    Summary

    "Palamedes Sextus is not impressed with you," says Gideon, and then, pointedly: "Alpha."
    "He can't know," says Harrow automatically. No one can. They all think she's a beta, calm and even-tempered and well-suited to her role as the Reverend Daughter of the Ninth. If they know, they'll send omegas to distract her. The Ninth cannot afford distractions.


    Gideon kicks open Harrow's bone cocoon and gets a face full of alpha pheromones. Shenanigans ensue.

    Summary

    “My parents are-- indisposed.” The child hardly faltered, though she barely made a speck of black cloak against the decrepit armored bulk of her retainer. “I act in their stead.”

     

    Abigail drew a deep breath. Dead, then. She was sure of it, but she would gain nothing by forcing the child to admit it. “I do not come as a pilgrim, Reverend Daughter. I come to seek the aid of the Ninth House. Will you help me?”


    At the behest of the very young newly-minted Master Warden, Lady Abigail Pent arrives on Drearburh to ask the Reverend Mother and Father for help. Instead, she finds two girls in desperate need of parents.

    They won’t let her help, but the young Reverend Daughter is willing to bargain.

    Summary

    Harrow took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said quietly, almost as if she was afraid of the words leaving her mouth, "Will you kiss me again?"

    Gideon blinked. She must have hallucinated, or maybe she actually had fallen asleep already and was now dreaming. But Harrow didn't open her eyes, and looked rather like she wanted to crawl into a hole and die.

    Gideon propped herself up on her elbows and said, "I'm sorry?"

    "Earlier, in the pool..." Harrow paused and took another deep breath. "You kissed me. On the nose. I think I would like you to kiss me again. If you want to."

    "On the nose?"

    "The nose, or...anywhere else you might like to?"

    "Is this a trap?"

     

    (It is not a trap)
