Ronan’s POVBy the time Darius and I hit the lower level, the dungeon was already in chaos.One of the guards was sitting on the floor with his back against the wall while another pressed a folded piece of cloth to the side of his head. Blood had soaked through it and was running down his neck. Two more men were farther inside, checking cells and shouting back and forth, and the iron gate that should have been locked was hanging wide open.I stopped so hard Darius nearly ran into me.“Fuck me.”“Yeah,” he muttered beside me. “That about covers it.”The guard on the floor saw us and tried to get up.“Don’t.” I crossed the distance to him. “What happened?”“I don’t fucking know, Alpha. It happened fast.”That, at least, sounded like the truth. He looked furious with himself more than scared, one eye already swelling where somebody had hit him.“Start wherever you can.”He dragged a hand over his mouth. “The bells started, then we got word there was someone inside the fortress. A few min

Mira’s POVBy the time they shoved me through the front doors, my lip was split, one wrist was scraped raw and the man on my right had my teeth marks buried in the side of his hand.He should have listened the first time I told him not to touch my face.“Keep moving.”I wiped the blood from my mouth with the back of my hand. “You put your hand on me again and I’m taking a finger.”The man behind me gave my shoulder a hard push.I spun around so fast he reached for his sword.“Do it again.”“Cassius wants you upstairs.”“Then Cassius can come get me himself.”Neither man looked interested in arguing. The one I had bitten pointed toward the staircase, and I looked past him instead.The house was bigger than anything I expected to find this close to the Varric boundary, but it wasn’t dressed like a noble residence. Men in travel-stained clothes moved between rooms carrying weapons. Packs were stacked near the rear entrance. Mud covered the stone floor where boots had come through recentl

Selene’s POVCassius left the gates open.Ronan slowed several yards before them, and everyone behind us stopped with him. The road continued straight through the entrance before curving between the trees toward the Varric house, wide enough that Cassius could have lined both sides with men if he wanted to.He hadn’t.At least not where we could see them.Garrick rode up beside me and stared through the entrance. “They didn’t drag Mira all the way here just to hand her back at the gate.”Ronan looked toward the wall instead of the road. “No.”I shifted the reins in my hands. “Then why leave it open?”“Because he wants us inside.”My father looked at Ronan. “I figured that part out.”Ronan glanced over. “I wasn’t explaining it to you.”“I know. You were explaining it to my daughter like she’s five.”“I wasn’t doing that either.”“You do it a lot.”I looked between them. “Can we save this until after we get Mira?”Garrick looked at me. “I’m not the one who started it.”“You absolutely w

Ronan’s POVWe’d been back at camp for almost four hours, and I still hadn’t made it inside the tent.Selene had come out looking for me twice. The first time, I told her Xavier and I weren’t done. The second time, I said I wanted another look around the perimeter before everybody settled in.She hadn’t argued much either time.That was probably why I was still sitting there.The coffee beside my elbow had been cold for at least an hour. Helene’s letters were spread all over the folding table, mixed in with Xavier’s notes, copies of old records, family names, dates and half a dozen things that had seemed more useful before Cassius opened his mouth at the gate.Xavier slid another page across to me.“This is the earliest one I found that mentions her knowing somebody was coming before they got there.”I picked it up. “I read this.”“I know you read it.”“Then why are you giving it back to me?”“Because ten minutes ago you asked if there was anything before her first shift.”I looked do

Selene’s POV“He can yell it through the fucking gate.”Darius turned away.Ronan stood.I caught the front of his shirt and shoved him back into the chair.“What the hell are you doing?”“The east side is open.”“And you’re bleeding through your clothes.”“One of my guards is dead.”“I know. I watched him hit the ground.”“The other one’s missing.”“I heard that too.”He tried to get up again.I put both hands on his shoulders.“Sit down.”“Selene.”“No.”Blood had soaked through the cloth under his hand and run down into the waistband of his pants. There was more on his fingers, his forearm, his face.He looked past me anyway.“Darius!”Darius turned.“Find Corbin. Get Bren over here too. I want to know exactly when he last saw that post.”“I’m already doing it.”Ronan started forward again.I pushed him back.His eyes cut to mine.“Stop.”“I need to know what happened.”“You’ll know from here.”“Damon just walked through my perimeter.”“And put a knife in you while he was here.”Hi
