Sage.

I sat by his said on a bronze swanlike chair and watched as he handled his Court. Saturn’s rule was absolute and iron-fisted. There was no room for rebellion or defiance. Even the very air around us bowed to him and showed him respect.

I knew that I had to be on my best behaviour because he had my sister’s voice with him. I had seen Elvira using her magic but with Saturn casually taking away her voice, it revealed just how powerful he was as a creature.

  • The Mate They Threw Away   360. Bone-Singers I.

    Sage.The Council's response came within the hour, terse and grudging, immunity granted "pending further review"…which felt less like victory and more like a door propped open rather than fully unlocked, but I'd take it.I didn't get more than twenty minutes to feel relieved before the alarm sounded."Border breach," Nessa said, bursting into the recovery room where I was still monitoring Corin's post-treatment vitals. "Eastern perimeter. Multiple hostiles, unknown type, moving fast toward the settlement line.""How many casualties so far.""Three re

  • The Mate They Threw Away   359. Trial by Arena II.

    Sage.The Council Leader's heir was seventeen, pale and thin in a way that had nothing to do with youth and everything to do with weeks of failing treatment, and the moment I looked at him with the Twilight rising, I understood exactly why standard protocols hadn't touched whatever was eating him alive."His name is Corin," said the attending physician, a nervous man who clearly hadn't expected to be handing his patient over to the woman the Council was actively trying to prosecute. "We've tried everything in the standard formulary. Nothing's slowed the progression.""That's because it's not a standard infection." I studied the threading pattern beneath his skin, the same parasitic web I'd first seen in Marcus weeks ago, except denser here, more advanced, wound so tightly through his nervous system that it had started interfering with basic motor function. "This is late-stage Rift-plague mutation. The same thing I've been treating in dozens of other patients.""The Council didn't disc

  • The Mate They Threw Away   358. Trial by Arena.

    Sage.The young man's name was Teo, and he screamed twice before his throat gave out and the sound turned into something rawer, wordless, a keening that filled the trauma bay and didn't stop."Almost there," I said, though I had no real way of knowing that, my hand still closed around the frayed golden filament, working it back through the ragged tear with a patience I didn't feel. "Stay with me.""Sage, his blood pressure's dropping," Kessler warned."I know."I found the second thread, thinner than the first, nearly dissolved entirely, and wove it careful

  • The Mate They Threw Away   357. Indigo II.

    Sage."You're not answering the actual question," I said. "Why my clinic. Why now, with everything else happening."Aurora tilted her head, studying me with an unsettling patience. "Chaos is nourishing, Dr. Winters. Fear, hope, desperation, all of it tangled together in one building, that's a feast most places can't offer. I didn't choose Dr. Halden randomly. I chose this Sanctuary because it's the most emotionally saturated place in the territory right now.""So you're just here to feed. Nothing more.""Nothing more," she agreed, though something in the careful precision of the phrase made me doubt it."I don't believe you."Her smile sharpened slightly. "You don't have to believe me. You just have to decide what you're going to do about my presence, which, I suspect, is the actual question keeping you standing so rigidly in this doorway."She wasn't wrong. I felt the weight of the decision pressing on me, call security, risk whatever chaos an actual confrontation might cause in a bu

    SageThe message came through Nessa three days later, brief and formal: a researcher named Dr. Fenwick, freshly hired to consult on the Rift-exposure cases, requesting a private meeting with the department head to discuss preliminary findings."I don't remember approving a new hire," I said, scanning the personnel file Nessa handed me."Neither do I. It came through with Council authorization attached. Fast-tracked, apparently, given the urgency of the situation."Something about that itched at the back of my mind, a wrongness I couldn't immediately name. "Show me the file again."

  • The Mate They Threw Away   355. The Coven's Ceremony II.

    Sage.Dominic found me in the courtyard an hour after the Sisters had departed, still sitting on the low garden wall, staring at nothing in particular."Nessa told me the coven came and went already," he said, settling beside me. "That's fast, even for a group known for being efficient.""They tried to bind me. Traditional ceremony, three days, the whole ritual. It didn't take.""Didn't take how.""Like their magic hit a wall that wasn't supposed to be there. Hekate said the ritual's bound wielders far more powerful than me before. It just didn't work on whatever this is." I rubbed my eyes, the exhaustion of the last two days sitting heavy behind them. "She said it might mean I'm outside the shape their traditions were built to hold."Dominic was quiet a moment, processing that. "How does that make you feel.""Untethered," I admitted. "Everyone keeps finding new things I can do, and nobody, including me, has any idea how to actually control any of it. I didn't ask for power that break
