“Come, Joy!” she cried. “Come see your room!”
“Come back for lunch,” Tilda said as I followed Aine out of the chamber.
The girl took me by the hand down the hallway, past the healers’ chambers, up to a door right before a bend. We climbed the three steps and Aine opened the door wide, motioning for me to walk in. I stopped just past the doorway, looking around in disbelief.
The room was as large as the cave, with two tall windows to my right. Two heavy sets of curtains were gathered with beautiful blue ribbons, to let the sunlight in. The stone floor disappeared under thick rugs. Between the windows was the tall, carved headboard of a wide bed, covered with warm blankets and a bearskin that made me giggle.
Glass lamps and empty china vases rested on the night tables at each side of the bed. There was a set of washbowl and pitcher on a pretty table corn

Waking up in his arms only made me cry again. I curled up by his chest, my face against his warm skin. He caressed my bruised cheeks and held me without a word, kissing my hair.“Your sister is right, my lord,” I muttered with a shaky voice. “This can’t go on like this.”“I understand,” he replied, his voice oozing bitterness. “You want to leave.”“I want you to make up your mind, my lord. All this is cause by your hesitation.”“Make up my mind? What do you mean?”I touched him below his collarbone.“Haven’t you find your mate?”“Of course I have! It’s you!”“Then why you don’t have the tattoo of the mated wolves?”He took in a shaky breath and I fought to keep his emotions from moving me.“If you really mean to make me your wife, you could easily prove it. We can get engaged un

I managed to keep from hitting my face with my own knees, but I felt the blood dripping down from my nose. I shook my head, stunned, and didn’t hurry to stand up.“Have you gone crazy?” she bellowed, coming to stand before me. “Why did you let them see you? Do you think they’re stupid? You made me lie to my sister!”“I didn’t make you do anything,” I grunted, still fallen at her feet, the blood from my nose dripping on my dress and the thick rug.“What?” she cried.I looked up at her, not bothering to wipe the blood or my angry tears away. She could do whatever she wanted.“Nobody is above the law of the Dale,” I replied bitterly. “Don’t blame me because you and your brother believe you are. You’re the ones dragging us all into this mess o lies. Me, your own children, even the Luna queen!”She stepped back like I had slapped her, a dangerous

I was heading back to the table for the last two soups, when all the wolves clapped with soft chuckles. I turned around and saw Aine had placed a crown of green vines around the Alpha’s head.He removed it right away, giving his niece a sideways look, his lips pursed in the first smile I ever saw in his face. He pointed at his cheek, for Aine to kiss while the others chuckled again.I hurried to serve the last wolf on my end, who was sitting right in front of the Alpha. I was setting the dish before him when I felt the same as a few days earlier, when they had me join the parlormaids: that urgent need to look up, like somebody had just shouted out my name.I breathed deep, ground my teeth, turned around and went back to the side table, where I was forced to stay by Adara, facing the main table but keeping my eye down. I felt my cheeks burn and crossed my hands, knuckles white in my effort to keep myself from looking up at the Alpha.Aine and Arleen

I tried to smile back at Adara, one of Aine’s litter sisters, waving me over from the doorway.“Hurry! We were waiting for you!”I couldn’t drop what I was thinking.Did the wolf fear my looks were troubling enough to keep us from being together? Maybe the Alpha had the authority to keep us apart, even if I was his mate? Was it even possible?I would’ve liked to ask Aine about it, but I didn’t think I would ever have a chance, because she was about to be reunited with her mate the next day. Actually, I wasn’t sure I would ever be able to speak with her in private again.I breathed deep a couple of times, like Tilda had advised, and walked into the room next to the dining hall. The girls greeted me with their bright smiles, motioning for me to approach the long table.“Are we taking the trays from here, like the maids used to do?” I asked.“No, but we must enter the hall all together,” replied Arleen, Aine’s other sister.“Pleas

I rested my back against the door to close it and slid down to sit on the cold stone floor, bringing my knees up to my chest. The wolf hurried to my side, sniffing me. I threw my arms around his neck and hid my face against his wet fur.“Good God, my lord,” I panted. “For a moment I thought it was the Alpha with a woman. I was lucky it was his brother, not him, and his wife recognized me. That’s why they let me go. But I know I’ll be in trouble for this.”The wolf went to the bed and brought the black ribbon, dropping it on my knees. My hands were shaking as I covered my eyes, still full of tears. His hands soon touched mine, to undo my clumsy knot, messed up with my hair, and tie the blindfold correctly.“Come, my child,” he whispered. “You’re so cold.”He lifted me in his arms to take me to the bed and tuck me in.“Why did you go back inside? We could’ve left without th

I turned to the wolf, scared. He glanced at me before jumping out of the pool to the only open window. I gathered our things in a hurry, my heart pounding in my chest.The footsteps walked in past the first arch behind the partition just as I picked up the wolf’s trousers and chest, and ran out to the garden. I threw everything behind a bush and signaled the wolf to hide or leave, because I had to go back to get the lamp. The wolf tried to follow me.“Go!” I whispered, hurrying back inside.I had no idea who else would seek the solitude of the bathhouse at midnight. And I had no idea how I could justify my presence there without telling a lie that would stink worse than my fear.I took a hand to my chest, a burning cold making it hard for me to breathe. The pendant! I didn’t have the queen’s pendant. The wolf had promised to have it fixed and he still hadn’t brought it back.I kneeled down by the lamp, at the edg
