Selene cocked her head in a strange motion. “You have placed her in the path of the sorcerer? To redeem her?” The Moon Goddess shrugged, the expression making her ethereal being almost look human. Selene scowled, as much as wolf could scowl. “The woman has no redeemable qualities! Even now, all she thinks about is killing Cassy and ruining Lino. There is nothing to redeem in her. Besides, her life is Cassy’s to take. Do you wish to change that? To help her?” Sadness flickered in the eyes of the goddess very swiftly. “They are all my children, Selene. It doesn’t matter how terrible a child becomes, the mother never stops loving them. She never gives up on them. Her life might be Cassy’s to claim, but I do doubt my favored will have much reason to kill her if she turns a new leaf.” “The woman will not turn a new leaf. It doesn’t matter how many times you try to help. A leopard will never change its spots.” The Goddess moved back, settling in her preferred throne. “

Cassy rode across the hill, smiling with her face turned toward the sky. It was a great day for a ride. It was all perfect. The day. The ride. Lino. Her relationship with him. She knew in her gut that things were going to get better. For all of them. She brought Morra along, because the woman had seemed to have a lot of work to do. She'd reassigned the task to the other maids and had the woman follow her. She knew Morra didn't like her much, but she was the only companion she had had for the past few days that was somewhat tolerable. She stole a glance at the petit woman. "You can ride with me if you're tired," she said for the third time. Morra stared straight ahead, sweating from trying to keep up with her. "Again, thank you Luna. You are very kind." She had rejected her offer everytime she asked, even if it was so obvious that she was exhausted from walking the far distance. It made Cassy uncomfortable, as they made the perfect image of 'The tyrant and h

Howling loud enough to shake the ground, Cassy broke the arrow the arrow, and threw the other half of it for the woman behind Morra. It hit it's mark, landing in the woman's side. She suspected it was a surface injury but she didn't care to find it out. She had created enough distraction with which they could run from here. The male whipped around, dashing for Cassy. Numbing herself to the pain of the wolfsbane and it's effects that had already begun to settle in, Cassy lunged for the male whose sword had begun to rise to cut through her. She was not going to die again. She had so much to do. So much to live for now. The useless wolfsbane was nothing compared to her determination to survive. She dropped into a low crouch at the last second and kicked her foot out, causing the male to fall on his side, sword clattering out of his grasp. But Cassy didn't wait to watch what she had done. She ran for the sword, grabbing it from the floor and she grabbed Morra's wrist

"Cassy!" Lino shouted the moment they reached the gates and Cassy would have swerved out of the way, had she enough strength to. "Where were you? What happened?!" he bellowed, rushing to take her from Morra's grasp. With the last of her strength, Cassy pulled away from his reach. "Where was I?! What happened?! You did this! You let this happen by abandoning me out there! I should never have trusted you and taken your word. We could've died. I could've died, again!" Lino frowned. "What do you mean?" Cassy slapped at his chest, even as her vision blurred and her consciousness slipped from her. "Where on earth have you been the entire day?!" Lino blinked, eyes darting about. "I took Princess Adrienne to the doctor for--" "Oh for the love of the Goddess!" Cassy yelled, enraged. "I waited for you like a fool, believing you would come to me, believing you would keep your word and I--" Cassy sighed sharply as the last of her strength left her. She couldn't sta

Eleanor was awake long before her eyes opened. She was on a horse. How did she know this? She kept hoping up and down in a painful motion and it kept jarring her awake. She was tired and felt heavy. She just wanted to go back to sleep. Her eyes suddenly shot open. How and why was she on a moving horse? She found it hard to move as she was still bound and she hand been placed over the horse on her stomach. What in the world... "Stay still, or you will fall. But if you do want to squirm anyway, be my guest. I will not hesitate to leave you behind if you fall," the male said and she recognized the same deep voice that had lulled her to sleep. She raised her head a little to find him riding beside her on another horse. Had he stolen the horses? They hadn't been in the shelter...though there had been hay. How had she not notice being taken out of the shelter and being placed atop a horse? Why did she feel dazed and tired? "Did you spell me?!" She sq

Eleanor felt him rather than heard him behind her and her scream shook the forest when something hard crashed into her, toppling her over. Panting, she squinted at his eyes that glowed. "Please, don't kill me." "I told you to stay put!" He roared and something within her wanted to keel over, kneel to him, bow to him. She fought against it and snarled at him. "Why? So when you're done with them, you can continue with me as well?! So you can rip me apart as much as it pleases you?! Like hell I will stay put just so you can kill me." He laughed and his voice had her fine hair rising. She was suddenly aware of the fact that he was stretched above her, and how they were melded together in all the wrong places. "Get off me!" He blinked, and straightened faster than she could have thought possible as he pulled himself off her. Cussing at him, she patted down her--his clothing, getting the dust and leaves off it. "You're hybrid?" He stalked away, grippin

Cassy's eyes swung open and she lunged out of her bed, steaming. It didn't matter that her head was aching terribly, or that her shoulder stung horribly. She threw the sheets aside and stomped toward the bathroom. "Luna," Morra said, staring from the corner of her bed where she had been sleeping before Cassy awoke. "You must rest and eat. The physician said you will feel weak for the next few days but--" "I'm fine," she snapped at Morra as she sprayed water in her face, rinsing it. The woman fell silent and Cassy looked at her. She wasn't angry at Morra. Why was she snapping the woman who had stayed by her side when Lino had failed her again? "Sorry. I just...i need to...train. Ready my training gear." A worried look flickered on the woman's face. "You are not well. You should rest. You can train later. The ceremony has been shifted farther to the next seven days. You can--" "What?" Cassy asked, straightened from the cauldron of water. "Who shifted the

Lino watched Cassy storm away from the yard and he turned around, equally fuming. She was mistaken about everything. She did not understand what had happened, and it was more annoying that she would not even hear him out. He had never seen her so angry, and he did not know how to deal with it. His area expertise did not extend to dealing with an angry mate. He had felt her outrage through the bond while he had been on the ride, and it had pulled him all the way back to the castle from where he had been in an important meeting with the few sentries he had left by the borders that were still alive. He had been out there every single day since she had been attacked by the sorcerers. He had hoped to find a clue on who might have sold out details of Cassy's location to the sorcerers. The timing had been off. He had had physicians look at the dead bodies they uncovered everyday and it had been evident that the deaths occured a little after midnight. Not five hours earl

Don't lie to me

Cassy had been biting her fingers off in her room, nervous and worried. Perhaps she should not have been so harsh. Perhaps she should have considered the fact that he had looked so tired while he had been talking to her. Maybe she had been mistaken about the princess. Maybe it had all been one huge coincidence. She shouldn't have yelled at him that way. She should go apologize to him. She was just wound up tight about everything and the thing with the princess kept popping up. She had every reason to be angry after what had happened, but she should have heard him out in the very least. She had twisted the doorknob and taken the path to Lino's room, only to find that he wasn't in. Then she had walked to the study, but upon turning towards it, she had heard a female's moan. Her ears had perked, and her heart had started to race at the sound of it. She didn't want to believe it. She knew it was coming from his study, but she didn't want to believe it unt

Eleanor

The sound of shuffling feet filled his room and Lino knew it was Kayden. He pulled back from the princess, breathing hard. His vision was stained red and when he peered down at her hand, he saw that he had twisted her wrist. She seemed to notice it too and the moment the pressure of his aura lifted off of her, she fell to the ground, unconscious. “The King will not be pleased—“ “Not right now, Beta!” Lino roared, and Kayden’s head bowed at the command. Lino dove his fingers into his hair as she tried to get his anger in control. He couldn’t. He couldn’t breathe while knowing the woman who tried to kill his mate was still alive. His body was tight with leashed violence. He had to react. He had to do something with himself or he might just kill the woman and bring war to his doors. “Get her out of here,” he said to Kayden. “Do not try to fix her arm until I give the order to. I want her to suffer for what she did to Cassy. No pain reliefs or knock out tonics. I wa
