The Mate They Threw Away 286. The Debtor’s Mistake
Dominic“You may be the Alpha,” Lord Baron said, leaning back in my chair with the relaxed insolence of a man who had badly miscalculated his own importance, “but in here, you are just another debtor.”I showed nothing on my face.There was an art to that, to letting a man talk himself further into the grave he was digging, to giving him just enough rope and just enough silence that he mistook my patience for uncertainty. Lord Baron had never been intelligent enough to recognize the difference between a predator that hesitates and a predator that waits.He was a low-ranking Beta, noble by birth and a failure by every measure that had ever mattered to me. He had been born into privilege he had done nothing to earn and had spent his life since compensating for the fact that he had never once proven himself capable of holding power through anything other than money. The result sat in front of me now, overweight in the particular way of men who substitute appetite for ambition, his chin f

Dominic.I watched with interest as a demon was brought out of its glass cage and made to kneel before Circe. My specialist nodded to me respectfully and left.Demons were like rodents in Silver Crests. They were many, deceitful and mischievous. They had human features but what gave them away was their ears which was pointed and fangs on their upper teeth.They came in all colors. Red skinned, green skinned or even normal human skin. They were also magical creatures which means that they had magical origins. What demons knew how to do best was grant wishes.This is one in my prison was captured by me because he failed to grant me one wish after he tasted of my blood.Demons were addicted to Alpha blood due to the powerful essence it held. Like Aurora, they fed on energy but theirs was through blood and not sex.“Prince Dominic,” the demon purred and smiled desperately. “It has been a while since I have laid eyes on you." "Trickster,” I replied. “As of this moment, you are no long

SageHe stumbled away without speaking.I watched him go. The crowd did not fill the silence the way crowds usually fill silences, with noise, with movement, with the instinctive covering-over that groups do when something uncomfortable has happened in their midst. Instead they stayed where they were and stayed quiet, and the quiet had a texture to it. The weight of people recalibrating.They had felt it. All of them within range had felt the magic, and the feeling of it was written across their faces in different combinations of the same essential ingredients, unease, fascination, the particular wariness of people who have just encountered something they do not have a category for.A werewolf with magic.I understood the reaction. I had spent long enough being the thing people didn’t have a category for to recognize it on sight.“Perhaps Lady Sage would prefer somewhere private.”Argos materialized at my right side with the timing of someone who had been watching carefully and had ch
The Mate They Threw Away 283. The Prince’s Other Kingdom
SageI wanted to leave.The desire had moved past wanting and into something more physical, a pressure behind my sternum, an itch beneath my skin, the specific restlessness of a body that has absorbed too much and is now quietly insisting on an exit. I had told myself I was prepared for whatever Dominic wanted to show me. I had believed it, the way you believe things when you are trying to be brave and haven’t yet encountered the specific thing that will prove you wrong.I had not been prepared.I could not stop seeing Dominic’s face when Circe walked in. That flicker of recognition, immediate and unguarded, the kind that surfaces before a person has time to decide whether they want it to show. He knew her. Not casually. Not the way you know someone whose name you once heard in a room you were passing through. He knew her the way people know each other when something significant has passed between them, when the history is layered and textured and probably not simple.It pissed me off
The Mate They Threw Away 282. Leave and Never Come Back
The walk back to my room felt strange in a way I couldn’t name for the first few minutes then I named it: it felt normal. Ordinary. The hallway was the hallway it had always been. Pack members moved through it on their way to breakfast, to training, to wherever their ordinary mornings were taking them. Some nodded. Some smiled. One of the younger women asked me how I’d slept.I told her fine.They didn’t know yet. The rumors were probably already moving through the pack the way rumors always did, fast and shapeless, picking up detail and distortion in equal measure as they traveled from mouth to mouth. But they hadn’t reached everyone. The morning was still new enough that I could walk through it without the knowledge of what I
The Mate They Threw Away 281. What Rejection Costs
The room emptied slowly. It wasn’t because anyone lingered. Because everyone left me behind, and there is a particular kind of slow to that, the slow of watching people choose to walk away, one after another, until the space they occupied becomes a shape you can still see even after they’ve gone.Selene left first.She didn’t look at me again. One moment she was standing in the doorway with her hands pressed to her mouth, crying so hard her whole frame shook with it. The next, she had turned and disappeared down the hall, and the space where she’d been standing closed over like water.My mother followed immediately, one arm pulling Selene close against her side.Protecting her. Comforting her. Moving like a woman who had just watched her real daughter nearly lose everything.I stood very still and watched them go.My father came last. No final warning. No second look in my direction. No pause at the threshold the way people pause in films when they want you to believe they’re consider

Sage.“Save your sympathy, Sage,” Malice said. “It means nothing to me.”I shook my head in awe as I watched him. I could not imagine a crueller fate. Losing a son and then losing the natural ability to transform into a werewolf. Something that was meant to be natural but was no longer natural to

Sage.Avoid him at all cost. I thought to myself as I settled down on the soft bed in the east wing of Silver Crest Library. I did not bother asking where Asher was in the building as I did not want to know.I removed my trench coat, my shoes and stripped down to my undies. The silence was sooth
