SERAPHINE

I paced Ma Agatha's small living room for the third day straight, the floorboards creaking under the same worn path my feet had carved since the night she'd told me the truth about my mother, restless in a way that felt like something crawling beneath my skin, unable to settle anywhere long enough to catch my breath.

"You haven't eaten anything since yesterday." Ma Agatha's voice carried from the small kitchen, tired but firm. "You'll waste away if you keep this up, Sera."

  • The Deaf Alpha’s Unexpected Mate    CHAPTER 66: The Weight of Her Breathi

    KAELI counted her breaths the whole way home.One. The car struck a rut on the harbor road and her head rolled against my arm. Two. I slid my palm beneath her skull and held her still. Three. Her lips had gone the color of ash, and a thin thread of green had crept from the corner of her mouth where the poison was working its way out of her. Four. I pressed two fingers to the hollow of her throat, just below the wound, and felt a pulse so slow that I stopped breathing myself until the next one came.The world outside the windows slid past in silence. Mohan sat across from me with his hands knotted in his lap, not signing, his eyes fixed on her face. Cassian drove like a man trying to outrun the sun. The engine's vibration traveled up through the seat and into my spine, the only sound I had left, and it felt like a drum beating for a funeral I refused to attend."Faster," I said, and couldn't tell whether I had shouted it or whispered it.Mohan shook his head, slowly. Nothing he could

  • The Deaf Alpha’s Unexpected Mate    CHAPTER 65: The Hit Meant for Me

    KAELThe grain docks lay under a sky the color of dirty pewter, cranes standing like gallows against the dawn, and the warehouse crouched at the end of the pier with its shutters drawn and its mouth shut tight. The air tasted of brine and diesel and old rot. I stood in the lee of a stack of shipping crates with Seraphine's fingers curled around my wrist, and every sound the harbor owned poured into my skull: gulls screaming over the water, the slap of the tide against the pilings, the low, steady breathing of forty wolves holding position in the dark behind me."Two guards on the north door," Cassian murmured, crouched at my shoulder. "Three on the loading bay. Snipers on the roof, two that I can see.""Wolfsbane?" I asked."The whole yard reeks of it, Alpha. The dust is on everything."Seraphine's grip tightened. I felt the tremor in her hand, felt her pulse jumping against my skin, and I turned my head enough to find her eyes in the gloom."You stay behind the second line," I said

  • The Deaf Alpha’s Unexpected Mate    CHAPTER 64: The Howl That Reached My Ears

    KAELI didn't remember crossing the chamber floor. I remembered the doors flying open under my palms, the torches shuddering in the wind they let in, and the Speaker's voice trailing behind me, calling my name in a tone built to sound like concern.I didn't turn around.Outside, the sky had gone the color of a bruise healing. The Betas fell into step around me without being told, Mohan at my left, Seraphine at my right, my own breath steaming white in the cold. I was halfway down the stone steps when my phone buzzed once against my ribs.Unknown number. A message, this time, no voice.How does it feel to lose?Draven.I stopped on the step so abruptly Cassian nearly collided with my back. For one long second the whole world narrowed to the pale glow of that screen, to the four words he'd chosen, to the smug little question mark at the end of them. I thought of Isolde's driver with his throat opened. I thought of a woman in a sapphire gown dragged into the dark. I thought of a c

  • The Deaf Alpha’s Unexpected Mate    CHAPTER 63: Before the Doors Opened

    SERAPHINEThe police left as the sky behind the manor gates bled from black to bruised grey, their taillights shrinking down the drive while a clock somewhere inside the house struck five. The caller's deadline was dawn. We all knew exactly how little night remained.The housekeeper had wrapped my torn feet in clean linen and found me a pair of flat boots two sizes too big. I'd knotted the crimson hem of my gown above my knees so I could move. I looked like a woman who'd walked out of a ballroom and into a war, and I decided that was accurate.Crescent Hall rose out of the mist ahead of us, its torches guttering in the damp wind, its tall doors shut against the dawn. Kael strode up the stone steps with six Betas fanning out behind him, boots striking the stone in a steady rhythm. I followed a few paces back, my borrowed boots slipping against my bandages with every step.A hand closed around my elbow and pulled me sideways into a pillar's shadow.Mohan.Kael had already reached the do

    ALLYI hit the floor hard, one of the men's boots pressing between my shoulder blades, pinning me flat against the cold wood like I was something dangerous rather than a girl who hadn't committed a single crime in her entire life. Across the room, Ma Agatha had sunk into a chair, her whole body wracked with coughing so violent I could hear the wet, rattling struggle in every breath she tried to draw, her hands pressed hard against her chest as she could physically hold her own lungs together through sheer will alone."Let me go to her." I twisted hard against the boot pinning me, desperate, my cheek scraping against the floorboards. "She needs help!""Stay still!" The man above me barked, his weight pressing harder, and pain flared sharply through my shoulder."She's sick!" I screamed it this time, my voice cracking with raw panic, watching Ma Agatha's face go a pale, frightening shade of grey between coughs. "Please, she needs help!"My plea landed on nothing. Calista stood near the

  • The Deaf Alpha’s Unexpected Mate    CHAPTER 61: What the Flashlight Found

    ALLYThe banging didn't stop. If anything, it grew worse, more violent with every passing second, the door shuddering so hard in its frame I half expected the old hinges to give way entirely, and fear gripped me so completely I could barely draw breath. There was absolutely no version of tonight where Calista discovering me hiding in this house ended well for anyone inside it."Behind the kitchen door, quickly!" Ma Agatha's whisper cracked with urgency, already pushing herself up off the couch despite how clearly exhausted she was, and I obeyed without a single second of hesitation, scrambling into the narrow gap behind the kitchen's half-open door, pressing myself flat against the cool plaster wall, my heart hammering loud enough I was certain it could be heard clearly through the floorboards."I know you're hiding those lowlifes in there, Ma Agatha! You'd better open this door right now!" Calista's voice rang out again, dripping with a fury I'd never once heard from her, not even on
