I signed onto the breeding contract because the fleet does not clear that rift without it.The scars across my back go tight whenever Duncan is near.He leads the escort detail with orders so quiet you lean in to catch them.In the corridor last watch he laid his palm flat against me, checking and claiming at once.Not yet, he said.Then he took me against the bulkhead, and the detail waited outside the hatch.I walked to my post afterward and could not...

I walked up to a closed gate with nothing behind me and nowhere to go.Orlando has never let an outsider omega through it. He opened it for me.He does not raise his voice on this ranch. Nothing here has needed him to.The first night he took a belt from the tack room and looped it around my throat.Come, he said. That was all of it.He led me across the yard by it in front of his own men, and had me until the rut had taken the night.I woke at noon mar...

My debt followed me into this hive and the creditors are two filings from taking what is left.Ivor Burke's protection is all that stands between them and me.He does not explain the hive. He grants the access, the doors open, and that is the answer.He reached past me in the registry chamber and the ridge along his spine dragged over my collarbone.Then he put the slate down.He had me against the console with the seizure notice glowing above us, and stopped...

I have outrun every threat this preserve has ever faced, and midnight brings one more.Running is the only thing I have ever been able to count on.Ashton stands over the maps with me, and his authority reads as safety and as something else entirely.Last week he dropped his voice and told me to come here.My legs tensed to obey instead of to run. I have not been able to unfeel it since.He watched it happen and said nothing. He knew.That is the shame...

I have been alone on this ice eleven months and I talk to keep everything at a distance.The pod holds heat for six more weeks.Oliver's voice cuts through that wind and never rises at the end.He brought me down into a chamber under the ridge and sealed it. The light along him filled the room.Hold the panel, he said. He did not say it again.He took me against it with the wind shut out above us, those ridges burning brighter.I could not look at him f...

I carry the scar of the last alpha who decided he was finished with me.I treat it as a warning. I have been ignoring it for a month.Dalton is my partner in the alliance holding the enclave's eastern grounds.His presence promises the one thing that would tie my bloodline to his for good.Last week our hands met over the alliance documents and he did not move his.The sealed vault door stood open behind him. Neither of us looked at anything else.That...

I have held this aerie alone since the last one who tried to take it.The wound closed badly. My independence is the only thing keeping it shut.Oscar Jennings took the neighboring ledge and rules it as though hatched on it.He gives an order across open air and my wings ache to tangle with his.Last month he called one down the wind and I turned into it before I decided to.I have not stopped feeling that turn. He saw it happen.That is the shame of i...

The summons arrived with the royal seal still warm and my name inside it.I have no rank, no argument, and after tonight no say over my body.Colin Underwood is a dragon lord with scarred forearms and a court behind him.He read the tribute aloud and softened not one word of it.Then he told me what he would do until the bloodline is secure, act by act, and watched me hear it.My hands shook. Not from fear.That is the shame of it. Not the summons. Tha...

I hold this court by never showing it anything. A throne is kept by staying unreachable.The man kneeling on my crimson floor tonight is the one who sold me out.Piers came back and asked for the collar. He offered no defense. He knelt and waited.Last night I brought the leather hood down over his eyes, buckled the collar at his throat, and held him with my tail until nothing was left of him.He thanked me afterward. That is when my hands gave me away.That...

I have held this territory nine years and nobody has tested me twice.Charlotte comes to the middle of my chest, and she is the only thing here I fear.She has never once flinched from me. That is the whole trouble.Last night she put both hands flat on my chest and told me to stop deciding for her.So I lifted her off the ground on one arm, put her against the stone, and took her.She held on. She did not break.Nine years of keeping clear of that, und...

My own pack threw me out and I am raising my sister's boy on what was left.Pack law is the only thing standing between him and the wolves who did it.Fletcher swore an oath to protect us both. He has kept it four years without touching me.He is in rut now. I can smell what it is doing to him from the doorway.Last night in the archive room his control came apart, and he told me to go.I did not go for a long moment. Neither of us has mentioned it since....
