"Do not touch her."

My voice came out low and shaking, but it carried across the snow. Isolde's hands hung in the air between us, fingers spread, hungry. I stepped back, and Cassian moved with me, his sword rising until the tip rested at her throat.

"One more step," he said calmly, "and I take that hand off."

"You would not dare."

"Try me."

She did not move. Her eyes stayed fixed on the bundle in my arms. The baby's small chest swelled, filling, filling, like a tiny bellows.

  • Too Late, My Mates    Odette Has No Daughter

    "Odette has no daughter." Cassian said it flatly, staring at the second line on the note. His blue eyes had gone hard and cold. "What do you mean?" I asked. My voice was shaking. I was still on my knees by the empty crate, clutching a blanket that smelled of my baby. "I mean I have known that woman for eleven years. I would have known." He crumpled the paper in his fist. "She never mentioned a husband. Never mentioned a child. She lived in the healer's cottage alone." "Then she lied." "Or she hid it very well." "Why would anyone hide a child?" Ronan asked. "To protect her." Hazel's voice came out thin. "Or to keep a secret." Nobody had an answer. Outside the cave, the wind howled across the snow. "I am going after her," I said. Kael caught my arm. "Wren, you cannot. You gave birth three hours ago." "My daughter is out there." "I will go." "You will not decide for me." "I am not deciding. I am asking." I looked up at him. His face was raw. There was soot in his hair, blo

  • Too Late, My Mates    The Empty Basket

    "Do not drink it."Hazel snatched the vial out of my hand before I could lift it to my lips. She held it up to the lantern and squinted at the milky liquid, then pulled out the stopper and sniffed.Her face twisted."Moon Goddess. It is silverroot.""The antidote?" Kael asked."There is no antidote." She stoppered it fast and held it at arm's length. "This is a triple dose. Pure extract. One sip and Sable would sleep forever.""Forever?" I whispered."And that is not the worst of it." Hazel looked at me with tired, red-rimmed eyes. "You are nursing, child. Every drop you drink goes straight into your milk. Your babies would swallow it with every feeding."The cave went silent. Beside me, Cassian let out a slow, dangerous breath."She meant to poison the children," he said."She meant to leave them wolfless," Hazel said. "Quiet. Weak. Easy to carry off and raise."I pressed my hand over my mouth. Sable growled low inside me, a sound of pure rage. I told you, she said. I told you it sme

"She is about to...""I know.""Do not let her.""I am not letting anything. It is a baby!"The small mouth opened wide.And the baby cried.It was not like her brother's cry, or her sister's. It was thin and high and clear, a single note that rose into the night like a silver thread. It rang across the snowy road. It rang through the trees.The moonlight changed.A beam of white fire fell straight from the sky and wrapped around us like a cloak. Every snowflake glittered. Every shadow vani

  • Too Late, My Mates    Born Beneath The Burning Roof

    Isolde set the kitchen roof on fire. I smelled it before I saw it. Thick, black smoke curled through the rafters, and orange light flickered against the stone walls. "She is burning us out," Ronan said. "Of course she is." Brenna did not look up. "She needs the babies under the open sky. A burning roof means we have to run." "Then we do not run," Kael said. "Kael." I clutched my son tighter. "The ceiling is on fire." "I will hold it up with my own hands if I have to." "You cannot hold up a roof." "Watch me." I almost laughed. Then pain ripped through my stomach again, so sharp that I screamed into the baby's blanket. "The second one is coming," Brenna said. "Wren, look at me. You push when I say." "Not here!" "There is no other place!" The window shattered. A burning arrow slammed into the table, and flames licked across the wood. Dorian threw himself in through the broken glass, rolled, and came up beating out sparks on his sleeve. "There are forty of them in the court

  • Too Late, My Mates    The First Cry

    "Not here," I gasped. "Not now." The second wave hit before I finished. Pain knifed through my stomach and rolled down my spine, and I clawed at Kael's sleeve. He held me up with one arm and kept his sword raised with the other. "Breathe, Wren. Look at me." "I can't. They are coming." "I know. I have you." Around us, the hum grew louder. A dozen torchbearers closed in from the broken gate, Silverfang warriors in grey. Their faces were slack and calm. Their eyes were empty. Isolde walked among them like a queen, trailing one hand across their shoulders. "Isn't it beautiful?" she said. "They all came so willingly." "Those are your own people," Kael snarled. "You are using them." "I am leading them. There is a difference." "Ronan!" Kael roared. "Get her inside!" Ronan dropped Cassian against the well and ran. He caught my other arm, and between them, they half carried me toward the nearest door, the kitchen. Behind us, Isolde clapped her hands once, softly. "Stop them." Torch

  • Too Late, My Mates    Right On Schedule

    Sable?Silence.Sable. Please.Nothing came back. I stood in the burning hall with my hand on my chest, and for the first time in my life, the place where my wolf lived was dark and still."Look down," Odette said softly."What?""Look at your belly, sweet girl."I looked. My cloak had slipped open. Under the thin dress, my stomach was round. Not a little swell, not the soft curve I had felt three days ago. It was full and tight, the belly of a woman five months along."No," I whispered. My hand shook as it pressed against the curve. "That is not possible. I was seven weeks. I am only..."Odette smiled. "The silverroot quiets your wolf, and it wakes the babies. Every night, they grow faster. By tomorrow's dusk, they will be ready.""Ready for what?""To be born."The floor tilted. I gripped the back of the chair so hard that the wood creaked."You are lying.""Feel them, then."A hard little foot struck my ribs from the inside. Then another, in a different place. Two kicks. Strong and
