Wolfsbane

Caden cut him off with a look. He stepped around the desk and stood close enough that he could have counted my lashes. “You lie worse than you cook.” he said quietly. “Do not insult me at the same time.”My mouth went dry. The bond tugged hard, a panicked animal inside my ribs. “I’m not lying.”Mari breathed like a warning bell. Kade’s hand curled, the tendons in his wrist standing out.My father held my stare a beat longer, then looked away, his jaw working. He turned back to the desk and tapped the brand on Bran’s cloth with one blunt finger. “We found this same mark on a rogue carcass near Alder Creek last month. I kept it quiet to avoid panic.

Say His Name

Chapter 8 — Say His NameThe office was too small to hold all the silence, it was suffocating.My father’s gaze pinned me, sharp and unblinking.
