~AlaricFive glasses in, and I still couldn't get her out of my head.I wasn't drunk. I knew exactly where I was and what I was doing, which was the problem. Being drunk would have been easier. It would have meant I could blame something outside of myself for the fact that I was sitting here, staring at the wall, thinking about a woman I had absolutely no business thinking about.That scene where her robe fell, the way it had slipped off her shoulder, added to the look on her face when she realized I was standing there watching her.I poured a sixth glass and was about to down it when a knock stopped me."Come in," I grunted out, letting out a long, slow sigh.The door opened, and I looked up to find Lena, daughter of a member of my council.She sauntered inside, not needing a formal invitation; she'd been here enough times to know she didn't require one.My eyes trailed down her body slowly, drifting over the thin strip of black lace lingerie that started at her chest and ended a li

I snatched my wrist back quickly, wrapping my fingers around it.My whole body reacted, I pulled away and took a step back, putting a distance between us like muscle memory. My heart was going so fast I could feel it in my ears.I opened my mouth, ready to ask him what exactly he thought he was doing, grabbing me like that, but he beat me to it."Listen to me." His voice dropped dangerously low, the kind that made you pay attention whether you wanted to or not. He took one step toward me, and I planted my feet to the ground this time, refusing to move back even though every single part of me wanted to.His eyes stayed fixed on mine, dark and completely still. "Whatever I do or don't do," he continued, "no one disrespects you. Not in this pack. Not anywhere near me."He let that sit between us for a second, then added, "No one."I didn't say anything. I genuinely couldn't find a single word to respond with, and standing there with my mouth slightly open wasn't doing anything for my dig

I woke up with a hiss this morning. And no, it wasn't because I was in pain or anything like that.It was mainly because the first thing my brain decided to serve me this fine morning, before I'd even fully opened my eyes, was an image of Alaric.Specifically, the image of his back, coupled with the erotic sounds he made that night, and the way he'd looked at me over his shoulder like I was the one doing something wrong by just standing there.Well, I think I was, but… urgh!I squeezed my eyes shut, shaking my head vigorously on my pillow before opening them again and looking down at my thighs like they'd personally offended me, because they had, because whatever was going on in my head right now was starting to make them clench tighter, and I needed it to stop immediately.I shook my head at myself and threw the blanket off before my own thoughts could make the morning any worse.The bathroom was my only salvation. I turned the shower on cold first, because I clearly needed it, then

~Althea's POVI heard a knock on my door about twenty minutes after Alaric left, and by the sound of it, I already knew who it was. Nobody in this place knocked like that, two short, sharp taps that somehow still managed to sound impatient.I crossed the room, still wrapped in that blanket and towel— don't ask why I haven't put on clothes yet— and pulled the door open. Sera stood there, her back straight as usual, and her face giving absolutely nothing away. But there was something slightly off about her energy this morning, like she'd been pulled away from something she'd rather be doing and was being very professional about not showing it at the moment.Very professional is the keyword."You have an appointment at the pack clinic," she said in a clipped and direct tone. "Routine examination."I frowned at her. “But, I'm fine.""It's mandatory, giving you’re the Luna," she replied, putting a very particular emphasis on those last two words that I chose not to examine too deeply right

The council chamber was colder than I expected, and I walked in already regretting not grabbing something warmer. I took in the room quickly. There was a long table in the middle, with high-backed chairs, and everyone was already seated, looking very serious. It was very formal in a way that Nolan's court never really bothered with, which was ironic because Nolan's court could have used a lot more structure and a lot less ego.That was when I saw him—the man from the courtyard. My brows creased the same second his eyes narrowed across the table at me, and for a moment we just stared at each other.Lovely.Sera gestured to a seat without looking at me, already moving toward her own beside Alaric, and I pulled the chair out and sat down. The assessment started immediately my ass touched the chair. But it wasn't too obvious; nobody was rude enough to stare, but I could feel it, that collective sideways thing people do in rooms like this when someone new walks in and they haven't decided
