She went still.

“All those weeks. You hiding how sick you were. Pushing through, pretending you were fine, telling me not to worry while you ran yourself into the ground.” I covered her hands with mine. “I watched you do it and it made me insane. Because I loved you too much to watch you suffer and you

    DarienShe went still.“All those weeks. You hiding how sick you were. Pushing through, pretending you were fine, telling me not to worry while you ran yourself into the ground.” I covered her hands with mine. “I watched you do it and it made me insane. Because I loved you too much to watch you suffer and you wouldn’t stop suffering. And now here we are, and you’re looking at me the way I looked at you, and we’re having the same fight from the other side.”Her eyes glistened. A breath caught in her throat.“We’re the same,” she whispered. “We’re exactly the same.”“We are. Two people who’d rat

    DarienEvery night we repeated the same ritual. Leah lay back against the pillows. I stretched out beside her, my hand splayed flat over her heart, the mating mark on my neck warming against my skin until it pulsed in time with hers. It’s been three weeks of this, every night, and my body had learned the shape of it.I closed my eyes and found the doorway in my soul.It was easier now. The first nights, I’d had to search for it, fumbling for the opening like a man feeling along a dark wall for a light switch. Now it was simply there, a presence I could reach without looking, and when I pushed against it, it swung open and the cold rush of the shadows poured through me and into her.The landscape of her body unfolded around my awareness. Her essence glowing silver, woven through every cell, that warm familiar light I would have known anywhere. And threaded through it, the witch. The cold, oily darkness that didn’t belong, hiding in her contours, mimicking her shape.There, I told Andro

    LeahWe did it that night, when the kingdom was quiet and the only light came from a single lamp.Leah lay back against the pillows. I lay beside her, my hand splayed flat over her heart, the mating mark on my neck pulsing in time with hers. Andromeda rose to the surface, her presence filling Leah’s body like water filling a vessel, and through the bond I felt the doorway in my soul swing open.The shadows came.They poured from my hand, not into the room this time but into Leah, sinking through her skin, dark tendrils diving beneath the surface to a place that had no light and no air. And then I was there with them. Not physically. My awareness, my sight, riding the shadows into the landscape of my mate’s body.

    LeahI slept for almost two days after the fire.Not the natural sleep of a body healing. The other kind. The parasite-deep unconsciousness that swallowed me whole and held me under, surfacing only in fragments. Darien’s voice. The cool press of a damp cloth on my forehead. Maren’s hands checking my pulse. The smell of smoke that clung to Darien’s skin even after he’d washed it away because he washed quickly so that he was back by my side.When I finally woke for real, the late afternoon light was gold against the walls and Darien was sitting in the chair beside the bed, watching me. Like I might disappear if he blinked.“There she is,” he said softly. “My sleeping beauty.”“How long?”“Almost two days.” He moved to the edge of the bed and took my hand. “The east wing is rebuilt. Tommy and his mother stopped by yesterday to check on you. He drew you a picture.” He nodded toward the nightstand, where a piece of paper sat propped against the lamp. A crayon drawing of a woman with brown

    Leah Every time she shifted to smoke, the dark tendrils tracked her, mapping her true form inside the haze, and Darien’s claws followed where the shadows pointed. He fought with his eyes closed half the time, hunting her through senses that weren’t his, herding her away from me, cutting off every escape with walls of living darkness. “You can’t kill me!” Eyera shrieked, and there was something new in her voice … fear. “I am eternal! I have worn a hundred bodies! I will wear a hundred more!”

    Leah A child crying. Down the first-floor hallway. Deeper in the building. I didn’t think. I went. The hallway was filling with smoke, the lights flickering overhead, and the heat was real now, radiating through the ceiling from whatever was burning above. I dropped low, pulling my shirt over my mouth, following the sound of the crying through the gray haze. Third door on the left. A family a

    DarienI couldn't stop smiling.Here I was, the Lycan King, sitting in my office reviewing intelligence reports about potential Raven Witch sightings, and I was grinning like a fool.But I couldn't help it.Leah sat across from me at my desk, her hair falling forward as she read through the documen

    LeahI looked around the woods slowly, taking in every detail. The trees were too quiet. No birds singing. No small animals rustling through the underbrush. The scents were gone, somehow there was no smell here.

    Keanu was sitting up when we entered, looking completely unharmed and far too energetic for someone who'd been unconscious just moments ago. His eyes lit up when he saw me."Leah!" He bounced slightly on the bed. "Did you see me? I was a dragon! An actual dragon! I can feel my dragon side so much b
