Beneath the cursed moon:The Alpha Rejected Mate Chapter 17:Tales of Secrets
LYRA'S POVI couldn't go back to sleep.. I lay back down and pulled the blanket up and stared at the ceiling and told myself very firmly that it was the middle of the night and I needed rest and that visions shown by ancient inner wolves did not have to be processed immediately at two in the morning.Selene said nothing.Which was almost worse than when she talked.I gave up after twenty minutes and sat up and swung my legs over the side of the bed and just sat there in the dark for a moment. The fire had burned down to almost nothing. The room was cool and quiet and the Dawnridge river was still moving outside my window, steady and indifferent the way rivers always were.I padded across to the window and stood there looking out.The pack grounds were quiet below. A few warriors on rotation, their breath clouding in the cold night air. Torches burning at the gate. Everything was calm and ordered and completely unaware that the girl in the guest room upstairs had just watched her entir
Beneath the cursed moon:The Alpha Rejected Mate Chapter 17:Dreams and illusion
After a while I fell asleep.I didn't plan to. One moment I was lying there staring at the ceiling of the most beautiful room I had ever slept in, listening to the Dawnridge river moving quietly outside my window, and the next moment I was gone.But it wasn't the kind of sleep that rests youSelene pulled me in before I even realised what was happening. I felt her the way I always did when she was doing something intentional a gentle pressure behind my eyes, a warmth that spread through my chest, and then the room disappeared entirely.I knew it was her because of the way everything felt too sharp to be a dream. Too real. The cold air biting at my skin. The smell of wet earth and silver birch trees. And two people standing in the middle of it.I couldn't get a clear vision of who was that until I walked up closer and saw it was my motherShe looked young. Younger than any version of her I had ever known. Her dark hair was loose around her shoulders and her hands were clasped in front

My face was still the temperature of a small star.Different from the bath or the fire.The kind of warmth that sits in your chest and stays.I put the robe on.Kael turned to look at the window while I did. Giving me his back. Which was considerate. And also meant I was looking at his back which was not nothing and I was going to stop looking at it immediately.I tied the robe tight on my body "You can turn around," I said.He did.He looked at me for a moment. Something in his expression that was still working to settle. Then he gestured at the chair by the fire."Sit," he said. "There are things we need to talk about.""Is that how you always do it?" I said. "Just tell people to sit. Like it never occurs to you that they might not."Something in his eyes. Almost a smile."Does it occur to you not to?" he said.I sat down.He pulled the desk chair across and sat facing me and the fire burned between us and the world outside the window was turning dark, and we talked. About Damien.

The room they gave me was nothing like anything I had ever had.I stood in the doorway for a full ten seconds before I could make myself step inside.It was not over the top or dripping in luxury the way I imagined rich people's houses looked. It was just beautiful. A wide bed with dark linen and more pillows than I had owned in my entire life combined. A stone fireplace is already burning low and warm. A window that looked out over the river the silver Dawnridge river ,A writing desk. A chair by the fire. Shelves with books that had actually been read, And a bathroom.I was so excited I sat on the edge of the bed.Pressed my hand flat against the dark linen.*Selene,* I said.*I know,* she said softly.I had never had a room like this. I had grown up in a two-room cottage with a curtain between my sleeping space and my mother's and a tin bath filled with water heated on the stove. I had never had a fire that was just for me. I had never had a window with a view that wasn't someone e
Beneath the cursed moon:The Alpha Rejected Mate Chapter 14: The Escape
After running for a while the forest was grey and cold and the silver light that had been everywhere last night was absent in the day, replaced by the flat autumn light that made the trees look like they were made of stone. My feet found the path without me choosing it muscle memory from years of walking this forest alone taking over when my lungs and my legs were too occupied to navigate consciously.I burst through a line of dense pine.And stopped.The eastern border.The line where Ironveil territory ended and the Ashwood became neutral ground before it crossed into Dawnridge land. Marked by a row of old stones half buried in the earth, covered in moss, older than anyone living.I stood at the stones and pressed my hand to the nearest tree and tried to breathe.Behind me the footsteps had stopped.Ironveil wolves did not cross the border without authorisation.I was safe. For now. *He will send an official order,* Selene said. *It will not take long. We cannot stay here.*"I know
Beneath the cursed moon:The Alpha Rejected Mate Chapter 13:Run !!
LYRA'S POVI never made it to the Ashwood.I had woken up that morning with one thing on my mind. Noon. Eastern Ashwood. Kael's voice saying it like it was already decided. I had dressed quickly, told my mother I was going for a walk, tucked my father's letter into the inside of my dress against my skin where it was warm and hidden and I had barely made it out of the cottage door before the two Ironveil warriors stepped into my path.Big,Broad, Faces I recognised from pack gatherings.Faces that had never once looked at me before today."Lyra Ashveil," the taller one said. Not a greeting. A confirmation. Like he was checking something off a list.I still went.*Selene,* I said.*I feel them,* she said. Quiet and alert. *They carry the Alpha's authority. This is an official summons Lyra.*"The Alpha requests your presence," the warrior said.Three words that should have been ordinary.That was not ordinary at all."For what purpose?" I said carefully.The warriors exchanged a look."Tha
