The weapon hit the sand, and the sound echoed through the arena like a death knell. I watched it fall, and I watched it land, and I did not understand what I was seeing.
Leandro had been winning. He had been fighting with everything he had, refusing to give up even when the poison was spreading through his veins. And now he was kneeling in the sand, weaponless, and defenseless, waiting for Ramiro to strike.
I did not

Dario's POVI took one step forward, and Ramiro took one step back and found the ice shelf behind him. His shoulder blades hit the wall and he stopped."If the man is still in the castle, I will find him tonight, or tomorrow, or the day after, and he will not live to see the spring," I told him.The smile came back. "And how will you find him without a name?" Ramiro asked."I have a name, because you just gave it to me," I told him.Something moved behind Ramiro's eyes, and it was not fear yet, but it was the beginning of fear, and I had seen it before and knew what came after it.He changed his tone a third time, and this time he spoke softly, and he called me by my first name the way he used to call me on the border."Dario," Ramiro said, and he said it the way a man says the name of a dead friend. "Do you remember the winter we spent in the eastern fort, a hundred men and no food and the snow up to the second-floor windows?""I remember," I told him.He leaned his head back against

Dario's POVRamiro said the name, and I did not lower my sword, and I did not swing it, and the waste around us had gone very still.The ravine was narrow enough that if I reached out, I could have touched both walls at once. The ice was old and grey and scarred where other men had carved their names into it in years past, and the snow on the floor was packed hard from the boots of a man who had been running for hours.The ice shelves rose on either side of us and cut the sky down to a thin strip of black. Ramiro was three paces away, backed against the far wall, with his torn cloak hanging off one shoulder and his chest heaving.His face was red with the cold, and the skin at the edge of his jaw had gone white where the wind had bitten it. He had lost his gloves somewhere in the run, and his hands were red and raw at the wrists. His eyes were the same eyes I had seen across the throne room a hundred times.I kept my sword level. "Say it again," I told him.He did not answer at once.
The Lycan king Forbidden Mate chapter 116: The hunt begins
Dario's POVI had chased men through the frozen waste before, and I had never once brought one back alive.But I intended to bring this one back alive even if it killed me.The north gate corridor was full of prisoners and wounded and survivors moving between them, and I stood at the center of it with my sword still in my hand and my cheek still bleeding from the rebel who had caught me with the flat of his blade in the last push.The blood had dried at the edge of my jaw and pulled at the skin when I spoke, and I did not wipe it away.The corridor smelled of smoke and blood and wet wool, and the stones under my boots were slick with things I did not want to look at.My second, Esteban, crossed to me, and I did not turn my head."Report," I ordered."Three rebels kneeling against the wall, Capitán," Esteban replied, and he wiped snow off his brow with the back of his wrist. "Nineteen wounded in the corridor, four dead, and the gate is still holding.""Hold it," I told him, "and if the

Sergio's POV I shook my head. Then I looked at my hands in his hands.My hands were covered in blood, and his hands were too, and there was no way to tell whose was whose."I keep thinking about his face," I told him. "I keep thinking about how young he was. And then I think about the one in the alcove, and I cannot remember his face at all, and that frightens me more than the first one.""You are still here," Leandro said again, and his voice was quiet. "Say it back to me.""I am still here," I told him, and I did not believe it."The rebel in the alcove," I said. "I went into his throat. I felt it go in. I do not know if he had a family.""He was going to kill Clara," Leandro told me.I nodded. "I know.""You saved Mateo's mother." Leandro said, still trying to comfort me.I nodded again. "I know that too."I held my hands up between us. They were still shaking, and the candle flame jumped every time they moved."They have not stopped," I told him, and my voice cracked. "I have tri
The Lycan king Forbidden Mate chapter 114: The aftermath of the killing
Sergio's POV The sword was still in my hand, and I did not remember picking it up. I remembered Clara's kitchen knife. I remembered the weight of it in my palm and the worn leather hilt and the cold of the blade when I first took it from her hands in the alcove. I did not remember the sword. It was longer than the knife, and heavier, and there was blood on the hilt that had dried into the leather wrap and gone dark. I was standing in the north gate corridor, and the rebel wave was broken. Three rebels knelt against the wall with their hands on their heads. The corridor was full of the wounded and the dead and the courtyard survivors moving between them. Dario crossed to me. His cheek was still bleeding, and he did not wipe it away. "Go back to the great hall," Capitán Dario ordered, and his voice was flat and steady. "The prisoners and the wounded are mine to handle. The king needs you." "The east tower is still smoking," I told him. "I know," Dario replied. "I am sending fo
The Lycan king Forbidden Mate chapter 113: The tide turns
Sergio's POVI heard Dario's voice before I saw him, and I had never been so glad to hear anyone shout in my life.The scream was still echoing in the corridor when the noble came running back from the great hall.He was out of breath, and there was blood on his hands that was not his own, and he nearly went down on the stone before he caught himself on the wall."What happened?" I asked, and I did not leave the junction."A servant, my lord," the noble gasped, and he pressed a hand to his chest to steady himself. "The scream was a servant. She saw the runner come through the doors.""And the runner?" I asked."Dead," the noble answered. "Doña Clara killed him. She put a kitchen knife into his throat before he took three steps into the alcove."I closed my eyes for one breath. I opened them again."Go back," I ordered. "Tell Clara to hold the doors. Tell her I am still at the junction. Tell her not to move from the alcove until I come for her."The noble nodded and ran.The thin man w
The Lycan king Forbidden Mate Chapter 5: The Court
The nobles smiled at me whenever I walked through the halls of the Ice Castle, and that was how I knew they wanted me dead, because I had learned to read smiles a long time ago, back when I was a child who needed to know whether the person approaching him was going to hurt him or just walk past.My
The Lycan king Forbidden Mate Chapter 4: The First Touch
Three days passed while I sat in that room with the fire burning and the snow falling outside the window, and Leandro did not come near me, did not send word to me,and did not give any sign that he remembered I existed at all.I counted the hours as the sun rose and set behind the clouds that never
The Lycan king Forbidden Mate Chapter 3: The prison
The room had a fire, and that was the first thing I noticed when the guard shoved me through the doorway and closed the door behind me with a click that echoed in my ears like the sound of a cage locking shut.It was a real fire, with logs burning and flames dancing and heat pouring off it in waves
The Lycan king Forbidden Mate Chapter 2: The king
I had expected a monster, the kind of monster that lived in the stories my mother used to tell me before bed, with sharp teeth and claws and eyes that glowed in the dark, but when the doors of the throne room opened and Lycan king Leandro walked in, I realized that I had been wrong about everything
