THE WOLF UNCHAINED

The stables were chaotic. Guards were shouting, horses were stomping, and Philia was barking orders like a drill sergeant.

But Oreon didn't hear any of it.

He knelt in the straw of the back stall with his hands trembling over Eltonia’s unconscious form. She was pale, and had a nasty, purple bruise blooming on her temple where she had been struck. Beside her lay the damning burlap bag; the poison, the food, the evidence of "desertion."

But Oreon’s nose told a different story.

He leaned in close to her chest. He inhaled deeply.

There it was. Under the smell of hay and blood.

Rosewater.

Expensive, unmistakable rosewater. It was soaked into the shoulder of Eltonia’s dress, right where someone would have grabbed her to drag her.

Oreon’s vision went red. The Wolf roared in his ears, demanding retribution.

"Get her to the holding cells!" Philia shouted from the doorway. "Lock her up! I deal with deserters at first light!"

"Don't touch her!" Oreon snarled at the guards reaching for Eltonia.

  • Vying For The Alpha's Heart   THE STARVATION TACTIC

    The sun rose over Ashwood, but the mood was far from bright.Holly was locked in the tower. The "Saint" was gone. But the castle was still occupied.Philia’s army—three hundred strong—was camped in the valley and quartered in the barracks. And they were hungry."They ate the breeding sow," Gamma Kornel reported, standing in the Alpha’s study. He looked disgusted. "The prize pig. They roasted it on a spit in the courtyard at 3 AM."Oreon sat at his desk, rubbing his temples. Beside him, Kael stood staring out the window, his face grim. He was throwing himself into work to forget the sound of the tower door locking."They are locusts," Kael muttered. "If they stay another week, we will be eating boot leather by winter.""She won't leave," Oreon said. "Philia is comfortable. She has my bed. She has my wine. She has no reason to go.""We could fight them," Kornel suggested as his hand drifted to his dagger. "A night raid. Cut the head off the snake.""No," Oreon said firmly. "We just surv

  • Vying For The Alpha's Heart   THE FALL OF LADY HOLLY

    Holly’s feet kicked frantically at the air. Her face was turning a mottled purple, and her hands never stopped clawing uselessly at Philia’s leather gauntlet."Drop her!" Oreon commanded, stepping forward, though the Stone Ridge soldiers leveled their spears at him."She is a pest," Philia snarled, tightening her grip. "I am doing you a favor, Oreon. I am taking out the trash.""Stop! In the name of the Council! STOP!"Abram came running from the colonnade. He wasn't running with the grace of a noble; he was running with the desperate, sweaty panic of a man whose secrets were about to be choked out of a dying woman."Lady Philia!" Abram gasped and grabbed Philia’s armored elbow. "You cannot kill her! She is... she is not responsible!"Philia looked down at the advisor with disgust. She didn't let go of Holly. "She planted poison. She lied to a warlord. That feels responsible to me.""She is sick!" Abram shouted as he pointed at Holly’s bulging eyes. "Look at her! The hysteria! The par

    The fire in the grain silo roared. Ash rained down like grey snow.Philia stood like a statue of war with her massive hammer leveled at Oreon’s chest. Her slate eyes had no mercy in them."Last chance, little Alpha," Philia growled over the crackle of the flames. "Put the deserter down. Or I make you both part of the pavement."Oreon didn't flinch. He felt Eltonia trembling against his back, holding his tunic. He shifted his stance to cover her completely."I will not fight you with steel, Philia," Oreon shouted through the smoke.Philia scoffed. "Because you know you will lose.""Because you are being played!" Oreon roared back. "You call yourself a warrior? You call yourself a leader? You are nothing but a puppet!"The insult landed. Philia’s eyes narrowed. The tip of the hammer lowered an inch."Puppet?" she hissed, stepping closer. " careful, Oreon. I have killed men for less.""Then kill me!" Oreon challenged, spreading his arms. "But know that you are doing the dirty work of a

  • Vying For The Alpha's Heart   THE JAILBREAK

    The hour before dawn was the darkest. The castle was silent, save for the snoring of three hundred Stone Ridge soldiers and the heavy tread of the sentries on the wall.In the darkness of the scullery, a council of war was taking place."Fire?" Lyra whispered, looking gloomy. She wiped her hands on her apron, looking from Oreon to Kael. "You want me to set fire to my own kitchen stores?""Not the kitchen," Oreon corrected, keeping his voice low but urgent. "The external grain silo. The one near the East Wall. It’s mostly empty sacks and dry hay right now. It will burn fast, bright, and loud.""Philia’s army is obsessed with food," Kael added stiffly. He stood in the corner, looking at the floor. "If they think their supplies are burning, every soldier in the courtyard will run to save them. It will leave the path to the tower clear."Lyra looked at Kael. Her expression didn't soften. She looked at him like he was a stranger who had walked into her house uninvited."Fine," Lyra said, t

  • Vying For The Alpha's Heart   THE FRAME-UP

    Holly stood over Eltonia’s unconscious body, breathily heavily.The panic that had gripped her moments ago, the hysterical tears she had shed when she thought she was caught, evaporated the instant Eltonia hit the floor.Holly smoothed her torn silk robe. She looked down at the girl bleeding on the cold stones of the pantry. Her expression wasn't sad. It wasn't remorseful. It was disgusted."Look at you," Holly sneered and nudged Eltonia’s limp hand with her slipper. "Sleeping on the job. How typical."She nudged the shards of the broken porcelain vase under a shelf with her foot. She couldn't leave Eltonia here. Oreon was just in the next room, asleep on the couch. If he woke up and found his precious "mouse" bleeding in his pantry, he would tear the castle apart until he found the culprit.No. This needed to look like a confession."You wanted to leave so badly?" Holly whispered as she grabbed Eltonia’s ankles. "Let’s help you pack."It was grueling work. Holly was not built for man
