Kol

The shot was so loud in the warehouse it resembled thunder. Then all was still. Steel paused half-swing, the whole shouting came to a halt, and even my own heart seemed to freeze.

Then I saw her. Agatha.

She was in the pathway between me and the shooter, and she raised her arms half and turned to look at me with a fierce determination on her face. Then she fell as though all her strength had failed her.

Blood came fast, and soaked her dress.

The rogue who fired still held his gun, shocked. He didn’t get another chance. Before the echo of the shot had settled, my guards overpowered him, and their guns flashed quickly, and their rage out-shrieked his cry.

My cane fell out of my hand and rattled on the ground. I sank down on my knees, my instinct overriding my judgment, as I laid my hands on her wound, and tried to staunch the blood between my fingers.

“Agatha—“ Her name slipped out of me before I could stop it.

Her eyes fluttered open, glassy with pain, but searching. And they found

    AuthorWhen morning came, it was red even through the mist that clung to the hills around the Lannister estate. From the looks of it all, it hdd as painted the white marble halls with a dash of rose and ash. And if anyone saw what was happening, it seemed like a quiet warning that something in the world was shifting, a balance tipping too far to be pulled back.Inside her room, Rain had not slept. Her journal lay open on the windowsill next to her, filled with drawings she couldn't remember making, sigils, faces, things that seemed more at home in the firelight than the daylight. She saw that some of the lines were written in her hand, and some were written in a script she didn't recognize at all.She continued to stare at them until she noticed her reflection in the window. It wasn't as if she had been trying to see herself. Staring into the reflection, she didn't recognize her own face; the girl looking back at her was no longer hollow, her hair hung loosely around her framed face,

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   The Hollow Crown

    KolI sat beneath the holographic crest of the Lannister pack projected at its center like a dying star, with my cane at my side, surrounded by men and women who once called me Alpha.“Let’s not waste time,” Elder Kalis said, his voice a viper’s hiss disguised as civility. “The packs are restless. The rogues regroup. Our borders weaken. And you—” he gestured toward me with deliberate contempt “—can barely stand without that cane.”The murmurs swelled. A few sympathetic glances flickered my way, Sorah’s among them, but most avoided my eyes. Power made them hungry. Fear made them bold.“You would do well to remember,” I said, keeping my voice calm, deliberate, “that a cane doesn’t weaken the man who carries it. It’s what keeps him walking after everyone else falls.”Kalis smirked, leaning forward. “Poetic. But the packs need strength, not poetry.” He turned to the room. “Therefore, I propose we appoint an Alpha Regent, someone young, capable, untainted by… recent scandal.”He didn’t eve

    EliasThe whispers going about in the council wasn’t new. Infact, the news spread among us like mould left to rot in the corner of a house.I had been summoned under the pretense of a “private consultation,” though I knew better. Nothing in the Council of Elders happened privately anymore. Every word spoken here had an audience, seen or unseen.When I came into the chamber, it was dark. Robed elders sat silent in half a circle, with the odor of incense heavy in the air. The person who looked back at me was Sorah, composed, stable, one of the few remaining who had not yet sold her soul to politics. I mean, she learnt a great deal of a lesson after the last stunt she pulled.“Sit down, Elias,” she said, gesturing for me to sit. “Thank you for coming. We won’t keep you long.”Her tone told me otherwise.Kalis wasn’t here, which meant this wasn’t official. It was worse.Sorah leaned forward. “The Council is splitting. Some want to call for Kol’s removal. Others think a… transition of lea

    RainSeveral hours had not elapsed when I fell asleep when the whisper started once again.At first it was a low murmur which I might have sworn was the wind but it was not the wind. It was inside me."Blood remembers."I was sitting in bed with a heaving chest. The moonlight streaming over my room had changed to pale gold and not silver, and this soft fire covered the walls. I glimpsed at my hands, my palms were heated again. It was not a flicker, but a living, throbbing light that was crawling under the flesh like rivers of molten sunshine.My heart thundered. I leaned my two palms on the mirror facing my bed. It was as though my fingers were touching water troubled by a rock. My reflection was flicking, and my eyes were not gray, but gold. It was not me looking back, at least, for a moment.It was her. The woman from my dreams. It was he who talked to me of smoke and ash.“Blood remembers,” she whispered again, my mouth moving a fraction before mine.I fell backward and struck the

    AgathaSome days I could say that silence was heavier than iron.I had stone walls to my prison, but stone was not what the walls were composed of; they were composed of pity.And everybody believed I was utterly ruined now. Kol, Aria, even my own daughters. They believed the trial had stripped me bare, that my tears in the great hall had been the final act of a pitiful woman begging forgiveness she didn’t deserve.Let them think that.The truth was simpler: guilt eats you alive only if you let it. And I had no intention of dying yet.The outer quarters were colder than I remembered. Once, this part of the estate had belonged to visiting nobles, now it was where Kol sent what he no longer wanted to see. Me.I spent my days by the window, staring at the garden where my daughters sometimes walked with Aria or Rain. I never called out to them. I didn't deserve to. Yet there were moments, when Mina was laughing, that sharp cutting sound, which made me think of her father, and I plastered

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   What Burns Beneath

    EliasAfter all these years patrolling the borderlands, the first truth I’d learned was that the silence of the forest wasn’t peace. It was patience. It listened. It watched.And tonight, it was listening to me.I cut off the motorcycle’s engine behind me as I got down from the seat and onto the dirt trail. There was fog surrounding the lower part of the ground and the night was heavy. With me, were five seasoned guards, people who I trusted could handle this situation… but even their breathing sounded too loud in the dark.We were supposed to find three missing scouts. They’d been stationed here two nights ago, watching the perimeter after the last rogue skirmish. No one had heard from them since.“Spread out,” I ordered. “Don’t go past the tree line. Look for anything, prints, tracks, blood.”The men moved quickly, as their boots crunched over frost and leaves. Meanwhile, I searched the underbrush for any signs of struggle.And just like that, I saw it. A piece of cloth that was bur
