Bound by blood and the moonlight Chapter Eighty-Three — The Name That Cut
Amelia learned the truth from a hesitation.Not from a scream.Not from a rupture in the pattern.From a pause where trust should have been automatic.She felt it while sitting on the stone steps near the inner courtyard, late afternoon sunlight warming the back of her neck. The shared convergence was calm—active, alive, carrying the gentle hum of people learning how to hold one another without collapsing.And then one thread… stalled.It didn’t pull away.It didn’t snap.It hesitated.Amelia’s breath caught as she followed it.The connection belonged to someone she had let close—not through power, not through the bond she shared with her mates, but through conversation. Through honesty. Through shared memory.Stella.The name landed softly and still managed to hurt.Amelia stood slowly, the stone cool beneath her palms. Jason noticed immediately.“What is it

The counterstrike did not come for Amelia.That was the point.She felt it just after midday, while standing in the open gallery overlooking the lower grounds. The bond shifted—not sharply, not violently—but with a sudden, unmistakable pull, like a tide turning where it shouldn’t.Someone close.Not one of her mates.Someone new.Amelia’s breath caught as awareness snapped into focus.“It’s intentional,” she said, already moving.Jason was beside her instantly. “Who?”“Someone connected to the pattern but not anchored to us,” she replied. “They chose a peripheral node.”Dimitri’s voice was grim. “They’re testing whether you’ll intervene personally.”Mateo didn’t ask the obvious question. He already knew the answer.Amelia closed her eyes and found the thread.A young man this time—early twenties, recently awakened, emotionally raw but earnest. He had felt the ripple after her broadcast and reached outward, not for power, but for understanding. Others like him had gathered, quietly, ca
Bound by blood and the moonlight Chapter Eighty-One — The Weight of Witness
The first collapse was quiet.It didn’t announce itself with fire or screams or shattered ground. There was no spectacle, no obvious catastrophe that demanded immediate attention.It happened in the early hours of morning, in a city half-asleep, when the world was still thin and vulnerable.Amelia felt it like a breath being pulled the wrong way.She sat bolt upright in bed, heart racing, the shared convergence surging as if bracing against an unseen impact. Jason stirred instantly beside her, already awake enough to register the change.“Something broke,” he said.“Yes,” Amelia whispered. “Not here.”She slid out of bed and crossed to the window, pressing her palm to the cool glass. The sky was still dark, but far away—far beyond the mansion’s wards—she felt a sudden, cascading absence.Not death.Disconnection.Mateo’s presence brushed the bond seconds later, followed by Dimitri’s, both

Visibility changed everything.Amelia had known it would. She just hadn’t anticipated how quickly the world would begin testing the limits of what she’d revealed.The first sign wasn’t an attack. It wasn’t even hostile.It was wrongness.She felt it while standing at the edge of the eastern gardens just before dawn, the sky washed in pale gray and lavender. The air was still, birds quiet in that strange pause before morning fully claimed the world.The bond stirred.Not sharply. Not painfully.Uneasily.Amelia placed a hand over her chest, closing her eyes as she traced the familiar lattice of connection she shared with Jason, Mateo, and Dimitri. The shared convergence hummed—steady, warm, resilient.And then she felt it.A distortion brushing the outer edge of the pattern.Not pulling.Not pushing.Imitating.Her eyes snapped open.“Someone’s w
Bound by blood and the moonlight Chapter Seventy-Nine — Witnesses in the Dark
Caelen returned at dusk.This time, he did not wait for Amelia to notice him.He stood openly at the edge of the garden, silver hair unbound, gaze intent and unmistakably focused.“You adapted,” he said.Amelia approached calmly. “I learned.”He inclined his head. “You redistributed convergence.”“Yes,” she replied. “They targeted my bonds. I made them shared.”Caelen’s expression shifted—subtle, but unmistakable.“You are accelerating,” he said. “Faster than anticipated.”“That sounds like concern,” Jason muttered.“It is,” Caelen replied evenly. “But not for the reason you think.”Mateo crossed his arms. “Enlighten us.”Caelen’s gaze returned to Amelia. “The moment convergence ceases to be singular, it ceases to be containable.”Amelia felt a steady certainty settle in her chest. “Good.”The word hung in the air.“You are no longer merely a fu
Bound by blood and the moonlight Chapter Seventy-Eight — The Cost of Holding
Sleep abandoned Amelia that night.She lay awake, staring at the ceiling as the bond hummed softly—present, intact, but no longer effortless. Holding equilibrium required intention now. Awareness.Choice.She rose quietly and slipped out onto the balcony, cool air wrapping around her like a second skin. The moon was high, distant and watchful.“Still awake,” Dimitri said from the shadows.She didn’t startle. “You too.”He joined her at the railing, gaze fixed on the horizon. “The rivals are patient. That makes them dangerous.”“They want me to overcorrect,” Amelia said. “To fortify the bonds so tightly that they become rigid.”“And rigid things break,” Dimitri finished.She nodded. “They’re betting on emotional attachment becoming a liability.”He studied her carefully. “Is it?”The question wasn’t accusatory.It was honest.Amelia closed her eyes briefly.
