Winning His

Ralph Henry Barbour

Sinopse

“All together! Cheer on cheer!
Now we’re charging down the field!
See how Broadwood pales with fear,
Knowing we will never yield!
Wave on high your banner blue,
Cheer for comrades staunch and true;
We are here to die or do,
Fighting for old Yardley!”
They sang it at the top of their voices as they came down the hill, arm in arm, and crossed the meadow toward the village. There was no one to hear, and they wouldn’t have cared if there had been. Tom Dyer sang the bass, Alf Loring the tenor and Dan Vinton whatever was most convenient, since about the best he could do in a musical way was to make a noise. It was a glorious morning, in the middle of October, and there was a frosty nip in the air that made one want to sing or dance, and as they were in a hurry and dancing would have delayed them, they sang.

Taking My Reincarnation One Step...

KAYA

Even as a working adult, Sarasa Ichinokura suffers from an unshakable fatigue that’s plagued her since childhood. She goes to bed one night, exhausted from her office job, and encounters a goddess(?) who informs her that her perpetual lack of energy is actually due to a deficit of “mana.” Then, without any further explanation or time to process what’s happening to her, Sarasa is thrust into a fantasy world!
 
She awakens in the body of a ten-year-old girl in a strange land filled with flying beasts and oversized wolves. She accordingly prepares for the worst, but a monster hunter named Nelly takes her in. The hitch is...now that Sarasa finally has the energy to do everything she wants to, being cooped up in a cabin is just no fun! She seeks to stand on her own in this scary new world—and that’s going to mean learning magic.
 
It may be slow going, but Sarasa knows what to do—the best way to take her reincarnation is one step at a time!

Rejected alpha’s luna queen

Jesse Shackelford

They called her “healer’s whelp.” Low-rank. Tainted. Unfit to stand near a crown.But on the night of the Moon-Moot, Eira Thorne feels the mate-bond snap into place like a brand—hot, undeniable, sacred under old law. For one heartbeat, she thinks the pack will finally be forced to see her.Then Rurik Blackthorne looks her dead in the eye and forsakes her.He names Lady Isolde Ashriver as his Luna-to-be. He casts Eira beyond the Briarline with no shelter, no mercy, and a bond-scar that still pulls at her ribs like a chain.Exile should mean distance.Instead, it wakes something ancient.A pale crescent blooms on Eira’s wrist—quiet as a bruise, sharp as a promise—and suddenly the shadows beyond the border aren’t random. They’re waiting. Hunting. Closing in for what her blood might be worth.With danger snapping at her heels and truth buried under pack politics, Eira has only one way forward: stop begging to be chosen… and start taking back what was stolen.Because if she really is a queen, they don’t get to throw her away.
