Sydney

I roll onto my back, unsure how much time has passed. One second, I was tackling Gabriel into the fog-soaked pavement, and the next, I’m here, in a lightless room that seems to stretch for miles.

I’m not alone. Gabriel coughs nearby, followed by the sound of his leg dragging over what feels like tile.

My eyes eventually adjust to the darkness, and the ceiling comes into view several hundred feet above my head, domed and intricate, with sweeping murals from an age long lost to time.

“Where did you take us?” I ask, turning my head toward the slightly blurry figure resting his back against a shadowed wall.

Gabriel looks at me, his light brown hair brushing over his shoulders, much longer than the last time I saw him. His eyes narrow, and his mouth parts in a firm scowl. “I didn’t take you anywhere. You shouldn’t be here. You’re not the one I needed, and I’m running out of time.” He groans softly, physically dragging his leg up so it’s bent at the knee. I watch his leg begin to

  • The Alpha King's Breeder   Blood in the Forest

    ArisCrisp, clear moonlight snakes between the gnarled, frost covered trees. My paws pound shallow snow, but I don’t feel the cold bite. I needed this. Desperately. I needed to be out in my wolf form while leaving the rest of the world behind, even if just for a moment. The castle fades into the distance. I race over hills and into shallow valleys, following the curve of a mountain creek, still burbling. Ice glimmers on the water's surface and starts to solidify the higher I climb, but the silver surface begins to darken, which catches my attention after an hour spent running, barely thinking, unable to form a single rational thought. The human side of me spots blood before my wolf senses catch up to what I’m seeing. I skid to a stop next to the creek, taking in the rich, iron scent. I follow the trail–bloody droplets at first, then a puddle, then a path where something large was dragged several yards into a clearing. It’s a deer. I halt at the edge of the clearing, hackles raise

  • The Alpha King's Breeder   Don't Go So Deep

    Posey“You’re lying to me about something,” Aris says. My back hits the wall of the alcove. He braces a hand against the wall beside my head, tsking, his hooded eyes meeting mine under the cover of his lashes. “I’ve been trying to figure it out, you know? You felt like you didn’t have any options when it came to the trajectory of your life, and I offered you an out.” The words brush over my temple.“You offered to marry me, Aris.”“And?”“You don’t love me. Doesn’t that matter to you?”He arches a brow. He smells like whiskey and smoke. Like he’s been resting in front of a fire staring into the flames for hours. “I’m fucking engaged to someone I’ve met once. You tell me.”“You’re drunk,” I accuse him, and he smiles wryly, his brows arched. “How’d you figure that one out?”I lick my lips as his scent curls around my senses. Memories flash before me–a moment just like this, his body inches from mine, but his eyes had been dark with something other than hatred then. This is the side of

  • The Alpha King's Breeder   He's Been Rejected

    PoseyWillow’s voice is soft. I press my phone to my ear with my shoulder, the recesses of the archives spanning out before me in dusty shelves and varying shades of black. I’m at least four levels underground, and the air is thin and murky as I zigzag, trying to find the table I claimed for myself earlier this morning.“So, wait, you’re staying with Aris?”“Yeah,” I murmur, trying to keep my voice low even though I might be the first person to take an interest in this section of the archives in like a thousand years. I balance the heavy books, standing on my toes to peer over the shorter shelves toward the lamplight that seems like it’s leagues away. “It wasn’t my decision.”“Tell me again about this Morgan chick. She sounds awful.”“She’s… gorgeous. Tall and lean, you know, like the models in your fashion magazines.”Willow snorts. “Come on, Posey. Their engagement is all over the news, but the royals haven’t uttered a word about it. Is he for real?”“I think so. I haven’t spoken to

  • The Alpha King's Breeder   She Lives Here Now

    ArisPosey’s cloaked in gray as she approaches the castle. I watch her through the window in my study, the way she’s swallowed by the faint moonlight. The last remnants of sunset have been washed from the sky, driven back by the stars, but it does nothing to light her path after a day spent doing whatever the hell she does at the temple archives. I haven’t asked in the few days she’s been here. I haven’t spoken to her at all since she arrived. She takes her meals in her room, just like me.Seeing her again was startling. Seeing her here, lit by silver shadows? She looks like she is meant for this place, which is only making this worse. The newspaper on my desk rustles as the house refills my glass of whiskey. I glance at the paper, at the headline on the front page, and stuff my fist in my pocket as I look away. “Prince Aris of Veiled Valley engaged to Princess Morgan Ravenswood of Celestoria.”I was not the one to announce it. Neither was my family. Which begs me to believe her idi

  • The Alpha King's Breeder   Gray Like Me

    PoseySnow coats the ancient cobblestone in wet streaks of silver. Flakes stick to my gray wool cloak, the hood pulled over my hair, which is braided down my back. I blend with the landscape in shades of steel and ash, but my black boots catch the gleam of lantern light swirling a familiar magic that settles in my bones and turns my heart to dust. Roman walks beside me in silence, his phone screen illuminating the space between us in artificial blue-hued light. I try to swallow, but the knot of nerves pressing against my vocal chords makes it impossible. “He knows I’m coming, right?” I ask in a croak that sounds like a toad. Roman nods, shrugging a shoulder like this isn’t the end of the world as I know it. Like I haven’t spent three months in a purgatory of my own making because of the man who lives in the castle now casting us in its snowy shadow. The castle itself is something out of a gothic fever dream. At least a half-dozen spires stretch into the thick clouds, and four towers

  • The Alpha King's Breeder   Moving On

    ArisFour Months Later…It never snows in Veiled Valley, even in the winter. At least, it shouldn’t be snowing. Rain, yes. It rains often. So often, honestly, that I can tell what time it is just based on how the storm clouds begin to roll over the mountains with the promise of our nightly thunderstorms. But snow? I stare out the window at the silver landscape, narrowing my eyes at the guards posted at the gate. They’re just as confused as I am, but at least they’re enjoying it. “I think it’s a ridiculous name, but Soren has his heart set on it,” Maeve says from somewhere behind me with a deep sigh. “Can you imagine naming a child after a fruit?”“Is he particular to clementines?” Brie asks with a small laugh. “No, he doesn’t even like oranges. I have no idea what’s gotten into him lately, but when we found out we were having another girl, he pitched the name, and I immediately laughed at him and told him over my dead body, but he’s been calling her that, and now Fallon is calling
