I wake in his bed again.

I know it immediately, without opening my eyes or moving. The weight of his furs. The heat of his chest at my back. The slow brush of his breath against the crown of my head.

God damn it.

Yesterday, I managed to avoid him. Mostly.

I caught enough fish to trade for a loaf of bread and two bowls of soup from a stall near the south wall. I almost cried over that bread.

I think I did, actually.

The woman didn’t comment. Just wrapped it and slid it across the counter like she

  • The Alpha's Sentence   Chapter Twenty-Two

    “Rurik, hey, can I—” I say as I push open the door to his bedroom, peering around the cherry-wood frame.My voice catches the second I see him.He’s standing beside the bed, towel hanging indecently low on his hips, chest still damp from the shower.“Can you what?” he asks, dragging a smaller towel through his hair.I turn my back to him, trying to remember how to form a sentence.“I was wondering if I could be late meeting Jace today.”“Why?” His voice is closer than it was a second ago.“I wanted to go back to Carson’s,” I say, closing my eyes like that’s somehow going to stop me from thinking about him behind me.“For?”He’s right there now.“I need shampoo. Jace grabbed two bottles of conditioner.”“Why are you turning away?” he asks quietly. “This isn’t anything you haven’t seen before.”“I—”He’s right. I can’t even argue that.“It’s not anything you won’t see again,” he adds, his voice suddenly inches from my ear.His hand settles on my hip, turning me back toward him.The mome

    “So can I trade this…” I lift the brown package in one hand, pointing to a hairbrush on the counter with the other. “For that?”“You could,” he says, then adds something in their language to the woman behind the counter. “But you’d be severely overpaying.”I sigh and toss the package back into the wagon over my shoulder. “You’re not very helpful. Did you know that?”“My mother said those exact words to me every year on my birthday,” he says, completely straight-faced.I scowl, debating whether to tell him to fuck off. I don’t doubt he’d take it as an invitation instead of an insult.“She’ll take the brush, and these,” Jace says, tossing three opaque bottles into the cart. “Now you can give her the chuck.”What an ass.I reach into the cart and pull the package back out. “Daché,” I say, nodding toward her.Both she and Jace freeze. Just staring at me like I grew a second head.“What?” I ask, taking a small step back. I’m not even sure why. Neither of them has moved.“How did you know t

    I pull the front door open, following the sound of a heavy knock.I’m greeted by a smug Jace, smirking like the cat who just ate a canary.“Don’t,” I say immediately.I grab my coat off the rack and pull the door closed behind me.“I haven’t said anything yet,” Jace says, his eyes tracking my fingers as I fasten the buttons one by one.“You don’t have to. I see that dumbass look on your face.” I mutter, swearing under my breath when my fingers fumble. Of course that would happen right now.“Fine.” He shrugs, then motions to a dirty blue wagon behind him. “You’re not going to be able to carry all that.”“At least it means I won’t have to hunt again.” I sigh, holding my hand out for the handle.Jace picks it up off the ground and places it lightly in my hand.But he doesn’t let go.His hand stays wrapped around the handle where it rests in my palm, his soft brown eyes locked onto mine.“That knife thing,” he says. “It scared you?”“Doesn’t matter,” I snap, pulling my hand away from his.

  • The Alpha's Sentence   Chapter Nineteen

    I shouldn’t care. I don’t care. I…I tear my eyes away from Rurik and the brunette at the table, almost thankful for the distraction, when I feel Jace’s hand wrap around my arm.“Stay close,” he grumbles in my ear, leading me past the tables and the crowd lining the walls toward a side hallway.At the end of the hallway, we come to a massive, shining commercial kitchen. Everything is so metallic and modern, I actually feel my breath catch at the sight.Oh my god. Technology.I’m almost tempted to kiss the metal refrigerator doors. I’m so happy to see something that isn’t wooden or lined in fucking fur.“Evan!” Jace calls to a man entering through a pantry door, juggling crates of fruit.“Yeah, yeah. I heard,” Evan shouts from behind the crates, smoke trailing from a cigarette dangling between his teeth.When he sees me, he pauses.His eyes drag from my hair all the way down to my mud-soaked boots and the trail of dirt behind me, then back up to my face.Once our gazes meet, he scowls.

    “There’s a deer coming. Three minutes from the south,” Jace says, eyes vacant as he stares into the treeline.I watch his nostrils flare once. Then his pupils dilate.He’s smelling it out like a dog.That should dissuade me.Should stop the way my eyes keep tracking his silhouette out of the corner of my vision.It should stop me from catching his scent every time the wind shifts. The smell of his expensive cologne.It should definitely stop me from wondering who he’s texting every time he pulls his phone out.Who is he in a text war with?“Will this be enough to take down a deer?” I ask as I draw the string back, the arrow sliding into place against the notch.I close my eyes as I shift into the stance Jace forced me to practice until I swore my arms would snap off in revolt.I try not to think about the feel of his calloused hands as they guided me into position. I do anyway.“You’ll take it down,” he says it like he actually believes it.“If I don’t?”He turns to look at me. Then h

  • The Alpha's Sentence   Chapter Seventeen

    I stare at Jace’s chest inches from my face, then tilt my head back to meet his gaze. His brown eyes are locked on me, intense and unwavering.“Bullshit,” I say, steeling my voice. I’m surprised how solid it sounds when inside, I feel ready to melt into a Greer puddle.“What?”“Bullshit, Rurik won’t care. The whole reason I’m here is that Kline tried breaking hierarchy with me.”Jace hums again, but this time he sounds pleased as he takes a step back. He keeps his eyes locked on mine as he crouches down to retrieve the key.“I guess we’ll have to find out then, won’t we?” He says, holding the keys out in his hand.“Whatever,” I say, rolling my eyes as I reach for the keys.The moment my fingers close around the small metal object, his hand snaps closed around mine.“Let me go,” I choke out, heart trying to climb out of my mouth.“Relax, mutt.” He says, then chuckles lowly as his hand opens, releasing mine. He then bends until his mouth is an inch away from my ear. “I know how to wait.

    I can’t look up. The hands on my shoulders are still holding me in place, but I know that voice. The man from the diner.“Alpha, the sentence has already been read,” the old man says. There’s a wobble in his tone now.My blood runs cold at the title. Alpha. If anything I’ve read from all those paran

    I go cold.Then hot.“You got into my bed,” I say, because I need it to still be true.“You came into mine,” he replies.And the worst partis that my body doesn’t argue.I sit there a second too long, trying to convince myself t

    I wake in a bed of fur.It takes a moment for that to register. First there’s softness, thick and heavy around my body. Then the faint drag of coarse hair against my skin when I shift. Sight comes back second. I stare up at a ceiling of wooden planks, dim and unfamiliar.Not my bedroom.I must have

    “You have twelve minutes to eat, dress, and be ready to go,” he says, motioning toward the bowl of stew.“Have you met a woman before?” I ask, lowering myself into the chair and turning the wooden spoon in my fingers. I’m not sure I want to eat badly enough to risk a splintered lip.He doesn’t look
