Sylvia

The world had narrowed down to just Rowan's eyes, and the feeling of his hands on my waist, and the way our bodies fit together like two pieces of a puzzle that had been waiting to be whole.

Time seemed to stop and stretch at the same time, and I could not think about anything except how much I wanted to lean up and close that tiny distance between us.

"Well, isn't this interesting." A voice said from the doorway. Rowan and I sprang apart so fast that I nearly fell over again.

An old woman stood there, watching us with eyes that seemed to hold centuries of knowledge and secrets. She was small and bent with age, but something about her presence filled the entire room and made the air feel heavy with power.

Her white hair was so long, it nearly touched the floor and her face was covered in wrinkles, but her eyes were sharp, young and terrifying in their intensity.

"Elder Morgana," Rowan greeted her. I had never heard him sound shocked before, but his voice was full of surprise

    RowanElder Morgana studied Sylvia's wolf form for another long moment before turning to leave. "The seal is broken and cannot be undone," She said at the doorway. "What happens next is up to you both, but know that the King will sense this change and he will come."Then she was gone as suddenly as she had appeared. She left me alone with a massive white wolf that radiated power and barely contained panic."Sylvia," I said softly, moving closer even though every instinct told me this wolf was dangerous in ways I did not fully understand. "I know you're scared, but you need to calm down or you won't be able to shift back."The wolf's golden eyes fixed on me and I could see Sylvia trapped inside them, fighting for control. Her whole body trembled with the effort of trying to change back and the markings on her fur pulsed brighter with each failed attempt.I grabbed the chains I had been wearing, loosening them completely so I could move freely around the room. "Listen to my voice," I s

    SylviaMy feet carried me back to Rowan's room so fast that I almost tripped three times on the stairs. When I burst through the door, I was breathing hard and probably looked completely insane with my hair wild, and my eyes wide with panic."Hunter's body is gone," I said all in a rush before Rowan could even ask what was wrong. "I went to look where he fell. There is blood on the rocks, but no body. That means he is either alive or someone took him."Rowan looked up from where he sat against the wall. His expression did not change at all which made no sense because I had just told him that the man he threw off a tower might still be alive."I expected as much," He said calmly like we were discussing the weather and not a potentially alive and very angry Beta who would want revenge."What do you mean you expected it?" I asked, moving closer to him without thinking. "He fell fifty feet onto rocks and you broke his bones before that, so how could you expect him to survive?""Hunter is

    SylviaThe moment Rowan pulled away from me, I felt cold and empty like something important had been taken away, but I could not think about that because my face was burning so hot, I was sure it was bright red.My heart was beating so fast, I thought it might burst right out of my chest."I need some air," I mumbled and did not look at him because if I looked at him, I might do something stupid like lean forward and close that distance between us that felt like miles, even though it was just inches.I stood up so fast, I almost knocked over the tray of food and basically ran from the room like a coward. My feet carried me through the hallways of the tower and I tried to get my breathing under control, but it was not working because I could still smell him on my clothes, and feel the ghost of his breath on my face."Stop it. Stop it. Stop it," I told myself as I walked faster, pressing my hands to my cheeks to cool them down. "You cannot feel things for him. This is not real. It is j

  • The Slave Queen's Awakening   CHAPTER 8

    RowanI had heard screams before because as the King's executioner, you hear every kind of scream there is. Screams of pain, fear and death and anger. I had learned to let them wash over me like water over stone because feeling anything would have driven me mad long ago.But when Sylvia screamed my name from that balcony, something inside me that I thought was dead came roaring back to life. It was not just the beast that responded, but something deeper and more primal than even that cursed part of me. Every chain, wall and barrier I had built around myself shattered in that single moment because she was afraid and she needed me. Nothing else mattered.I still remembered the way the chains felt when they snapped. It was not painful but almost satisfying like breaking free from something that had held me too long. The beast and I had become one thing at that moment and both united in a single purpose, which was to destroy whatever was threatening her.Even now with Hunter dead at t

  • The Slave Queen's Awakening   CHAPTER 7

    SylviaThe terror that froze me was so intense that my legs would not move and my voice would not work. All I could do was stare at Hunter while my whole body shook. He stepped onto the balcony and his smile got wider when he saw how scared I was. He looked like a cat that had cornered a mouse and was deciding how to play with it before killing it."Well. Well. Well. Look what I found," He drawled, his voice smooth like oil but with something rotten underneath. "The little slave who thinks she is special now because she is mated to the executioner.""Please just leave me alone." I managed to whisper, but my voice came out so weak it was pathetic.Hunter laughed and it was an ugly sound that made my skin crawl. "You really think you matter now, don't you? You are still just a worthless slave who got lucky, but that luck is about to run out because you will be dead soon anyway."He moved closer and I backed up, my entire body trembling until I hit the stone railing of the balcony and
