Leah

I woke up feeling like myself.

I opened my eyes to morning light and felt the warmth in my limbs, the clarity behind my eyes, the absence of that hollow drag that had become so constant I’d almost stopped noticing it.

Darien had done this. Every night, a piece of himself poured into me so I could wake up like this. I turned my head on the pillow and looked at him, still asleep, and the guilt and the love tangled together in my chest until I couldn’t tell them apart.

    Leah“That’s what it feels like. I can’t prove it. There’s no banner, no demands, no leader stepping forward. Just a growing number of rogues behaving in a way rogues don’t behave.” His voice was grim. “I keep thinking I’m seeing patterns that aren’t there. But every time I tell myself it’s nothing, they do something that proves it isn’t.”I stared out the window at the kingdom waking up below, and the pieces I’d been turning over started clicking into a shape I didn’t like.The demon attacks that had leveled the packs and scattered the survivors. The fear that had spread through every territory. The packs that refused to unite because uniting meant surrendering their independence. Harlan’s coalition fracturing the wolf nations from within, then goi

    LeahI woke up feeling like myself.I opened my eyes to morning light and felt the warmth in my limbs, the clarity behind my eyes, the absence of that hollow drag that had become so constant I’d almost stopped noticing it.Darien had done this. Every night, a piece of himself poured into me so I could wake up like this. I turned my head on the pillow and looked at him, still asleep, and the guilt and the love tangled together in my chest until I couldn’t tell them apart.He looked exhausted even in sleep. The shadows under his eyes hadn’t been there a month ago. His face, usually so composed, had gone slack with the kind of tiredness that only came from giving more than you had. He was burning himself down to keep me lit, and I’d made him promise not to give too much. I knew he was keeping the promise as well as a man like him could keep it, which was to say he was probably still giving more than he should.I pressed a kiss to his shoulder, soft enough not to wake him, and slipped out

    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.

  • The Alpha’s Shadow Luna   Chapter 163

    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
