73 Completely Wet

SeraI dropped my half-eaten meat onto the wooden plate. It hit the wood with a loud smack."You handle your disputes with gold and daughters, Lord Torin," I said.My voice was not loud, but it was cold. Absolute. It cut cleanly through the ambient noise of the High Table. Chief Vane stopped chewing and turned his head to look at me. Kael narrowed his eyes.Torin looked at me, genuinely shocked that I spoke out of turn. "Princess, you forget yourself.""I remember exactly who I am," I said. I turned my head and locked eyes with him. I stripped away every ounce of southern politeness I had ever been taught. "I remember standing in the dirt ring yesterday while you screamed and begged for my life because you were too weak to defend it yourself."My mother gasped loudly, pressing her hand against her chest. "Sera! Stop this instantly."I ignored her. I kept my eyes entirely on Torin. I watched the arrogant sneer melt off his face, replaced by a tight, ugly flush of red."Taya challenged

74 The Feast Is Over

SeraThe moment his rough fingers made contact with my wet folds, my breath hitched violently in my throat. I dug my fingernails deep into the rough underside of the wooden table. A sharp splinter pierced my index finger, but I barely felt it."I am surviving, Torin," I managed to say. My voice shook a fraction of an inch, betraying the absolute chaos happening beneath the wood.Fenris pressed his middle finger directly against my swollen clitoris. He applied a brutal, heavy pressure.I bit down hard on the inside of my cheek. I tasted blood instantly.Fenris shoved his thick middle finger deep inside my wet opening. The stretch was sudden, sharp, and entirely consuming. I clamped my thighs together purely on instinct, trapping his heavy wrist between my legs. He didn't pull back. He twisted his wrist, rubbing his calloused thumb aggressively over my hard clitoris while thrusting his thick finger completely in and out of my slick, tight canal.The contrast was absolute madness. I was

75 Refusal To Break

SeraMy thighs rubbed together as I walked, smearing my own wetness across the dark cotton of my underwear.Fenris did not slow down. He kept his heavy grip on my upper arm, pulling me down the stone corridor away from the Great Hall. The muffled roar of the pack faded behind the thick walls. My heart hammered violently against my ribs. My breathing was ragged.I was completely ready. I wanted him to push me against the stone wall. I wanted him to tear the leather laces off my pants and finish exactly what he started under that heavy oak table. My clitoris throbbed with a heavy, localized ache. Every step I took sent a sharp spike of friction straight into my core.We reached the central staircase. I stepped toward the winding stone steps that led up to his private den.Fenris pulled me the other way."Where are we going?" I asked. My voice sounded entirely wrecked."Outside," he replied.He didn't explain. He dragged me down a narrow, dark hallway I had never seen before. We reached

76 Do You Want It?

Sera"What about you?" Fenris asked. He turned his head and looked at me. "What did you do when you were a child in the South? Before the political training started."I thought about it. The memory of Valdris felt like a lifetime ago. It felt like another girl's life entirely."I hid," I said.Fenris raised an eyebrow. "From what?""My tutors. My mother. The etiquette lessons," I answered. I pulled my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms around my legs. "There was a small pantry right behind the main kitchens in the Blackwater palace. It smelled like yeast and burnt sugar. The cooks kept the sweet rolls there. I used to steal two of them, crawl behind the heavy flour sacks, and sit in the dark for hours.""Just sitting in the dark?""It was the only place nobody expected anything from me," I explained. "I didn't have to sit up straight. I didn't have to lower my eyes. I just ate stolen bread and listened to the cooks yell at each other. It was peaceful."Fenris stared at me. "That

77 Desperate Men Do Stupid Things

SeraThe ground underneath me was solid, but I wasn't cold. I woke up to the steady, heavy thud of a heartbeat directly against my cheek.I kept my eyes closed for a long moment. I inhaled slowly. The air around us was thick with the humid heat of the hot springs, but right against my nose, the scent was pure Fenris. Sharp mountain pine, cold iron, and that dark, spicy musk that belonged entirely to him.I realized I was lying completely flush against his side. We were still in the hidden garden. He was stretched out flat on the thick grass, and his massive left arm was wrapped firmly around my waist, pulling me tight against his broad chest.I didn't try to untangle myself. I didn't pull away. A quiet, genuine smile pulled at the corners of my mouth. I liked this. I liked the heavy, grounding weight of his arm pinning me to him.I thought about Kane. Whenever Kane finished fucking me in the Blackwater guest rooms, he never stayed. He rolled over, pulled the heavy blankets up to his c

78 Meeting Is Adjourned

SeraYvara marched me forward. Fenris fell into step right behind us. His presence was a massive, looming shadow at my back.We walked out of the warm, humid garden and back into the freezing stone corridors of the fortress. We moved fast. Nobody spoke.We reached a set of heavy wooden double doors on the second level. Two guards stood outside. They took one look at Fenris's murderous expression and immediately stepped aside, pulling the heavy iron rings and throwing the doors wide open.Fenris walked into the room. Yvara and I followed right behind him.The council chamber was a circular room with a large, round wooden table in the center. Five older men sat around it.The shock on their faces was immediate and absolute. Conversations stopped dead. Chief Vane dropped his iron cup. It hit the wood with a loud clatter. They had not invited the Alpha.Fenris smiled. It was a terrifying, cold baring of his teeth."Why is a council meeting holding without my presence?" Fenris asked. His v

79 Pushing At The Knife Edge

Sera"This meeting is adjourned,"The heavy wooden chairs scraped against the stone floor.The sound echoed sharply in the circular room. The elders stood up from the cracked table. They didn't speak. They kept their heads down and filed out toward the heavy double doors. Chief Vane walked out first, his scarred face tight with completely restrained anger.Fenris stood near the center of the room. Yvara stood to his left. I remained in my seat. We watched them leave.Kael did not follow the others out.He stopped right at the threshold of the open doors. He turned around. His face was a dark, splotchy red. The veins in his thick neck bulged against his collar.He should have just left. But the idiot didn’t."You need to understand something, Alpha," Kael said. His voice shook with a furious, ugly energy. "You are making a grave mistake. You sit here and disrespect this council in front of a Southern Princess. A lunatic who almost killed my child."Fenris didn't raise his voice. He sto

80 Snapped

SeraFenris took a slow breath in through his nose. His massive fists clenched at his sides."The alliance between Ironmaw and Valdris was supposed to be simple," Kael continued. He pushed his luck. He pushed right against the blade. "Dimitri understood that well enough. If Dimitri were here right now, he certainly wouldn't allow a southern princess to disrespect his elders. He wouldn't parade her in the council chamber like a trophy. This is a profound disrespect to everything this pack built."Kael let out another dry, bitter chuckle."But I can see the problem," Kael said. He looked back at Fenris, his eyes flashing with mocking pity. "The princess finally has your balls in her hands."Everything went silent. I could hear my own heart beat.Fenris swung his right arm.The blow landed straight on Kael's face. The impact sounded like a heavy iron mallet hitting wet meat.Kael’s feet left the stone floor entirely. He flew backward and slammed directly into the heavy wooden door. The t

81 I Have An Idea

SeraI watched Kael. His chest heaved sporadically. He was choking on the blood flooding his windpipe."Hold his shoulders down!" the healer yelled at Yvara. "The bone is completely displaced."I knew exactly what that meant. Taya’s arm had healed crooked because her wolf biology kicked in before the bone was set. Kael’s neck was broken. His accelerated healing was already trying to fuse the vertebrae back together. If it healed like that, with the bone jutting out of his throat, he would be permanently crippled, or the bone would sever his artery completely during the healing process. He needed his neck realigned immediately.The healer grabbed Kael’s head with both hands. Kael let out a muffled, agonizing shriek through the blood in his mouth.I looked around the room.I saw the cracked door. I saw the two guards standing in the hallway, watching their Alpha's brutal handiwork. I saw the blood expanding across the floorboards.I walked past Yvara and the bleeding elder. I stepped ri

82 Slut

SeraI hated the fact that I had to come here.I walked down the freezing, dimly lit stone corridor of the guest wing. My boots hit the floorboards with a heavy, rhythmic thud. The adrenaline from the council chamber was still surging violently through my veins. My hands were completely steady, but my chest felt incredibly tight.I had just told Fenris we needed to execute one of his elders and cover it up. I had looked at Kael bleeding out on the floor, his neck snapped and his bone sticking out of his throat, and I had formulated a plan to make him disappear. I never imagined I would need to ask my mother for help. I certainly never imagined I would need her to commit an atrocity.But I needed her. She was the only one who could make my idea actually work.I reached the heavy oak door of her guest chamber. The two Valdris guards who usually stood outside her room were gone. Torin had likely dismissed them to maintain privacy. I didn't care. I didn't knock. I reached out, grabbed the
