JACQUELINEMy room smelled like the hair cream and shampoo I'd used this morning. I moved towards the window and pushed it open, letting in a soft breeze that rustled the edges of my curtains.Then, I went to the bathroom and removed my makeup. I had been so ready for Ezra to see my at my best today. I looked at my reflection in my broken bathroom mirror and sighed. I went back to the bedroom after my face was completely free of makeup and took of my clothes, grabbing an old tee and shorts and putting them on. The cat bag curled itself on my trading desk and was watching my every move. It was a funny feeling to have an audience that appeared to be so intrigued by my presence. I crawled into bed without bothering to pull down the blanket and the cat jumped down from the desk, her soft purrs vibrated through the mattress, as she joined me. She took up residence right beside my hip, her little chin tucked against her paw, tail wrapped around her body.I reached over and stroked her

EZRAI moved to the window where Araya had stood and took in the houses littered across the streets of Grim.And for a moment, I almost believed that if I stared out into the distance hard enough, I’d be able to tell what she had been thinking.

After years of wearing shirts, cottons, and suits, I found this oddly discomforting.It was going to take a while to get used to these heavy fabrics again.I turned down the hall that led to the main court, each step slow but deliberate. The scent of torch smoke clung to the ceiling. The walls were carved in dark stone, etched with symbols older than the kingdom itself.As I reached the throne room, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around just in time to see Tarius slip through the door.He was wearing a cloak almost identical to mine, and he looked very comfortable in it.“Good morning, Alpha. Did you sleep well?”I gave a low nod without taking my eyes off him.“I slept very well, Tarius,” I finally answered.“Alpha,” he said, bowing his head deeply. “Forgive me. There sho
