Clearly out of curiosity, she opened to the middle of the book, and her eyes nearly popped out in pure mortification. The book contained explicit diagrams of men and women in different, erotic, sexual poses.

It is that or a fight that I'm sure won't slip unnoticed by the uncompromising Grog. I vaguely glance at the book in Logan's hands as I sit on top of the covers. The Art of War. How fitting. It probably acted as his guide in waging war on the wolves and whoever else he ran across. I turn away from it quickly and finish off my crackers. It is nice to have something on my stomach again. Hopefully, this time I will keep it down. It is morning when my eyes flutter open. The light beams in between the long curtains on the far wall. I look around the room in confusion. I can't even remember falling asleep last night. That must have been some sleep aid I took.

I like taking my time, that way, I can get used to the idea of living with Xander. Sitting behind the counter in the bookstore, I listen to Vincent talking to his cars while I place an order for new books. One of those books is The Art of War by Sun Tsu. I want to read it and see why Alexei loves it so much. My thoughts turn to the BBQ, and I must admit, I enjoyed it a lot. And Rosemarie was right. Everyone seemed pretty normal. I don’t know what I expected. Maybe guns and men smoking cigars while plotting the end of the world?

Holding the book close like a treasure, I fully intended to check it out, but, deciding to wait for Cathy, to see whatever she uncovered, I sat down at one of the tables near the front of the library, and opened the book. I am a man of decision, the book began. In times of war, even a moment of hesitation could lead to a death. With good warriors under my charge, I would never risk it. “Aria?” I lifted my head up from the book and looked straight into Matt’s face.

"Should I be worried, sir? About Arabelle being more capable than expected?" "On the contrary." The man looked at Arabelle's photo again—the fierce intelligence in her eyes, the strength in her posture. "I'm impressed. Dante chose well, even if he chose for the wrong reasons. She would have made an excellent addition to our original partnership, back when we were building this empire together." "That's... oddly respectful." "I respect worthy adversaries. I just don't let that respect stop me from destroying them." He gathered the photos of Arabelle into a folder. "She killed the Wolf. Fine. That tells me she's formidable. But being formidable in combat and being prepared for psychological wa

Yam sliced it open slowly, hands trembling. Inside was their book. “The Art of Staying.” Cover: a sunflower. A crooked shelf. Two mugs—one chipped. And behind it all, the suggestion of a fan, mid-spin. Franc stared at it like it might whisper back. “Feels unreal,” Yam said. Franc flipped through pages. Some with artwork. Others with Yam’s poetry. Their story—wired beginnings and all—now bound in matte finish. “I think this book breathes,” Franc said.

Then decide if you can judge me. I didn’t want to judge him. I only wanted insight—some understanding of how he would make this choice. Since I couldn’t ask him myself, this was the closest I could come to knowing what he would want. Clutching the book like a treasure, I fully intended to check it out. But deciding to wait for Caterina and see what she uncovered, I sat at one of the tables near the front of the library and opened it. I am a man of decision, the book began. In times of war, even a moment of hesitation can lead to death. With good warriors under my command, I would never risk it.

I would have said yes anyway. The war library sat three levels under the observatory, a long vault of oak tables and iron shelves that smelled of dust, lamp oil, and wolf. Maps of every pack from Murmansk to the Black Sea hung on the walls like flayed skins. Vaelin set three things in front of me. A treatise on shifter treaties bound in dark hide.

It was something that had once been alive. “Politics first,” he said. “Then how men die for those politics. Then the language that makes the dying mean something.”

Jade lowered her hand. “I beg your pardon?” “The painting,” the man said. “Don’t you just love it?” “I see…” Jade said, turning her attention back towards the painting. “I think I do.
