I spent the morning after the note looking at Elder Morrigan across the council chamber during a routine administrative session and thinking about how to ask someone what they sealed away and what it cost you to forget without giving them enough warning to prepare a better lie than the ones I'd already been getting. The answer I kept arriving at was that I couldn't, not yet, not without more to put in front of her than an anonymous note that she could dismiss in thirty seconds and then spend the next week making sure whatever I was close to finding became considerably harder to find. "We're not confronting her," I told Ren and Zayen afterward, in the corridor, quiet and quick while the elder traffic from the session was still moving around us. "Not until we have something she can't talk around." "Agreed," Zayen said, which was fast enough that he'd already been thinking it. "So we go at it from the other side," I said. "The note said ask what she sealed away, and we've been reading

After Kieran and his delegation left I spent a solid ten minutes staring at the wall while trying to figure out why my body had decided to betray me by being attracted to the arrogant Alpha who thought he could announce our engagement without asking first. This was not part of the plan and also extremely inconvenient given that I was supposed to be making him hate me enough to withdraw the marriage arrangement."You're doing that staring thing again," Lily said while settling onto the couch next to me. "The one where you look like your brain is buffering.""I'm not buffering," I protested while trying to organize my thoughts into something coherent. "I'm processing.""Processing what?" she asked with the kind of knowing smile that suggested she'd already figured out what I was processing. "The fact that your fake fiancé is unfairly attractive and you're annoyed about it?""I'm not annoyed about his attractiveness," I lied while my face turned red

The morning of the public announcement I woke up to find that someone had laid out a formal dress on my chair that was way too fancy for someone who could barely walk across a room without causing property damage, and I immediately knew the Moon Goddess was laughing at me from wherever she spent her time watching mortals make terrible life choices."Goddess, if you're listening," I said while staring at the dress, "this would be a great time to send me a sign that the fake engagement isn't going to end in disaster."The dress promptly fell off the chair and landed in a heap on the floor."That's what I thought," I muttered while picking it up and trying to figure out how to put on something that had approximately fifty buttons and what looked like built-in structural engineering.Twenty minutes later I was stuck halfway into the dress with my arms in positions that definitely weren't anatomically correct and I was seriously considering just showin

After the feast finally ended I escaped to one of the balconies because I needed air and space to process the fact that I was apparently developing real feelings for someone I was supposed to be fake engaged to, which was possibly the most on-brand disaster for me to create. The cool night air felt good against my flushed skin and I leaned against the stone railing while trying to figure out how I'd managed to complicate an already complicated situation even further."Running away from your own engagement party?"I turned to find Kieran standing in the doorway and my traitorous heart immediately started racing in a way that proved I was absolutely in trouble."Just needed some air," I said while gripping the railing tighter. "All that dancing and not destroying things was exhausting.""You did destroy several things," he pointed out while moving to stand next to me. "Two wine glasses, a fork, my ribcage, and possibly my feet.""My feet ar

I was in the middle of planning our defense strategy when the alarms started blaring and someone shouted that the Western Coalition wasn't waiting for my five minute deadline to expire before launching another attack, which seemed rude but also completely predictable given how this day was going."They're at the southern gate," a guard yelled while bursting into the council chamber. "At least thirty soldiers, maybe more.""Of course they are," I muttered while standing up so fast I knocked over my chair. "Because why would they give us time to actually prepare?""Luna, you need to get to the safe room," Zayen said while already moving to escort me away from danger."Absolutely not," I said while heading toward the armory instead. "I'm not hiding while my pack fights.""You don't know how to fight," Elias pointed out while keeping pace with me. "You can barely walk without tripping over air.""Then I'll trip over them," I said whi
