Sylvia

The throne room of the Crimson Moon Pack was exactly as I remembered it.

It was cold, oppressive, and designed to make anyone who entered feel small.

The high ceilings stretched into shadows, the stone walls were lined with torches that cast flickering light across the assembled wolves, and at the far end sat Alpha King Lucian Castile on a throne that looked like it had been carved from bones.

My bones, if he had his way.

I walked beside Rowan, my chin lifted despite every instinct scre

    SylviaKing Lucian wasn't bluffing when he said it wasn't over because he summoned Rowan and I to the throne room the next day.The binding runes on his skin pulsed with sickly light as the King's control tightened."You put on quite a show, little slave," Lucian said, descending from his throne with deliberate slowness. Each footstep echoed through the chamber. "Very impressive. You've grown teeth since I last saw you cowering on the floor.""I was never cowering," I said, my voice steady despite the fear clawing at my throat. "I was surviving."He smiled, and it was the same cruel expression I had seen in my blood memory vision, the golden wolf's smile before he tore out my father's throat."Surviving. Yes, you're quite good at that, aren't you?" He circled us like a predator assessing prey. "Years as a slave, beaten and broken, yet here you stand. Do you know why you survived, Sylvia? Why I let you live when I killed everyone else?""Because you're a sadistic bastard who gets off o

    SylviaThe throne room of the Crimson Moon Pack was exactly as I remembered it.It was cold, oppressive, and designed to make anyone who entered feel small. The high ceilings stretched into shadows, the stone walls were lined with torches that cast flickering light across the assembled wolves, and at the far end sat Alpha King Lucian Castile on a throne that looked like it had been carved from bones.My bones, if he had his way.I walked beside Rowan, my chin lifted despite every instinct screaming at me to lower my eyes and make myself invisible like I had done for eighteen years. But I wasn't that broken slave anymore. The white hair that fell past my shoulders, the bite mark on my neck that burned with Rowan's claim, and the power humming beneath my skin all proclaimed that truth.Every eye in the room fixed on me as we approached. I could smell their reactions. Their curiosity, lust, fear, and most prominent, hunger. They looked at me like predators assessing prey, calculating

    SylviaThe tower felt different after Hunter's attack and the King's summons. It was as if the walls themselves understood that our time here was running out. We had two days before we walked into what would almost certainly be a trap.I watched Rowan pace the length of the chamber, his movements predatory and tense. He had been like this for the past hour, ever since we locked Hunter in the cells beneath the tower.He was trying to find a way to keep us both alive when we faced the Alpha King."Rowan," I said quietly. "Come here."He stopped mid-stride, turning those ice-blue eyes on me. "We need to prepare. We need to figure out—""We need each other," I interrupted, standing from where I had been sitting on the edge of his bed. "Right now, we need to stop planning for death and start living."Something shifted in his expression. "Sylvia.""I might die in two days," I said. "Or you might die. Or we both might, but right now, we're alive. We're here, and I refuse to spend what could

    RowanI woke to the sound of glass breaking and my body reacted before my mind fully caught up.I rolled out of bed, shifted halfway into wolf form, claws extending as I moved toward the source of the noise. Sylvia was already on her feet beside me, her new instincts just as sharp as mine."Stay behind me." I growled, but she ignored me, moving to flank my position instead.The scent of blood magic and rot hit me and underneath it all was a familiar stench that made my wolf snarl with rage."Hunter." I said, the name tasting like poison."That fucking coward," Sylvia hissed. "He came back?"We found him in the main chamber of my tower, surrounded by shattered glass from the window he had broken through.Dark symbols glowed on his skin, pulsing with sickly green light. In his hands he held what looked like bones carved with runes, and the air around him shimmered with magic that made my wolf recoil."Hello, bitch," Hunter said, grinning at Sylvia with blood-stained teeth. "Miss me?""

    SylviaThree days had passed since my first transformation, and I still wasn't showing any signs of the curse. If anything, I was getting stronger. My senses were sharper, my reflexes faster, and the constant gnawing hunger that had defined my existence as a slave had finally disappeared. I was eating like a wolf now and my body was changing, filling out in ways that made me feel almost foreign to myself.Rowan's tower had become our sanctuary. The other wolves in the fortress were still adjusting to the reality of what I was, and the whispers followed me everywhere I went, so I stayed here, in his space, surrounded by his scent and the strange collection of artifacts he had accumulated over the years."What is all this stuff?" I asked, running my fingers along a shelf lined with odd trinkets, ancient coins, carved stones and what looked like pieces of armor too damaged to be useful.Rowan glanced up from the maps he had been studying. "Spoils of war, mostly. The King sends me to de

  • The Slave Queen's Awakening   CHAPTER 16

    SylviaI woke to the sensation of being completely surrounded. Rowan's scent enveloped me like a second skin and it made my wolf purr contentedly in the back of my mind. I still wasn't used to feeling her there. She was a presence that had always existed but had been locked away until Rowan's touch freed her.My body ached but it felt good. I shifted slightly and felt the pull of tender skin along my neck, my shoulders and my thighs.I didn't need a mirror to know they were bite marks. I could feel each one like a brand, claiming me as his.I should have been terrified. Everyone knew what happened to Rowan's mates. They died. Within days or weeks, the curse drained them until there was nothing left, but I didn't feel drained.I felt more alive than I had ever been in all my years of existence."You're awake." Rowan's voice was rough, and when I turned my head, I found him sitting against the wall across from the bed, as far from me as the room would allow. His eyes were fixed on me
