Beneath the Wolf Moon What tomorrow brings
“We don’t know yet,” Lucas replied. “But it reads like there was a plan to bring something out, to initiate a role. If they kept you ignorant, it’s because whatever you represent has power vested in it. Or dangerous enemies.”A slow, cold thought crept up my spine—dangerous enemies. I pictured faces from the pack, the politics Jaxon had murmured against, and Savanna’s hunger for position. The bedrock of my childhood, the list of banal humiliations, suddenly had depth I hadn’t known to suspect. My parents had not been distant because they were uninterested. They had been distant because they had been holding something taut, a secret woven into the fabric of our household to keep an outcome from unraveling.Without thinking, I opened the bottom drawer of the desk. It stuck at first, and then it yielded with a quiet complaint. Inside lay an old journal, its leather cracked and soft, and beneath it a small velvet box. My hands went cold. I recognized the locket on the table earlier—the sa
Beneath the Wolf Moon Night paper trails
The darkness has a way of sharpening everything. Sounds that fade into the background during the day—the hum of the refrigerator, the creak of the porch swing—turn into signals and alarms at night. Tonight, the house was filled with quiet noises, soft and steady, and I learned each one like a ship learns the seams of its hull. My heart acted as a drum, keeping me steady as I waited in the shadowy hallway for the others to arrive.Jaxon was the first to slip through the side gate. He moved into the yard as silently as if the forest had taken human form. Lucas came next, a slow silhouette, calm and efficient. Ethan arrived last—not a shadow but a sudden, sincere presence at the end of the path. He wore a look that said he was trying to be braver than he felt, which tightened my chest in a way that had nothing to do with fear.We paused at the base of the stairs, a quartet of uneven breaths in the dark. Jaxon’s hand found mine for a moment—not a lover’s touch, even if the world would have

“Which is precisely why they want Savanna in your bed and Avery out of the story,” Lucas said, closing the laptop with a decisive click. “Anchors don’t disappear because they’re weak. They disappear because they are too powerful in a way that terrifies people who crave straight lines.”The room held us in a silence that wasn’t empty. I could feel the shape of my life shifting, not collapsing but opening, a lock clicking in a door I had long assumed was painted on brick. I thought of Savanna’s eyes when she’d whispered threats in the hallway, of my mother’s mouth tightening when I entered a room, and of my father’s voice clipped and dismissive as if crisp syllables could make me smaller. All their certainty about what I could not be. All their fear about what I might.“Take it off,” I said, lifting the bracelet between my finger and thumb. My voice did not shake. “I want to know what I am without someone else’s muffle.”Jaxon stepped closer, and for a moment I thought he would argue, not
Beneath the Wolf Moon The anchor under moonlight
The morning stretched thin and pale across my bedroom wall, a shawl of light sliding over papers and photographs that had not moved since last night. I sat cross-legged on the rug with the satchel open beside me, my fingers tracing the edges of the copied pages like a pilgrim skimming the carved names of saints. The words I had read—Halcyon Accord, held in trust, custodial lineage—kept rearranging themselves in my mind, not changing meaning exactly but revealing new hinges, new trapdoors. It was almost as if the documents were not merely telling me something; they were testing how much I could bear to understand at once.A soft knock touched the window behind my curtains. The sound was familiar now, an intimate rhythm that skipped once, then twice. I crossed the room and lifted the sash, letting the cool air fold around me before Jaxon’s shadow filled the opening. He swung in with practiced quiet, shoulders passing my frame by inches. For a moment we just stood there, the silence betw
Beneath the Wolf Moon The Halcyon Secrets
The dawn was hesitant that morning, the sun breaking through the clouds with a softness that didn’t match the tension coiling in my chest. I sat on the edge of my bed, the folders and photographs from last night spread across the floor like a silent map of my family’s hidden truths. Each paper felt heavier than the last, weighted with secrets I had only begun to understand. The images, signatures, and annotations hinted at things far bigger than anything I had imagined, and yet the knot in my stomach told me that I couldn’t turn back now.Jaxon and Lucas arrived shortly after breakfast, their steps deliberate but quiet on the gravel outside my window. I could hear the faint crunch of sneakers against pebbles and the soft sigh of a car door closing. My pulse quickened—not from fear this time, but from the certainty that the day ahead would push me further than I had ever gone before.“Ready?” Jaxon’s voice was low, smooth, and threaded with that intensity that made my insides coil. His d
Beneath the Wolf Moon Threats of truth
The tension in the basement didn’t break when the footsteps paused above us; instead, it seemed to coil tighter, winding around my chest and shoulders in a way that made my skin prickle and my heart hammer against ribs I wasn’t sure could contain it. Jaxon’s hand on my wrist was firm but quiet, his presence an unspoken shield. Lucas remained in the shadows, ready to act, his eyes scanning the stairwell, body alert like a panther waiting for the slightest flicker of movement. Ethan hovered near the top of the stairs, torn between the fear of being caught and the impulse to protect me.“Mom?” My voice broke the silence, sharp but careful, a thread of control holding it from shattering completely. I knew the sound of it would carry up the stairs and would reach ears that had long practiced not listening to me. The soft click of a door handle. Then a pause.“Ethan?” My mother’s voice, deliberately casual, even cheerful. “Why are you down there? And Avery—what are you doing out of bed?” Her
