LeahIt came out of him in pieces. Not even a word really. Just the shape of it, wrecked, like somebody dragging something heavy across a floor two rooms away.“Leah…”I was up out of that chair before my legs had been consulted.“Maren.”“I heard him.”She was already there. She got a light in his eyes, both of them, one at a time. She had her fingers on his throat, and she was counting. The entire time, she was talking to him in a voice I had never heard out of her before. It was soothing and kind.“Shane Carter. Can you hear me? Do not nod, do not try to sit, do not be brave at me. Blink twice if you can h

LeahFour days after Shane woke up, I walked through the courtyard at the wrong time of day.Nothing had happened there. Nobody had said anything cruel or looked at me with pity. It was the middle of the afternoon. Somebody had dragged the long bench out from under the covered walkway and into the sun. A group of pups were on the grass, arguing over a bucket.One of them was wearing it.That probably explained the arguing.Tempest and Tracey were on the bench.They had their feet stretched out and their hands resting on their stomachs. Tracey was talking. Tempest looked unconvinced.So far, a perfectly ordinary afternoon.“It is not a kick,” Tracey was saying. “I know what a kick is. This is different. This is like a hiccup.”“Babies do not hiccup.”“This one does.”“Babies don’t have air in them, Tracey.” Tempest sounded certain. She usually did. “There’s nothing to hiccup with.”“Then come over here and explain what this is.”“Fine.” Tempest shifted closer, looking prepared to settl

Leah“A wolf in heat, Darien.” I could barely look at him. “How was I supposed to explain that to myself? After everything that happened between us, how was I supposed to keep telling myself we just needed more time?”“That does not …”“And then the parasite.” I kept going, because if I stopped, I was finished. “It was in me for weeks. It drank me down to a shadow and nobody even knew it was there. Then Keanu burned it out of me cell by cell while everybody stood in a hallway and cheered.”“I know …”“And not one person ever asked what it ate on the way through.” I wiped my face with the heel of my hand. “We didn’t even think about what I could have lost then.”“I did not know to …”“I know you didn’t. Nobody did. I didn’t at first. That is not the complaint.”“Then what is the complaint?”“There isn’t one. There is only the arithmetic of it all.” I laughed, and it came out horrible. “Tempest. Tracey. Six of the refugee women in the block, and one more Maren thinks but has not confirm

Leah“Then I’ll show—” He did not let me finish.I got as far as show before he kissed me. I caught his shirt and pulled him closer. Apparently, we agreed on where to start.He had been so patient while I cried. He wasn’t being patient now, and I had no complaints. His hand slid into my hair. I tipped my head toward him and held on, quite happy to let the rest of my sentence go.I got a fistful of his shirt and pulled.It did not survive.I heard the seam go at his shoulder and I did not care even slightly. Neither did he. He already had a hand into the front of my dress. The fastening snapped. I glanced down, then back at him.“Darien …”“No.”“I love that dress!”“It was in the way.”The rest of it went down my arms in pieces.He came up off that bed with me, one arm under my back. He backed me against the bedpost and slipped a hand behind my shoulders. I drew him closer. His mouth went to my throat and stayed there.My hands were in his hair. His moved over me, and I pulled him clo
