CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR.

AURELIA’S POV.

The warm feeling of the morning sunlight on my face, accompanied with the soothing sound of birds chirping was the first thing I heard and felt as my eyes fluttered open slowly. I stretched leisurely, my eyes fixed on the ceiling for a few seconds before I realized how unfamiliar the room I was in, was.

My neck snapped to the side at the empty space beside me on the bed and my entire body stiffened as it all came rushing back to me.

The scream. The nightmare.

  • The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers   Chapter 108

    Aurelia's POVThe land got worse every mile and didn't even try to hide it.Blackened grass spread out in wide patches like something had burned it from underneath. Trees stood there stripped down to bones, bark gone, trunks slick with dark slime. We passed two dead animals within an hour of leaving camp, both leaking that black gunk, both surrounded by dirt that had turned the wrong color. My wolf kept stirring in my chest, restless and uneasy. She didn't bother saying anything because it was obvious, this place was rotting.Kade pulled his horse up next to ours sometime mid-morning. He did it smooth and easy, like he just happened to drift over."The last time you were in the ruins," he said. He stared at the road ahead, his voice doing that fake-friendly thing people use when they're actually interrogating you. "What did you find in the main corridor?""Stone," Rylan said. Flat as a board. "Lots of it."Kade's face didn't twitch. "And the residue on the walls? Did you make contact

    Aurelia's POVI woke up before the sun even decided to show up.I just lay there for a bit, staring at the ceiling. My stomach was twisting in knots, doing this weird flip thing that wasn't helping anyone. I sat up, threw my legs over the side of the bed, and started getting dressed. I needed to focus on buttons and laces so my brain wouldn't wander to all the bad shit waiting for us.I pulled on a warm shirt. Then a heavier jacket. My boots were broken in finally, so at least they wouldn't chew up my feet today. I slid Kaelen's spare knife into the hidden pocket inside my jacket and pressed my hand against it. Still there. Good.I headed downstairs.Rylan was already at the table. He had his blade out, running his thumb along the edge like the thing had insulted his mother overnight.and he was about to get revenge in a slow and steady pace. I plopped into my chair. "Morning.""You're late," Rylan said. He didn't even look up from the knife."I'm exactly on time." I grabbed a piece

    Aurelia's POVBreakfast was bread and cheese and this heavy quiet where all four of us were pretending we weren't waiting for something bad to happen.Rylan was reading. Or at least he was holding something that looked like reading. I noticed his eyes hadn't moved in about ten minutes. Torin was at the window, of course he was, arms crossed, coffee sitting there untouched, probably the same temperature as everything else in this damn house. Kaelen was eating steady and slow, you'd think he was running on autopilot with that motion, like his brain had checked out and his body was just keeping busy so nobody asked questions.I pushed a piece of cheese around my plate and kept my mouth shut."You're not eating," Kaelen said. He didn't even look up."I'm moving it around. That counts.""It doesn't.""Philosophically it does."He looked up at that. His eyes dropped to my plate, then back to me. He didn't say anything, just went back to eating. Somehow that felt worse than if he'd actually

    Kade's POVI stood at the window and watched them ride out.Kaelen first, spine straight, unhurried, the kind of man who rode like he'd already decided exactly where this was going before the horse even moved. Rylan hung back a half-length, and even from up here I could read the set of his shoulders, that particular tension of a man who'd agreed to something and was already running disaster scenarios in his head.The gates groaned shut behind them.I tracked the road until it swallowed them whole, until there was nothing left but dust settling."Well," Aldric said, from somewhere behind me. "That happened."I turned. He was still parked in his chair, fingers steepled, his face doing that thing where he looked like he had a queue of opinions lined up and was deciding which one to lead with."They agreed to the truce," I said."They were wary.""Everyone's wary, the point is they still agreed." I crossed to the desk and dropped into my seat. "It's a start."Aldric looked at me with tha

    Kaelen's POVThe guards led us through corridors built to make visitors feel watched, which worked, because I felt eyes on my back the entire way. We stopped at a heavy wooden door. It swung open without anyone knocking.Kade was behind his desk.He looked up, took us in, then leaned back in his chair like a man recalibrating something behind his eyes."I'll be honest," he said. "I sent that letter fully expecting you to burn it.""We considered it," I said."And yet." He gestured to the two chairs across from him.We didn't move. He noticed, a flicker at the corner of his mouth, and let it go."So." He folded his hands on the desk. "You came to confirm what exactly, that I'm not setting a trap? That my intentions are genuine?" His eyes tracked between us. "Smart. I'd have done the same.""What do you know about Drakos," I said. Not a question. A direction.He went quiet, studying me with the kind of patience that made me want to check my pockets. Then he stood, crossed to the window,

    Kaelen's POVThree cracks in the ceiling. I'd counted them enough times to know the left one ran longer than it looked from the door, and that none of them were getting any more interesting no matter how long I stared.I stared anyway. My body was wrecked enough to sleep for a solid week. My brain, though? My brain had missed that fucking memo entirely and was currently running laps through every gap in every scroll I'd read in the last month, lining them up like a goddamn accusation.I threw off the blanket and sat up."Fine," I told the empty room, and went to find something useful to do before I lost my mind.The library shelves looked exactly as full and exactly as useless as they always did at three in the morning.I pulled down four books I hadn't cracked in months, spread them across the reading table, and went through them the way you go through things when you already know they won't help, fast with one eye on the pages and one eye on the creeping certainty that the answer ju

    Torin's POV.Sleep did not come.I lay still for a long time and waited for it the way you wait for something you already know is not going to show up. My body was tired. That part was real, the heaviness in my arms and the ache that had settled into my shoulders from a day of holding everything wo

    Aurelia's POV.She came to tell me she knows something and is choosing to hold it." I said, "that is not the same as nothing.""It might as well be.""Torin." Kaelen said it once, quietly.Torin stopped. He exhaled hard and moved to the far side of the room.Kaelen's eyes came back to me, steady an

    Aurelia's POV.The woods held their silence around us and the dark pressed in from every side.Lyra stood a few feet away, close enough that I could see the tension in her jaw and the way her eyes kept moving to the trees behind her even as she tried to hold still. I looked at her steadily and kep

    Aurelia's POV.We reached the mansion as the last of the light left the sky.Nobody said anything when we got inside. Nobody needed to. Aldric's warning was still in the room with us the way a sound continues in the ear after the thing making it has stopped. Tomorrow night may not be so kind. We mo
