[Alaric's POV]

Aurora fell asleep halfway through a lullaby I only half remembered, one fist still tangled in my collar, and it took a full minute of careful finger-prying to lay her in the cot without waking her.

Eileen was waiting on the balcony when I came out, forearms folded across the stone railing, her hair loose in the wind and the ridge fires still burning orange along the far hills.

"She's down?" she asked.

"Down and dreaming up new ways to refuse breakfast." I stepped up beside her u

    [Eileen's POV]"Hold still," Lumi said around a mouthful of pins, "or I'll stitch you into this dress and you'll be married sitting down.""I am holding still. It's the dress that keeps moving.""The dress is a dress, Eileen. You're the one bouncing on your toes.""I'm not bouncing.""You've bounced twice since I started the left sleeve." She tugged the fabric flat against my ribs and stepped back to squint at me. "Nervous?""I've already married him once and survived it.""That one had a treaty. This one has four kingdoms in the garden and your daughter in charge of the flowers, which is considerably more terrifying."The door swung open mid-sentence, and Wren marched in with a teacup in one hand and the expression she wore whenever she'd decided to be difficult on my behalf."Sit," she said."I'm dressed, Wren.""Then sit in it. Alaric told me about the balcony, and I'm not letting you walk down an aisle until I've had my hand on you." She set the cup down, pressed her palm flat bel

    [Alaric's POV]Aurora fell asleep halfway through a lullaby I only half remembered, one fist still tangled in my collar, and it took a full minute of careful finger-prying to lay her in the cot without waking her.Eileen was waiting on the balcony when I came out, forearms folded across the stone railing, her hair loose in the wind and the ridge fires still burning orange along the far hills."She's down?" she asked."Down and dreaming up new ways to refuse breakfast." I stepped up beside her until our elbows touched and kept my eyes on the fires, because looking at her was going to make this harder. "You've been patient all night. I noticed.""I've been wondering all night, which isn't the same thing. You promised me it wasn't bad.""It isn't bad.""Then why are you rubbing the back of your neck like a boy who broke a window?"I dropped my hand to the railing. "Do you remember the night I came to your door after the kiss? The two days I hadn't spoken to you?""Alaric, I remember all

    [Eileen's POV]The path looked different under the moonlight, I knew the ground hadn’t changed. I had."You're sure about this," Alaric said, Aurora balanced on his hip, her small hand fisted in his collar. "We can turn back. Nobody would think less of you.""I'm sure." I kept walking. "I’ve spent three years avoiding what this place means to me. I don’t want to avoid it anymore, I want to stand here and remember it without being afraid.""That's a fine distinction to make about a cliff, Eileen.""It's the only distinction that actually matters, I think. Then I’ll stay with you”.He didn't argue with that. He just adjusted Aurora's weight on his hip and kept pace beside me, near enough that his shoulder brushed mine with every other step, warm despite the cool night air.The last time I'd climbed this path, rain had come sideways off the sea, soaking through wool that never quite dried again before the end found me. Tonight the sky stretched clear and impossibly full of stars, The moo

    [Eileen's POV]"No," Aurora said clearly, pointing one small accusing finger at the bowl of porridge Wren was trying to feed her."That's her first word?" I asked, half laughing, half disbelieving. "Not Mama. Not Papa. No.""She's been practicing it all week on anyone who tries to make her do anything she doesn't want to do." Wren wiped a smear of porridge off her own sleeve, unbothered. "I'd call it a fitting first word for your daughter, my lady, if I'm honest about it.""She takes after her mother," Alaric said from the doorway, grinning."She takes after both of us equally, thank you.""No," Aurora repeated, delighted with herself, and threw the spoon clean across the room.After that, the year seemed to move quickly.By midsummer she was walking, unsteady and furious about every fall, refusing help from anyone who offered it even as she toppled sideways into the grass for the tenth time in an hour."Let her," Alaric said, catching my arm when I moved to scoop her up again. "She'l

    [Alaric's POV]The West Pack envoy turned out to be a woman I recognized, though it took me a moment to place her without a uniform and a sword at her hip."Captain Yara," I said. "I didn't expect Lucian's own officers to be the ones sitting across this table from me.""I'm not Lucian's officer anymore, my lord. Haven't been since the night he died." She sat stiffly, hands folded, clearly uncomfortable in a role she hadn't chosen for herself. "The council that's left couldn't agree on anything except that somebody needed to come speak with you directly, and most of them were too frightened to make the ride themselves.""But not you.""I buried eleven men under Lucian's banner who never once got told what they were actually dying for, my lord. I decided I owed them enough to find out what comes next, whatever that turns out to mean.""So. What comes next, Alaric? Eileen sat beside me, quiet so far, letting me take the lead the way we'd agreed before the envoy arrived."West Pack terri

  • Rebirth and Revenge:Lycan King’s Feisty Luna   Chapter 115: A Letter to Herself

    [Eileen's POV]"I need a moment," I told them. "Alone, if that's alright."Alaric touched my shoulder once, understanding without needing an explanation, and steered Wren and Bertrand out ahead of him, the door clicking shut behind them until it was just me, the box, and a letter I hadn't earned the courage to open yet.I had no idea why Elena had kept it. Maybe she’d collected it because of my family. Maybe she’d found it through Lucian. Whatever the reason, the letter had survived all these years and somehow ended up in her hands.I turned the box over once in my hands, half expecting something else to fall out, some accompanying note explaining how she'd acquired it. Nothing did. Just the letter. I broke the seal with hands that weren't quite steady.The handwriting was mine. I recognized it immediately, even though I hadn’t seen it in years, the loop was different from the way I wrote it.To whoever I am when I finally read this,Father says I should stop writing letters I never
