Chapter 6: The Foreign Note

POV: Riven Ashford

The palace air was always heavy before a coronation. Tonigt, it felt like something pulled tight and ready to snap.

I walked toward the east wing, my boots steady against the stone. I had known Selene since she was five years old, a quiet, clumsy pup who hid behind her father every time Kael walked into a room. Protecting her had become part of the job, woven into what it meant to be Beta.

My wolf was restless. The river had taken her and given

  • City of Two Moons    The Silver Shroud

    Chapter 10: The Silver Shroud POV: Lina Hale The silk was cold and heavy against my skin. I stood on a low stone pedestal in the centre of my chambers while three women moved around me without making a sound. The dress was beautiful in the way that cages are sometimes beautiful. All silver thread and craftsmanship, built to turn me into something I wasn't. Lira, a middle-aged woman with sharp eyes and hands that smelled faintly of cedar and dye, was on her knees at my feet pinning the hem. Every time her knuckles brushed my ankle, I had to stop myself from pulling away. My skin was still registering every touch like a small shock. "A little to the left, My Luna," she said, voice muffled by the pins in her teeth. I shifted, keeping my shoulders back the way Mira had shown me. I let my expression go soft and a little lost. "Lira, I'm sorry. The fog makes even simple things feel heavy. I remember the dress matters, but the rest of it feels like a book with half the pages gone." Lir

  • City of Two Moons    The Transfer Equation

    Chapter 9: The Transfer Equation POV: Varis Kade The eastern corridor was cold stone and long shadows. I walked it the way I walked everything, measured, quiet, my boots barely making a sound. Silence is a tool. I have spent my life treating it like one. I had just come from Kael. The Alpha King is a formidable man, all iron and instinct, but I have never found mountains difficult to predict. They sit. They react with weight. I have always preferred the way water works. It finds the cracks. It moves under the foundation and waits. My pocket held a small slip of parchment delivered by my contact in the east wing. Brief, written in the shorthand I taught her years ago. Luna awake. Behaviour shifted. The scent is discordant. Claims total amnesia. I stopped at a narrow window and looked out toward the sacred river. A thin silver ribbon in the dark, beautiful and dangerous. Most of the pack viewed it with the kind of reverence that stops people from asking real questions. Even Kael. T

  • City of Two Moons    The King's Ledger

    Chapter 8: The King's Ledger POV: Kael Draven The council chamber felt smaller than yesterday. Not because of the walls or the ceiling. Because of the pressure that came in with me. I took my seat at the head of the obsidian table. Twelve of the most powerful men in the Silver Moon pack lowered their heads without a word, a slow wave moving down both sides of the table. They felt me the way they always did, something low and steady in the bones that didn't need explaining. I looked at them and saw what I always saw. Not allies. Responsibilities. Territories that needed holding, bloodlines that needed managing, a kingdom running across three mountain ranges and two rivers. A machine that only kept moving because I kept moving. Every man in this room would take my seat the moment they thought they could. That was the nature of what I sat on. "The Luna has awoken," I said. Relief moved through the room like a scent. Sweet and soft and exactly the kind of thing I had no use fo

  • City of Two Moons    The Power Map

    Chapter 7: The Power Map POV: Lina Hale Morning light came through the high windows in sharp, dusty beams. I sat on the edge of the bed, skin humming with that low current I still hadn't gotten used to. Every few seconds, my brain would glitch, Lina the waitress bumping up against Selene the Luna, and neither one quite fitting right. Three sharp knocks at the door. I let my shoulders drop, and my eyes went soft before I answered. "Come in." The woman who entered was older than Elara, lean, with grey hair pulled back so tight it looked like it hurt. She smelled of starch and old paper and a thin thread of peppermint underneath the heavier wolf smell of the palace. "My Luna," she said, bowing efficiently. "I am Mira. Elara tells me your mind is still clouded. I have been asked to walk you through the east wing. A recovery tour to help settle the fog." "Mira," I repeated, letting the name land slowly like I was placing it somewhere careful. I stood up. "Thank you. Everything stil

    Chapter 6: The Foreign Note POV: Riven Ashford The palace air was always heavy before a coronation. Tonigt, it felt like something pulled tight and ready to snap. I walked toward the east wing, my boots steady against the stone. I had known Selene since she was five years old, a quiet, clumsy pup who hid behind her father every time Kael walked into a room. Protecting her had become part of the job, woven into what it meant to be Beta. My wolf was restless. The river had taken her and given her back, but the warrior reports were sitting wrong with me. They kept mentioning heat coming off her skin that didn't match the freezing depth of the sacred water. I turned the final corner toward her chambers and let out a slow breath, nostrils open. I picked up what I expected. Lavender, Selene's preference. Soap from Elara. The old mineral smell of the stone walls. Then I reached the door and stopped. My hand hovered just short of the handle. My wolf didn't growl. It went completely rig

  • City of Two Moons    The Amnesia Gambit

    Chapter 5: The Amnesia Gambit POV: Lina Hale The heartbeat was wrong. Thump-thump. Thump-thump. It was too slow for a panic attack and too heavy to be mine. I’ve lived inside my own ribs for twenty-three years, and I know the rhythm of my own heart. This felt deep, weighted, like there was more mass behind it than I’d ever had. I tried to lift my arm, but it moved like it was underwater. Sluggish. Heavier than it should be. When I finally got my hand in front of my face, I stopped breathing. Those weren't my hands. My hands are a mess—scarred knuckles from the diner, skin like sandpaper, and nails bitten down to the quick because I can’t help myself. These fingers were long, pale, and perfectly smooth. The nails were shaped like glass. They were the kind of hands that had never scrubbed a floor or ducked a punch in their life. I didn't scream. Screaming is just a loud way of telling people where to find you. I lay perfectly still and listened. Wind whistling through a crack
