AFTER DIVORCE, I BECAME A LUNA Forty-One Names and a Front Porch
Chapter 110:"Forty-one!" Jo shouted. "Josie! Hess found them all! Every single name!"She came running across the courtyard with a big sheet of paper in her fist, her hair sticking up in six directions. Hope ran behind her, tripping over her own paws, barking happily. It was a bright autumn morning, three weeks after the Heartdrum broke. The sky was a deep, clean blue. And for the first time since I had come to Hallow Fortress, the east gate was not crooked.Brandt had fixed it. Torin had helped. Iron and Blood had carved a new frame out of an old oak. It stood wide open, with fresh hinges, and a thousand silver pups tumbled in and out of it all day, chasing butterflies."Read it to me," I said.Jo cleared her throat. "Anna. Bree. Calla. Dessa. Edda. Fenna..." She read all forty-one, slowly, one after another, and her voice got softer with each one. By the end, she was almost whispering. "Hess says that he used the old Court ledgers. The ones Selene hid in the Hall. Every Luna who ev
AFTER DIVORCE, I BECAME A LUNA The First Pup Comes Home
Chapter 109:"Get away from my daughter!" Dad roared.He had been thrown clear across the roof. Now he scrambled up, bleeding from the lip, and charged back at the drum. But Marrow did not even look at him. He just raised his fists and slammed them down again.BOOM.The beat knocked Dad flat. It knocked Candice off her feet. It knocked me off the dragon's neck, and I slid down Vesper's side and landed hard on the cold glass, with all the wind knocked out of me."It is not breaking!" Caelum screeched, circling overhead. "Josie, it is not breaking! His blood is in it!""I know!" I coughed. "I know!"BOOM.Marrow was laughing now. It was a high, cracked laugh. He stood on top of the great black drum with his white hair flying, and he looked like a man who had lost his mind a very long time ago and had only now noticed."You cannot stop me!" he cried. "I am the first! I am the oldest! The drum is my heart! If it breaks, I break! And I have been broken for nine hundred years, you stupid ch
AFTER DIVORCE, I BECAME A LUNA Riding Vesper
Chapter 108: Riding Vesper"Nine hundred and twelve steps," Candice panted. "That is what the map says. We are on step four hundred.""Do not tell me the number," Mom gasped. "It makes it worse.""Then I will tell you a different number. Zero. That is how many times I have wanted to quit.""Liar.""Mostly a liar."It was a silly thing to say on a stair that went straight up inside a mountain. But somehow it helped. We climbed in a tight line, with Dad in front and me at the back. The Sky Stair was a spiral of black glass with no handrail, and every step shook under our boots. Above us, deep in the stone, something huge was groaning."That is Vesper," I said. "She is in pain.""I can hear her too," Mom said quietly.At step eight hundred, we saw a gray light ahead. At step nine hundred, a cold wind hit my face. And at step nine hundred and twelve, we stepped out onto the roof of the world.It was a wide, flat ring of black glass, the very top of the mountain. Around it, the sky was tur
AFTER DIVORCE, I BECAME A LUNA The Coat That Stood Up
Chapter 107: The Coat That Stood Up"I owe you a hospital floor," Cole said.That is the last thing I heard before the spear hit. I did not even see him move. One second I was standing in the middle of the Hall of Seven Chairs, with a black spear coming straight for my heart. The next, a small grey man in a stained apron was standing in front of me with his arms spread wide.The spear went into his chest.It made a sound I will never forget. A soft, wet sound, like someone stepping on a wet leaf."No," I said. "No. No, no."Cole looked down. He seemed surprised. He put one hand on the black shaft, as if he was checking whether it was real. Then his knees folded, and he sat down on the glass floor, slowly, like a tired man at the end of a long day.I caught him before he fell. I do not remember moving. I only remember the weight of him in my arms, and the smell of cedar and sawdust, and the red spreading across his apron."Josie," he said. His voice was strangely calm. "Do not cry. You
AFTER DIVORCE, I BECAME A LUNA The Hall of Seven Chairs
Chapter 106: The Hall of Seven Chairs"Please, come in," Marrow said. "You look tired. Shall I ring for a chair?"Nobody laughed. The doors slammed shut behind us with a boom that rattled my teeth, and then we were alone in the Hall of Seven Chairs.It was the biggest room I had ever seen. The floor was black glass, polished like a lake at night. The ceiling was lost in shadow. Along the walls stood a thousand soldiers in black armor, still as statues, with red eyes burning in their helmets. And at the far end, on a high stage, sat seven chairs of carved glass, each one taller than a man.Six were full. Five old, grey Elders sat stiffly in their seats, with glass pins on their collars and fear in their faces. I knew one of them. Dunmore, the bony man with the white beard, who had called Mom used. He would not look at her now.Marrow sat in the middle, relaxed, one leg crossed over the other. And on the far right stood a seventh chair, tall and empty and dark."Ah, Selene," Marrow said
AFTER DIVORCE, I BECAME A LUNA Wren in the Glass Room
Chapter 105: Wren in the Glass Room"Papa, do not touch the bars!" Wren cried. "They bite!"Ash stopped, with his hands an inch from the iron. He looked at me, white-faced. I leaned closer. The bars were faintly humming, and tiny black sparks crawled along them like ants."Spell-iron," Selene said. "Another Court trick. It burns anything that is not wearing the glass.""How do we open it?" Dad asked."With a key. Or with blood." She looked at the lock, a plain black plate in the wall. "A Seventh Chair blood. Gwen."Mom stepped forward. She pulled out the humming key and laid it against the plate. The plate shivered. Then, with a noise like a soft sigh, the bars all slid sideways into the wall.Wren flew out. She was tiny, and she wore a dirty grey nightgown, and she threw herself into Ash's arms so hard that he fell backward. He held her face in both hands. He was crying so much he could not speak."I am sorry," he kept saying. "I am sorry. I am sorry.""You are squishing me," said Wr
