City of Two Moons The Sond of Silence
Chapter 30: The Sound of SilencePOV: Kael DravenThe basement corridor smelled of damp earth and my own anger. My guards stood against the wall waiting for me to bring the ceiling down."Leave us," I said.They were gone before the echo settled.Just the two of us now. Me and the woman who wore my Luna's face and carried something inside her that had no name I recognized."You think you've won something," I said, closing the distance between us. Her scent hit me as I got close. Not the lavender submission I had marked. Something sharper. Resilient. Foreign. "Finding a supply handler does not excuse the fact that you moved through this palace alone after a direct command. You undermined my authority and risked your life to do it."She stood with her head tilted slightly, watching me the way you watch something that hasn't decided what it's going to do yet."I found the person who tried to kill me," she said. Her voice was level and unhurried. "That seems like a reasonable use of an ev
City of Two Moons The Breaking Point
Chapter 29: The Breaking PointPOV: Lina HaleI sat in my room for exactly ten minutes after Kael stormed out, staring at the closed door.Ten minutes was enough time for the Alpha King energy to settle and for my brain to make the obvious point. Waiting for a chaperone was a perfect way to let the poisoner clean up behind themselves.I grabbed my shawl and went out through the service door.The lower levels smelled of damp stone and floor polish, but underneath it the Aconitum was still there. Faint and sickly sweet. I followed it down a narrow staircase to the supply basement and stopped at a door that hadn't latched properly.Inside, hunched over a pile of crates, was a young Omega. Finn. Red eyes, tight jaw, the look of someone who had been carrying fear for longer than one bad day.I kept my voice the way I used to keep it on Friday nights when a nineteen year old had just dropped a full tray and was waiting for the yelling to start."Hey there," I said.He spun around and looked
City of Two Moons The Unbroken Command
Chapter 28: The Unbroken CommandPOV: Kael DravenRiven didn't knock. He came into the war room with his posture tight and the smell of Aconitum on his tunic and set a small sealed jar on the stone table between us."Someone tried to poison Luna," he said. "Monkshood derivative. Added to the broth after it left the kitchen."The air left the room.My wolf slammed forward against my ribs with a force that was almost physical. A sound started in my chest, low and vibrating, not entirely human, rolling through the room and into the stone under our feet.Someone had walked through my walls, past my guards, past every protocol I had built, and put a killing agent into my Luna's dinner."Find them," I said. My voice had dropped to something barely recognizable. "Take the palace apart if you have to. When you find whoever did this there will be no trial."I didn't wait for his response.I moved through the corridors fast, my boots loud on the stone, the rage running white and clean through m
City of Two Moons The Spy Novel Reject
Chapter 27: The Spy Novel Reject POV: Lina Hale The Eastern Library was the kind of place that dust had claimed permanently and nobody had contested the ownership. Tucked behind three different tapestries, smelling like old paper and abandonment. Perfect for a meeting nobody was supposed to know about. I pushed open the heavy oak door and stepped inside. Riven was already there, standing in the shadow of a tall bookshelf, looking like a man who had never relaxed a single muscle in his life. "You're early," he said, eyes moving across the room before settling on me. "You're brooding," I said, walking over and setting the small jar on the table between us. "We make a very cohesive pair." He didn't acknowledge that. He picked up the jar and examined it with the focused attention of someone who already knew what he was looking at. "The kitchen staff are clean," I said, skipping ahead. "Mira runs a tight operation. The tray went straight from the kitchen to a service cart near the
City of Two Moons The Weight of The Crown
Chapter 26: The Weight of the CrownPOV: Riven AshfordI didn't need to see her face. The scent reached me first. Aconitum, sharp and unmistakable, clinging to her robes as she moved through the service corridor ahead of me.I tracked her silently, my pulse running hot, until I came around the corner and found her standing at a service cart with a small silk wrapped bundle in her hands."Give that to me," I said.She didn't jump. She turned slowly, taking her time, and looked at me with an expression that was equal parts annoyed and assessing."Riven," she said. "You're lurking. Very ominous Beta energy."I didn't respond to that. I stepped forward and kept my eyes on the bundle. "The sample. Hand it over."She held my gaze for a moment, then gave it to me. I unwrapped the cloth and brought it close. The smell hit immediately. My wolf pushed hard against the inside of my chest and I held it back by a narrow margin."Where did this come from?" I said."My broth tonight," she said, lean
City of Two Moons The Unexpected Variable
Chapter 25: The Unexpected VariablePOV: Varis KadeThe hearth threw long amber light across the maps on my wall. My brandy sat untouched at my elbow. I waited.When the door clicked open I didn't turn. I knew those footsteps.Betty came in with her hands clasped tighter than usual, her posture as low as always."She did not eat it, My Lord," she said quietly.I picked up the brandy and took a slow sip.I had not expected her to eat it. That had never been the point. It was a probe. A simple test of baseline instincts. The Selene I had known would have consumed the broth without question, felt the familiar heaviness of her depression deepen, and passed into a more manageable state without ever connecting cause to effect. She had always been that kind of person. Things happened to her and she absorbed them."Her reaction?" I said. "Tears? A summons for the King? The healers?""None, My Lord." Betty's voice stayed low. "She made a small joke about the broth being cold. She sent me away.
