Too Curvy For The Crown Chapter 14
FreyaThe dress was red.Tessa had picked it, floor-length with a fitted bodice and a slit that showed my left leg when I walked, and when I put it on and stood in front of the mirror in my bedroom I didn't recognize myself for a few seconds. The woman staring back at me was lean and strong and wearing a colour that the old Freya would never have dared to touch, because red was for women who wanted to be seen, and I had spent my whole life trying to disappear."Mommy, you look like a princess," Ezra said from the doorway, still in his pajamas with Rex tucked under his arm."Thank you, baby.""Are you going to a ball?""Something like that.""Is Ronan going too?""No, Ronan is staying here with you.""Good." He climbed onto my bed and settled in with Rex. "Tell me everything tomorrow, okay? Like what kind of cake they have.""I will report on all cake," I said, and kissed his forehead, and he smelled like toothpaste, and I held on to that feeling as I picked up my mask from the dresser

FreyaI didn't breathe until his footsteps passed.I was pressed flat against the wall inside the restroom with my hand over my mouth, my whole body shaking so hard my knees kept buckling. Sable was howling inside me, pulling at me, trying to get me back into that hallway toward him, and I held on to the sink and told her no, over and over, no, no, no, until his scent faded and the corridor went quiet.I waited five more minutes, then I opened the door and checked both directions and walked to the elevator on legs I could barely feel. The lobby, the parking garage, my car. I got inside and locked the doors and put my forehead against the steering wheel, and I sat there shaking for a long time.Alaric Thorne. The Lycan King. Twenty feet away from me in a corporate hallway, five years after he left me on his study floor.Why was he there? What was the Alpha King doing at Blackridge Holdings? Was he a client, an investor, did he own it? I couldn't stop the questions and none of them made

Freya"You can't take this contract, Freya."Ronan was standing in the kitchen with the Blackridge folder in his hand and a look on his face I had never seen before. Serious, tight, almost panicked."Give me one good reason," I said."Blackridge has ties to people in the Lycan world. Dangerous people. If you put yourself in their orbit, you're exposing yourself and Ezra to the exact kind of attention we've been hiding from.""How do you know that?""Because it's my job to know these things. I track supernatural networks, Freya, and Blackridge is connected to one of the most powerful packs on the continent. Taking this contract puts your name, your face, your company in front of people who could trace you back to who you really are."I folded my arms. "You won't tell me who specifically, you won't tell me how you know, and you want me to walk away from the biggest opportunity I've had in five years of building this business. Does that sound reasonable to you?""I'm asking you to trust

FreyaEzra ran through the front doors of the estate and stopped in the middle of the entrance hall with his mouth open."Mommy." He turned in a slow circle, staring up at the ceiling. "Mommy, is this a castle?""It's not a castle, baby.""It has stairs that go up and up and up." He pointed. "Castles have those."Ronan crouched beside him. "It's not a castle, but there's a garden out back with a tree that's perfect for climbing. Want to see it?"Ezra looked at me for permission, and I nodded, and he grabbed Ronan's hand and started pulling him toward the back of the house, already talking about how high he could climb, and Ronan let himself be dragged with an easy laugh, and I watched them go and felt grateful and uneasy at the same time.I stood in the hallway and looked around at the high ceilings and the security cameras and the guard standing quietly by the front door, and I waited until Ezra was out of earshot."Old family money?" I said.Ronan glanced back at me. "Something wron

FreyaI called the number three days later because I had no choice.Ezra's fever spiked at two in the morning, worse than any before, and the cool bath didn't bring it down. His skin was burning under my hands, his small body was shaking so hard the water splashed over the edge of the tub, and his eyes were solid gold and they wouldn't change back. I held him and rocked him and told him it was okay, and none of it was okay, because I didn't know what was happening to my son and I couldn't take him to a human hospital.Ronan answered on the second ring.He was at my door in forty minutes with a woman he introduced as Dina, and Dina took one look at Ezra and said "half-blood surge" and went straight to work. She mixed herbs from a bag she carried, applied a paste to his chest and the backs of his hands, and within twenty minutes the gold faded from his eyes and the fever broke, and he fell asleep in my arms breathing normally.I sat on the bathroom floor holding my sleeping son and star

FreyaEzra was four years old the first time he hurt someone.We were at the park near our apartment, and a boy twice his size shoved him off the swings and called him a freak because of his eyes. Ezra didn't cry. He grabbed the boy's arm and threw him three feet across the sand, and the boy hit the ground screaming, and his mother came running, and I scooped Ezra up and left before anyone could ask questions."Mommy, I didn't mean to," he said in the car, his gray eyes wide and wet. "He pushed me and my hands got hot and I couldn't stop it.""I know, baby." I buckled him in and kissed his forehead and kept my voice calm even though my heart was hammering. "We'll talk about it at home, okay? You're not in trouble."But he was in trouble, and so was I.His abilities had been getting worse every month. At three he bent the metal leg of his bed frame during a tantrum. At three and a half his eyes stayed gold for almost ten minutes after a nightmare, and I had to keep him home from daycar
