SERAPHINA The contractions started three hours ago. I’ve been hiding in these chambers since my belly started to show, living behind the lie that I’m too traumatized from my time in the North to face the court. Father announced it with such conviction that no one dared question him. They have no idea what I’ve

Chapter 11 SERAPHINA The journey back to the Eastern Kingdom takes five days. I spend them sitting in the cramped carriage, watching the landscape change from snow-covered mountains to the rolling green hills of home. The driver doesn’t speak to me except to indicate when we’re stopping for the night. No courtesy, no “Your Highness,”

Chapter 5 KIERAN I work in silence, cleaning the worst of her wounds with water from my flask and applying salve to the cuts on her face and arms. Each time my fingers brush her skin, my wolf surges against my consciousness, restless and demanding in ways I don’t understand. The scent of her blood

Chapter 4 KIERAN The forest stretches endlessly before us, shadows dancing between ancient pines as our horses move through the undergrowth. We’ve been riding for hours, following reports of movement in the borderlands, refugees, most likely, fleeing the chaos that erupted the moment Princess Seraphina of the East decided her personal desires mattered more than
