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
REBORN TO BREAK YOU CHAPTER 38: HE CHANGES SOMETHING
CaiusI 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 work assignment review, Alpha. Is there a budget adjustment? We were hoping to get new equipment for the kitchens.""No budget adjustment," I said. "There is a structural change.""What kind of change?" Kellan asked. He was my oldest advisor. He had served my father."From today, Omegas are no longer the default for maintenance and kitchen labor," I said. I leaned back, crossing my arms over my chest. "The mandatory menial hours are being cut by sixty percent for every Omega in this compound."T
REBORN TO BREAK YOU CHAPTER 37: WHAT RHEA KNOWS
SennaRhea has been acting weird for three weeks. Every time I look up from my herbs, she is staring at me with big, nervous eyes."Do you need something, Rhea?" I ask. I am counting dried lavender.Rhea jumps. She is holding a long piece of paper with our supply list on it. Her hands are shaking just a little bit. She looks at the door to make sure no one is coming in. The infirmary is quiet today. It smells like old dust and sharp vinegar."Can I ask you something personal?" Rhea says. Her voice is very small."You can ask," I say. I don't stop moving my hands. I have to keep my hands busy or they start to shake too."Do you know anything about the Ashveil Pack?" she asks. "The one that was taken over about two years before you got here?"I feel a cold shiver go down my back. I know Ashveil. I know it because I died there. I know the way the Great Hall felt when it was burning. But I can't say that. I am Senna now. I am just a healer who came from somewhere else."I know of it," I s
