Grey's Alpha Unwanted Show
ClaraWhen the three of us finished breakfast, we headed out of my room onto the veranda overlooking the entirety of the city of Khordon. Khordon was built on several sloping hills, and the Quarters lay on one of those hills.Piper pointed out several buildings to me. “That’s my home,” she said, as she picked out a yellow brick building with several pavilions and gardens to the west. “It’s the House of Yultis. My father lives there.”She pointed to an intimidating castle surrounded by other square buildings. Black banners covered the battlements, and I could pick out the silver emblem of the Dark Shade: claws ripping through the fabric. “That’s the Seat of the Alpha, where Dean is supposed to live. But he likes living in the Quarters more.”“He’s not supposed to live there yet,” Felix said. “Even though everyone knows that he’s the chosen Emperor, Dean still has to pay lip service to Prince Bruess.”I remembered how Prince Legiere had spoken of his half-brother as living in a gilded c
Grey's Alpha Prince Bruess
ClaraWaiters came through and set up several plates, cups, and silverware around the table. Piper took a seat at the furthest edge of the table, and Felix sat close to her. Our bodyguards took their places in the shadowy corners of the room, and I realized that two other guards were standing close by to the half-brother of Prince Legiere.Prince Bruess watched me and gestured to a seat directly across from him.“Sit,” he said. His voice was quiet, but commanding. Unlike Deanneth’s musical tones, his voice was harsh steel on a grindstone. That single word mesmerized me, and I sat down.I studied him. His short hair was tied into crimson and indigo braids. Gold crystals hung from his ears, and a black silk scarf covered his broad shoulders. His chest was bare, save for a web of silver crystals and chains. A gold slash of ink glistened from his heavy-lidded eyes, and an ornate gold muzzle covered his face. He was terribly handsome, but there was a stony quality to him as if he were chis
Grey's Alpha Promised Visit
ClaraWe spent the long, uncomfortable meal in complete silence. I could barely taste my food, and even the novelty of the iced drink Piper called coffee did not distract me from Prince Bruess’s domineering presence. He did not eat. I’m not sure why he would sit in this restaurant just to admire the colorful peaks of Terran, but I guessed that there was an unspoken rule that he could not remove his muzzle. This sort of punishment was common enough in garrisons and prison cells, but I had never seen it implemented for such a high-ranking member of the pack. It struck me as incredibly cruel and debasing, but seeing such a powerful werewolf in this state sent a clear message – there was only one heir to the throne, and it would be Deanneth.There were other things that I began to notice. A light golden chain was tied across his wrists. He shifted his position in his chair, and I saw that his feet were bare. Heavy golden cuffs encircled his ankles, and they were connected by a chain. Ther
Grey's Alpha Go See the Fool
ClaraPrince Legiere’s lips quirked up, and he gauged my expression. Slowly, he walked around me, as if he was sizing up a prize horse for the races.“Hmm. You want to see my brother. How very interesting.”Suddenly, he lunged at me and cradled my head in his hands. I felt the sharp tips of his claws trace my cheeks. The heat of his sweating body enticed me to step closer to him. His hands crept down my neck and then further down to my waist. His grip was tight, but I kept staring straight into his dark blue eyes. I would not turn away. To look away was to admit defeat.He tilted his head to the side. “Why? Is there a particular reason why you’ll accept his offer? He probably wants to bed you. How can I send you to his side when he wants something so crude from you?”“He doesn’t,” I said firmly. “He wants me to tell a story.”Prince Legiere burst out laughing, but then he gripped me closer to his body. His sweat mingled with my skin, and my heart struggled wildly like an ensnared rabb
Grey's Alpha Prince Living in Graves
ClaraI prepared myself to leave the Quarters at dusk. My mind was a whirlwind of thoughts. Even now, I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to accomplish. What exactly would an enemy of Prince Legiere say about him? I certainly wasn’t currying Prince Legiere’s favor by doing this. After he had told me that I could go to Prince Bruess, he had shut himself up in his room to sleep. If he had been any other werewolf, I would have thought that he was sulking.I decided to wear a simple brown leather jerkin and black trousers. I had no intention of being seduced. Maybe it was just pure curiosity that drew me to Prince Bruess. Maybe I just wanted to see Prince Legiere’s reaction. He was annoyed, but as a whole, he kept calm.When I headed out of the Quarters, a werewolf leaned against the walls of the corridor that led out of the building.“Hello Felix,” I said. I tried not to roll my eyes. Of course. I supposed Prince Legiere couldn’t help himself after all. Felix would probably report back e
Grey's Alpha Stay
ClaraI sat down on the couch before Prince Bruess. I held out my hand, and the white finch flitted down to my fingers.“It’s not afraid at all,” I said in surprise.“She. Her name is Pearl,” Prince Bruess corrected me. His voice was the very essence of serenity, and his eyes took on a darker, burnished color of red. His languid position on the couch reminded me so much of Prince Legiere, that I couldn’t help but smile.He watched me. “Have I amused you in some way?” There was no malice in his questioning; he appeared genuinely curious.“You look alike,” I said. I quickly added, “If that is not offensive to say to you.” He gave a small smile, and I noticed how his face had slight scars along his nose and jaw – the places where the muzzle must have hung heaviest on his skin. “Not at all,” he replied. “We are brothers, after all. We shared the same sire. Arinauld of House Legiere.”The finch in my hand nibbled my fingers. It pinched, but her beak didn’t hurt me. I rubbed a finger along
Grey's Alpha God Emperor Died
Clara “We won’t stay,” Felix said, but he was looking at me instead of Bruess. “You won’t,” Prince Bruess said to him. “What about the Lady Clara? I hope that you are made of sterner stuff than to bend at every whim my brother has.” “You make it sound like he has me under his thumb,” I said, and Felix made a sound of disgust. “You are under his rule, whether you like it or not. You only think that because Prince Legiere has made you his new favorite,” Felix said. “You don’t know do you? How many favorites come and go? A lot of the stupid ones thought that they had special immunity. Mark my words, you’ll end up in the gutter like them.” Bruess watched Felix and whistled. The birds on Felix finally flew back into their cage. “And you, little shadow?” he asked. “When will your time come? When will my brother tire of you too?” Felix bared his teeth. “Better to be the lapdog of a winner than a loser like you.” “Better to not be a lapdog at all,” Bruess said evenly. “This is the unfor
Grey's Alpha Notorious Healer
ClaraI froze, but only for a second. I tried to laugh off his suspicion. “Just because I applied healing salves, you think that I must come from the stock of royal healers?”“No. It’s your eyes. Your body. The scent of your blood. I had been trying to figure you out, and now I see your resemblance. She was an unusual healer. Highly skilled, but controversial. Yes. Now it makes sense. You have many admirable qualities, and you are not Transitus or Epsilon. You are the remaining bloodline of the fallen House of Grey. Lady Clara Grey, sired by Lord Donovan, Beta of your pack.”He shook his head. “You should have had an alias. You made it too easy for me to figure it out.”I clenched my fists. “Grey is a common surname in the South, especially in the Moonstone Pack.”He smiled, and it alarmed to see regret in his eyes. “Perhaps it was. The name has fallen out of favor now. Blood will out, though. Yours is unmistakable.” Prince Bruess laid back and shut his eyes. “I knew your mother when
