River

The sun had just risen over the eastern Citadel wall, casting thin golden light across the empty square. A light breeze filled River’s nose with Leralynn’s lilac scent, making their walk from the trainee dormitories to the practice arena an exercise in self-control. She was in uniform, the fitted black trousers clinging to her hips in a sensual way that the tailor had never intended, her wine-red tunic slightly too large and showing the tops of her full breasts through the open V-necked collar. She’d braided her hair on one side, the neatly twisted strands like gleaming fire in the sun.

Just looking at the girl made River hard—which was not conducive to the day’s plans. River tried to take shallow breaths, but it little helped. Leralynn’s scent washed over him again and again. Potent, pulsing—and drenched with Shade.

Jealousy was not an emotion a good quint commander indulged in. River knew that. Agreed with it. Which did nothing to stop his heart from clenching rebelliously at the thought of Shade bringing Leralynn pleasure last night.

River hadn’t brought a female pleasure in three hundred years; he wasn’t even sure he knew how anymore.

“How long until Klarissa puts an end to this freedom?” Coal asked, surveying the Citadel’s manicured grounds as if walking through a battlefield. It was early enough in the morning that most of the trainees and guests were still finding their way to breakfast, and only the occasional quint strode along the walkways. With each quint unique in both its needs and timing, the council issued specific training instructions for each group instead of hosting a one-size-fits-all curriculum. “I half expected to wake to a demand that we attend a lecture on Citadel power and law.”

“I do not know.” River clasped his hands behind his back, his face a careful mask of mild interest despite the blood in his veins screaming for Lera. In truth, River was surprised he could do it—walk beside her, talk, breathe. Perhaps it was something he could thank his bastard of a father for, training his body to control itself no matter its needs. To have a shred more self-possession than that damn wolf shifter.

Shade. As if the five of them didn’t have enough problems in the Citadel without a half-feral and possessive wolf threatening to take over a trained warrior’s common sense. A small growl escaped River’s throat, making Leralynn flinch. Bloody wonderful. He made himself swallow a second growl that was already rising in his chest. River would deal with Shade later, when River could be certain that it was his brain and not his cock that was restoring discipline.

A hand clamped onto River’s wrist a second before the back of his head connected with a nearby tree trunk. An iron fist blocked River’s return blow.

“If you can’t train the mortal today,” Coal said mildly, even as the dull thud of impact still echoed through River’s body, “this would be a good time to say so.”

River raised his chin, his voice calm despite his pounding pulse.
