Blood Bound Luna CHAPTER FOURTY FIVE - HANGOVER
Selene woke up with a headache that felt like divine punishment. “Why,” she croaked to the ceiling, “did I drink that much?” “Because Kira kept refilling your glass,” Dorian’s voice answered from somewhere to her left. Selene’s eyes flew open. She was in her room…thank god but Dorian was sitting in the chair by the window, already dressed, looking far too put-together for someone who’d been at the same feast. “Did you sleep there?” she asked. “No. I left after you fell asleep and came back an hour ago.” “That’s… weirdly considerate?” “I’m weirdly considerate.” “You’re weirdly something.” She sat up slowly, her head protesting. “How are you not dying?” “Werewolf metabolism. Alcohol processes faster.” “That’s unfair.” “That’s biology.” She glared at him, and he smiled—that small, genuine smile that did annoying things to her cardiovascular system. “There’s water on the nightstand,” he said. “And bread. Thalia said—” He stopped. “One of the other healers said
Blood Bound Luna CHAPTER FOURTY FIVE - VICTORY FEAST
“I’m not wearing that.” “You’re wearing it.” “It has SLEEVES. Puffy sleeves. I look like a deranged pastry.” “You look like a Luna.” Selene glared at Kira, who was holding up a dress that looked like it had been designed by someone who’d never actually seen a human woman before. “There are other dresses,” Selene said desperately. “Normal dresses. Dresses that don’t make me look like I’m attending a royal wedding in 1605.” “Those are for normal occasions. This—” Kira gestured grandly. “—is a VICTORY FEAST.. It’s very important. You have to look the part.” “The part of what? A chandelier?” “The part of the woman who would help break a five-hundred-year-old curse, survived a battle, and is now bonded to the Alpha. People are expecting presentation.” “People can lower their expectations.” “Selene.” “Kira.” They glared at each other. “Fine,” Kira said. “Compromise. You wear a nice dress…not this one—and I won’t tell everyone about the time you tripped over your
Blood Bound Luna CHAPTER FOURTY FOUR - NEW STRATEGY
Fenris’s Camp - Three Days After the Battle “YOU SAID IT WOULD WORK!” Fenris’s roar echoed through the camp, sending nearby rogues scrambling for cover. He stood in the center of his war tent, muscles tense, eyes blazing red, looking every inch the feral king he was accused of being. Ravenna, for her part, looked completely unbothered. She sat in a chair…his chair examining her nails like she hadn’t just cost him half his army and his best chance at taking the Veyrath fortress. “I said it should work,” she corrected. “There’s a difference.” “A DIFFERENCE?” Fenris slammed his fist on the table, shattering it. “I lost THREE HUNDRED wolves! Three hundred! Because your ‘should work’ plan FAILED!” “Your wolves were expendable.” “MY WOLVES WERE MY ARMY!” “And you have more. Stop being dramatic.” Ravenna finally looked up, her eyes shifting from black to deep purple…never a good sign. “The corruption spell was perfectly calibrated. The problem wasn’t my magic, it was thei
Blood Bound Luna CHAPTER FOURTY THREE - VICTORY TASTES LIKE BLOOD
The battle was absolute chaos. Selene hit the ground running literally and immediately almost died. A shadow wolf lunged from nowhere, all teeth and dark magic, and she barely dodged in time. Her new instincts kicked in faster reflexes, sharper senses and she twisted, grabbed a fallen blade, and drove it through the creature’s skull. It dissolved into black smoke. “OKAY!” she shouted to no one in particular. “I CAN DO THIS! I’M DOING THIS!” “STOP TALKING AND KEEP MOVING!” Kira appeared beside her, already covered in blood that definitely wasn’t hers. “East wall is breached! Rogues are flooding the courtyard!” They ran together, weaving through the chaos. Wolves fought everywhere—Veyrath pack against rogues, silver fur against red eyes, coordinated pack tactics against mindless violence. Dorian was in the center of it all, a force of nature in half-shift. He moved like death itself, every motion efficient and brutal. Rogues fell around him like wheat before a scythe.
Blood Bound Luna CHAPTER FOURTY TWO - GOING INTO WAR
Thalia wiped her eyes, trying to compose herself. “The curse binds an alpha to their mate. Forces them together, creates an unbreakable connection. Ravenna wants to replicate that. Imagine being able to bind wolves to your service…not through loyalty or choice, but through magic. They’d have no choice but to obey. She could build an army that couldn’t betray her, couldn’t leave, couldn’t even want to.” “That’s slavery,” Marcus said, disgusted. “That’s power.” Thalia’s voice was hollow. “And Ravenna will do anything to get it. Including-” She stopped. “Including what?” Selene pressed. “Including targeting the baby.” The tower went silent. “What baby?” Dorian asked, his voice dangerous. “The heir. Once Selene conceives…” Thalia looked at them both. “The curse transforms the mother during pregnancy, yes? Rewrites her DNA to accommodate carrying a werewolf child? Ravenna wants to study that process. Wants to understand how the curse alters human biology. If she can replica
Blood Bound Luna CHAPTER FOURTY ONE - THE BITTER TRUTH
“I never wanted anyone to die.” Thalia’s voice cracked. Her hands wouldn’t stop shaking. Dorian didn’t move. His breathing went weird too controlled, like he was manually operating his lungs because his body forgot how to do it automatically. Then his jaw clenched so hard Selene heard his teeth grind. “That’s your defense?” His voice came out quiet and flat. The kind of calm that made everyone in the room take a step back. “You betrayed us.” Each word got softer. Worse. “You betrayed me and your excuse is you didn’t want people to die?” Thalia jerked like he’d slapped her. Her breath came in these short, panicky gasps. “Let her speak.” Silas’s hand moved to his sword… smooth, easy, like he’d done it a thousand times. “I want to hear this.” The blade scraped against the sheath. Thalia’s legs gave out. She hit the floor hard, knees cracking against stone. The empty vial rolled from her hand, spinning across the floor until it bumped against Dorian’s boot and stop
