Lucian's POV

The cold air outside the center tent had not cleared my head the way I hoped. I walked through the camp with quick steps, and my eyes jumped from face to face. A group of young warriors sharpened spears near the weapon racks. Two old men argued over a pile of salted fish. None of them was the one I wanted.

I finally spotted Brenna near the supply wagons. She was lifting a heavy sack of roots onto her hip, and she scowled at it as if it had insulted her mother. I crossed the snow an

    Elara's POV"I mean every word." His hand moved to rest lightly on my stomach, and the warmth of his palm sank right through my dress. "Take care of yourself. Take care of him. You are carrying a prince, Elara. An heir to the Southern throne. Whether you like it or not.""Do not say it like that," I whispered. "Like it is a crown I am wearing.""It is a crown. It is just inside you."I let out a shaky laugh and then went quiet again. A thought that I had pushed aside all day crept up from the back of my mind. "Lucian, what if the King wants the child? He wanted a bloodline. He might say the baby belongs to the North."I felt his hand tighten, just a little. His voice changed, and it was cold and steady, like iron. "Then he will say it to me. This child is mine. He has Southern blood, and Southern blood answers to the South. No Northern king has any right to my son. I do not care how many crowns he wears.""That is a dangerous thing to say.""It is the truth. And I do not say things I

    Elara's POVI felt him go still. For a moment I thought he might push me away. Then his arms came around me, slow and a little clumsy, and one of his hands slid up to cradle the back of my head."Do not go," I said into his chest."Elara.""I know I said I did not want you around. I said terrible things. I did not mean all of them.""Which ones did you mean?" he asked, and I could hear the smile in his voice."Some of them.""Hm. Which some?""The ones about your face," I mumbled.He laughed, a real laugh, and I felt it rumble through his ribs. "I knew it. Kane told me my face was a little ugly.""It is not ugly," I said, before I could think. Then I pinched his side. "Do not repeat that.""I will repeat it to everyone.""I will take the knife back.""You would not." He pulled back just enough to look down at me, and his gray eyes were softer than I had ever seen them. "Listen to me. I need to say something, and I want you to hear all of it.""All right," I said. My heart began to bea

    Elara's POV I looked down at my hands. I could not meet his eyes. I did not want him to see how scared I was, because scared was a weakness, and a weakness was the one thing I had learned never to show. But my fingers were trembling, and I could not make them stop."I do not like it," I whispered.He sighed and nodded. "I know." He whispered. "Something might happen to you.""Something might happen to anyone, on any day. A tree could fall on me tomorrow while I am eating breakfast." Lucian said. I shook my head. "That is not helpful.""It is a little helpful," Lucian said, and he stepped closer. "It makes your worry sound silly.""It is not silly," I said, and I looked up at him again. "Lucian, think about it. You are not just any wolf. The King needs you. He has spent a whole month and half the army's patience to keep you alive. If something happens to you on that ridge, he will be furious. He will blame Kane. He will blame everyone.""Is that your reason?" Lucian asked. "The King

    Elara's POVMy legs hurt. I would never have said it out loud, especially to the hearing of Lucian, but they hurt so much that I could feel my pulse in my ankles. I had walked from the kitchen to the stream, from the stream to the supply wagons, and from the wagons back to the kitchen again. Sable and Brenna had told me to sit down at least ten times. Each time I had told them I was fine, and each time Brenna had given me a look that said she did not believe a word.The truth was simple. I was not fine, but I was too proud to stop. If I sat down, Lucian would be right. And if Lucian was right, then I would have to admit that I had been angry at him all day for no good reason.I had a very good reason, I reminded myself. He had stared at me last night like I was a curse, and then he had walked out into the dark.So I had kept busy. I had kept moving. And I had kept away from him, which was not hard, because he was always in some tent with my brother and a table full of maps.By the t

    Lucian's POV "How is it your business what I do?" Elara said.I sighed loudly. "Elara, let us go.""I will go when I want to go." She answered."The sun is setting. You are cold. Let us go." I tried again, hoping she would see reason.She glared at me. I held her gaze and did not blink, and for several heartbeats the only sound was the running water. Then Elara rolled her eyes, let out a long, dramatic sigh, and marched forward. She walked straight past both of us with her chin in the air, so quickly that her braid swung from side to side, and she disappeared up the trail ahead.Sable burst out laughing. She laughed so hard that she had to lean on a tree and hold her stomach.I stood frozen with a stack of pots in my arms and my mouth hanging open. "Oh, Moon Goddess," I breathed. "Oh, sweet goddess above. Give me strength. What in the hell is this?""That," Sable wheezed, wiping her eyes, "is a woman with child. Come along, prince."We started up the path at a slow pace so that Elara

    Lucian's POV"I am sorry, Sable," I said, and I meant it. "I know I am interrupting your work. But I need to speak to Elara for a moment. I will return her soon.""Return me?" Elara said sharply. "I am not a borrowed knife.""You are not a knife," I agreed. "A knife would listen."Sable made a small choking sound and pressed the wet cloth over her mouth. Her shoulders shook."Do not laugh, Sable," Elara snapped. "You are supposed to be on my side.""I am on everyone's side, dear," Sable said, in a voice that was very tight. "I am only washing.""You are not washing. You are watching.""I can do both. I am very skilled."I let out a slow breath and crouched so that I was closer to Elara's height. I kept my voice low, so that only she could hear me over the rushing water. "Please," I said to her, quieter now. "Only a few minutes. If you still want me to leave after that, I will leave, and I will not say another word."She stared at me. Her eyes searched my face as if she was looking for
