Sera

I sank to a crouch in front of her, hand hovering. Then I brought it to her hair, stroking it carefully at first. She leaned into my palm, nuzzling my hand as though seeking comfort, like it was something she'd been missing for a long time.

I stayed that way for a long minute, stroking her hair and feeling her settle against me, her pulse slowing. I forgot she was a rogue wolf. I forgot she was a prisoner in a cell. I forgot everything but the weight of her against my thigh and the blood m

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    393 A Brother

    Sera"I'm calling her Wren.""Wren," Mina said, slow, like she was trying to feel the weight of it in her mouth. She looked down at the rogue, then back at me, and shook her head. "I'd have picked something better."I scoffed. "What?"She went quiet a moment, thinking. "Amara," she said finally.I laughed before I could stop myself. "That's too Southern."Mina's eyebrows went up. "What? Did you just decide you hate the south now?""No." I looked down at the rogue, still curled into my side. "It's not that. She's Northern. Not from anywhere south of here. It has to be a name from around here, not one of ours."Mina sighed, long and put-upon. "Definitely not Wren, then." She said it again, testing it, and made a face like it had gone sour in her mouth. "Pick something else."Bram had gone quiet through the whole exchange, standing near the door like he wasn't sure he was still welcome in the conversation. When the two of us finally ran out of words, he asked, careful, "Is that the mad w

    SeraThe knock came before any of us had touched the bread.Not the servants' knock, quick and apologetic. This one was heavier, more certain of itself, and Mina's head came up at the same second mine did."Enter," I said.It was one of the guards from the corridor, not one I recognised, young enough that he kept his eyes down out of habit rather than fear. "Luna. It's Kael, he says he needs to see you now, that he already tried yesterday and you weren't able to."I felt Mina go still beside me. The rogue, curled against my side with her face still half in the furs, didn't stir, but I noticed the guard's eyes catch on her for half a second before he remembered himself and looked away."Send him in," I said.Mina didn't move to leave. I watched her, wondering how she'd hold up. She'd known for weeks it wasn't really Kael. But she hadn't stood this close to him since I told her, and I didn't know what that would do to her.Bram came in alone, and shut the door himself behind him without

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    392 El Cuerno (Error! Don't Read!)

    FenrisLas brasas en la chimenea se apagaban lentamente, pasando de un naranja furioso a un rojo sordo y moribundo.La guarida se estaba volviendo a helar, pero el frío no registraba. Solo me quedé sentado en la pesada silla de roble en el rincón de la habitación, perfectamente inmóvil, observando la piel oscura de oso subir y bajar sobre su pecho.La respiración de Sera era entrecortada. Esa curación forzada era un impuesto brutal sobre el cuerpo. Vaciaba los músculos, canibalizando grasa y energía solo para coser la piel de nuevo. Cada vez que inhalaba, un débil silbido húmedo traqueteaba en el fondo de su garganta.Los olores en la habitación eran un desastre. Mina le había untado un ungüento agudo de alcanfor sureño sobre las costillas amoratadas que me picaba el fondo de la nariz. Debajo de eso estaba el hedor pesado y metálico de la sangre de Taya todavía incrustada bajo mis uñas. Pero cortando a través de todo eso —espeso y sofocante— estaba Sera. Cítricos, vainilla, y el almiz

    SeraWhen I'd done what I could with the cloths and the basin, I went to my own wardrobe and found something that would fit close enough, a plain shift, soft wool, nothing that mattered to me if it never came back the same.I got her into it the way you'd dress a child who couldn't manage it herself, guiding her arms, easing the fabric down over her shoulders. My hand grazed the soft weight of her breast on the way past, an accident of the motion more than anything else, and it stopped me half a second longer than it should have before I made myself keep going.She wasn't a child. Whatever was still missing behind her eyes, the body under my hands belonged to a grown woman, full breasts, the curve of her hips under the fabric, nothing built like a child anywhere on her, and there was no taking that back once I'd felt it.I wondered, and hated myself a little for wondering it, what it would be like once the memories came back the way Fenris said they would. When she was back, whole, a

    SeraThe keep had gone quiet by the time I reached my chambers, the corridors empty in that particular way they went empty when word of something strange had already run ahead of me. I could feel it in the way the few servants I passed kept their eyes down. Nobody stopped me. Nobody asked.I got the door shut with my shoulder, the rogue still bundled against my chest, and stood there a second in the dark before I remembered to light anything. She hadn't made a sound the whole walk back. Just her face pressed into me, breathing slow, the furs tucked tight around her, and that same doubled pulse ticking under my hands, hers and mine running close enough together that I couldn't always tell which was which.I laid her down on the bed. Not the floor. Not a chair by the fire. The bed, because some part of me had already decided that before I'd thought it through, and by the time I noticed I was doing it, it was done.She curled into the furs and watched me with that same open, hungry look,

She leaned into my palm, nuzzling my hand as though seeking comfort, like it was something she'd been missing for a long time.I stayed that way for a long minute, stroking her hair and feeling her settle against me, her pulse slowing. I forgot she was a rogue wolf. I forgot she was a prisoner in a cell. I forgot everything but the weight of her against my thigh and the blood moving under my fingertips."Fuck, Sera, why're you smiling?" Mina's voice cut through the quiet."What?" The word came out from my lips, but it was mostly a laugh than a question.I felt it then, a smile pulling at the corners of my mouth, and I realized she was right. I was smiling, and whatever this was, it felt good.I ordered one of the guards to fetch me some furs. The man moved quickly, returning within moments with the thick, heavy pelts. I took them from him and wrapped them around the r

    SeraNight fell fast, and with it, the temperature plummeted. We had three fires going, but the heat didn't seem to travel more than six inches past the flames. I sat on a log by the middle fire, pulling the wagon fur around my shoulders, shivering so hard my teeth were literally clicking together.

    LyraShe ignored me. She dropped to her knees, her hands sliding down to the waistband of my trousers. She shoved her fingers inside the fabric, gripping my hips tight. With one sharp pull, she dragged the pants and my underwear down to my ankles. I stepped out of them, kicking my boots off in the

    Lyra"Tell the girl to step into the room," he said."Leave her out of this," I said. My voice came out as a pathetic, raspy whisper. I cleared my throat, trying to find some spine. "She didn't do anything. It was my idea to come in here.""Tell her to step into the room," he said, his eyes going d

    LyraThe voice didn't belong to Nadia. It didn't belong to me. It came from the metallic object resting directly behind my hip.Nadia froze. She pulled her mouth away from me and yanked her fingers out of my body. She stood up quickly, wiping her wet mouth with the back of her hand, her chest heavi
