Sera"I know you're not listening," Mina said.But before I could respond to that, we ran into someone rounding a turn in the stone corridor.Taya.She stood there, alone, blocking our path. There was no one else in sight this early. The corridor stretched far behind her, empty and dim, the only sound the distant clank of the keep's kitchens.She inclined her head to me with exaggerated politeness and said, "Luna." The word was too formal, too careful. It certainly cost her something to say.I stopped because I had to, not because I wanted to. I was too tired to want this conversation."Taya," I responded flatly.Taya turned most of her attention to Mina. Her voice was polite, but I knew her too well. There was a tension in her jaw, in the tight line of her shoulders, that said this was no accident. "Oh, you look good," Taya said to Mina, a false sweetness in her voice that made me more nauseous than I already was. "When's the last time you slept? It's been a while since I saw this l

Sera"Or what, you'll beat me up again?" Taya snarled.I wanted to laugh. The fact that she was bringing that up was genuinely funny.Mina stepped between us, breaking Taya's hold and shoving a hand to her chest. "Back off, Taya." Mina's voice was a growl.

Her eyes were wild with fury and something else, something bewildered, and I knew I was looking at a girl who couldn't understand her own self."How does my father end up on your side of everything," she said, her voice shaking with rage. "Why does he just agree to whatever you say. He hates you southerners, but he's letting you run the pack. I don't get it. He just... he just..."Mina was between us, her back to me. Her voice came out level but tight."Whatever you think, Kael knows better than to cross the Luna. You should know it too. This i

SeraMina's grip on my arm was painful as she yanked me out of the hall and into a narrow storage nook beside the kitchen. The space was dim and dusty, smelling of old grain, and not quite big enough for both of us. The door scraped shut behind us, and Mina turned to face me. For a long moment, she just looked at me, hands clenched at her sides, and I wondered what I was in for.I broke first, still running hot from the confrontation. "Fucking Taya," I muttered, shaking my head. "I know, right? I was already getting tired of that stupid fucking grin of hers, but I never would have thought she'd actually call a duel. That sneaky bitch."I rolled my eyes at the memory and glanced up at Mina, who still hadn't spoken, waiting for some kind of response. But there was nothing on her face, just an absolute stillness, and it unsettled me.She slapped me.I felt the shock of the slap before I registered the sting of it. It came out of nowhere - Mina had her arm out and her hand cracking across
