CHAPTER 107: THE DISCOVERY

I sat with it for one hour before I told anyone.

That was not long, measured against twenty-six days of Soren being gone, or five years of rebuilding from nothing, or a childhood of being the pack's invisible omega. But it was the hour I needed—sitting in the window seat of my room with the morning light coming sideways through the glass, processing the thing Nyx had confirmed with the quiet precision of someone who had checked three times before saying it aloud.

Pregnant.

  • Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna   CHAPTER 109: WHAT LEADERS DO

    Darius's POVThe council met on the first day of what everyone was calling the final week, though no one said that aloud because saying it aloud felt like tempting something.Thorne sat across from me at the table with the manner of a man who has made a decision about how this was going to go and was now implementing it without further deliberation. He'd been doing this for three weeks—arriving at councils with positions already formed, arguing them efficiently, then shifting course when presented with better information without making a performance of the shift. It was, I was discovering, considerably more useful than the performance.The council chamber had twelve seats. We were using seven. The remaining five had belonged to Thorne's original faction—three of whom had eventually aligned with the new structure, two of whom had left the territory with their families the week after the Bloodletter attack and had not returned. The empty seats were a fact we worked around."Border patro

  • Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna   CHAPTER 108:BLOOD AND LIGHT

    Sera's POVThe records room smelled like old paper and burnt candle wax and the particular sharp-clean scent of magic being worked carefully.I'd spent nine days in it.Nine days with Nyx's three centuries of compiled knowledge and my own research from the Archives and Caelum's precise additions—he had come to the door on the third day and stood in it with the manner of someone deciding something, and then come inside and sat down and begun answering questions I hadn't known to ask yet. He knew the ritual's original structure better than anyone living outside Malachar, and what he described was not the corrupted version of a thing built by grief. It was elegant. It was precise. It was, underneath the centuries of elaboration Malachar had added in desperation, actually quite simple.The anchor wanted to sever.That was the thing Nyx and I kept returning to, across nine days of careful reconstruction.Malachar had built his ritual assuming the anchor would resist—assuming the Primordial

  • Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna   CHAPTER 107: THE DISCOVERY

    I sat with it for one hour before I told anyone.That was not long, measured against twenty-six days of Soren being gone, or five years of rebuilding from nothing, or a childhood of being the pack's invisible omega. But it was the hour I needed—sitting in the window seat of my room with the morning light coming sideways through the glass, processing the thing Nyx had confirmed with the quiet precision of someone who had checked three times before saying it aloud.Pregnant.Not the word that undid me. The arithmetic that followed it.A child born into this—into a pack that had chosen us, a father who was learning his son's rhythms and doing it with the kind of patience that earned something, a fortress forty miles north that we were about to negotiate peace with, a world that was wider and more complicated and more real than the one I'd planned for in the Forbidden Zone.I sat with all of it.Then I thought about my mother. Lyra, who had lived thirty years as a wolfless omega and never

  • 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

    Rhiannon's POV"Mama, why is everyone shouting?"Soren sat on my bedroll, his wooden sword clutched in both hands. His gray-amber eyes were wide, frightened. Outside the tent, I could hear raised voices—pack members arguing, choosing sides, the chaos Darius had unleashed spreading like wildfire."I
