LUCAS“So you really had been drinking blood from a chicken?” Valerie asked, as she recounted the story I’d told her of my time with Calista.Her face was already flushed with liquor, and she’d hardly had more than a few sips. We had taken comfort on the love seat in the sitting room, our glasses of wine aerating in the warm evening breeze.It was almost frightening how low her tolerance was. Half a glass and she was slurring her words already. I supposed that humans had a much lower tolerance by nature, but a werewolf should have been able to hold her ground.I tried to squelch the endearing way the sight of her relaxed smile warmed me between the ribs.“Sadly,” I replied. “Not my finest moment.”“How is it to take blood from a chicken?” she asked. “Is it the same as taking blood from a human?”“Not at all,” I replied. “Chickens are far too small. And their feathers tend to get in the way.”Valerie giggled. The sound was how I imagined sunlight felt. Warm and empowering and dangerous

VALERIE“Mistress Brigid?” The voice came from the serving girl, who stood in the doorway of the dining room, my platter of lunch still in her hands. “Why, she’s one of Kronos’s favorite consorts. As far as I know, she’s the longest-standing one. After Queen Emelia, at least. She’s said to be resourceful and witty, and Kronos favors her for her brilliance. I’ve heard she even assists him with council matters now and then.”She set the platter down and helped herself to a roll on top, per our arrangement. I was glad to see that she wasn’t frightened of me anymore. She picked at the bread delicately, placing a crumb between her lips.“May I ask why you’re curious about Lady Brigid? Did she give you a hard time last night?” She clutched the roll to her heart. “Was it because of me?”I rushed to ease the panic in her eyes. “No, no. It’s not like that, don’t worry. I was just thinking about visiting her again. She seemed…very knowledgeable, and I was hoping to ask her a few more questions.

LUCAS“Isn’t it fascinating, brother? What a lovely scene!” Nicasa turned to me, her arms outstretched wide.When I didn’t respond, she came to sit at my side. She wreaked of blood and plum wine, but it was to be expected. The palace was nearly up to its knees in both.For a people so plagued with famine, there certainly seemed to be an excess of humans ripe for feeding within the palace lines.So many, in fact, the nobles were beginning to toy with them like puppets.Nicasa’s performance was a grand example. A play she had put on, featuring a group of pets reading theater lines, almost in the way the humans did before the war. But of course, things were never that simple in Chelver. Vampires were never that easily amused.The slaves were either following script, or they’d been drugged by Nicasa before the play began—because they fell into lewd acts of sexual depravity right before my very boredom.Nicasa seemed nothing short of gleeful, clapping her hands giddily at the sight. I didn

CAESER“Aren’t you being too skeptical? I don’t think it’s necessary,” Felix muttered, slouching into a chair after the courier departed. The parchment in my hand still carried the scent of Bando—the scent of smoke and blood and gunpowder. The scent of my son.“He agreed—of course he agreed,” I said coolly, folding the letter and setting it down beside the maps. Just as I expected. Xavier couldn’t afford to refuse. His army was battered, his allies silent. He was at the disadvantage from the beginning. What other option did he have?Felix leaned forward, frowning. “Then why not attack now? We’ve got momentum. His forces are crippled. Sure, the fortress is heavily guarded, but there’s nothing to fear. With his men wounded, we should attack now! Keep momentum!”I didn’t bother hiding my irritation. “We didn’t expect reinforcements yesterday. Amelia’s unit wasn’t supposed to be there. We can’t act recklessly now; another pack army could be on their way to Bando as we speak. And you mustn

XAVIER“Was that her again?”Ares was stirring as I wrapped a bandage tight around my arm. The wound wasn’t too deep—it would heal in a matter of days. But Valerie’s constant attempts at communication were quickly becoming a distraction.They felt forceful, like blasts of wind at the back of my skull. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised by just how strong her capabilities were. But now wasn’t the time.And there was no reason to answer.No reason to scare her.Yes, Ares said. It was her. You’re making a mistake. We must speak with our mates.“No. One inkling that anything’s gone wrong and Valerie will find her way down here.” As much as the thought warmed me, it blistered as well. “I can’t allow her to get hurt. Keep quiet for now. There’s no reason to stir things.”Ares did not reply. I could feel him withdraw. It was rare when Ares slunk away and left me to my own thoughts, but he’d made it entirely clear that he was unhappy with my orders to deny the link. He missed his mate—and so

VALERIEThe first thing I heard when I woke the next morning was the displeased gnarling of Diya deep within me.I can’t believe you slept with the leech all night. I didn’t answer at first. Instead, I sat up, squinting at the lights in the room. The bed beside me was empty, but the shape of Lucas still remained, pressed into the silken covers.I breathed out a small sigh of relief, but Diya still gnarled unhappily within my chest.Sleeping with the cretin. Despicable.“Don’t say it like that,” I whispered back to her. “We slept in the same bed, that’s all. I’d been having terrible dreams and he was trying to comfort me.”Diya’s scoff sounded more like a growl. I doubt he saw it that way. He wanted to take advantage of you while you were vulnerable. What a nasty bloodsucker. Not worthy to lick the boots of our mate. At the mention of Xavier, my chest went tight—like I was being squeezed in the grip of a hungry boa.But Diya was wrong. If Lucas had wanted to take advantage of me, he
