It's Chess, Not Checkers

Caz

The house is finally quiet again.

Not the soft, peaceful kind of quiet, but the exhausted stillness that settles after something too heavy has passed through a room.

The kind that feels hollow.

As if every breath taken inside these walls is weighted by what was said and what remains unsaid.

The lamps are dimmed, their amber glow trembling faintly in the draft slipping beneath the doors. The fire in the hearth has burned low, little more than glowing embers pulsing like a slow hear

  • The Twin Prophecy (Sequel to the She Alpha Prophecy)   Fear is Dead and Gone

    Tristan There are some things you expect to happen when you follow your twin into a cursed wasteland. Death, injury, or possession. Ancient witches. Maybe an argument or two involving prophecy or the curse because apparently none of us are capable of going twenty-four hours without one. What I did not expect... Was to discover Caz had found his mate. Or that his mate was Kyra. Or that they had apparently decided that defeating an ancient curse wasn't enough excitement for one night. Luminary is still laughing. "I'm glad one of us finds this funny." "I find it deeply entertaining." "Of course you do." "Cassius and Kyra... what a crazy plot twist. Their bond was the final blow that defeated the curse. The irony." "Yes, Lumin. I understand the sequence of events." "Remarkable efficiency. Sex for the win!" I groan. Caz looks over his shoulder. "What?" "Nothing." His eyes narrow. "You're talking to Lumin about me." "I would never." "Your face says otherwis

  • The Twin Prophecy (Sequel to the She Alpha Prophecy)   Love May Save Us

    Caz I don't know how long we fight. Time stops meaning anything. The shadows don't die. Sinister tears through one. It dissolves, then reforms behind him. I burn another. It screams and falls apart but returns. "They keep coming back!" Kyra shouts through the bond. "I noticed! Any brilliant witch ideas?" "I'm working on it!" "Sin and I believe in you, babe!" I blast two more headed toward my girl. They reform. My eye catches a glowing root. Every time we destroy a shadow, crimson light races through the root network and rebuilds it. Of course. Stored wounds. "We can't kill them!" Kyra says. "That's generally inconvenient in a battle." "They're memories, Cassius." "Fuck. So what do we do then?" Another shadow charges. I don't attack. "Kyra!" "Wait!" The shadow reaches me. A woman. She looks terrified. Blood covers her dress. Her hands are raised defensively. I force myself not to move. Her hand passes through my chest, and cold explodes through me. Then gr

  • The Twin Prophecy (Sequel to the She Alpha Prophecy)   Fight or Die Trying

    Kyra The first thing I hear is Cassius screaming my name. The second is stone. It comes down everywhere. The cavern folds in on itself with violence that makes the earlier collapse feel like a warning. The floor bucks beneath me. A slab of black rock crashes where Cassius stood only seconds ago, followed by another and another until dust swallows everything. "Cassius!" I can't see him. I can't see anyone. "CASSIUS!" "I'm here!" His voice comes through the darkness somewhere to my right. Relief hits so hard my knees nearly give out. Then I hear Tristan. "Caz!" Farther away. Muffled. Jon shouts something I can't understand. Elias says something as well. Then another deafening crash cuts them off. The floor splits. I stumble backward as a jagged fracture tears across the chamber, widening so quickly I barely have time to move. Darkness yawns beneath it. "Cassius!" A shape comes through the dust. Him. He jumps the fracture and catches me around the waist just as

    Caz"Gladly."The mark on my wrist erupts. White light tears through the wall of roots. Not enough to destroy them... enough to make them scream. The sound is horrible, almost painful.The roots recoil, exposing a narrow opening. I don't hesitate. I force my arm deeper. The mark burns hotter."Kyra!""Cassius!"Her voice comes from somewhere beyond the wall. She's alive. That's all I need."Left," Sinister guides. I move left obediently. A root spears through the space where my head was a heartbeat earlier."Good call.""I occasionally have those."Another lashes toward me. I duck. A second catches my shoulder. Pain tears through me as I'm thrown into the stone wall. My back hits hard. The chamber flashes white. For a second, I can't breathe.Seraphine laughs. "Still impulsive."I push myself upright. Blood runs down my arm where the root sliced through my shirt. "Still talking too much."Her smile disappears. The roots attack again.This time, I'm more observant. There is a pattern.

  • The Twin Prophecy (Sequel to the She Alpha Prophecy)   History Doesn't Always Repeat Itself

    Caz The world drops out from under me without warning. One second, The Void is in front of me. Mist. Blackened ground. Elias somewhere behind me. Then nothing. No sound. No air. No up. No down. Just cold. Then, I hit stone hard enough to knock every bit of air from my lungs. For several seconds, I don't move. Mostly because my body is too busy deciding which part hurts most. Sinister groans inside my head. "Well..." "Don't." "That was dramatic." "I said don't." "I hadn't finished." "You didn't need to." "Rude." I roll onto my back and stare upward. Stone curves above me in rough black arches, jagged and uneven like the inside of something ancient and dead. Thin cracks split the ceiling, but whatever lies beyond them gives no light. The air smells of damp rock, old smoke, and something metallic beneath it. Blood? No. Magic. Old magic. Rotten magic. Fantastic. I push myself upright. The mark on my wrist burns. It is protective so I know that means I am in so

  • The Twin Prophecy (Sequel to the She Alpha Prophecy)   Face to Face

    Caz Night changes familiar places. Every shadow looks like a question waiting to be answered. Every sound feels deliberate. Sinister is disturbingly quiet. If he isn't making a joke or teasing me it makes me a tad uncomfortable. Usually he'd be making comments about the way I am walking or finding ways to distract me from whatever impossible situation we've managed to stumble into. Tonight... Nothing. Just silence and watchfulness. Elias follows a few steps behind me. His movements are almost effortless, every footfall placed with the confidence of someone who trusts the woods without ever underestimating them. His attention never settles in one place for long. The trees. The ridgeline. The trail behind us. The darkness between the trunks. Kyra chose well. She didn't choose the strongest wolf. She chose someone who is observant. "I think I like him," Sinister finally says. A faint smile tugs at the corner of my mouth."There you are. Took you long enough." "I know you'
