Blake

I wake to full darkness, a nearly full moon painting the bedroom in strips of silver. Moonlight illuminates Marianna and Skye, the latter stretched out like a starfish between us, one fist resting against Marianna’s cheek while the other clutches my wrinkled shirt in a death grip. My body feels heavy, and my brain takes several seconds to register the room around us. I’ve been asleep most of the day, and well into the night, which hasn’t happened in many years.

I’m still not fully awake as I untangle Skye’s fingers from my shirt. She opens her eyes to slits but quickly succumbs to a deep slumber again before I’ve loosened her fingers enough to slip free.

Everything that happened in the last day or so barrels back to me the second my feet touch the floor. I slump on the edge of the mattress, hanging my head in my hands as the visions I saw ripple through my head.

The stars are now quiet, like they’ve done their job and can now rest, just like I have. Bastards.

  • The Alpha King's Breeder   Both of Us Must Be Dead

    LexaBright pain laces down my back with every step as I walk out of the woods and onto pearls of gravel. I’m not sure where I am, but it’s not the port. A shadow rises in the near distance. My vision ebbs in and out–a wall. The Glade. I’m standing on a rise and looking down at the city, at the capital of Pantharas, and beyond. My knees give out. Blood trails down my back. Hands grip my arms, yanking me upright. “Kaleb?” I croak, squinting against a rush of bright light threatening to blind me, but everyone around me is speaking in the fae tongue–and rapidly. I pick out a few words but nothing substantial. Nothing that gives me any idea of what happens next. I just won the Trials. I won. I did it, Kaleb. I won for us–“I am her sponsor now. Let her go!” Silas’s voice rips through the fray, and suddenly, I’m in his arms, which isn’t right. He shouldn’t be here. He kept having to leave, to go to the Highwoods, wherever that is. “K–Kaleb?” I cry out. Silas scoops me into his arms,

  • The Alpha King's Breeder   A Coward

    LexaThe forest comes alive. My wolf’s body glides unsteadily over roots and rocks, the moss cool under my soft, recently unused paws. My heartbeat drives adrenaline through my veins as I barrel, often losing my balance and sliding over the unfamiliar terrain. The smells are all wrong. The creeks that run through the forest like veins drift in different directions every time I pass, making it impossible to gauge where I am and what direction I’m traveling, but I keep running. I don’t know what else to do against this beast of mist still pursuing me deeper into the woods other than lie down and stay as quiet as possible, like on the beach, but I made that mistake before. I didn’t fight. I watched everyone get killed instead. It’s a regret I’ll carry for the rest of my life. The beast shrieks as it gains ground, coming up behind me with its talons clinking together like dried, hollow bones. I try to ignore it, to focus on my breathing, the way my body feels as the wolf I was forced to

  • The Alpha King's Breeder   Through the Arch

    LexaKaleb adjusts the loops and straps keeping my shifting dress in place, his fingers biting through the damp, rainy cold. There was a shift in the air last night, after a day spent mostly in solitude at Silas’s house. I’d spent most of the day looking out of the window, watching the trees sway between manor houses and in the small parks, all of them tinged with gold–the first signs of autumn. I missed the harvest. Kaleb’s touch is firm as he moves down my body to my sandals, checking my frame from my neck to the very tips of my toes. I’m allowed a weapon of choice tonight but only as long as I can carry it. I doubt the king knows about my use of a shifting halter, which Lis was able to craft in a matter of hours. I sent Kaleb with a sketch and measurements when he returned to the Glade without me yesterday morning. I eye the weapons laid out on a table across the room. We’re not in the city anymore. We’re far outside the walls cutting off the capital from the endless woods and p

  • The Alpha King's Breeder   This Is Ours

    LexaIt only takes one smooth motion for Kaleb to catch me around the middle and take me to the ground. My back hits the soft carpet with a thud that rattles my bones, and I jerk, diving to drive a knee between us. He gathers my wrists, pinning them above my head, and thrusts his knee between my legs, pinning me. His eyes are bright and only inches above mine while he inspects my face for damage from my fall. Pain throbs through my forehead, but it’s my pride that stings in agony. “I told you,” he says low in his throat, a soft growl that laces over my skin, “your overconfidence is going to kill you. Do you think you can still see in the dark without your wolf at your disposal?”I go totally still, my body relaxing against my will, and fold. I submit. I give up. “What happened to us? Why does this have to be so hard? Rejecting each other? I don’t want to do it, but you’re making it clear that we–we’ll never be able to be together. What changed in you after the maze? You’re not the

  • The Alpha King's Breeder   I'll Do It Myself

    LexaThey’re no maids in the manor. Not a single servant to tend the halls. Beyond the formal gates out front, fae guards rest against the spiraling columns that mark the entrance, the garden sheltered by a tall, marble wall that wraps around the entire building. It reminds me of the manors in Moonrise and some of the nicer townhomes. Crescent Falls, ever modern, favors the larger, family style homes, like Misty’s place. Silas doesn’t have a TV. I haven’t seen anyone with a phone, either. No video games. No computers. Just… books. Books Silas likes. Books about war and politics. The sun isn’t nearly as warm today. I move through the house, exploring. I slept well last night, woke refreshed, and took a long, hot shower for the first time in weeks, scrubbing my skin raw, making use of Silas’s excessive collection of soaps and oils. But now I don’t know what to do with my time. I haven’t seen Blake since yesterday morning. I know he went out last night because I peaked out a window an

  • The Alpha King's Breeder   Calling Him Out

    KalebThe ballroom in the palace is crowded but so quiet I can hear the echo of my footsteps. I didn’t bother to bathe, let alone change into something more appropriate for this occasion. My shirt is dust-stained red and wilted from a day spent in the sun, in the sparring ring, where I beat my tension into submission until I couldn’t so much as lift my arms anymore. Fae guards stomp beside me, flanking me on either side until we reach the top of the staircase leading down to the wide, ornate ballroom where a crowd of mostly men waits. The balcony overlooking the ballroom is wrapped in banners, like some kind of celebration is being held soon, the decorating in the early stages. A celebration for the victor, the champion, of the Trials that are not yet over. Several faces turn as I move down the stairs on my own. My boots leave red-hued dirt in their wake, a bright stain on the marble tiles–like blood. Like every step is a reminder of the blood spilled only to entertain these beings
