BENEATH THE CRIMSON MOON Chapter Fifty Two - Alone
Troy was through the window before the glass finished settling.Marcus caught him with both hands, full grip, the kind that had stopped bigger threats before. Troy pulled hard. Marcus held firm. For three full seconds it was just that. Two men in a broken window with the dark countryside stretching out and Tyra somewhere in that dark getting further away with every heartbeat."You cannot track them in this state" Marcus said."I have to fi..." Troy stopped pulling.Not because Marcus was right. Because his legs had just delivered a message his pride had been fighting for the past hour.He stepped back.Sat in the chair she had occupied minutes earlier. Completely exhausted . His healing slower than before.He pressed both palms flat against his knees and felt the cold in them. The cloth on his arm was already soaked dark in blood. The grey under his skin showed clearly now in the low light.The room held its breath.The woman moved to the wall, lifted a loose stone, and pulled out a w
BENEATH THE CRIMSON MOON Chapter Fifty One — Taken
The wolves hit them half a mile from the bridge.Eight of them coming out of the scrub from both sides simultaneously and the road gave them nowhere to go so they did not try to go anywhere. Aldrian shifted before the first wolf reached them. Troy shifted two seconds behind him and the sound of both shifts cracking through the open countryside was the only warning the wolves got before the road became something else entirely.Tyra pushed her palms outward.Gold light hit the nearest wolf and it went sideways into the scrub and did not come back out.Marcus and Rena on her left taking two more between them. Clark pulling her right as a wolf came low at her knees and she dropped her elbow into its back mid stride and felt the burst move through that contact and the wolf went down hard.Four wolves left.Then three.Then one.It looked at Aldrian standing over the last fallen wolf and made the calculation and turned back into the scrub and was gone.Silence.The road. The flat countrysid
BENEATH THE CRIMSON MOON Chapter Fifty - Despite Everything
They walked until the road curved around a low hill and opened onto a stone bridge crossing a narrow fast river. Tyra stopped at the near end. Behind her Troy stopped too. Three steps. Always three steps now.The rest of the group stayed back, giving them space. The river churned violently below. Tyra stared at the rushing water, feeling her power strain toward him even at this distance, hungry and relentless.She turned.Troy stood in the early morning light, hands in his pockets, gold eyes locked on her. Exhaustion lined his face but he held steady, as if nothing could make him leave.She closed the three steps and stopped right in front of him. He didn’t move back."I hate it," she said, voice low and fierce.He held her gaze."I hate that I can’t turn it off," she said. "I’ve tried since the print works. Since Aldrian called it poison and I saw what it was doing to your hands." Her voice wavered. "No matter how hard I fight, the power keeps reaching for you. I hate myself for it e
BENEATH THE CRIMSON MOON Chapter Forty Nine — Before She Goes
Troy rode hard, horse lathered beneath him. He had split from the others an hour earlier, ignoring their calls. The cold in his hands had worked into his arms, but he gripped the reins tighter and pushed on. Tyra's trail pulled him north like a hook in his chest. He would not let her disappear into Grimwall without him.He spotted them on the empty road. Tyra walked fast, shoulders tight. Aldrian kept pace beside her. Troy swung down and closed the distance at a run.She heard him before she saw him.She kept walking.Aldrian kept pace beside her and said nothing because he had seventeen years of knowing when silence was the right thing and this was one of those times.Troy came alongside her.Not grabbing her. Not stepping in front of her. Just there. Same pace. Same direction. Like he had always been heading north and this was simply where their paths had converged again.Aldrian glanced between them once.Then he moved ahead without a word and the road swallowed him and it was just
BENEATH THE CRIMSON MOON Chapter Forty Eight - The Leaving
She was up before the grey crept in. Coat buttoned tight, diary pressed against her ribs, boots laced. No hesitation. The safe house breathed softly around her, five bodies lost in exhausted sleep. She did not look at Troy. Six feet away, his face still carried the peace she had shattered with one kiss. She slipped out and closed the door with a soft final click that landed like a blade between them.Cold air slapped her cheeks. The empty road stretched north into danger and uncertainty. Grimwall waited that way, but so did answers she could not find while watching Troy die slowly because of her. She walked. Fast. Boots pounding the dirt, hands burning inside her pockets. She trapped the heat there, refusing to let it escape again.Ten minutes later the door opened behind her. Footsteps. Aldrian matched her pace without a word at first. The silence stretched until it felt unbearable."He will wake soon," he said. "Yes." "He will come after you." "Yes." "Then what?"Tyra's thro
BENEATH THE CRIMSON MOON Chapter Forty Seven - What the Kiss Cost
Troy was on the floor. Tyra had her hands on his face before the others could react. His skin carried a deep, unnatural chill that had been building long before tonight. The warmth in her palms surged toward him on instinct. His body pushed back hard. She yanked her hands away.Troy exhaled sharply the moment the contact broke. They stared at each other on the cold floor of the print works while the rest of the room stood frozen.Aldrian crouched beside Troy and pressed two fingers to his wrist, counting beats in silence. Clark remained by the wall. Marcus and Rena hadn’t shifted from their positions. No one spoke.Aldrian sat back on his heels. His face showed no surprise, and that quiet acceptance cut deeper than anything else.“Tell me,” Tyra said.Aldrian glanced at her hands, then at the space between her and Troy. “Your blood. When a hybrid’s power fully surfaces, it turns incompatible with wolf physiology under sustained contact. It builds slowly. Cold hands. Fatigue. Then coll
