​​​​Kieran.

I was stiff with the feeling of disgust as the limousine gently eased to a stop inside the compound of Thorne. Expensive and vintage cars were lazily and hastily parked. Scattered across compound like dead flies. I knew that I was going to hate it immediately.

The chauffer silently opened the door for us and I stepped down from the vehicle. Sia clung to my arm and I suppressed a sigh. Let’s get this shit over with.

We both walked up the stairs and before we got to the large white go

  • The Mate They Threw Away   364. The Syringe.

    Sage.Kieran left an hour after the chains stopped visibly reacting, quiet in a way I'd never seen from him, like a man walking out of surgery he hadn't consented to. I watched him go from the window, still turning the shape of it over in my own mind, an entire species of grief I'd never questioned, rearranging itself in real time.I didn't have the luxury of sitting with it. Not with everything else waiting."You should eat something," Nessa said, finding me still standing at the window twenty minutes later. "You've been running on adrenaline and revelation for three days straight.""I will. After I finish something I started before Ki

  • The Mate They Threw Away   363. Chains of Light.

    Sage.I hadn't planned to look at Kieran that way. It happened by accident, mid-argument, three days after the Sovereign of One confrontation with Dominic, while Kieran was in my office trying to explain again why he'd once let the Council pressure him into signing away visitation rights during my darkest year with Noah."I didn't have a choice," he said, pacing in front of my desk. "The Ancient Covenant gave the Council direct authority over custody disputes involving anchor children. I fought it as hard as the law allowed.""As hard as the law allowed," I repeated, skeptical."Yes.""That's always been your line, Kieran. As hard as the law allowed. As hard as tradition allowed. As hard as the Covenant allowed. Have you ever once stopped to ask yourself why you never seem able to push past that particular wall?""Because it's the law," he said, frustration bleeding into his voice. "Because breaking Covenant law isn't a small thing, Sage, it's…"Something in the phrase snagged at me,

  • The Mate They Threw Away   362. Sovereign of One.

    SageI found the ledger tucked inside Dominic's desk drawer three days later, not because I was looking for it, but because I'd gone searching for a pen and found something else entirely.It wasn't the financial ledger he'd already shown me. This was different, a logistics document, coded in a shorthand I didn't immediately recognize, dense with names and dates and troop designations that meant nothing to me on their surface.I should have left it alone. I didn't."Dominic," I called, flipping through the pages with growing unease. "What is this?"He appear

  • The Mate They Threw Away   361. Bone-Singers II.

    Sage.More of them poured out of the tree line the moment we thought we'd found a rhythm, at least a dozen fresh constructs joining the fray, and I felt the stretched, slowed quality of Chrono-Predatory phasing start to strain against how many threats it needed to track at once."There's too many," I called to Dominic, ducking under a swiping bone claw and driving my palm into a Bone-Singer's ribcage, shattering it from the inside with a burst of Source-laced force. "We need to fall back to a chokepoint.""There's a ravine, thirty yards east," he shouted back, parrying two attacks at once with brutal, economical precision. "Narrow enough to limit how many can reach us simultaneously."

  • 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
