Bread to Remember What Didn't HurtAnneNathan woke up before I did.I knew because when I opened my eyes he was already sitting on the edge of the bed, half dressed, with a blanket over his shoulders and his gaze lost in the almost extinguished fire.For a few seconds I said nothing.The night before I had heard him apologize to his mother in his sleep. I had felt his heart beneath my palm, slow and vulnerable. Now he looked again like the man who could sit in front of an entire council without blinking.Except now I knew there were cracks underneath and that was much more important.Nina stretched inside me.Don't let him hide too quickly, she said without hesitation.I can't force him to talk.No. But you can stay.That I could do, so I sat up and Nathan looked over his shoulder."Good morning.""That depends," I said calmly."On what?""On whether you plan to pretend last night didn't happen."His expression closed slightly."Anne.""That's not a no."He ran a hand over his face a

Flour War, Memories, and Confused BeastsAnneThe bread came out of the oven twenty minutes later.Nathan stopped talking.With him, that could mean deep emotion, military strategy, or that he was trying to decide whether a loaf could humiliate him publicly.Any of those options made me tense, even so, I offered him calm.The braid wasn't perfect. One end had risen more than the other and the honey had darkened one section of the crust.I thought it was beautiful.Nathan looked at it as if his mother had appeared inside the oven."Was it like this?" I asked carefully.He moved closer slowly."Yes."One word.Nina settled inside me.Let him remember.I didn't need her to tell me.We waited for it to cool.Nathan sat beside the table while I c

The Problem with Marks We Didn't Ask ForAnneThe flour was still floating in the air when Nathan kissed me again.It wasn't an ambush.It wasn't magic pulling on an invisible string.It was a question answered with my mouth.I was still sitting on the table, with my legs on either side of his hips and flour in my hair, while he kept his hands exactly where I had placed them.My waist, nothing more.That, for some reason, was more provocative than if he had completely lost control.Nina let out a sigh inside me.This man is going to kill us respectfully, she said emotionally.What an absurd epitaph.Nathan brushed my lips again."Should I keep going?" he asked carefully."Yes."His thumb moved over my waist, slowly, deliberately.Heat spread over my skin and I kissed him harder.Nathan responded with a growl that made his chest vibrate against mine.Vaelor.Nina lifted her head.She still didn't recognize him as a mate, but she no longer recoiled from his presence.That was new and fa

Criminal Eggs and Project Hearth KeyAnneThe next morning, I woke up expecting awkwardness.It didn't come.The first thing I smelled was smoke and that did arrive enthusiastically.I opened my eyes immediately.The bed in the surveillance house was empty.For half a second, I thought about Nathan disappearing again and my heart tried to jump straight into anger. Then I heard a curse from the kitchen.I got up quickly because of the smoke seeping in from everywhere.Nina yawned.He's alive, she said with humor.And probably cooking.Then maybe not for much longer.And that sentence alone scared me, so I walked into the kitchen and froze for a moment.Nathan was standing in front of a frying pan.There was flour on the table, three cracked eggs inside a bowl, one completely black slice of bread and something that might have started its existence as bacon.I leaned against the doorway calmly and asked carefully, "What did you do?"Nathan turned and looked at me with embarrassment."Bre

Parental Consent to Ruin ChildhoodsAnneThe list covered the entire table, and not metaphorically.Pippa had found enough pages to wallpaper a room and ruin breakfast for three generations in a row. And that was saying a lot.I kept staring at my name beside Nathan's beneath those words.PROJECT HEARTH KEY.POTENTIAL UNION: PROHIBITED.ESTIMATED RESULT: COLLAPSE OF THE REGISTRY.Part of me was completely stunned, another part of me hated everything.The reality was that I was afraid and I wasn't the only one with that horrible feeling.Nathan remained beside me with one hand resting on the table and the other clenched into a fist.He didn't touch me, and I didn't move closer either.I first needed to understand what the hell t

How to Build a Cage and Call It PeaceAnneThalia forbade us from touching the documents again until she could photograph every page.That was reasonable, but I hated it.I sat across from the table with a cup of coffee that had already gone cold and watched her work with the patience of a woman who enjoyed forcing chaos into chronological order far too much.Nathan was beside the window.He hadn't mentioned his father's signature again and I didn't mention my mother's possible forgery either.Yet.Pippa had gone back with Mara after making me promise seven times that we wouldn't destroy any Registry without telling her.Nina was still outraged.We could destroy a small one, my she-wolf said.There are no small Registries.Then a medium one.You're not h

Two Sentences to Break Twenty YearsAnneThe phrase "approved mechanism: Neutral Blood Clause" was still on the table when Nathan stopped looking like a man and started looking like an Alpha again.He didn't shout, didn't hit anything.He simply straightened his back, picked up the file and looked at Thalia with a calmness that made me more nervous than any roar. That expression was dangerous in ways I couldn't even measure.And it wasn't that I was afraid of him, but that I worried about how everything could affect him."I want Cassian located," he said and Thalia looked up."Now?" she asked."Now," he replied firmly.I frowned."Nathan."His eyes came to me."We have a confession pointing to him, a uniform of his rank used in an attack, access to internal routes and documents proving that the

Love Shouldn't Need AppendicesAnneThe letter was still in my hand when I discovered that the human body could contain too many emotions and no elegant way out. The reality was that truth could hit you so hard that your entire system reconfigured itself.And it was like that because:My mother was alive.The clause had never been approved.Cassian probably knew both things.And I wanted to laugh, cry, vomit and hit a piece of furniture in that order.Nathan didn't say "calm down" and that probably saved his life.He stood in front of me at the forest station, his hands visible and his expression tense."What do you need?" he asked carefully.I shook my head."I don't know.""Okay.""Okay?" I asked in confusion."You can not know.""I

A Key Is Worth More Than a TerritoryAnneEven though I had already given him the key, Nathan still wore a permanently bewildered expression.It seemed like he still couldn't quite believe his luck and, funniest of all, the key looked far too small to provoke that kind of reaction, although the truth was much deeper than I wanted to admit.It is what it is, Nina said without hesitation.Nathan held the key between two fingers as if I had just handed him the crown of some lost kingdom, and technically he already ruled a good portion of a fairly large one."It's a key," I repeated calmly, but mockingly."I know.""Made of metal," I said more sharply."I know that too.""It opens a door.""Anne.""I'm only trying to make sure you understand the technology," I said with a fake smile that made him narrow his eyes.Nina curled up inside me.He's excited, she said without hesitation.I can see that.And I really could, but I couldn't think too much about it, because if I stopped joking, I wo

Baked Coordinates and Secrets Beneath My FeetAnneThe next morning began with a nine-year-old girl accusing my mother of notknowing how to count."This is wrong," Pippa said.She was sitting on one of the bakery stools, with Mom's recipe book open infront of her and a teaspoon buried in a jar of jam that I had pretended not tosee for the last five minutes."Good morning to you too.""It says three cups," she said with a frown."Uh-huh.""But below it says it makes six loaves.""Also uh-huh."Pippa wrinkled her nose."That's not enough."I froze with a tray in my hands."What?"The girl pointed at the page."If you use three cups of flour and then add all of this, you don't getsix large loaves. You get four. Maybe five if you're cheating," she saidseriously.Nina woke up inside me.I like that she measures fraud in loaves, my she-wolf murmured and I held back a laugh.It's a valid unit.I moved closer.The recipe was one of Helena's old ones, written in brown ink with greasestai
