Words He Can't SayDaria’s POVBarrier eventually broke, not due to failure, but because the assaulting parties withdrew at daybreak. The forest fell back to its usual silent condition, and the birds called out, sounding an alarm to see whether the danger had really passed. I bent my hands down, all the muscles pained, and gave a sigh which I thought I had been trying to suppress all night.Lucius was several steps back, staring at the tree line as he thought that at any moment the shadows would come back. His attitude was full of tension and nervousness, yet there was something else also. Uncertainty. He continued to gaze at me and look away.I kept myself busy packing my stuff, not to pack them, but to have something to keep my hands busy. Now there was weight in silence between us. It pressed in from all sides."Daria," he said at last.I didn't answer.He took a step closer. Something about before... what I wanted to say.I knotted my satchel strap up tighter than needed. "Don't."

No Way OutDaria’s POVThe wall and the wall waked and waked, swearing in my ears, till I had a soreness in my head. Something was beating on its surface, once, twice, then more sharply, and light was flickering upon it. The effect caused the ground to shake under my feet.Oh, they are trying it, I thought, trying their level best.Lucius was a step to my left, with set shoulders and eyebrows that were staring at the wall. They are aware that it will not stand forever.Another blow landed. The barrier flushed and then faded.And I stretched my hands and thrust magic into the field, and brought it into the foreign spell already existing. It did not bend instantly, as cold iron, but bent a little, so that I could, strengthening the weakest part, repair the weakest seam.Lucius noticed instantly. "There," he said, pointing. "They're focusing on that side."We do not let them, then, I answered.Another shadow bumped against the defiance, its nails raking the surface. The sound made my ski

Not Your PlaceDaria’s POVAs soon as I entered the training yard again, I knew that something was not right.The air was stifling, as after a storm, full of things already said and that could not be unsaid. Some of the warriors were in small groups and appeared to be paying attention to what was going on, when they were actually listening to something. Kael was almost at the edge of the grounds, his jaw stiff, his hands crossed. And standing some few steps by him was Lucius.My stomach sank.I made no rush as I walked towards them with my boots firm on the dirt. What had been said I did not need to hear, to tell what the shape of it was. The pose of Lucius was too haughty, his shoulders square as when he was challenged. Kael himself, instead, seemed confused rather than angry.Inappropriate, said Lucius, not inappropriate, I reached them. His tone was repressed, and yet there was an edge to it. This is no place to be doing tricks.Kael frowned. "I was training. With her permission."

The Weight of WatchingDaria’s POVThe practice-grounds were earthy and old magic, that kind that sinks in stone and lingers there a long time even after spells had been forgotten. Witches were floating around the outer ring, some with disciplined bursts of energy, others with disciplined focus through concentration. At the centre, warriors were drilling in pairs, and the blades crashed together in smooth harmony. I was now in between the two worlds, and I felt, for the first time in a long time, in balance."Again," I said, lifting my hand.One of the little witches was afraid, and she thrust ahead. The spell hissed irregularly and died away.Please, do not press it, I said to her without excitement. "Breathe first. Then move."She shook her head and made another attempt, but more slowly. The magic had gotten into a kind of smooth arc and was in charge and potent. Some of the rest moaned in approval.I turned and changed my position, and I saw Lucius at the farthest end of the ground

The Alpha Without a PackDaria's POVI remained in the shadow of the high gallery and was enveloped in a spell of easy concealment, which made me visible without quite disappearing. I did not want to vanish. I had a desire to see and more to hear. The allied council chamber was cut out of pale by way of stone and old wood and was a broad and circular room made in such a way that there was no voice in it which could prevail. Today, it felt like a cage.In the middle of the centre was Lucius alone.He was not crowned, not wrapped in an official cloak, but simply clad in some dark tunic, with the insignia of his pack sewn on the shoulder. That scar attracted attention more than it did before the time when he was strong. I was conscious of the eyes upon him, weighing, evaluating, half-concluding.The territory of The Blood Pact is also unstable, one of the council elders said, with a cool and practised tone. Your power is challenged, Your Alpha Lucius.Lucius erected himself. Disputed, be

The Child Who Sees Too MuchDaria’s POVSince the border fight, Harriet had been quiet; the silence had never sat well with her. She tended to ask questions, strike spells, or hum in a low-key practising small portions of magic. This morning, however, she sat up on the edge of her bed with her shoulders hunkered and her hands knotted up in her laps, gazing at the floor as though it had personally offended her. I saw immediately, just like mothers do all the time, although they lie that they do not.Talk to me, I thought, placing a bowl of warm water on the little table beside her. What the devil is in that head of yours?Without raising her eyes, she shrugged. "Nothing."I smiled in a thin way and sat next to her nonetheless. That is what people will say when there is something.Her lower lip went tremulous, and she bit it, as though she had words to restrain. I waited. I had known long since that when you run a frightened heart, you simply gain upon it, and send it still further away

An Unwanted AssetDaria’s POVThe council fire was low and flickered upon the hewn stones of the inner circle. I crossed my arms, and Harriet was quite secure, in a safe room below, and the witches were around me. Their faces were serious now. No fear. No doubt.Only decision.The old silver-haired

The Dawn of the ReckoningDaria's POVThe phrase had scarcely slipped out of the mouth of Lucius when all was ruined."Daria?"Rylan moved.He did not shout. He did not warn. He was frozen one moment open to truth and the next he leaped out like a trapped animal. Flashing in his hand was steel, and

The Secret FriendDaria's POVThe warrior, masked, remained motionless, one erroneous motion on his side and I would attack.I kept my blade low but ready. "Speak," I said. "Slowly."He nodded. "My name is Kael," he said. I vowed to Lucius much earlier than Rylan came to power.Harriet shifted behi

A Daughter AwakeningDaria's POVHarriet screamed.Not a cry. Not a whimper.The scream with which, like lightning tearing the sky open, it broke into the forest.I threw the bunch of herbs to my fingers and magic shot out of her like lightning flashing in the eyes. A flash of blue and silver broke
