  1. Connor was a little insulted. Soren had barely penetrated him, yet he’d been walking around with a sore ass all morning. Hopefully it would go away by the afternoon; the last thing he needed was for River to notice him walking weird. He hesitated by the door. Scanning the hall, Connor waited for the last person to vanish before pushing into the room. Why did this feel so illicit? He was just going to sit in on a class. Of werewolves. There was nothing wrong with it. Brienne would cover for him

    Oh, I can think of all kinds of fun "welcome home" activities

    This is definitely another one of my stories that makes me tear up when I think about it.

    Epilogue

    If you're interested in continuing Aaron and Itumak's journey, The Alliance is the sequel to Amber Waves (though it was written first, so might have some rough patches in terms of continuity). I'm glad you enjoyed the story

    Epilogue

    AARON “My fellow Astarans, it is with the greatest sorrow that I announce the death of Queen Amber, at 2:55 this morning.” Read the speech. Look at the cameras. Do not cry. Aaron walked numbly through the palace, barely acknowledging the people around him. Servants bowed. Lords offered their condolences. He accepted them without thought. Every action felt artificial. He wasn’t the king of Astara. Aaron was a small boy. The world enveloped him, dark and terrifying. He couldn’t go on. N
  6. Connor fiddled with the gate, pushing it open for Soren to pass through. Soren still didn’t feel comfortable entering this neighbourhood; he just knew someone was going to yell at him to stop cluttering the lawns with his presence. “I don’t get it,” he said as Connor led him toward the house. “Don’t you live with your dad during the week?” “Yeah, but he told me to make sure I was showered properly before we went to pick up my clothes. I figured we could help each other with that better if we

    I like including other characters in my stories. Their tales don't end just because they aren't the centre of attention anymore.

    Chapter 29

    AARON “We are ships adrift at sea. The storms of life swell about us, threatening to sink us. Some of us roll with the waves, righting ourselves as best we can. “Some of us slice through the swells, forging our own paths through the storm.” Read the speech. Look at the camera. Do not squint. Do not cry. “At this very moment, my mother fights for her life. She is a woman who refuses to let life dictate its terms. Her entire reign, she has carved through the waves, bending the sea to he

    The Violist

    Fingers crossed.
  10. Tears streamed from Khurtschono’s eyes. Her wrist was in agony, yet Khurtschono continued dragging her bow across the viola’s strings. Every press of the neck sent searing pain lancing through her arm. She gritted her teeth and played on. The Nicansien filled the air around her as the coppery smell of blood flooded her nose. Miles watched through it all, shaking his head in disappointment. Her eyes snapped open. A dark world greeted her, and an alarm blared. Reaching over to grab her phone,

    ITUMAK Aaron stood in his underwear. No, Prince Aaron. Itumak closed the door to the prince’s suite softly. The two stared at each other for a moment. “Sorry about this,” Aaron shrugged. “Someone was supposed to help me with the robes. I have no idea how to actually wear them.” “It’s okay, your Highness,” Itumak said. “Your Grace.” Aaron’s lips turned upward slightly. “Captain Darren put me in charge of your personal protection. He’ll be busy with overall security,” Itumak explained
  12. He… wasn’t mated? Connor walked beside Soren, staring at the river beside them. He wasn’t mated. Fuck, he could never mention this to his mother. It would give Emma way too much power over him. But he wasn’t mated. What was all this then? Inviting him over, playing SoA with him, making him the bracelet that still sat snug over his wrist? Was it all some elaborate con? No, it couldn’t be. Soren broke up with him. Over a mistake Connor made. Why would he do that if he was trying to fuck wi

    Chapter 27

    AARON Lord Sarin was stalling. And it pissed Aaron off to no end. His mother was dying — a month into treatment had done little to improve her condition. And the head of the council was dragging his feet setting up the transfer of power. Aaron ran through the Queenswood with Itumak on his heels. It was the only way he could clear his mind. The only way he could escape. Thinking about his runs like that only depressed the prince even more. But it was true. There was a miasma growing over

    He's trying, but he really should try to be more direct.

    Hidden Lies

    The longer it takes, the worse it will be. Let's hope Soren hasn't waited too long.
  16. Soren had never seen a non-pack school before. Jasper High looked… well, not exactly nicer, but better than Elias Academy. He couldn’t quite put his finger on it; the paint was a bit fresher, the lawns a bit greener. Maybe he was just imagining things. He supposed he had seen one before — primary school was full of both werewolves and non-infected students. Soren assumed Jasper High functioned in much the same way; they had wolf runners, just not as many as the pack schools. But it had been ye

    ITUMAK “Find Jason Farin. Bring him to the palace.” Itumak watched the car fade into the dark of night. Behind him, the plane finally moved, taxiing toward a hanger in the distance. Floodlights kept night at bay, and a chill wind kept thoughts of sleep far away. Aaron was safe. It had been agonising letting the car leave without him. But his prince had given Itumak a task. He had to obey. Pulling out his phone, Itumak hurried off the tarmac in case any other planes were landing. He st

    Gone Fishing

    Everyone's a critique. Surely it should be enough that the two are happy together, right? Right??
  19. “Where do you think you’re going with that?” Connor stopped by the door, juggling his backpack, gym bag, and a hard case. He set the case down, biting back a sigh. “I thought I told you. I want to catch a fish for Soren,” he said, turning back to his father. “And you’re going to carry that pole the entire day, and presumably Lenyal as well?” Fuck, he should have known this was going to happen. Why hadn’t he hidden the pole last night? “No sir,” he sighed. “Call your mother and tell h

    Chapter 25

    AMBER Amber wanted to cry. No, she was crying. As the rollercoaster plummeted yet again, the queen of Astara stared at the bloody mucus in her son’s hair. She was so tired. She couldn’t do this again. “Itumak! Itumak, get Captain Darren!” Aaron screamed as they climbed once more. The neko did nothing as they went over another drop. When they bottomed out and began rising toward a loop, he finally moved, fighting to clip an earpiece on before the rollercoaster could interrupt him.
  22. He had a job. Soren couldn’t believe it. He’d fucked up, he’d lied to the entire Chono family, and Catherine gave him a job. Sure, it basically amounted to him mucking the stalls in the morning before work and making sure their horses were stalled properly at night. But he’d be making five coppers a day for it, plus a hot meal every evening. It was more than he deserved. Soren didn’t know how to react to this — a mere thank you would never be enough to show his gratitude. So he sat in the

    Chapter 24

    ITUMAK Pine Mountain was packed with people. There hadn’t been much choice in timing; when the royals said they wanted to visit an amusement park, they got what they wanted. Itumak was just glad he was off the clock. It would be a headache trying to keep an eye on everything around them while tracking the queen and the prince. Of course, the fact that he could go on the rides with Aaron just made things even better. Another requirement of Aaron’s; it was their first time ever visiting a

    Yeah, they're not doing so hot. Hopefully their recovery is fast and painless.
