Sydney holds open the garage door for me, silently, and I step inside. He turns on a light switch. Light spills over the large space. Stupid, menial things I shouldn’t be paying attention to come into focus.

I’m counting each breath I take and each movement he makes in the short amount of time we’ve been together tonight. I make note of the way his freshly polished, fancy shoes sound on the concrete floor, the way his watch catches the fluorescent light overhead as he reaches for a large garment bag laying over the washer and dryer, and how his eyes light up again as he glances at me before opening it. 

That roaring in my ears has to be my heartbeat; otherwise, Sydney has some serious issues with the furnace on the far side of the room. 

He turns toward me, discarding the garment bag back onto the washing machine, and holds open the most luxurious fur coat I’ve ever seen in my entire life.

  • The Alpha King's Breeder   Who's to Blame?

    LexaI slept an entire day away. I couldn’t bring myself to even attempt to get out of bed. It wasn’t a weakness in my body–nothing sore or aching. I’ve always lived and loved routines. I feel my best when I know exactly what a day will bring–or at least should bring. But lately, everything has been so upside down. My spirit is shattered, and there’s nothing I can do to fix it other than succumb to the fatigue that’s been draining me for weeks without my wolf to help keep me balanced. So, I laid in Kaleb’s bed, surrounded by his scent, watching the sunlight play over the ceiling, watching the shadows creep in as the sun began its slow descent back toward the horizon–another day passing, another day further from home. Another day with too many questions and far too little answers. I allowed myself to think about Chessie. I mapped her from memory, sinking so deeply into my thoughts that I could almost feel the cool bite of the creek that runs through the center of Silverhide and that

  • The Alpha King's Breeder   A Father's Broken Heart

    SorenSilverhide is gorgeous in the morning. Wispy fog snakes through the trees as I stomp through wet, almost shin high grass. The little cabin on the edge of the main part of the village is tucked in the shadow of a crop of trees, their leaves morphing to a bright yellowish green as they dry. Yeah, I feel the change in the air. That first jarring cold morning of the upcoming season. Fall is on the horizon, which means Lexa and Blake have been missing for almost a month. It’s hard to believe it’s only been a year since Maeve and I found each other, thrust together as some joke of the Goddess. The joke’s on Her, however, because my mate is currently tucked tight in a bed we lovingly shared–naked–her scent all over my skin, just how I like it. Is She irritated that we made it through her trials, or is that what She wanted all along?Our daughter, our precious demon of fire and wrath, blinks into the sunlit fog, gnawing on my shoulder and curling her little talons in my hair beneath th

  • The Alpha King's Breeder   We Can't Be Together

    LexaI rise on my elbows and blink up at Kaleb. My vision goes spotty for several seconds before repairing itself, but my brain feels like a leaden weight. I’m not sure I’m actually here now, in this room, bracing myself over the side of Kaleb’s bed while my stomach pitches and rolls, the taste of magic heavy on my tongue. “B-Blake? Where did you hear–hear that name?” I’m going to vomit. I don’t think I can help it. My body lurches, and I end up on my knees on the ground before Kaleb can steady me. I close my eyes, the room spinning for several seconds before wobbling back to normal. He exhales sharply through gritted teeth, his hand warm and flat against my upper back. “Put your head between your knees and breathe.”“I feel like I’m on a boat.”“I’ve never been on a boat, but what you’re feeling right now is fae magic in your body. It takes a while to dispel itself.”“I’m going to be sick–”“Fight it,” he commands, and I adjust my position on the hard floorboards and do as he says.

  • The Alpha King's Breeder   Who Is He?

    KalebSilas has a private box in the arena that overlooks the grounds. I squint through the bright, unforgiving lights to the magical dome, watching rain pound the king’s shields. It had been a clear, hot night before this. The rain started only minutes ago, absolutely drenching Pantharas–a flood of epic proportions. Compared to the long-awaited rain that blessed the Glade recently, this feels more like a punishment. Silas paces, glancing at the arena, which is empty. “She should have come out by now. It’s been three hours.”“She’ll come,” I say, my voice booming through the alabaster room. Benches in shades of pale cream take up the majority of the space. I should be down near the grates, ready to run onto the sand to get her when she arrives, but I was barred entrance to the lower levels of the arena today. The king is playing games now. Lexa shouldn’t have made it past the beast trial, and now he blames me. Thunder crackles, booming over the arena. Lightning flares in strips over

  • The Alpha King's Breeder   None of This Is Real

    LexaI slowly turn to Austin’s voice, opening my eyes to first my feet, then slowly look up at figures standing before me. Dozens of them. Faces I recognize. Eyes I know by heart, now milky and unseeing with death. My body’s paralyzed with fear when Austin parts the crowd. My regiment. Warriors I trained with since I was a girl. “Did you love me as I loved you?” he asks, his voice distorted, gravely. His golden hair is stained dark with blood, and his body is… ravaged, by violence and death. “You’re not real!” I shout, my chest tightening painfully. The warriors behind him fade into the darkness, but he remains. He steps toward me, reaching for me, and I feel the touch on my cheek. I scream, stumbling away from him. He smirks, sucking his teeth, looking me up and down, his gaze lingering on the mark on my neck, and then his gaze turns murderous. “You were mine!”“I wasn’t. Not ever. Not during the night we spent together, Austin, I would have known!”“You fucking whore,” he snarls

  • The Alpha King's Breeder   The Maze

    LexaNight falls on the Glade on the day of the second Trial, but the city is more alive than I’ve ever seen it. Kaleb walks steadily a few feet behind me, giving room for the pack to move out of their homes to watch me pass. It’s a procession, something sacred, I realize, as we walk further from the main gate that leads into the fae city beyond and closer to the solid gate to the lands none of these people have ever been allowed to even see. Avery has been beyond the gate for the rare hunts that take place when food is so scarce Kaleb is forced to grovel at the king’s feet. It’s a game to the king–dangling their wolf powers in front of them, keeping them hungry and desperate. It’s all I can think about when we travel into the wide pit, where houses lean at odd angles and the stench of smoke from thousands of funeral pyres burned over the years clings to everything in sight. But there is the gate to the outside world–to freedom I can taste it on the tip of my tongue as the wide, anc
