HERE WASN’T ANYTHING,

she could do about the scent of their furious sex clinging to her skin. Pasha shrugged. She was Lord, and entitled to take a lover if she chose. If her people didn’t like it that was their problem to deal with.

She met Reichart’s eyes when she exited the building, Ahman silent at her heels. Her cousin’s face was pale, the subtle glow of irises betraying his agitation. He would have the worst time of all, thinking he had to protect his cousin from... whatever it was he thought a Lord, and adult female, needed protection from.

“Eslana, Beirun,” she said. “This is Ahman, my consort.”

Eslana stiffened, staring at Ahman. Beirun watched Pasha.

“Consort, Lord?” he asked.

She inclined her head. “It’s a long story, Beirun. For now, we have more pressing matters.”

“More pressing than the sudden mating of our Lord to the brother of the Wolf Prince?”

So they did recognize him. Pasha opened her mouth to remind them of their place- which was not to question her on her personal life- but Ahman responded.

“I am Pasha’s and have been since we were very young,” he said. “Any concerns you have I will address- later.”

“Why didn’t you tell us you were taking a Consort?” Beirun asked. “Traditionally, the elders have some say in who the Lord pairs. The political ramifications-”

“Are moot,” Pasha said. “And I didn’t intend to take Ahman at this time. He is not here because of me.”

Pasha tensed, responding to the crackle of power in her Fae kin as they responded instinctively. She understood the threat they felt- especially considering where they all stood. Eslana glanced at the shop.

“No,” Pasha said, softly, “it’s no coincidence we stand here now. Ahman came to us tracking the shadow wolf.”

“Did you send for him?” Beirun asked.

Pasha’s look was scornful. She didn’t bother to reply.

“No, I came on the direction of my brother,” Ahman said. “We recently learned of- it is better not to name him- the sorcerer’s escape from our containment. It took me longer to track him than it should have.”

“Then we have your people to thank for our current predicament.”

Pasha stiffened. “I think we know exactly who is to blame, and she paid for her evil with her life.”

“But your mother-”

Pasha snarled. “We won’t discuss my mother. My order on that was clear.”

Ahman touched her shoulder after a moment. He was probably the only one who could have without getting his claws torn off.

“I need to track him,” her consort said.

“I’ll come with you.”

“No.”

Pasha turned, incredulous. “No? Do you forget who is-”

“Lord here?” he finished, voice dry. “How could I? But you are needed here, Pasha. You’re the only one who would recognize him were he to attack.”

She forced her teeth to stop grinding. “Fine.”

Ahman touched her cheek. “I’ll return shortly.”
