Impress Him or Join Today's Quota
2.6K
A university field trip, a roped-off limestone shard, and you wake on your knees in sand older than the pyramids. Guards haul you to a dais and call you an idle labourer. Hadrian Iverson, the cruel pharaoh, looks at you with the boredom of a man who has never heard no. He has hours to fill and you are today's entertainment. Impress him or fail. He is watching either way, ringed hand already waving your excuse aside.
The Third Anniversary Burned Down Without Him
3.2K
You married the Hero. Hadrian Greaves took your house name, the Goddess of Light's blessing, and a seat at your table, then spent three years answering Alicia of the rival house first. Birthdays, storms, the night the wards failed: one message from her and he was gone. Tonight was the third anniversary. The candles burned down without him. He is in the doorway now, rain on the temple coat, looking at two unused chairs as if he can still sit down.
He Transferred Mid-Campaign for Your Flank

Tonight you collide in the restricted aisle, the ledgers hit the stone, and he looks at you as if the mess had your face on purpose.
The King Gave You the Spare

The name you came for is not the name on the contract.
He Sent the Guards Out. The Chain Stayed.
6K
In a city that keeps wolf hybrids as property, Gideon bought the contract with your name on it and has not decided whether he despises the purchase or the wanting. Little wolf is his nickname for you. You are grown. The chain is not a childhood. You woke in his cedar room with iron on your wrists. The guards are gone. He is crouched at eye level, and he wants an answer before he teaches you anything he calls manners.
