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
Grey's Alpha Intruder
Clara“What makes you think that you’re the sane one?” I asked Bruess. “You could be lying about everything, including my mother.”Bruess lay back in his seat thoughtfully. “You’re right. There is no way to know if I’m being honest. Then judge for yourself, though I’m afraid my brother has ways of wasting your valuable time.”I closed my eyes and tried to concentrate on his emotions to see if he was telling the truth. His next words jarred me.“Are you trying to get up here?” He pointed to his head. “Loretta did the same thing. She had an extraordinary way of getting in a werewolf’s head. Some would say that it was a kind of sorcery she delved into.”No one had ever called me out on this strange skill that I had with sensing a werewolf’s emotions. “She never had the Stigma or the Mark, nor do I,” I said defensively.“You don’t deny trying to root around in my head.” He crossed his arms. “How very fascinating. What am I thinking now?”“It’s not like I can hear what you can think,” I sa
Grey's Alpha Vampire's Bite
ClaraA horrible, stabbing pain pierced my neck, and I couldn’t scream. It was as if someone had jabbed me with two daggers made of ice. The vamp siphoned my blood into his throat, and my head grew dizzy. His arms crawled around my back and held me tighter to his body. Just as I was beginning to pass out, he pulled away. His scarlet eyes grew bright with my stolen life’s blood.“Delicious,” he said with boyish happiness. “You know, I was looking for you all this time. I nearly despaired that you were gone from my sight forever. I’m going to take my time sampling you.”I could barely respond. My leaden arms hung by my sides, and my pulse slowed down to a crawl. “You… damn… leech,” I slurred, but there was no real heat behind my words. I was too weak to fight.“I know that you love it,” he said, and then he jammed his tongue inside mine.I gave a sound of rage, but the vamp’s grip was too strong. He moaned as his tongue explored the caverns of my mouth, and I tried desperately to pull a
Grey's Alpha Cage Prickly Bird
Deanneth When Clara decided on a whim that she wanted to chat with my half-brother, at first the thought annoyed me. I suppose my brother still had his charm intact. He was supposed to be the leader of the Dark Shade after Arinauld died. My sire had taught him well, or maybe his regal bearing was far more authentic than mine. There was a flavor of noble melancholy about him as well. Perhaps that was what drew her to him. I congratulated my brother’s cunning. I guess the old devil still had it in him. Obviously, Bruess needed to be disciplined, but the thought bored me. I had years of experience of thinking up new ways to humiliate Bruess, but he was surprisingly resilient. The problem with tormenting my brother was that the other werewolves of the pack were starting to notice his strength. He bore each new punishment with fatalistic grace that annoyed me. He was starting to win back the admiration of the pack, and I knew that he still had the ears of several Councilors, including Lor
Grey's Alpha She Is Mine
DeannethIn between dreamless sleep, I heard someone pound at my door. I had half a mind to tear them limb from limb. No one was allowed to disturb my sleep unless the Quarter was on fire.“Lord Deanneth. Emperor Deanneth!”It was Felix. I groaned and rubbed my eyes.“Stop pounding the damn door and come in already,” I said.He opened the door in a rush, and I watched him from my bed. “You seem to be missing someone,” I said coolly. “Surely you did not come back here without a certain lady that I expressly told you to protect?”If his brown face could turn pale, it would do so right now. A sullen look was on his face, but it did him credit that he seemed remorseful for the time being. “Your half-brother shut me out of his rooms. I told Clara to come, but she refused.”I sat up straight and interrogated Felix. “Let me get this straight. I told you in no uncertain terms to stick to Clara like her second shadow. I told you that you would end up in a soup if you didn’t do this for me. I a
Grey's Alpha Keep Her Alive
ClaraFingers stroked my hair. I saw my father in the distance shuffling parchment on his desk. Someone hummed a soothing melody, and I listened to it. My mother held me in her arms. “You’re going to have a little sister.” Her fingers grasped mine and pushed them onto her swollen belly. “We’re going to call her Elena.”“Elena,” I burbled happily. My small hands patted my mother’s stomach, and I giggled when I felt a kick. “You’re going to protect her and make sure that she’s loved. Even if they say terrible things about her, even if they say she’s not really your father’s. You’re going to always be there for her.” **I was half-asleep when I heard voices murmuring in the darkness. Someone massaged my neck, and I moaned in pain.“Ugh, what in hells is that smell?” said a low voice. “It’s not the regular slum stench.”“Vamp blood. You better get used to it. They’re going to be crawling out of the woodwork now.”There was a sound of disgust. “Is that what that is? Smells like old b
