The Alpha Hearts Tangle The Rules of Jealousy
Damien didn't wait for an answer before he turned and walked away, leaving the word won hanging in the corridor like something sharp enough to cut on the way out.Kieran's jaw tightened, watching him go, and Thalia found herself studying the back of Damien's retreating figure with a confusion she didn't entirely want to examine. Three days ago he'd walked into the Headmaster's office like claiming her was sport, something to win out of sheer competitive instinct. Tonight his voice had carried something rawer underneath the arrogance, something that had sounded, for just a moment, like a boy who actually minded losing something he hadn't realized he wanted until someone else was standing closer to it."Don't," Kieran said quietly, noticing her watching the empty corridor."Don't what?""Don't read more into Vex's moods than there is to read. He's competitive about everything. It doesn't mean anything beyond that.""It sounded like something," Thalia said, because it had, and she was to
The Alpha Hearts Tangle What the Archive Remembered
Silas didn't come back that night, and by the time the sun rose over the training field, Thalia had convinced herself something had happened to him too.She found him instead at breakfast, hollow-eyed, a stack of brittle, water-stained pages balanced carefully beside his tray like he was afraid breathing too hard near them would turn them to dust. Kieran sat across from her, his bandaged forearm half hidden under his sleeve, and Coraline, for the first time in three years, sat down next to Thalia instead of across from her, close enough that their shoulders nearly touched."You look like you slept in the archive," Kieran said."I did," Silas said. "Seemed safer than my own bed, given recent events." He slid the pages across the table, carefully, like they were something that might bite. "I found partial Ember line records. Most of it was burned during the Culling, as the Headmaster said, but someone preserved fragments, tucked away behind a restricted shelf that shouldn't have had any
The Alpha Hearts Tangle What Moved in the Dark
The scream came from the far end of the private wing, and it belonged to Coraline.Thalia was running before she'd decided to run, her bare feet silent on the stone floor, Kieran a half step behind her and already shifting, fur rippling up his arms before he'd gone three strides. The corridor bent sharply near the guest chambers where the council had put Coraline for the night, close enough to Thalia's new room that it had felt, hours ago, like a small mercy. Now it felt like proximity to danger neither of them had asked for.The door to Coraline's room stood open, lamplight spilling crooked across the floor, and inside, Coraline pressed against the far wall, a letter opener clutched in one shaking hand, facing a figure in dark academy robes Thalia didn't recognize."Don't move," the figure said, voice low, male, pitched to carry no further than the room itself. "I'm not here for you.""Then who," Coraline started, and the figure's head turned toward the door, toward Thalia, and somet
The Alpha Hearts Tangle Someone Already Knew
Thalia didn't sleep that night, not because she couldn't, but because she was afraid of what her wolf might do if she let her guard down for even a few hours.The private wing was quieter than the rest of the academy, carved out of the castle's oldest stone, with its own guarded entrance and a window that looked out over the training field where everything had changed. She sat on the edge of an unfamiliar bed in an unfamiliar room that was somehow already more hers than the one she'd shared with three other servant-ranked girls for the past three years, and she turned Silas's words over and over until they wore grooves into her thinking.Someone already knew. Someone had made sure the right people found out fast.A knock came just after midnight, soft, deliberate, the kind of knock that wasn't trying to wake anyone who was actually asleep. Thalia opened the door to find Kieran standing in the corridor, out of his academy uniform, hair damp as he'd just come from running the perimeter
The Alpha Hearts Tangle Three Houses, One Girl
Damien didn't bother knocking, and he didn't bother with an apology for the interruption either."I assume someone's already explained the situation," he said, crossing the office with the easy, predatory stride of a boy who had never once doubted he belonged in any room he walked into. His eyes found Thalia and stayed there, assessing, the way he'd look at a new piece of territory. "Ember bloodline. Needs a protector. I'm not interested in losing this to either of them by default.""You weren't invited into this conversation," Kieran said."I wasn't invited to watch you nearly get yourself killed for her on the training field either, but here we are." Damien's smile had an edge to it. "Word travels fast, Thorne. Faster than you'd like, apparently."The Headmaster held up a hand before either of them could escalate further. "This is not a negotiation between houses today. The council requires a formal petition process, evaluated over the coming weeks, not decided in my office in the n
The Alpha Hearts Tangle The Price of a Name
Magnus moved first, and he moved to shut down a conversation, not to protect his daughter."That's enough," he said, stepping between Thalia and the Headmaster like a wall going up too late to matter. "Whatever theories you're building from an old bedtime story, I won't have them repeated in front of students.""She's not a student anymore the moment that bloodline wakes up in her," the Headmaster said, unmoved. "You know that better than I do, Magnus. You've known it for eighteen years."The room went very quiet. Coraline's hand was still wrapped around Thalia's sleeve, and Thalia could feel her pulse hammering through it, could hear it almost as clearly as her own."Someone explain what the Ember line actually is," Coraline said, "because I grew up in this pack and I've never heard that name in my life."The Headmaster finally looked away from Thalia, long enough to address the room. "The Ember bloodline was the oldest alpha line in existence before the Great Culling. Stronger than
