Caspian

Hope was a dangerous thing. It had a way of making every disappointment hurt twice as much.

Still...

As I stepped out of the car and looked up at the centuries-old stone building before me, I couldn't stop it from stirring somewhere deep inside my chest.

I'd made it.

After hours on the road, countless cups of bitter coffee, and barely enough sleep to call it rest, I had finally reached the archives.

The building stood in complete silence, tucked away from the noise of the city like i

    Daisy The room suddenly felt too small, and worse, I had crossed it so many times that I was certain I could walk it blindfolded. I went from the window to the door, to the fireplace, then to the bed, and then back again.My footsteps had become a rhythm all of their own, one that refused to stop because the moment I stood still, my thoughts caught up with me.Nothing made sense, not one single part of it. I remembered drinking tea with Octavian, I remembered trying to tell him about the baby, I remembered the room spinning, and then, nothing.Absolutely nothing.The next thing I knew, I had opened my eyes to find Caspian standing in the doorway while Octavian lay naked beside me.A shudder ran through my entire body at the mere thought of it. "No..." I whispered for what felt like the hundredth time. I pressed trembling fingers against my temples. "Think."I squeezed my eyes shut as I thought…Had someone come into the room? Had I heard voices? Had someone touched me?Anything, a

    Caspian I had always believed anger clouded judgment and that was why I refused to make decisions while I was furious.Hours earlier, I had nearly forgotten that rule. Now, as the silence settled over my study once more, I forced myself to do the one thing I hated most.Think.I lowered myself into the chair behind my desk and closed my eyes and the image returned immediately.I saw Daisy and Octavian, both sprawled on the bed. My jaw tightened, but this time I pushed past the anger instead of surrendering to it and as the seconds ticked by, I asked myself one question.Just one.Why? Why would Daisy do something like that?The answer didn't come, because there wasn't one. Everything I knew about her stood against it, then another question followed.Why would Octavian?I almost laughed.If there was one man in this house who respected boundaries to a fault, it was my brother. He would rather argue with the entire council than betray me.So why?Nothing. I didn't have an answer an

    Caspian I couldn't stop seeing it. No matter how many times I closed my eyes and no matter how many times I told myself there had to be an explanation.It was still there.Daisy, Octavian, on the same bed.The image replayed over and over until it felt carved into the inside of my skull. I paced the length of my study for what must have been the hundredth time since leaving that room, but it did nothing to help. Instead, I went to one end, I turned back to the other end, before turning again. My fists opened and closed at my sides and it took everything in me to not smash something right now. Added everything I'd been through, I had come home with hope burning inside me. For the first time in weeks, I hadn't been carrying bad news.Professor Hawthorne's discovery had changed everything. Someone had altered the legislation and someone had manipulated the law itself.We weren't chasing a fantasy anymore, we had evidence. Real evidence that could upturn whatever Yvie had up her sle

    Daisy. The days blurred together until I could no longer remember whether it had been two or three since the doctor had been called away.And worse? Every morning began the same way.I woke before dawn, I rushed to the bathroom and I threw up until there was nothing left.By the time I managed to stand upright again, my legs trembled so badly I usually had to lean against the sink just to remain standing."It's getting worse," I whispered to my reflection one morning.The pale woman staring back at me looked nothing like herself.Dark circles had settled beneath my eyes, my cheeks had lost their color, and every time I caught myself smiling at the thought of the tiny life growing inside me, another wave of nausea followed as though determined to remind me how fragile my secret really was."You really are making yourself known." My hand drifted over my stomach as a tiny laugh escaped me, but it quickly dissolved into another groan."I love you," I murmured softly. "But you could be

    Caspian For several long moments, neither of us spoke while the office seemed to grow impossibly quiet as Professor Hawthorne's finger remained resting against that single sentence.I read it again, then again, but nothing changed. The words themselves weren't remarkable, they looked exactly like every other amendment scattered throughout the legislation.Which was precisely why I couldn't understand his reaction."I'm afraid..." I frowned. "...I'm missing something.""You aren't." His answer came quietly."The problem is that this sentence shouldn't exist.""I don't understand." I looked from the page to him."I know." He removed his glasses with deliberate care and polished the lenses with a folded handkerchief before placing them back on his nose. Only then did he reach toward another stack of books beside his desk."This," he said, laying an older edition beside ours, "was published twelve years before your copy.""The paragraph is identical." He opened both books to the same p

    Caspian Hope was a dangerous thing. It had a way of making every disappointment hurt twice as much.Still...As I stepped out of the car and looked up at the centuries-old stone building before me, I couldn't stop it from stirring somewhere deep inside my chest.I'd made it.After hours on the road, countless cups of bitter coffee, and barely enough sleep to call it rest, I had finally reached the archives.The building stood in complete silence, tucked away from the noise of the city like it had been forgotten by time itself.Tall arched windows stretched toward the grey morning sky, stone columns framed the entrance and literally everything about the place whispered history.If there was an answer anywhere, it had to be here. Without wasting so much as a single second, I climbed the worn stone steps and pushed open the heavy wooden doors.The scent hit me immediately. It consisted of old paper, leather, dust and ink. Like that wasn't enough, I saw thousands upon thousands of book

    CaspianThe Crimson Cycle hits every Lycan male on the winter solstice. It is a biological curse. A fever in the blood that demands violence or a mate. Usually, I lock myself in the palace vaults and sweat it out. I suppress the beast. My twin brother, Octavian, always had a way of handling his cyc

    Caspian The second Daisy’s pain spiked through the bond, I knew something was wrong. It wasn't anger, nor was it the usual heat and chaos that always erupted between us whenever we got too close.This was different, this felt like something breaking.I straightened abruptly from the desk in my

    Octavian Daisy eventually fell asleep, but not all at once. It happened in pieces.First her breathing steadied against my chest, the sharp pain in the bond dulling little by little beneath my hands. Then the tension slowly drained from her body until her grip on my shirt loosened completely an
