Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna CHAPTER 106: THE THIRD WEEK
Rhiannon's POVOn the twenty-first day after his return, Soren shifted to wolf pup in the training yard and ran for forty minutes without stopping.Not training. Just running—big looping circuits of the yard, occasionally veering into the grass beyond it, circling back, the pure physical joy of a child reclaiming his own body after three weeks of measured stillness. The yard was empty except for Marcus sitting on the fence with his good arm, timing it with the particular expression of a man who is performing casual observation very deliberately.I watched from the packhouse steps.Darius sat beside me. Neither of us spoke for a while."His form is better," Darius said eventually. "Even in wolf. Whatever Caelum's been showing him—""Don't tell him that. He'll want to do it more.""Would that be bad?"I considered. "Caelum is four hundred years old and fights like—" I stopped. "He fights like something that has had four centuries to remove everything unnecessary. Soren is five.""Four."
Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna CHAPTER 105: WHAT SOREN REMEMBERS
Rhiannon's POVHe told us in pieces.Not all at once—Moira had warned us about this, the way trauma surfaces in fragments, the way children work through difficult things sideways before they can approach them directly. We didn't push. We just made sure there was space—meal times, the walk to the forest, the hour before bed—where the fragments could arrive if they needed to.The first one came in the bath."He had a locket," Soren said, pouring water from a small cup into a larger one with the focus he brought to experiments."Who did?""The old one. Malachar." He watched the water transfer. "He wore it all the time. Even at night I think. He would hold it sometimes when he thought no one was watching." He looked up at me. "What was in it?""A picture of someone he loved. Someone he lost."Soren poured the water back. "Like how you keep Nana Lyra's bracelet even though she's gone?"My mother's bracelet, silver and worn, which I'd found among Nyx's things years ago and never put down. "
Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna CHAPTER 104: SOREN'S RETURN
Rhiannon's POVThe nightmares stopped on the fourteenth day after his return.Not gradually—there was a last one, smaller than the others, and then nothing. He slept through. And the morning after, he came to breakfast with the particular energy of a child who has been carrying something heavy and has set it down and can feel the absence of the weight.He ate four honey cakes."I want to go outside the packhouse," he said, with the air of someone raising a negotiating position they'd been preparing for some time."Where outside?""The forest." He looked at me. "The edge. Not far. Just to—" He stopped. Tried again. "Just to check it's still there."I understood this precisely. The need to confirm that the world you remembered existed in the same configuration. That the terrible interlude had been the exception and not the revision."After breakfast," I said.His face.We went after breakfast—Soren and me and Marcus at a respectful distance, his shoulder still in a partial splint but hi
Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna CHAPTER 103: THE MEETING
Rhiannon's POVThe forest clearing was an hour's ride north of Crescent Moon and had been chosen by Malachar's letter as neutral ground—equidistant from his territory and ours, old trees, no pack boundaries.I came alone.Darius had not slept the night before the meeting. He'd said nothing about it and I'd said nothing about his silence, but I'd felt him through the bond—the particular wakefulness of a person lying in the dark doing arithmetic about risk that doesn't have clean answers.In the morning he'd walked me to the forest border and said: "If anything feels wrong—""I'll leave.""The moment anything—""Darius."He'd looked at me. At the bond between us, steady and present and carrying everything it now carried."Come back," he said."Always."I rode alone into the morning forest and found the clearing and dismounted and waited.Malachar came from between two trees that were old enough to have been saplings when he was born, which was a thought I declined to sit with too long.
Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna CHAPTER 102: CAELUM
Rhiannon's POVHe took the east wing room and caused almost no disruption.This, more than anything, unsettled the pack.They'd braced for something—a vampire in permanent residence required a revision of several assumptions the pack had held since childhood about what permanent residence meant. They'd expected disturbance. Presence. The wrongness that very old vampires carried with them like weather.Caelum was simply there.He did not move through the packhouse so much as materialise in different locations—appearing in doorways, present at mealtimes without eating, standing at windows. He required nothing and asked for less. When wolves entered rooms he was already in, they startled, settled, and then forgot about him with the suspicious ease of creatures whose instincts had filed him under known quantity, no immediate threat and moved on.Soren, on the other hand, was fascinated.I found them on the second day in the library—Caelum at the window, Soren at the table with a book he w
Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna CHAPTER 101: THE MESSENGER RETURNS
Rhiannon's POVWe told Soren at breakfast.He was eating eggs with the focused intensity he brought to everything, the wooden sword leaning against his chair because he'd started carrying it everywhere again and no one had the heart to stop him, when I said: "You're going to be a big brother."He put down his fork.Looked at me. Looked at Darius. Looked at my stomach with the specific expression of a child performing urgent internal calculations about what this meant for the existing household structure."When?" he asked."A while yet.""How long is a while?""Months."More calculation. "Will it be able to fight?""Eventually.""Will I have to teach it?""Probably some things."He picked his fork back up. "Can it be a dog instead?" he asked, and went back to his eggs.Darius made a sound I'd only heard from him three times and always in moments he wasn't trying to control."No," I said."I just think a dog would be—""No, Soren.""Okay." A pause. Then, more quietly, without looking up
Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna CHAPTER 17: THE EARLY MONTHS
Rhiannon's POVThe first week, I didn't sleep.Every time I closed my eyes, panic seized me. What if Soren stopped breathing? What if something went wrong?I checked him constantly—pressed my hand to his tiny chest, watched his face in lamplight for any sign of distress."You need to rest," Nyx sai

Rhiannon's POVThe rogues found me on a morning when the mist hung thick between the trees.I was hunting—practicing the stalking techniques Nyx had been teaching me. Panther form, moving silent through the underbrush, tracking a rabbit.Then the wind shifted.Wolf. Multiple wolves. And their scent

The Female Bloodletter's POVThe smoke form was legend. Myth. A theoretical transformation that maybe three Chimeras in recorded history had achieved, and all of them had been ancient when they'd done it. Centuries old. Masters of their power.The Phantom was thirty at most. She shouldn't have acce

Rhiannon's POVThen Darius was there, massive black wolf form slamming into the vampire from the side and driving him away from me.For three seconds, we stood back to back in the carnage—him in wolf form, me with blade raised, both of us bleeding and broken and still fighting.His flank pressed ag
