View MoreThe grand staircase of the Black Ridge fortress was an architectural masterpiece of obsidian and bone-white marble. It was also, as Elara was currently discovering, a death trap for anyone with a center of gravity that had recently relocated to their tailbone. "One step at a time, Elara," Fenris said, walking backward down the stairs with his arms out like a man trying to catch a falling piano. "Heel, then toe. Don't think about the tail. If you think about the tail, it wins." "It’s easy for you to say!" Elara hissed, her knuckles white as she gripped the banister. "You’ve had centuries to practice! I’ve had forty-five minutes and a honey pastry!" Every time she shifted her weight, her magnificent silver-white tail gave a counter-productive swish, threatening to sweep her off her feet. To make matters worse, her new ears were picking up every whisper from the Great Hall below. "Is she coming?" "I heard she tripped over a rug and took out a suit of armor." "I heard she’s so fluff
The morning sun crept through the high, arched windows of the Alpha’s suite, painting golden stripes across the velvet duvet. Elara groaned, burying her face in a mountain of goose-down pillows. Her head felt heavy, her muscles hummed with a strange, residual electricity, and her nose was currently informing her that someone three floors down was frying bacon with slightly too much black pepper. "Too loud," she mumbled into the silk. "The sun is too loud." "That’s the light, darling. Sound is what you hear with your—well, with those." Elara’s eyes snapped open. She sat up abruptly, and the movement caused a sudden, violent thump-thump-thump against the mattress. She froze. Slowly, she reached a hand behind her, her fingers diving through the blankets until they met something thick, exceptionally soft, and very much attached to her spine. "Fenris," she whispered, her voice trembling. "There is a rhythmic intruder in the bed." Fenris was sitting in a plush armchair by the hearth, n
The air at the summit of the Black Ridge was thin and bitingly cold, but Elara didn't shiver. Whether it was the adrenaline of the truth finally setting in or the proximity of Fenris, she felt a strange, internal hearth roaring to life beneath her ribs. The ritual clearing was a natural amphitheater of jagged basalt and soft, bioluminescent moss that glowed a pale, ethereal green. At its center stood the block of black stone Elara had once feared as a butcher’s table. Now, bathed in the unobstructed light of the gargantuan moon, it looked like what it was: a pedestal for a transition. Behind her, the pack had gathered in a silence so profound it was heavy. Hundreds of wolves, some in human form and some in their fur, stood with their heads bowed. There were no growls, no gnashing of teeth. The only sound was the rhythmic thump-thump-thump of heavy tails against the earth—a collective heartbeat of the mountain. Fenris stepped into the center of the light. He had discarded his ceremo
The heavy iron door groaned as Elara threw her weight against it, her breath coming in ragged, terrified hitches. She stumbled into the darkened corridor, her red silk skirts—the dress she was certain was her funeral shroud—hissing against the stone floors. Behind her, the Great Hall was a cacophony of sound. The thunderous howling of the pack echoed through the vents, and to her ears, it sounded like a thousand starving beasts cheering for the kill. "Elara! Wait!" It was Fenris. His voice was a booming command that shook the very foundations of the fortress. She didn't wait. She ran. Her lungs burned, and the heavy silver collar chafed against her neck, the small studs—which she was convinced were drainage taps for her blood—pricking her skin with every frantic step. She ducked into a side room, a small, circular chamber filled with the scent of dried herbs and old parchment. It was a library, or perhaps a study, but all she saw were shadows. She scrambled behind a massive oak de
