CECILIA

The market was Darcy's idea.

She had knocked on the chamber door that evening with the expression she wore when she thought I needed air and was going to get me some whether I agreed or not. I had agreed. Partly because she was right and partly because I had been sitting with too many thoughts since the previous night and movement helped.

We walked the path toward the pack market and I kept my voice low.

"Any update on the staff member?"

Darcy shook her head. "Grey has not s

  • HER ARRANGED MARRIAGE    He fell first

    Chapter 038CECILIAI came out of the washroom wrapped in my towel and stopped.Cassian was on the other side of the room, shirtless, going through his exercises on the floor. Push ups, slow and controlled, his back flat and his arms steady. His hair had fallen forward over his face and his chest and arms were doing exactly what they always did which was make it very difficult to think clearly.His trousers had gone low. The V line below his stomach was right there, visible, not hiding from anyone.I stood in the doorway and watched for longer than I should have.He pushed up from the floor and stood and smiled at me. Hair falling over his face, chest rising and falling, looking like something the goddess had carved on a particularly generous day.Then I remembered lunch.Kattie's fingers on his arm. Her body angled toward him. That laugh she had aimed at him while Marcella said something in her ear.I turned away and sat at the chair near the dressing table and started braiding my ha

I had agreed. Partly because she was right and partly because I had been sitting with too many thoughts since the previous night and movement helped.We walked the path toward the pack market and I kept my voice low."Any update on the staff member?"Darcy shook her head. "Grey has not said anything directly. Nothing I can work with yet.""Keep at it. But do not push. Do not ask him questions." I glanced at her. "Just lead conversations toward it and let him find his own way there.""I know how to do this.""I know you do. I am reminding myself as much as you."She smiled. "The orphanage. How is it coming?""I need to visit Madam Katherine soon. The ceiling repair should be well underway by now but I want to see it myself." I paused."Good." Darcy was quiet for a moment and the

    Chapter 036KATTIEI had been watching them for weeks.Every meal. Every training session. Every small moment in the corridor where he touched her waist or bent toward her ear and she pretended not to lean into it. I had been standing in corners and doorways cataloguing all of it and keeping my mouth shut and my face pleasant and my patience intact.But patience had a limit.Their relationship was growing. I could see it in the way he looked for her when she was not in the room. The way she had stopped flinching when he touched her. The way he had stood up at that party and spoken about her in front of the whole pack like she was something worth protecting.That was not a man fulfilling an obligation anymore.That was a man falling.And I was not going to stand here and watch Cassian fall for a wolfless woman from a struggling pack who had no business being in this packhouse in the first place.I needed to move now before it went any further.Marcella had planted the seed herself, not

"Talk."He kept his voice low, eyes scanning the corridor once before settling on me. "One of the pack staff has been leaving the pack house through the eastern gate.”I looked at him, my attention now caught. “How long has this been going on?”“Last night during patrol I noticed someone slip out of the maids' quarters in a cloak and I couldn’t see the face properly.""One of the maids.""I believe so." He paused. "I trailed the figure from the maids’ quarter and the way she moved through the guard posts… this was not the first time. She knew exactly where to step and when."I felt something cold settle in my chest. "So, a maid has been slipping out of the pack house regularly and none of the guards flagged it.""I would not blame the guards entirely." Grey's jaw was tight. "I got close enough to try a

  • HER ARRANGED MARRIAGE    Jealousy looks good on you

    Chapter 034CECILIA"Why would you think that way?"Cassian looked at me like I had just said something in a language he did not recognize."You cannot be serious," he arched his eyebrow at me."I am completely serious. Louis is a visiting Alpha. He came here on business. The least we can do is accommodate him properly and show him the pack." I reached for my water. "Give him a reason to want a real alliance.""I cannot believe you just said that." He said again but this time with a deep frown."What should I have said instead?"He pushed back from the table slightly and crossed his arms. "I do not want you speaking to him."I put my cup down and looked at him. "Excuse me?""You heard me.""Cassian." I kept my voice even. "You do not get to decide who I speak to.""I am not deciding who you speak to." His jaw was tight. "I am telling you what Louis is doing here and it is not friendship. I know men like him. I know what they are capable of and I know what that look on his face means

    Chapter 033CASSIANShe jumped in first.The yelp that came out of her hit the air before the splash settled."It's so fucking cold, Cassian." I stood at the edge laughing before I dropped in after her."Be careful. That part you're swimming to is slippery." Cold hit me everywhere at once.She frowned as if disbelieving what I said before swimming away towards me.I watched her move through the water, the early light catching the surface around her, her hair spreading out behind her. She was good in the water, like she had grown up near it.She circled back and came closer."This is so relaxing." She stopped in front of me, treading water, face tilted up. The sun was still low and the light was soft and gold and it was doing things to her face that I was not going to say out loud. "I had forgotten what this felt like.""What?""Just being somewhere quiet with no one wanting anything from me."I said nothing and let that sit."Come here." She moved sideways to a shallow stretch whe
