Haydee

I chose to live, and I want to be honest about why, because the reason is the whole point of everything I had done.

I did not choose to come up because destiny called me. There was no destiny anymore. I did not choose it because Hunter needed me, though his hand was there, warm around mine in the dark, or because the north needed its queen, or a crown required a head.

  • Rejected by my Mate, Chosen by his Enemy   She Walks Back

    HaydeeI chose to live, and I want to be honest about why, because the reason is the whole point of everything I had done.I did not choose to come up because destiny called me. There was no destiny anymore. I did not choose it because Hunter needed me, though his hand was there, warm around mine in the dark, or because the north needed its queen, or a crown required a head.I had spent my whole life being needed by things, the heir, the Luna, the weapon, the vessel, the queen. And down there at the bottom of the world, with every one of those claims cut away, I chose to live for the first and only reason that was ever truly mine.I wanted to.I simply wanted to live, not for anyone, not for anything.

  • Rejected by my Mate, Chosen by his Enemy   The Moonwell Below

    HaydeeThe Moonwell did not drown me. It held me.I sank into the oldest water in the world with the crown's shards buried over my heart, and the cold did not kill me and the depth did not crush me. It took me down out of the world and held me there, suspended in silver light, between the life I had spent and the death I had earned, waiting to learn which way I would go.And in that suspended place, the water showed me myself.They came up out of the silver one at a time, all the women I had been, each lit from within, each turning to look at me as she passed.The servant girl on her knees scrubbing a floor in a pack that did not know her name, sixteen and certain she was worth exactly what they told her, which was nothing.

  • Rejected by my Mate, Chosen by his Enemy   The End of Fated Mates

    HaydeeThe crown shattered against the ancient stone, and across the whole north, in the same breath, ten thousand years of fate let go.I have been told what it was like, out there, in the hours after, from a hundred wolves in a hundred places, and I have put the pieces together into one picture I will carry to my grave. All across the territories, at the instant the crown broke, every fated bond that had ever been forced on anyone simply stopped being law.The moon's hand lifted off the whole world at once. In every pack, in every valley, from the capital to the smallest border holding, wolves staggered as the thing that had told them who to love for a thousand years went quiet, all together, forever.And it was not the same for all of them, and that is the truth I refuse to

  • Rejected by my Mate, Chosen by his Enemy   Love Without Magic

    HaydeeThe spear of killing light took Hunter Grear through the body, and there was no bond that made him do it.That is the sentence I want carved on everything I ever built after that night. There was no bond. I had cut it myself, minutes before, unmade the tie with my own hands, and left him as free of me as a stranger in the road. Nothing in heaven or earth compelled Hunter to move.No fate pulled him. No mate bond dragged him into the path of the blow the way the old magic drags a fated wolf to shield its other half. He was, for the first time in our whole story, entirely free to let me die.And he crossed the space between me and the spear and took it in his own body instead, because he chose to, with nothing forcing his hand, and that is the truest thing that has ever ha

  • Rejected by my Mate, Chosen by his Enemy   The Willing Unloved

    HaydeeThe Goddess had told me the lock was surrender, and now I understood what I had to surrender.To break the crown, to end the age of the guaranteed heart, I could not keep a single guarantee of my own. That was the whole terrible logic of it. I could not free the world from the promise of certain love while clutching my own promises to my chest.If I was going to take the moon's guarantee from every wolf alive, I had first to let go of every thread in my own life that promised me I was loved.All of them.And I stood there in the crown chamber and counted them, the threads I had spent my whole orphaned life earning, and I understood I was going to have to cut every one.There

  • Rejected by my Mate, Chosen by his Enemy   The Goddess Answers

    HaydeeWhen I said I would break the crown, the moon answered me.Not the eclipse-darkened disk in the shaft above. The thing behind it.The whole chamber went still, the crying in the crown hushed, the silver water flattened to glass, and something vast and old and utterly without warmth turned its attention on the small woman at the bottom of the world who had announced she would unmake its oldest working.I had touched the edge of her once before, at the start of all this, and come away shaking.This was more.This was the Goddess herself, or as much of her as a mortal chamber could hold, and she was nothing like the tender mother the elders preached.She did not love me. She did not hate me. She was a force the size of the tides, ancient past the reach of my mind, and she regarded my whole species the way you might regard an ant colony you had watched a very long time, with attention but no tenderness, cu
