Cole Shade woke on his second morning in a Nightfall sickroom and reached for her before his eyes opened, the way he had reached every dawn for a season.
The bond did not answer.
He lay still a long while, telling himself it was the poison, the strange bed, the silver still working its way out of his blood. Then he stopped lying. He knew what he had watched her do. He had been awake for the end of it, awake enough to understand that she had

In the disused chapel beneath the west wing of Bloodpine, where the old gods were kept behind a locked door and forgotten, two people met who should never have been able to stand inside those walls at all.Tara-Lee walked the corridors of the enemy's house like a woman strolling her own garden. The wards that should have screamed at a hostile wolf lay quiet as she passed. The guards' eyes slid off her and settled on the stone behind. She had learned in a week what it took to move unseen through the most heavily warded stronghold in the north. She had only to carry the thing in her belly and let it do the hiding."It knows this magic," she murmured, one hand curved over the swell of herself. "Better than their wardens do. It was grown from the same blood the wards were built to trust. To them I am no enemy. I am their own queen come home."Rourke waited in the dark by the cold altar, satchel at his hip, patient as a debt.
Rejected by my Mate, Chosen by his Enemy The Coronation Trap
HaydeeThey dressed me for a crown before they let me ask a single question.Bloodpine received me the way you receive a treasure and a prisoner at once, which are nearer the same thing than anyone rich will admit. Maids I had never met undid my travel clothes with soft careful hands. They washed the dead forest out of my hair and left the silver in it, because the silver, one of them whispered, was a sign. They wound me into grey Bloodpine silk worth more than the whole orphan quarters I had starved in. And through all of it not one of them met my eyes, because you do not look a queen in the eye, and you do not look a thing you are pricing in the eye either, and I had become both inside a single season.That was the joke the whole north kept telling and never once heard itself tell. Eighteen years they had called me worthless. A weak wolf, a kitchen orphan, a nothing to be bled in winter and forgotten by spring. Now the same wolves who

HaydeeWe did not talk about it for three days.Hunter gave me a room in the high tower of Nightfall with a lock on the inside, and he did not knock on it, and I let the silence sit between us like a third person in every room. Then on the third night I found him alone on the training terrace under a black and gold sky, and I was done letting it sit."Say the thing you have been swallowing since the sickroom," I told him.He turned. In the dark his eyes had that Nightfall gold in them, the color that had frightened me the first night and did not frighten me now."You want me to be angry that you saved him." Flat. Careful."I want you to stop being careful. It is worse than anything you could say."He let go of the careful thing he had been holding all week."Fine." He came off the wall he leaned on and crossed to me, and nothing careful was left in his walk. "You want it, here it is. I hated it. I stoo

Then he stopped lying. He knew what he had watched her do. He had been awake for the end of it, awake enough to understand that she had taken the tether between them in both hands and remade it into a thing with a lock, and set the key somewhere he would never reach.He reached anyway. A man worries a missing tooth with his tongue a hundred times a day, knowing the gap is there, unable to leave it be. Cole reached down the bond over and over that morning, into the place where Haydee had lived at the edge of his mind since the moon first tied them, and every time his hand closed on nothing.He had done this to her.

Rejected by my Mate, Chosen by his Enemy Cole's Sacrifice
HaydeeThey gave Cole Shade a healer's cot in the heart of Nightfall, in the house of the enemy who had spent a whole season wanting him dead, and not one of us missed the strangeness of it.Old Fenna worked over him the way she worked over everything, without softness and without pause, and I stood at the foot of the cot and watched the man who had thrown me away on the ceremony floor lose his color hour by hour.The silver had gone into his shoulder shallow. It should not have been killing him. But silver in an Alpha does not stay where it lands. It travels. The black had climbed from the wound up the cords of his neck and down beneath his ribs, and his breath had started to whistle, and the great arrogant heat of him, the Alpha weight that had filled every room I ever hated him in, was guttering out in front of me like a lamp gone dry.Fenna set down her cloth, wiped her hands, and did not lie to me. She never had."The
