KaiaThe kitchen shift finally ended. I peeled the heavy, damp apron off and shoved it toward Lou. My hands were a wreck—gray and wrinkled from hours in the suds. I looked like a hag, or maybe just a wolf who’d spent way too much time in a sink.'I'll get used to this,' I told myself, though I didn't believe it.A small, warm hand touched my shoulder. Aster. I stiffened. I didn’t like being touched, but I forced myself to pat her hand anyway."Kaia," she murmured, her voice thin and shaky. "I know being back here was a chore, but thanks for the help this week."I wanted to snap. I wanted to ask if she enjoyed watching me scrub pots while she made eyes at Lorcan. Instead, I sucked it in. I flashed a fake smile and stepped away, breaking the contact."About him..." She wouldn't look at me. Her fingers twisted together. "I know my place. He’s the heir. I’m nobody. After what you saw... I won’t get in your way. I promise."I reached out, hooking a finger under her chin and forcing her to

KaiaThe tires hummed against the asphalt, a steady drone that filled the silence. Cain’s hands stayed glued to the wheel, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. After the mess with the rogues back at Voreios, he wasn't taking any chances. No long stops, no hotels. Just miles of gray road.Selene and Aster had scrambled to pack enough meals to last a week. I watched them out of the corner of my eye, half-expecting Cain to toss us a bucket and tell us to use it. To my relief, he actually pulled over for gas and bathroom breaks, though his jaw stayed tight the whole time.I leaned my head against the cool glass. Being trapped in this metal box was suffocating, but as the hours bled together, the tension between Ravenna and me started to thin."Wild forget-me-nots grow on the cliffs behind our packhouse," Ravenna said suddenly. I hadn't even asked, but she was looking at me now, her sharp gaze softening just a fraction. "Their tiny flowers are the same blue as that dress you wore the first ni

Kaia "Kaia..." The voice was like warm silk. Soft hands cupped my face, tilting my head with a gentle touch. I forced my heavy eyelids open. A girl stood over me, her golden-hazel eyes searching mine. Strands of auburn hair had escaped her bun, framing a face dusted with light freckles. The heat from her palms seeped into my skin, forcing the tension to bleed out of my jaw. "I’m Rue," she said, her voice slow and soothing. "I’m a healer in training. I’ll stay right here with you. Rivka is helping, too. We’re working on these bruises so you can heal fast, okay?" I let out a long yawn, my throat tight. "Sure..." I mumbled. I couldn't tell if it was noon or midnight in this windowless room. The

Kaia Ravenna shot me a glare, rolling her eyes as she shoved her hands deep into her pockets. Before we could say more, a voice cut through the air from behind. "Are we interrupting a heartfelt moment?" I turned to see Cain. A cocky smirk played on his lips, and his voice was thick with sarcasm. Ravenna snorted, her face hardening. "Hardly." "Kaia." Selene reached out, her fingers wrapping gently around my arm to pull me toward her and Cain. "You look much better." "And you look..." I trailed off, studying her. Her brows were pinched together in a tight knot, and her eyes looked strained behind her

KaiaMorning sunlight did little to chase away the heavy musk of wet fur and sharp pheromones clinging to Ravenna's walls. I rubbed my stiff neck. The hard floor had been my bed, but I did not care. Last night, Selene had dumped my blankets at Ravenna's door. Ravenna's eyebrows had shot up in surprise, but once she heard about Atlas acting out, she yanked me inside without a second thought.Atlas could not keep his hands to himself. While I recovered in the infirmary, he cornered Ravenna. Big mistake. She had pinned him by the throat against the wall, her claws pricking his skin, and swore to rip off his favorite body parts if he ever blinked in her direction again. Recalling his wide, terrified eyes, a genuine grin stretched across my face. That memory alone let me sleep soundly on the freezing floor tiles. Atlas got exactly what he asked for.Now fresh from a hot shower, I hurried down the hall. I needed to meet Luna Runa. In the kitchen, Beta Vesper leaned against the counter, pour
