He is not talking, just listening, and his shoulders have the particular set they get when he is receiving information he is not sure what to do with.
Sage looks at me. I look at Dante.

Mated To My Captor Chapter 143: Selene (Sage POV)
Dante puts the phone down on the table, the warehouse doing its particular trick of making silence feel larger than it is."He wants us to come back," Dante says."I heard," Kira says."The order is suspended. We would be walking back in under a suspension rather than a full rescission but the enforcement is off, nobody is actively pursuing, and the compound has resources we do not have out here." He looks at her. "It is a legitimate offer.""It is your father's offer," Kira says. "Which is not the same thing as a legitimate offer.""He has never gone back on a suspension before.""He has never had a reason to suspend an order before and then want something from the person the order was against." She is sitting on the edge of the table with her arms crossed, not belligerently, just holding herself together after a long day, and she looks at Dante steadily. "If we walk back into that compound, the suspension is the only thing st
Mated To My Captor Chapter 142: Dominic (Dante POV)
Reyes's car turns off Crane Street and disappears and I am standing in the warehouse doorway watching the space where it was when my phone buzzes in my hand.My father's name on the screen.I look at it for long enough that Kira, who is behind me at the table, says, "Dante."I answer it."Kastor called me," my father says. "He told me what Juniper brought to him tonight. I need to know what you have."I step back inside and pull the side door closed."Everything?" I say."Everything," he says.I sit down on the edge of the table and I tell him everything.I start with the warehouse because it is concrete and present, a building he can locate on a map, and I describe the freight elevator and the second floor and the annotated floor plan of the summit venue with load-bearing points marked in red in handwriting I recognized from seventeen years of birthday cards, and I hear my father breathe in when I say that
Mated To My Captor Chapter 141: What The Page Said (Kira POV)
Dante is still looking at the face-down page when Reyes picks up the folder and straightens the remaining pages back into it and closes it, and Sage says something to Reyes about the bomb construction timeline on page five and they move to the other end of the table where Sage has her laptop open, and their voices drop into the register of two people working through a technical problem together.Dante looks at me.I pick up my jacket and tilt my head toward the far corner of the warehouse, away from the table, and he follows me and we stand near the east wall where the evening light is coming through the painted-over windows in thin lines at the edges and the harnesses are still on the floor behind us."What did it say," he says.I look at the lines of light on the floor. "The ritual does not kill the Blood Heir."He waits."It binds her to the accumulated power permanently. She becomes a conduit, the power runs through her con

Sage and I come back through the side door and Dante is standing at the far end of the warehouse near the freight elevator with his back to us and his phone pressed to his ear and his free hand flat against the wall beside him. He is not talking, just listening, and his shoulders have the particular set they get when he is receiving information he is not sure what to do with.Sage looks at me. I look at Dante.He says, "Where did you find her?" and then listens again, and then he says, "How long ago?" and listens again, and then he says, "I need to think about whether that's something we can do," and I walk across the warehouse floor toward him and he turns and sees me and I hold my hand out for the phone.He shakes his head.I keep my hand out.He looks at me for a second and then he hands it over with the expression of someone who knows this is a decision they will be revisiting."Who is this?" I say."Reyes," the voic
Mated To My Captor Chapter 139: Sage Calls Juniper (Sage POV)
The argument starts the way their arguments always start, and I pick up my phone and my jacket and I walk out of the warehouse without announcing it because neither of them notices me go.The alley behind the warehouse is narrow and smells like standing water and the particular staleness of a space that does not get direct sunlight at any point in the day. There is a skip against the opposite wall with something indeterminate growing out of the top of it and a broken pallet leaning beside the fire escape and a cat sitting on the pallet watching me with the unsettling composure that cats bring to all situations regardless of context.I lean against the warehouse wall and call Juniper.She picks up before the second ring. "I've been waiting," she says."I know. It's been a day.""Tell me."So I do. I tell her about the warehouse and the freight elevator and the map on the wall with the load-bearing points marked in red, and I tel
Mated To My Captor Chapter 138: The Warehouse (Dante POV)
Sage finds a restaurant two blocks from the car park, a small Turkish place with four tables and a handwritten menu on a chalkboard. The man behind the counter looks at us the way people look at customers who arrive at odd hours, and he takes us to a table in the back corner without being asked, which suggests he has developed an instinct for the kind of customers who prefer back corners.We order without looking at the menu properly. Sage asks what the soup is and the man tells her lentil and she says that and Kira says the same and I say whatever they're having and the man goes away and we sit at the table with our phones and Sage's laptop and the radio and the folded photograph that Kira has not taken out of her pocket again but keeps touching through the fabric.Sage opens the satellite imagery of the warehouse on her laptop and turns it toward the table. A large rectangular building, three storeys, the western Ruins address in the corner of the image
Mated To My Captor Chapter 65: Preparations (Kira POV)
I find Sage in the archives.She's surrounded by the particular organized chaos that means she's working on something with multiple moving parts, three open binders, a stack of historical records flagged with color-coded tabs, and a legal pad covered in her small, precise han
Mated To My Captor Chapter 64: Vera's Session (Kira POV)
The first thing I register when I wake up is the empty space beside me.The indent in the pillow is still there. The warmth is still faintly there. I lie on my side looking at it for a moment.I smile before I can decide not to.Then I reach for my phone.
Mated To My Captor Chapter 63: By Dawn (Dante POV)
The first thing I'm aware of is the ceiling.Wrong ceiling. My ceiling has a hairline crack running northeast from the light fixture that I've been meaning to report for two years and haven't. This ceiling is unmarked.Then the bond orients me, warm and steady and alre
Mated To My Captor Chapter 61: Normal (Kira POV)
Normal is harder than it sounds.It requires a specific kind of compartmentalization, the ability to take the thing that's eating you alive and fold it small enough to fit somewhere it won't show on your face. I've been doing this my whole life. Smiling through bad placements
