Kade's POV

I was awake before the guards called the shift change, which meant I'd beaten the dawn by a comfortable margin.

I lay still and listened to the distant call go up, one guard to the next, the sound moving around the perimeter of the pack house like a slow, bored echo of itself.

Then I got up, got dressed, and went to work. Because that was the whole of it, really. That was every morning.

The study smelled like old paper and a fire that had given up sometime in the night. I poured wat

  • The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers   Chapter 127

    Kade's POVThe council chamber looked like a mini battlefield.Broken chairs scattered across the stone floor. Papers everywhere, some of them still drifting off the edges of the overturned table like they hadn't gotten the message yet that the meeting was over. There was a smear of blood near the far wall that nobody had touched, dark and dried at the edges, with servants stepping around it carefully like it might have opinions about being cleaned up.I stood at the head of the table and watched them work.My face was calm. My hands, locked together behind his back, were not."Clear the room," I said, not looking at anyone in particular and meaning everyone in the room at once. A servant near the window froze mid-step. "Everything. Every broken piece, every scattered paper, every chair that isn't standing where it belongs. I want this room to be clean before morning."The servant unfroze and moved faster."The wounded," I said next, turning his head toward the guard captain standing

  • The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers   Chapter 126

    Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-SixAurelia's POVWe crashed into the thick undergrowth, branches whipping at our faces, catching at our arms, snagging everything they could grab. My lungs burned. My legs ached in the deep, specific way that came from running on nothing but panic and adrenaline for too long. And the tole of that was beginning to take shape in my chest. The sounds of pursuit were distant. Not fully gone, that's not a conclusion to be made in our current situation. Rylan slowed first, his hand coming up, and we all pulled to a stop between two thick trees, breathing hard."We can't just keep running," he said, voice dropped low, hands braced on his knees before he straightened. "We need to do more than that. We need to actually throw them off."Kaelen wiped dirt from the side of his face. "You have something in mind?" He asked. "Let's make a false trail," Rylan said. "We break branches, trample leaves, make it look like we went east." He looked between us. "Then we ac

  • The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers   Chapter 125

    Kade's POVThey walked in like they belonged there, which I had to respect even while it annoyed the hell out of me.All four of them. Kaelen first, unhurried, face giving nothing away, with Kaelen, I'd never been sure which. Rylan behind him, doing his exit-mapping thing the second he cleared the door, eyes touching every corner like he was already planning the part where he left. Torin, quiet, arms loose at his sides. And then Aurelia, spine straight, chin up, wearing the expression of someone who had made peace with something before walking through a door and had walked through it anyway.I watched them take their seats."Nice of you to come," I said.None of them said anything. Kaelen looked at me. Rylan looked at the table. I called the meeting to order.The first part went the way I'd planned, the law, the precedent, the ancient prohibition on Drakos, all of it laid out clean so that every elder in the room had the same foundation before I named who'd broken it. They nodded alon

  • The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers   Chapter 124

    Aurelia's POVThe daylight hit like a slap and I didn't have time to blink through it.Horses. Four of them, already saddled, already tied to the post at the side entrance. I stopped for half a second, just long enough to take it in, I looked at Kaelen."You planned for this," I said, already moving toward the nearest one.He didn't look at me, fingers working at the reins quick, "I plan for everything," he said. "Mount up rather than asking questions.”We mounted and rode.The courtyard stone gave way to dirt that gave way to the open road, and the wind came in fast and cold and I pressed low over the horse's neck and let the animal do what it was built for. My fingers tightened in its mane. I stopped thinking and just moved with it.Behind us, the shouting started.I glanced back, I couldn't help it and caught the first blur of movement at the gates before Rylan's voice cut through the wind beside me."Don't look back, it slows you down.""I'm gauging the distance …”"Ten guards, m

  • The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers   Chapter 123

    Aurelia's POVThe guards moved the way guards moved when they'd been told to move, with blunt and committed energy. Rylan stepped forward to meet the first one, his voice cutting across the chamber. "You'll regret this decision." He said it directly to Kade, not to the guard, his eyes finding the head of the table over the approaching bodies. "Whatever you think you're building here, you'll regret it.""Cold comfort from a cell," Torin said, coming up on Rylan's right, his voice low and carrying no heat whatsoever, which somehow made it land harder.Kade's face did something then, a brief, involuntary tightening that he got back under control in the time it takes to blink, but I was watching and I saw it.Before he could answer, one of the elders at the far end of the table was on his feet, his face the colour of a man whose blood pressure had been making poor decisions. "They dare threaten the Alpha!" His voice cracked with it. "After breaking sacred law, after lying to this counci

  • The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers   Chapter 122

    Aurelia's POVThe chamber was already full when we walked in, which meant everyone had a clear view of us doing it.Every head turned. The murmuring didn't stop, it just changed pitch, the way a room sounds when its topic has walked through the door. I kept my eyes forward and my chin level and my hands relaxed at my sides, which took more effort than any of the training had. I honestly didn't think I'd be straining this much to remain composed. Kade sat at the head of the long table looking like a man who had arranged every detail of his morning and was satisfied with how it was coming together. Aldric stood at his left shoulder with his arms folded, his face doing its usual impression of a wall. Giving nothing away. We took the seats near the back. I sat between Rylan and Kaelen, Torin on Rylan's other side. Under the table, my hands found each other and stayed there.Kade let the noise settle on its own, which told me he was in no hurry."Thank you all for coming," he said, his v

  • The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers   Uncanny encounter

    Aurelia's POV.I couldn't move.I knew it wasn't him. Some part of my brain was saying that clearly, calmly, the way Kaelen would say it, this is not real, the ruins show you what you fear, Jaren told you this, you know this. That part was working fine.The rest of me was completely useless.Becaus

  • The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers   Questions With No Easy Answers.

    Aurelia's POV.I woke up to Torin's elbow in my direction and Rylan's back taking up more space and for a moment I just lay there staring at the ceiling thinking. "You're on my side." I said to no one specific."There are no sides." Torin said, from somewhere to my left, already awake, "I believe

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

    Aurelia's POV.The cave was not comfortable but it was defensible, which was the only thing anyone cared about right now.The guard found it, or remembered it, pulling us off the main path toward a rockfall that looked impassable until he showed us the gap behind it, wide enough to get through in a

  • The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers   Revival and Recourse

    Aurelia's POV.I stared at him for a moment, just to make sure I wasn't imagining it. His eyes were open, glassy and confused, but open, and his hand was still around mine with that weak deliberate grip that meant he had chosen to reach for something and found it."Hold on." I said, and turned and
