Kalb sprints back into the library hall after leaving to grab supplies and with every second she was gone, my heart hammered harder against my ribs. This is my fault. ‘Slow down. You’re thinking too fast about this.’ my beast warns, trying to anchor me. ‘Slow down?’ It’s impossible to stay calm while Theron is pinned shirtless to the cold floor, with Jareth putting his full weight onto his shoulders to keep him from getting up.He already tried to move toward the opposite wall once and even pushed me aside. I know it wasn’t really him. It was the bite messing with his head, but it still hurts knowing he’s not himself. “Did you find someone to get the poison?” Anya asks Kalb, glancing behind her like she expects someone else to appear. “I see you came back alone. Good.”She’s been against anyone else finding out about this, especially taking Theron to a hospital. I’m against it too. If word spreads that the king is weak, things could get really bad. Jareth says so, and even if I don

“You still drink?” The electric energy rolling off him sends chills racing straight down my spine. Everything about him does, from his golden hair, those honey eyes, the fair skin that looks almost too perfect. I would have lost every last one of my senses if I didn’t react so strongly to Alpha Kane. “You didn’t mention you were coming today,” I say, walking toward him as Sasha quietly pulls the door shut behind us.“My baby sister said there was a threat, so I came running. You know how much I care for you.” He runs his fingers across my chest, staring openly at my cleavage the same way he always did when we were alone before I was sent to Eboncrest. “Your message wasn’t vague, Cam, and you know how much I like my details.”“Someone else is trying to take my place, Alpha Kane.”“And that’s what’s bothering you?” He grabs one of my breasts, weighing it in his palm and rubbing my nipple through the light fabric of my dress. My Lycan purrs at the feeling of being admired again. It’s be

She brushes past me and kneels beside Theron, her hand hovering over his skin. “He’s going pale,” she says, rounding on Jareth. “You said he was getting better!” “I said that because I didn’t think you were coming here.” “Then you shouldn't have told me where you all were! You think his life would be in danger and I wouldn't run to my friend? And whose brilliant idea was it to let him stay here instead of the healing quarters.” “Mine,” Jareth says at the same time as Anya. Groaning, Khaisha stands up, pacing the hall. “You actually took the advice of a prisoner?” “Careful now. I like to think of myself as a former prisoner. An ex-convict, if you will.” Anya smiles at Khaisha, but it’s not quite a smile. “And this is what happens when you don't do your job properly,” Khaisha snarls. “Watch it,” Jareth growls back. “Prisoners are talking openly in front of you, forgetting their place.” The fury in Khaisha’s tone is palpable. She and the witch glare at each other, and if no one st

“How do we cure a bite from that monster you created?!” Khaisha growls. Her lycan’s fury bleeds into her voice as she paces before the bars. “You can’t force me to say anything I don’t want to! Get me out of here!” Naya shouts. Her voice bounces off the tunnel walls and grates against my ears.“I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to,” my hands are trembling from the cold anger boiling in my gut. “Naya Elinton always gets what she wants, doesn't she?”Naya kisses her teeth. “I’m glad that’s finally occurring to you. I was starting to think living here was messing with your already scrambled brain.”Khaisha growls on my behalf, hating her arrogance, but I step in before things explode and we lose our only chance. “Eryc isn’t coming here Naya.” “What are you talking about?”“At least not to save you. If he ever gets bold enough to come, it’ll be because of me.” I watch her face darken as I twist the knife. “You wouldn’t be his first thought. Not after all the nights you war

Zephyra ‘Was it right to put her in Jareth’s care and not a cell?’ Scar mutters.I could have left Anya to die for all I care, but I couldn’t do it. Maybe I spared her because I was too overwhelmed and confused to make a decision that big, or maybe it’s because I know she’ll be useful. Theron kept her alive in that cell for a reason, and he’s usually quick to eliminate his enemies. He knew she held value for the kingdom.‘I’d like to think it was the right call,’ I respond. ‘Besides, we need more answers. She could be the key to finding the Stone Hearts.’Theron watches me from the doorway as Khaisha whispers something to him. He hasn’t taken his eyes off me since he woke up, and every time he looks my way, a shiver runs down my spine.When the door closes, he walks toward me. Only when he gets closer do I realize we are the only ones left in his house. Everyone else is gone. “Khaisha told me about your visit,” he says. With every step he takes, my heart beats faster. “I didn’t take
