Midnight Debt: Never His, Always His What He Said In That Room
REINAI stood at the back of that room for a long time after everyone left.Just standing there.The chairs empty. The table cleared. The room quiet.His words still in the air.Do not make me choose between that respect and my wife.My wife.He said my wife.In a room full of people. In front of the elders and the warriors and everyone who had ever looked at me like I didn't belong here.My wife.I pressed my hand flat against the wall.Breathed.Then I went to the garden.The garden always helped.I didn't even know what I was doing when I got there. Just crouching in the soil. Hands in the dirt. Letting my body do something familiar while my head tried to catch up with what I had just heard.Lena found me twenty minutes later.She didn't say anything at first. Just sat on the stone border with two mugs of tea and handed one to me.I took it.We sat quietly for a bit.Then Lena said "I heard what he said.""How?" I said. "You weren't in the room.""Cade told me." She wrapped both ha
Midnight Debt: Never His, Always His In Front Of Everyone
ZADENThe letter from Elder Miriam arrived Monday morning.Emergency council session. Noon.I read it once.Set it down."Call the session," I told Damian. "Full council. Every senior warrior. I want the room full."Damian looked at me carefully. "You want witnesses.""I want everyone," I said. "Every person in this pack who has an opinion about my wife's position here. I want them all in that room today."Damian said nothing for a moment.Then he picked up his phone.I walked into the council room at noon exactly.The room was full. Twelve elders. Ten senior warriors. Damian at my right. Every seat taken and people standing at the back.Good.I sat at the head of the table.I didn't speak.I looked around the room slowly. Every face. Every person. I took my time. Let them feel it. Let the silence sit until it had weight.Nobody said anything.Nobody moved.Then Miriam stood.She was the oldest elder. Sharp. Experienced. Someone I had respected for years."Alpha," she said. "Thank you
Midnight Debt: Never His, Always His Her Hand
ZADENI carried her all the way to the house.She didn't argue after the first thirty seconds.I think she understood that arguing was not going to work tonight. Not after what I had just seen. Not after those three lines of blood on her arm that were doing something to my chest that I was managing very carefully one breath at a time.She was injured.On my territory.Under my watch.I was not putting her down.Clara met us at the door.One look at Reina's arm and she was already moving to get the first aid kit from the hall cabinet and warm water"East sitting room," she said. "Light's better."I carried Reina to the east sitting room.Set her down on the couch.Clara put the kit on the table and opened it and started laying things out."I can do it," I said.Clara looked at me.Then she put the kit down, picked up her cloth and her warm water, handed them to me, and walked out quietlyReina watched me pull the kit toward me."You don't have to" she started."I know," I said."Zaden"
Midnight Debt: Never His, Always His Beast Mode
REINAI had never seen him shift before.That sounds strange given that I had been living in a pack of werewolves for months. But shifting was something they did away from the house. Away from me. Like they had collectively decided I didn't need to see that part of it yet.Tonight was different.Tonight Zaden asked me to come on the pack run.Not in a warm way. Not an invitation exactly. More like he appeared in the kitchen doorway while I was making tea and said "There's a run tonight. You should come."I stared at him. "A pack run.""Yes."I looked at my tea."Okay," I said.He looked faintly surprised that I agreed that easily.Honestly so was I.The forest at the edge of Cole territory was different at night.Darker. Bigger. The kind of dark that had layers to it, the darkness between the trees and then the deeper darkness further in where the light didn't reach at all.The pack assembled at the tree line. Thirty wolves. Some I knew by name now. Some I was still learning. All of t
Midnight Debt: Never His, Always His The Pack Sees It
LENALet me tell you what I see.Because somebody needs to say it out loud and it might as well be me.I see everything in this pack house. Not because I'm nosy… well, not only because I'm nosy. But because I have been here for years and I know how this place breathes and I know when something has changed.Something has changed.It started the morning after the kidnapping.I came down to breakfast and found Zaden in the kitchen.Not passing through the kitchen. Not picking something up on his way somewhere else. Actually in the kitchen. Standing at the counter with a mug of coffee. Looking out the window.I stopped in the doorway.I had never once seen that man stand in a kitchen like he had nowhere else to be.I looked at the window he was looking out of.The garden.She wasn't even out there yet. It was early. She wasn't there.He was looking at an empty garden.I turned around and walked back to my room and stood there for a moment.Then I said out loud, to nobody "Oh. Oh wow."The
Midnight Debt: Never His, Always His Two In The Morning
REINAI didn't plan to stay long.I was going to say thank you, make sure he was okay, and go back to bed. That was the plan. Simple. Fifteen minutes maximum.It was past two in the morning and I was still in his office.I don't know how we got to my mother.One minute we were sitting in silence and the next he was asking quietly, like he wasn't sure he had the right "What was she like?"I looked at him."My mother?""Yes."Nobody asked me about her anymore. Not since she died. People said sorry and moved on and that was fine, that was normal, but nobody actually asked what she was like.I sat with the question for a moment."Practical," I said. "Warm but practical. She didn't waste words. If she said something she meant it." I paused. "She made bread every Sunday. The whole house smelled like it." I smiled without meaning to. "She used to say bread was the only honest thing in the world. You put in the work and it gives you exactly what you deserve."Zaden was quiet."She sounds like
Midnight Debt: Never His, Always His I’m Not Jealous… I Think
REINAThe evening air felt heavier than usual.I had learned to move through this house like a ghost, quiet and careful, never drawing too much attention to myself. But tonight, the pack had gathered for some informal dinner, and as Luna (at least in name), I was expected to attend.So I dressed in
Midnight Debt: Never His, Always His The Bracelet Again
ZADENThe house was quiet.Too quiet.I stood in my office long after midnight, the only light coming from the desk lamp that cast long shadows across the dark wood. My side still throbbed from the wound Reina had cleaned earlier. I could still feel the ghost of her fingers on my skin, gentle, trem
Midnight Debt: Never His, Always His He Spoke To Me
REINAThe afternoon light was soft as it filtered through the tall windows of the main sitting room. I had come here to escape the heavy silence of my bedroom, carrying a book I wasn’t really reading. I mostly just needed something to do with my hands, something to occupy my mind so it wouldn’t kee
Midnight Debt: Never His, Always His Background Noise
ZADENI was in the office by six fifteen.The wedding was yesterday. I'm aware of this the way I'm aware of any completed task. It happened, it's done and doesn't need any more of my attention. The account is closed. The arrangement is in place. Whatever comes next in that particular part of my lif
