The Crimson Winter Series

"Aika..." Archer said gently, "who poisoned you? Your baba?"


A bitter taste flooded my mouth, as real as it had been fourteen years ago, and I shook my head violently, trying to smear those memories from my head forever. 


But I had to say it. I had to find out the truth.


"My ama. My mom," I finally admitted, my voice cut from shards of stone. I'd never told anyone that. Ever. Not even Jade. With the truth out there in the open, I felt horribly naked, and Archer and Grady's gazes dug deep into my flesh like fresh bruises. I wanted to snatch it back, claim it was someone else, not my own mother, but a stranger who wasn't supposed to love me. But I didn't.


"Our eyes..." Grady cleared his throat of some of its roughness. "Our eyes didn't used to go red when we shifted before we were poisoned."


"Yeah..." Archer said. "Must've been a side effect. So the fact that we were all poisoned, our shifter pack and a human... It connected us. Offered eyes to the one who can't see."
