Author's POV

Sandra didn't move from her position on Sebastian's desk even after he dismissed her.

She sat there for a long moment, fingers curled around the edge of the wood, smile still perfectly in place even though there was no one left to perform it for.

"Ava," she said quietly, to the empty room. Testing the name. Deciding what she thought of it.

Her grip on the desk tightened.

She had known Sebastian since they were children. Her father had positioned her carefully, patiently, with the q

    "Samuel!"Clara's whole face was lit up as she called for him. He came out of the closet already dressed to train with the others."Bianca — she's awake."Samuel let out a breath he seemed to have been holding for days."We should go to her. Now," Clara said, and he nodded."Wait here. Let me put on something better." He ducked back into the closet and changed into a white shirt and blue jeans.The whole way to the hospital, Clara silently thanked the Moon Goddess for sparing the girl. It had been a brutal week — she'd prayed daily for Bianca's recovery, and not only out of guilt over what her own daughter had done. Bianca was a member of the pack. A maid, yes, but that made her no lesser than any other wolf. Every soul in that house, Alpha Jackson included, had been praying for her, and now, at last, those prayers had been answered."This way, please." The nurse led them back the moment they gave her name at reception.Bianca was sitting up when they entered, eating, a few nurses hov

    *One Week Later*"I won't pretend otherwise, Sebastian — I miss Isabelle terribly." Ava laughed and rolled over to face him where he lay stretched beside her."Do you miss Edwin? He's your best friend." She tapped a finger to her chin. "Your *only* friend, if I'm honest.""Not in the slightest." Sebastian didn't miss a beat. "I've been looking at that man's face my entire life. It's a relief to finally get a break from it."Ava's jaw dropped."That's not *fair*. I'm sure Edwin misses you."Sebastian scoffed. "I can promise you he doesn't. The only reason he'd want me back is to hand me the workload. He's delighted you're gone, too — now he has Isabelle entirely to himself."He laughed, and when he turned to her, he found her watching him with a frown fixed firmly in place."What is it, my love?" He sat up, sensing danger."Is that what he says? That I take Isabelle away from him?" Ava's eyes narrowed. "Well. I'm perfectly glad to be away from *him*. He's forever stealing you off somew

    Edgar was still seething long after the call ended.He hadn't believed Hannah would run to Janet so quickly. He'd counted on her fear — assumed she'd sooner die than confess their arrangement and ruin herself. Instead she had proven, plainly, that she valued her life above her reputation."What now, Your Grace?" one of his men asked, once he'd laid it all out for them.Edgar's face was heavy with defeat."We abort. For now." He ground the words out. "With a woman like Janet on our scent, we can't move. We lie low and we wait."They nodded. There was nothing else to do.***At the werewolf pack house, Clara was still waiting on word from the hospital about Bianca.The whole household moved carefully, quietly, everyone walking on eggshells — most of all around Alpha Jackson, Beta Samuel, and Clara herself. After her latest visit to the hospital, Clara went to find Jackson."Good to have you back, Clara." He looked up as she entered. "How was your stay at the Lycan palace?""Perfect. Exa

    Hannah hurried straight for the queen's chambers, ignoring the stares that followed her down every corridor."Come in."She stepped inside. "Good day, Your Highness." Her hands worked against her own arms."What is it, Hannah? You look shaken.""It's King Edgar."That took Janet's full attention at once. With Edgar loose somewhere near the palace, anything touching his whereabouts was worth its weight in gold."What about him?"Hannah drew a breath to steady herself."He called me a few minutes ago. He ordered me to abduct you."Janet's brow lifted."You're one of his spies.""No, Your Grace—" Hannah shook her head fast. "As head maid I've always served every member of the royal family. You all have my number. He simply called and threatened me — said I'd die if I refused."It was a lie, and she told it because the truth would end her. If she wanted Janet's protection she needed Janet's goodwill, and confessing to ten years of espionage would earn her a noose, not a shield.Janet look

  • Rejected Once, Now Claimed By The Lycan    The Easier Route

    The next morning Ava and Sebastian were awake early, both of them too eager for the day to lie still.They had already been through the schedule Zeena sent over, and neither could wait to begin. The first day was a tour of the resort with Zeena herself, followed by a local restaurant a few minutes down the coast — the sort of place, Zeena had promised, that most of her guests ended up loving more than the resort itself."How are you feeling, Princess? Ready for a proper day out?" Sebastian pressed a kiss to Ava's cheek where they lay tangled in the sheets."I can't *wait*." She stretched. "Zeena said nine o'clock. It's barely six — I don't know how I'm meant to survive three whole hours. I want to be out there already.""Then we'll fill the three hours." He grinned.They spent them getting ready, and at nine exactly, Zeena knocked."All right, Mr. and Mrs. Reyes." She was beaming. "Are we ready for the day?"Ava squealed."I've been ready since two in the morning. Can we *please* star

    "He's lurking around the palace."Janet's own face reflected the disbelief in her voice. "I can't — he's *disobeying a direct order from the king.*" Her hands had begun to shake with it."I didn't see this coming at all." Edwin shook his head. "I assumed he'd be a thousand miles away by now, quietly building something. Not this.""This is intolerable." Janet brought her palm down flat against the bed. "I don't know what's moving through that man's head, but he does not get to do this and walk away from it. Former king, father to the current king — none of it matters. He is a criminal sentenced by the crown, and the crown's word binds him like anyone else.""Edgar has never once in his life done as he was told." Isabelle gave a small shrug. "This shouldn't shock any of us."Edwin touched her arm. *Not here, my love.* His voice slid into her mind, low.Isabelle caught his meaning at once and pressed her lips shut. A spy could be anywhere in this palace. Some things weren't to be said al
