Esteria

Saturday morning, I was beginning to understand one thing about Elowen Moonfang. She rarely made empty threats.

When she said I would train with her, she meant it.

I had barely finished breakfast when she appeared wearing black training clothes, her hair pulled into a high ponytail and a smile on her face that immediately made me suspicious.

“You’re ready.”

“That sounded more like a statement than a question.”

“Because it was.”

I looked down at the simple training clothes Mrs. Va

    Selianna “Take off the ring, Miss Drawolf.” I looked from Damon to the tray on the table between us. His green eyes remained on my face, and the guard beside the door didn't move. “Why?” “You were wearing it when you handled the banner. We are retaining the items that may have come into contact with the affected area.” My fingers closed around the stone before I could stop them. It was supposed to be empty now. Mother said it would hold only one imprint, and that imprint was no longer on my hand. Still, the thought of leaving it with Elliott's men made my stomach turn. “It was a gift.” “Then you can tell me who gave it to you.” “My mother.” Damon nodded. When I didn't move, he glanced at the tray again. I pulled the ring off and placed it down carefully. Without its weight, my finger felt strangely bare. “Is everyone being treated like this?” “Everyone who handled the ceremonial pieces is being questioned.” That wasn't the answer I wanted. I wanted him to admit that some

    Esteria “His breathing is easier now,” Tamara said. She was still bent over Cealin, with one hand resting lightly against his chest. I watched her face while she listened to the healer beside her. Neither looked alarmed anymore, but I couldn't make myself relax. Auren lay against my arm with his eyes closed. Every few seconds, I touched his cheek, afraid the heat would rise again. “Esteria.” I looked up. Tamara came toward me. “Let Nessa hold him while I check your hands.” “My hands?” “You've been gripping that blanket for several minutes.” I looked down. My fingers ached when I opened them, and that frightened me in a different way. I was so busy trying to protect him that I hadn't noticed how tense I had become. Nessa approached. “I'll stay right here.” I let her take him. She settled into the chair beside mine and began humming quietly while Tamara checked my pulse. “I am all right,” I said. “I know you're trying to be.” That nearly broke me. Across the room, Maren

    Elliott The heat struck before Marcus finished the prayer. One moment, Tamara's lunar energy moved gently through the blessing. The next, something pressed against my chest hard enough to interrupt my breath. I released Esteria's hand and looked toward her. “Elliott?” I passed Cassian to the nurse waiting behind our chairs. Only then did I brace my hand against the chair back. Setra rose immediately. ‘Something is wrong.’ I knew. But it wasn't the familiar burning deep beneath my skin. My wolf wasn't fighting me. Across the first row, a chair scraped. “Move away from him.” Alpha Osric Fenwick stood with one arm extended toward his Luna. Several people turned. “The curse,” he said. “He's losing control.” Tamara's head lifted sharply. She withdrew her hands from the ceremonial bowl, cutting off the flow of energy. The pressure eased. I straightened. “No, I am not.” Osric stared at me. Before he could answer, Cealin cried out. It was a sharp, distr

    Esteria “Your father is going to be late because of you.” Cassian continued gripping Elliott's finger while Maren tried to ease his small hand away. “I think his father is enjoying the excuse,” I said. Elliott looked down at our son. “I am ready.” “Your coat is on the chair.” “I know where it is.” I laughed. Maren finally freed him and settled Cassian against her shoulder. The boys were eight weeks old. Each had grown stronger in his own time, and Tamara had agreed that they could attend a short presentation with their carers beside them. She examined them again that afternoon before allowing us to leave. I wanted our people to meet them. I was also beginning to understand why Elliott checked the nursery every time he walked past. “Stop worrying,” he said when he came to me. “You first.” His mouth curved. I wore a dusty-rose gown with long sleeves and a softly gathered waist. Vivienne made sure I could sit comfortably and hold the boys without fighting the

    Ronan My father placed seven small wooden wolves inside a box, then counted them again. “I thought you already sent gifts,” I said. “Those were blankets. These can stay on a nursery shelf until the boys are old enough to play with them.” He lifted one, running his thumb over its smooth back. “They belonged to you.” I recognized the crooked ear before he set it down. “You kept them?” “Your mother wanted me to.” For a moment, I had nothing to say. Then he closed the box and smiled. “Elliott will understand why I couldn't bring myself to throw them away.” Of course. Even something from my childhood had become another reason to speak warmly about my cousin. We were at my father's house in Courtland. And all my father could say was all about Elliott and his pups. “Will Elliott attend the whole gathering tomorrow?” I asked. “He intends to.” “Has anyone told you how his health is?” My father looked up. “He looked well when I saw him.” “Looking well isn't always the same as b

  • The Alpha King's Lost Mate    Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Two — What They Inherited

    Esteria Two mornings after my first shift, Elliott caught me touching the mark at my neck again. “It's still there.” “I know.” “You checked before breakfast.” “That was because I liked it so much.” He smiled and came to stand behind me. In the mirror, his dark hair was still slightly damp from his shower, and his eyes warmed when they met mine. I wore a soft lilac cardigan over a pale top. The mark was visible above the neckline, and I no longer felt any wish to cover it. Elliott kissed the other side of my neck before resting his chin lightly against my head. “Happy?” I turned in his arms. “Yes.” Maya stirred inside me, so pleased with him that I almost laughed. I was still learning what it meant to share my thoughts with her. Sometimes she was quiet. Sometimes she gave an opinion I wasn't expecting. But even when she said nothing, I could feel that I wasn't reaching into an empty place anymore. A knock interrupted us. Maren stood outside. “Dr. Moontale is here for th
