The first thing I saw when I stumbled out of the trees was Kael.

Not the mountains behind him. Not the fading light bleeding gold across the snow. Just him.

My knees nearly gave out.

"Selene."

He reached me before I hit the ground, catching my arms hard enough to hurt. His hands moved over my shoulders, my face, my sides – searching for wounds with frantic precision.

"You're bleeding."

I looked down at the blood crusted across my sleeves and shook my head weakly. "Not all of it is mine."

  • Curse of the Moon's Bride    The Bait is Laid

    The study smelled like candle wax, ink, and exhaustion.Maps covered nearly every surface. Pins marked old meeting places. Symbols from Nyra's parchment had been copied onto scraps of paper and scattered across the desk like pieces of a puzzle none of us could fully solve.I stood at the center with my arms folded, trying to ignore the dull ache still lingering from the mine collapse."We need to make W believe the pack is crumbling," I said.Grey leaned against the wall near the door. "That won't be hard. Half the pack already suspects each other."No one laughed. Because he wasn't wrong.Kael rested both hands on the edge of the map table, shoulders tense. "Then we use that. Let the rumors spread. But control which ones."Rina nodded from beside the shelves. "People already think patrols are stretched thin. A little encouragement won't seem strange."Near the window, Drakon turned away from the gray morning outside. "My father's followers always responded to weakness. W will be no d

  • Curse of the Moon's Bride    The Calm Before

    Pain woke me before the sunlight did.It settled deep in my bones, heavy and throbbing, dragging me slowly back to consciousness. For a moment, I didn't know where I was. The air smelled sharp and clean – herbs, crushed leaves, dried roots hanging overhead.The infirmary.I opened my eyes to gray morning light filtering through narrow windows. Bandages wrapped my ribs and shoulder. Another circled my thigh beneath the blankets. Every part of me felt bruised.The carved wolf sat on the small table beside the cot. Someone had cleaned it.My throat tightened unexpectedly at the sight.Mara stood over me with a bowl of steaming water, her silver hair tied back tightly. She pressed two fingers carefully against my ribs. Pain shot through me hard enough to make me hiss."You're lucky," she muttered. "Nothing broken. Though apparently you tried very hard to change that."I let my head fall back against the pillow. "Nyra?"Mara's mouth flattened. "In a cell. Her leg's being treated." She dipp

His hands moved over my shoulders, my face, my sides – searching for wounds with frantic precision."You're bleeding."I looked down at the blood crusted across my sleeves and shook my head weakly. "Not all of it is mine."Dust still coated my throat. Every breath scraped.Behind Kael, Grey and Rina burst through the trees. Grey's arm was wrapped in a rough bandage stained dark at the edges, but he was upright. Alive."We saw the grate break loose," Rina said, breathing hard. "We were trying to reach you."I grabbed Kael's wrist before he could ask another question."Nyra is still down there."His expression changed instantly."The shaft collapsed behind me," I said quickly. "She can't climb out alone."For one terrible

  • Curse of the Moon's Bride    Buried Alive

    Darkness swallowed everything.For one horrible moment, I thought I was dead.Dust clogged my throat and nose, thick enough to choke on. My ears rang so violently I could barely hear myself breathe. Somewhere nearby, rocks still shifted and cracked, small pieces tumbling through the black.Pain hit a second later. Sharp. Blinding.I gasped and tried to move, but something heavy pinned my legs beneath a pile of rubble. Agony shot up my spine so hard my vision blurred.My wrist flickered beside me. Gold.The faint glow spilled across broken stone and splintered beams, barely enough to push back the suffocating dark.I sucked in a shaky breath. "Nyra?"Nothing answered.Panic clawed at my chest. I shoved at the rocks trapping me, teeth gritted against the pain. They didn't move. Dust rained into my face instead, making me cough harder.Think. Don't panic. Panic wastes air.I squeezed my eyes shut and forced myself to breathe slowly.In. Out. Again.Somewhere to my left, something groaned

  • Curse of the Moon's Bride    Into the Mountains

    The carved wolf was already in my hand when I woke.For a moment, I lay still beneath the blankets, staring at the faint gray light bleeding through the curtains. The pack house was quiet in that uneasy way it had been lately – too quiet to be peaceful. Somewhere downstairs, floorboards creaked softly.I rubbed my thumb over the little wooden wolf and tried to ignore the knot in my stomach.Today we hunted Corbin. Or whatever waited for us in the mountains.I pushed the blankets aside and dressed quickly – dark trousers, thick boots, a heavy jacket lined with fur. My blade settled against my hip with familiar weight.Outside, dawn air bit at my lungs.Kael, Grey, and Rina waited near the edge of the territory, their horses shifting restlessly beside them. Frost silvered the grass beneath our feet.No one smiled.Rina tightened the straps on her quiver. "Theron is stable," she said quietly. "But he still hasn't woken."Guilt twisted in my chest. We'd left him vulnerable. Someone had al

  • Curse of the Moon's Bride    The Thread Unravels

    I woke with Theron's voice still echoing in my head.I wasn't sure I could trust you.The words clung to me like cold water.Gray dawn filtered through the curtains while I stared at the ceiling, the carved wolf trapped tightly in my hand. I'd barely slept. Every time exhaustion pulled me under, I saw the cemetery again. The tracks. The hidden symbol. Theron's shaking hands.I rubbed my face and forced myself out of bed.The pack house was already awake when I reached the main hall, but the usual low murmur of breakfast conversations felt thinner this morning. Tense. Uneasy.My eyes found the elders' table.Empty.Theron's chair sat untouched.Grey appeared beside me with two cups of tea. One glance at my face and he already knew."He didn't come to breakfast," he said quietly. "No one's seen him since last night."I stared at the empty chair. "He wouldn't run.""You sound sure.""He's too scared."That fear had been real. I knew it.Kael crossed the hall toward us, fastening his jack
