eyes, but a little smile did tug at my mouth. I couldn't help it. "Don't push it, Lyra. Someone has to be the sensible one around here." I liked Lyra. She was easy. She didn't ask too many questions about why I was always a bit, well, guarded. She just let me be."Sensible just means boring on a night like this,"

  • REBORN TO BREAK YOU   CHAPTER 42: HE ASKS SOMETHING REAL

    SennaThe air was cold. My feet made almost no sound on the walkway. Then I heard him. No, not heard, felt. A quiet shift in the air, maybe. Or just the way I was wired now. He was coming from the other side, just as alone, just as early. Caius. He looked tired. Like he hadn’t slept much, or maybe like he’d been up for hours already, thinking his own dark thoughts. “Morning,” he said, his voice a low rumble in the quiet. “Morning,” I replied. My voice felt small. It always did when it was just him and me, and the world was this quiet.We started walking again, somehow, in the same direction. It wasn't planned. It just happened. Neither of us said anything for a long time. “Do you miss your life before this?” he asked.The question hit me like a stone right in the middle of my chest. It was so direct. So real. My steps didn’t even falter, but a little piece of me did. The safe answer was easy. "No." Or, "It doesn't matter now." But he wasn’t asking for the safe answer. He was asking

  • REBORN TO BREAK YOU   CHAPTER 41: THE PATIENT WHO TALKED

    SennaI think the dead have a way of making the living talk. It’s the only way I can explain why a man I don’t know just gave me the key to a murder. He didn't even know he was doing it.“Sit down on the stool,” I said. “The light is better over here.”The man groaned as he sat. He smelled like old dust and wet horse. He was a merchant, the kind that carries silk and spices between the big packs. His clothes were nice, but they were covered in mud from the road. He held his right arm against his chest.“It’s the wheel, healer,” he said. “Stupid cart wheel caught a rock two miles back. I tried to brace it, and then... pop. I heard it pop.”“Let me see,” I said. I reached out and took his hand. It was warm and thick. His wrist was already turning purple. “I’m going to move it. It will hurt.”“Go ahead. I’ve had worse. Once, in the southern marshes, a goat bit me so hard I... ow! Mother of wolves, that’s sharp!”“It’s a bad sprain,” I said, keeping my voice flat and calm. I liked being a

  • REBORN TO BREAK YOU   CHAPTER 40: WHAT AELA KNOWS SHE FEELS

    Aela My hands shook. Just a little. Not from fear, no. I wasn't scared. But my blood felt hot, buzzing under my skin. Like something big had just finally dropped into place. Like all the pieces I’d been chasing were finally fitting.I held two things. In my left hand, the crinkly paper from Senna. In my right, a feeling. A feeling about Senna. A feeling I had been trying to pretend was just normal. That it was just about work. But it wasn’t. Not anymore.Theron walked in. His boots made soft thuds on the old wood floor. He had that careful look on his face, the one that meant he knew I was deep in thought. He didn't talk much, Theron. "Here," he said, holding out a sealed envelope. "Just came in from the north post. From Senna."I swallowed. The paper in my left hand felt even heavier then. I took the envelope. My fingers brushed his. He watched my face. "Thanks, Theron," I said. My voice was a little rough. I didn't mean for it to be. "You can go."He nodded, but he didn't leave r

  • REBORN TO BREAK YOU   CHAPTER 39: VERA AND DAX

    SennaI heard my name and my heart got very quiet. It was Vera. She was talking to Dax in the hallway. I stood very still behind the corner of the stone wall."I am just worried about the supplies, Dax," Vera said. Her voice was sweet, but it felt like a trap. "Senna is very good at her job, but the logs she writes down do not match what she actually uses."I could hear Dax shift his feet. He was being quiet. He was being careful. "What do you mean they don't match?" he asked."The dried bark," Vera said. "The stuff she gets from the eastern market. She orders way more than the sick people here actually need. I notice things like that. I thought you should know because you are the one who keeps us safe."There was a long pause. I held my breath. My chest felt tight. "What specifically about the bark?" Dax asked."The infirmary records," Vera said. "If you look at how much she gives to the patients and how much she brings in, there is a lot missing. A lot of bark just stays in her roo
