Asylum, promises and a torn page

Anne

Nathan stood motionless in front of the photograph.

A few minutes earlier, he had held my hand in front of the entire council. Now he was staring at my mother’s face next to that of the deceased woman, as if trying to decide how much of that accusation he should place on my shoulders.

I knew that kind of silence well.

It was the exact moment when someone gathered enough prejudice to turn it into a verdict.

Don’t jump to conclusions. He just found out that H

    Some Truths Can't Be Frosted OverAnneGarret was arrested at six twelve in the evening.I knew because I looked at the clock and, apparently, my life needed precise schedules for every betrayal. Ravenshade's guards found him leaving a rented house to the south, with clothes, false identification and enough money to disappear for months.He didn't resist and that bothered me more than was reasonable.Nina bared her teeth.I wanted a chase.I wanted answers.We can want both.Nathan was with me when the message arrived. He didn't celebrate or say they finally had him. He only asked:"Do you want to be there?"The answer came quickly."Yes.""Then let's go."He didn't ask whether I was sure three times, didn't try to protect me from a conversation that belonged to me. He was learning, and I still lov

    My Chosen MateAnneThe alarm changed tone just as the last couple crossed the stairs. It wasn't louder, it was worse. A clean, regular, almost polite beep, as if the laboratory wanted to courteously inform us that it was about to try to kill us."What does that mean?" I asked.Cassian appeared from the side corridor."Silver sealing."Nina went rigid.I don't like that combination of words, she said through clenched teeth.I didn't like it either and an unpleasant feeling formed in my stomach."Where is Nathan?"Cassian looked behind him and my heart sank."He's shutting down the main chamber.""What chamber?""The one feeding the suppression lines.""And why is he there?"Cassian grimaced."Because if he doesn't shut it down, the emergency doors lock again and the prisoners get trapped."

    To Them, Loving Was FailingAnneThe first cell opened with a small sound, ridiculously small. After everything they had done there, I expected a door freeing people to sound like an explosion, but it was a click. The woman on the other side took a moment to understand."Come out," I said carefully.She didn't move, her partner, locked across from her, struck the glass."Lena!"She reacted and ran toward the door, but her legs failed, so I caught her before she fell."Slowly.""Him.""We're going for him.""Him first."Her voice broke and Nina whimpered.Open them all.Cassian worked on the central panel."Thirty seconds per cell.""That's too long.""I'm overriding physical locks."Nathan remained at the entrance to the corridor. A narrow shadow moved across the floor behind him. It

    The Girl Who Left a Trail of JamAnneThe laughter died when the phone vibrated inside Nathan's coat, he pulled it out and answered immediately."Blackstone."He listened for three seconds; then the color drained from his face and I saw it before I understood."No."Nathan raised a hand toward me, not to silence me, but to hold the air."When?"Cassian stopped smiling, so did Thalia. The voice on the other end spoke too quietly for me to distinguish words. Nathan closed his eyes."Pippa isn't with Mara."The mill disappeared, the boxes, the documents, the warriors, everything, and only that sentence remained."What do you mean she isn't there?"Nathan looked at me."A medical cart arrived at the safe point twenty minutes ago. They presented transfer authorization for smoke exposure.""No.""Mara argued."

    The Fugitive Inside the MillAnneThe cart smelled like flour, damp wood and wounded Alpha dignity. Nathan was hidden among six empty boxes marked MEDICAL SUPPLIES, with his knees bent and an expression that would have made me laugh if we weren't infiltrating a possible Circle base.Milo was driving. I sat beside him wearing a gray cloak and carrying fake documents that Thalia insisted on calling "legally creative.""Everything all right back there?" I asked."No.""Excellent."Nathan lightly struck one of the boxes."This is too small.""You're too big.""That doesn't help."Nina laughed.Grumpy luggage.Behave.We reached the mill shortly before noon. The building stood beside the river, enormous, gray and apparently abandoned. Apparently was a word I had started to hate. Two men came out when the cart crossed the gate. They weren't wearing uniforms; that made them more suspicious. One raised a hand."Documents."Milo looked at me and I smiled."Extraordinary medical transfer."I ha

    Magdalena, Civilian Logistics, and an Alpha Turned into LuggageAnneThe council arrived before we had finished cleaning the soot and I already found that offensive. The bakery still smelled like smoke, dirty water and burnt wood when Maxwell came in accompanied by four councilors, two scribes and the expression of someone who believes a tragedy improves when bureaucracy is added to it.Nathan was beside me, not in front of me, but at my side and that detail mattered."The council will take over handling the threat against Pippa," Maxwell announced.Mara let out a curse behind me and I raised an eyebrow."How efficient. Are you also going to take over rebuilding my roof?""Anne.""I'm asking."Maxwell ignored the question."A minor has been threatened, this goes beyond the limits of a private investigation.""Good thing it was never private, then."Thalia appeared from the table in the back with three folders in her arms."We have a formal complaint, evidence of a potential kidnapping
