The Mate They Threw Away 338. Sovereign Will I
SageKieran arrived without warning, the way he always did, like announcing himself first might rob him of some advantage."You didn't answer my calls," he said, standing in the doorway of my office like he owned the frame around it."I've been busy." I didn't look up from the file in front of me. "You might have heard. Plague mutation, Council inquisitors, a patient screaming through a spinal tap. Small things.""I heard you brought Dominic here.""He's coming tonight, yes.""Without consulting me."That made me look up. "I wasn't aware I needed your permission to invite people into my own clinic."He stepped inside, closing the door behind him with a quiet click that felt louder than it should have. "You're the mother of my child, Sage. Everything happening to you happens to Silver Crest. That includes who you let stand beside you when the Council starts circling.""Noah is my son," I said evenly. "Not a policy consideration.""He's both." Kieran crossed the room, close enough now t
The Mate They Threw Away 337. What the Spine Remembers II
Sage.The lab was too quiet when I got there, which was its own kind of alarm. Nessa was hunched over the microscope, utterly still, one hand pressed flat against the counter like she needed it to stay upright."Nessa."She didn't look up. "You need to see this yourself."I took her place at the eyepiece, adjusted the focus, and felt my breath catch the way hers must have.The flecks weren't debris. Under magnification they resolved into something with structure,tiny, geometric, mo
The Mate They Threw Away 336. What the Spine Remembers I.
Sage.The feral Alpha had been chained to the reinforced bed for six hours by the time I got to him, and even from the doorway I could hear him growling low in his throat, a sound with no words left in it."His name's Baric," Nessa said, keeping her voice level, professional. "Third-generation Alpha out of the eastern packs. Started showing symptoms four days ago. By this morning he'd stopped responding to his own name.""Family?""A mate. She's in the hall. Insisted on staying.""Bring her in. If he responds to anyone, it'll be her."The mate was young, maybe mid-twenties, eyes red-rimmed and swollen from crying but dry now, like she'd run out. She took Baric's hand the second she was close enough, and something in his growl hitched, softened, before roaring back louder than before."He knows you're there," I told her gently. "That's good. That means whatever this is, it hasn't taken everything yet.""Can you fix him?""I'm going to try. But I need to see what's happening inside him
The Mate They Threw Away 335. Threads in the Dark II.
Sage.I didn't have time to sit with my anger before Nessa found me again, this time with a tablet in hand and an expression I'd learned to be wary of."Two more," she said."Two more what?""Two more patients presenting the same way. Threads under the skin, fever that won't break, complaints about hearing a bond hum that shouldn't exist. One's a teenage girl, unclaimed. The other's an Omega in his sixties, widowed, no living bond at all."My stomach dropped. "That rules out anything to do with an actual mate connection.""That's what I thought too.""Bring me their charts. And get me back into that exam room, I want to run the nerve study on the first patient before anything changes."She fell into step beside me as I moved through the hall, tablet balanced against her forearm, scrolling. "There's something else.""Of course there is.""The teenage girl's mother said it started two days after a Rift tremor was reported near their farm. Small one. Didn't even make regional news."I st
The Mate They Threw Away 334. Threads in the Dark I.
Sage.The Sanctuary smelled the way it always did, antiseptic layered over something warmer underneath, herbs drying in the rafters, the low hum of the ward machines. I hadn't realized how much I'd missed it until I was standing in the doorway of Exam Room Two, looking at a patient I didn't recognize."Male, mid-twenties, presented two days ago," said Nessa, my head nurse, flipping through his chart without looking up. "Fever that won't break, tremors in the hands, and he keeps saying he can hear his own bond humming even though he's never been claimed.""That's not possible," I said."I know it's not possible. That's why I paged you the second you crossed the gate."The young man on the table was pale, sweat-slicked, staring at the ceiling like it had wronged him personally."Hey," I said gently, crouching beside him. "I'm Dr. Winters. Can you tell me what you're feeling?""Threads," he rasped. "Under my skin. Moving.""Threads.""You'll think I'm insane.""I promise I won't." I reac
The Mate They Threw Away 333. Cliffside and the Waking Rift II.
Sage.It happened three hours later, while I was standing at the window watching the water turn black under the moon.The pressure came first. A tightness behind my eyes, like the air itself had thickened. Then the taste,metallic, sharp, like biting down on foil. My chest pulled inward, a sensation I couldn't place until it sharpened into something unmistakable: a pull. Like a hook set behind my sternum, drawing toward something far away."Dominic." My voice came out strange, thinner than I meant it to.He was across the room in a second, hands on my shoulders, turning me to face him. "What's happening."
