    Summary

    “Why do they throw flowers?”

    “They’re well-wishes,” Phainon answers. “Crocuses are for new beginnings, cyclamen are for love, colchicum for fidelity. They’re blessing the marriage.”

    Mydei’s hand shifts a little lower, warm fingers circling Phainon’s wrist. “Your traditions are terribly sentimental.”

    “Romantic,” Phainon corrects. “Just call them romantic.”

    To save his people, Mydei strikes a deal. Aid in exchange for two things: the coreflame of Strife and his hand in marriage.

    Summary

    Phainon blinked.

    “Uh… a kitty?” he said, kneeling down in the grass.

    And the beast spoke.

    “I am not a cat!” the cat said sharply, sitting up just enough to glare at him.

    Phainon stared.

    “A… talking cat?” he said, incredulously. He leaned a little closer, now able to see the injury more clearly. Blood coated one of the creature’s legs.

    “I said I am not a cat,” the creature repeated, its fur bristling irritably.

    “You’re adorable,” Phainon remarked, leaning a little closer. “Are you injured?”

    After being taken from the humble life he knew and thrust into the imperial palace as a forgotten prince, Phainon Khaslana expects only loneliness, etiquette lessons, and a long list of rules he barely understands. What he does not expect is a foul-tempered talking beast hiding in the palace gardens—one that insists it is definitely not a cat.

    Summary

    "How long?" Mydei asks. "Deliverer. How long?"

    Now, Phainon's head snaps up. His lip curls, baring his teeth. "How long what?" he snarls. "How long since my rut started? How long will it last? Just what are you trying to ask, Mydeimos? How long since I've imprinted on you like some kind of—"

    "Are you ashamed of it, then?" Mydei cuts him off, struggling to keep his scent from swelling. "Do you find your affections unnatural or repulsive? Or have I not done enough to prove myself to you as a worthy mate?"

    Phainon goes into an early rut on a mission. Some things come to light. Mydei takes care of him.
