Aurelia's POV.

The path down the cliff face was technically a path in the same way that a collection of suggestions was technically a plan.

"That's not wide enough." I said, looking at it.

"It's wide enough." Kaelen said.

"For what? A very confident goat?"

"For us." He tested the first section with his foot, pressed his weight onto it, watched it hold. "Stay close to the wall and don't look down."

"Why would I look down."

"Everyone looks down." he said, and started moving.

I looked down. Once.

  • 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   Chapter 121

    Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-OneKade's POVSleep had decided it wasn't coming, which I accepted around the second hour of lying in the dark with nothing in sight. The halls of the pack house at this hour had their own thing to them, the torches burned low and far apart, the stone cold underfoot. I walked around without a destination in mind which wasn't something I did often enough to be comfortable at it.I heard them before I saw them.Near the garden corridor, voices, speaking in low tones, the cadence of a conversation that didn't want to be overheard. I slowed down without deciding to. Pressed back against the wall at the corner and turned to check who it was. Lyra. And Corvus, leaning toward her slightly, his grey head bent, his hands moving in the quiet emphatic way of someone making a point they needed the other person to receive correctly.I couldn't make out the words. The distance was too far to get anything, the stone eating the sound before it could get to where I

  • The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers   Chapter 120

    Aurelia's POVThe week moved slowly, the way it does when you're waiting for something and all of a sudden time feels slower than normal. Every morning I came downstairs expecting something. A letter, a rider, news through Kaelen's contacts inside the pack house. Every morning there was nothing, and the nothing came with tension and silence that couldn't be easily shrugged off with a couple of training sessions. Kaelen sent messages. Nobody answered. His contacts had gone quiet, and it was never a good thing whenever they went ghodt.The letter came on the seventh day.Kade's seal. Formal, clean, the wax pressed with precision that said someone had taken their time with it.Kaelen read it aloud in the living room, his voice flat and even, apparently we're being invited to the council meeting. Not the usual session, an expanded one, outside pack leaders invited, more names than any standard weekly gathering warranted.Tomorrow.The letter sat on the table between us when he finished.

  • The Lycan’s Tribute: Claimed By My Foster Brothers   Chapter 119

    Kade's POVThe fire had burned down to something that was more suggestion than heat, and I hadn't called for it to be restocked.The warrant sat on the desk in front of me, Aldric's careful handwriting filling the middle third of the page. I'd been looking at it for twenty minutes without picking it up.Aldric stood at the window with his hands behind his back, watching the sky do what it did at this hour, darken by degrees, the last grey light pulling back from the treeline."I want to issue it," I said."I know," Aldric said, without turning."Then say what you want to say about why I shouldn't, because I know you have that in mind."He turned from the window and looked at me. "The triplets have had time to build since Drakos," he said. "Corvus is already uneasy, we know that from the council meeting. There may be others. A public arrest, handled wrong, could fracture the pack along lines you haven't fully mapped yet.""Fracture it how?" I asked. "If enough of the elders see the ar

  • 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
