Noah slept for two days.

The doctors found nothing. His heart was steady. His breathing was slow and deep. His temperature never changed. His small body glowed faintly in the dark, as if someone had put a candle behind his skin, and the nurses who came to check his monitors left the room quickly and quietly, avoiding his face.

Elena did not leave his bedside.

She sat in the narrow chair with a blanket over her knees and held his hand. She counted his breaths. She told him stories in a low voice

  • THE ALPHA KING'S FORGOTTEN WIFE   Wake

    Adrian opened his eyes to a white ceiling.For a long moment he didn't know where he was. The room smelled of antiseptic and lavender. A monitor beeped softly somewhere to his left. His shoulder felt as though it had been packed with hot coals, and every breath was a knife drawn slowly across his ribs.Then he turned his head and saw her.Elena was asleep in the chair beside his bed. Her head was tilted against the wing of the seat, her hair a tangle, her face pale and drawn. She still wore the blue dress from the hill, stiff with dried blood. A blanket someone had draped over her shoulders had slipped to the floor.Her hand was wrapped around his.He lay still, watching her breathe.She stayed.Something deep in his chest eased and tightened at once. He had expected to wake in the dark. He had been ready for it. He had been ready to find that the last thing he'd seen, her face above him, was the last thing there would ever be."Three days," said a low voice from the doorway.Lucas st

  • THE ALPHA KING'S FORGOTTEN WIFE   The Fall

    Elena had never heard herself scream like that.It tore out of her, raw and animal, and every wolf on the hill froze. She caught Adrian as he fell, dragged him against her chest, pressed both hands over the wound. Hot blood seeped between her fingers, pulsing, impossibly fast."No. No, no, no. Adrian. Adrian.""El..." His voice was a thread."Don't talk. Save your strength.""Noah...""I'll get him. I'll get him, I swear. Just stay with me."His lips curved, faintly. "Bossy.""I mean it! Don't you dare leave me!"His eyes fluttered. His head lolled against her shoulder."Aw," said Marguerite, sorrowfully, from the stone. "What a waste."Elena's head lifted.The old woman stood three yards away, her cane planted in the grass, as though she were attending a funeral. She regarded the dying king with something very like regret. Behind her, Lucian held Noah over the slab, cold and impassive, the boy limp in his arms."You killed him," Elena whispered."Not yet." Marguerite inclined her hea

  • THE ALPHA KING'S FORGOTTEN WIFE   The Blade

    Lucian moved with terrible gentleness.He bent, lifted Noah as if he were made of glass, and began to carry him toward the black stone. His silver ring flashed in the starlight. Noah went limp in his arms, eyes half-closed, his small face blank."No!"Elena threw herself at them.Adrian shifted in mid-stride. His coat tore away. Fur burst across his shoulders, and a black wolf the size of a horse tore across the grass. Lucian spun. Adrian's jaws closed on empty air.The old man was fast. Faster than any human, faster than any wolf Elena had ever seen. He dodged, rolled and came up with Noah still in his arms, calm, composed, unruffled. Not a hair out of place."Please," he said. "I'd rather not hurt you.""Put him down!" Elena screamed."I'm afraid I can't."She drove her knife toward his arm. He caught her wrist, twisted, and she cried out as the blade fell from her fingers. Adrian roared and leaped."Adrian," said Marguerite, almost lazily. "Behind you."He turned.Too late.Wolves

  • THE ALPHA KING'S FORGOTTEN WIFE   The Moon Stone

    They didn't wait for the plan.Adrian drove. Elena sat beside him with her knife on her lap and her teeth clenched so hard her jaw ached. Behind them, a convoy of black cars wound up the mountain road with their lights off, Lucas at the head, Seraphina beside him with a rifle across her knees."Alone," Elena said. "He said alone.""I know what he said.""If we bring the wolves...""Then they'll be in position when we need them." Adrian's hands were tight on the wheel. His eyes were black. "They hold the ridge. We go up the last hill on foot. And Elena, we are not alone. We never were."She swallowed and nodded.She had stopped crying somewhere around the second switchback. What had replaced it was colder, steadier, a stillness she remembered from the long nights above the laundromat, when she had sat awake with a feverish baby and a handful of coins and thought, I will not break. Not tonight. Not until he's safe.I will not break.The night was moonless, the sky black as ink. A millio

  • THE ALPHA KING'S FORGOTTEN WIFE   Preparing the Trap

    "Three teams," Lucas said, tapping the map. "North ridge, south road, and a ring of wolves inside the standing stones. Quiet. Nobody shifts until Adrian gives the signal."The war room beneath the Tower smelled of coffee and old stone. A long table ran down its center, covered in maps, radios and cold plates of untouched food. Lamps burned low. It was past midnight, three days before the new moon, and every person in the room looked as if they had not slept in a week."And what do we do about the Stone itself?" said Commander Voss, a lean gray man with a scar down his throat. "We don't know what's up there. If Lucian expects the boy, he'll have prepared something.""We give him the boy," Adrian said.Silence fell."Not Noah," Elena said sharply."No." Adrian laid a hand on her arm. "A decoy. Tessa's team has a woman who could pass for a small child under a blanket, in the dark, from forty yards."Tessa, Seraphina's captain, a broad-shouldered woman with a braid down to her waist, gave

  • THE ALPHA KING'S FORGOTTEN WIFE   The Staged Quarrel

    The fight happened in the main hall, at noon, in front of forty witnesses.Everything had been planned. Lucas had cleared the schedule. Seraphina's guard had spread the word that the King and Queen were not in good spirits, a whisper that raced through the Tower like a brushfire. By noon, every member of the staff who could find a reason to be in the main hall was there, polishing silverware that did not need polishing, rearranging flowers that were perfectly arranged.Elena stood by the tall windows with a teacup in her hand. Her heart was pounding so hard she was sure the whole room could hear it.It's only a play, she told herself. Just be angry. You have so much to be angry about.Adrian strode in, grim-faced, flanked by two guards. He stopped at the long table. His eyes found hers, and for the barest instant, they warmed. Then they went flat and hard."We need to talk," he said."I thought we already had.""Not like that.""Like what?""Like I'm a stranger.""You are a stranger."
