The Bloodline They Erased Chapter 14: Steam, Towels, Bad Decisions
The silence lasted four seconds.Then the wolves started howling again, louder, confused, and Kael yanked his hand back like she’d burned him.“Stop doing that.”“I’m not doing anything!”“You’re bleeding.”“I noticed.” She wiped her lip with the back of her sleeve. Tamsin’s sleeve. Great. “Occupational hazard of being a monster, apparently.”He stared at her for a long moment. Something warred behind his eyes. Then he scooped her off the ground, threw her over his shoulder like a sack of feed, and started walking back toward the lodge.“Put me down!”“No.”“I can walk!”“You can run. That’s the problem.”She pounded on his back. It was like hitting a brick wall wearing a shirt.“This is kidnapping.”“This is the second time,” he agreed.* * *By the next evening, Nyra had made two important discoveries.First, the east wing had no hot water
The Bloodline They Erased Chapter 13: The Locked East Wing
Kael didn’t answer the question.He walked her back up the drive, through the massive oak doors of Blackmere Lodge, up two flights of stairs, and down a long hall that smelled of cedar and old smoke. Then he opened a door and waited.“In.”“Is this the dungeon?”“It’s the east wing. Third floor. No porch roof. No drainpipe.” He didn’t look at her. “Since you like climbing.”Nyra stepped inside.It was not a dungeon. It was a bedroom the size of her entire apartment back in Saint Veil, with a four-poster bed, a stone fireplace, and windows that looked out over a lake so still it held the mountains upside down.“Wow,” she said. “Your prisoners have it rough.”“You’re not a prisoner.”“Then I can leave.”“No.”“So I’m a prisoner.”“You’re a guest who isn’t allowed to leave.”“That’s the definition of a prisoner, Kael. That’s literally the dictionary.”Something
The Bloodline They Erased Chapter 12: White Flag at Blackmere Gate
The white flag was silk.Of course it was.Nyra watched it snap in the cold wind from the second-floor balcony of Blackmere Lodge, her fingers locked around the iron railing. Below her, the long gravel drive ran a quarter mile through the pines to a pair of black gates taller than a house.On the other side of those gates stood a prince.Three black cars idled behind him, engines purring like patient animals. Two figures waited beside them in long coats. One of them she recognized instantly.Silas Crane.The vampire who had knelt to her in a dead man’s chapel.The other figure stood in front of everyone, hands folded behind his back, as if he had all the time in the world.He probably did.“That’s him,” said a voice behind her. “Prince Lucien Draven. Three hundred and forty years old, and he still dresses like he’s going to a funeral he planned himself.”Nyra turned.Rourke leaned in t
The Bloodline They Erased Chapter 11: The Prince Calls First
Blackmere changed in seconds.One moment it was a lodge on a lake. The next it was a fortress.Doors slammed. Boots pounded on the stairs. Somewhere outside, a horn sounded, one long low note that rolled across the water and came back from the far shore. In the treeline, shapes began to move. Gray. Black. Rust. Wolves pouring out of the forest from every direction, silent and fast, taking positions along the drive like they’d rehearsed it a hundred times.They probably had.Kael was already moving through the great room, giving orders without raising his voice.“Rourke, I want eyes on the lake road and the old logging cut. If he’s at the front door, somebody’s at the back.”“On it.”“Tam, go with Mom to the—”“No,” Tamsin said.“Tamsin.”“I’m nineteen, not nine. I’m not hiding in the wine cellar again.”“The wine cellar is reinforced.”“The wine cellar has spiders the size of
The Bloodline They Erased Chapter 10: Lunch With Wolves
Wolves“Say something,” Kael said.Nyra couldn’t. Her hand was still on her shoulder blade, pressed flat, like she could hold the mark in.“Voss.”“I have that,” she said finally. “Right here. My whole life.”He went still.“Show me.”Every reasonable part of her said no. She turned around anyway and pulled the collar of the regatta shirt down over her left shoulder.She heard him stand. Heard the floorboards creak as he crossed the room. Then nothing. Not even breathing.His fingertip touched her skin.Barely. Just tracing the circle. Then the lines, one at a time, as if he were counting them.Thirteen.His hand was warm. Much warmer than hers. A shiver went down her spine that had nothing to do with the fever.Behind her, Kael let out a long, slow breath.“It’s quiet again,” he said, very low.“What is?”He took his hand away.“Lunch,” he said abruptly. “My mother’s making you come to lunch.”* * *Lunch at Blackmere was a long table, a stone fireplace big enough to park a car in, a
The Bloodline They Erased Chapter 9: The Locked Room
Nyra woke up in a bed that cost more than her car.Heavy quilts. Sheets so soft they felt like water. Afternoon light through tall windows.Her second thought was: Where are my pants?She sat up too fast. The room spun. Her head throbbed, her joints ached, and her mouth tasted like she’d been gargling pennies.She was wearing a T-shirt that said BLACKMERE LAKE REGATTA 2019 and a pair of flannel pajama pants three sizes too big.“Relax,” said a voice. “I changed you. Not him. He’d rather die. He went bright red just carrying you upstairs.”A girl sat cross-legged in the armchair by the window, holding a tray. Nineteen, maybe. Long dark braid, freckles, enormous gray eyes. Hoodie sleeves pulled over her hands.Those eyes. Nyra had seen them this morning in a creek.“You’re related to him.”“Tamsin. Little sister. Sorry in advance for everything about him.” The girl hopped up and set the tray on the bed. Soup. Bread. A tall glass of water and a bottle of Gatorade. “Mom says eat. Mom says
