Chapter Sixteen

POV: Sera Ashwood

The elders were already seated in my front room when I came downstairs and I stopped at the bottom of the stairs and looked at all four of them sitting there in their white ceremonial robes with their serious faces and I thought, not today, I genuinely cannot do this today of all days.

But Elder Corvin was already opening his mouth so apparently today was exactly what we were doing.

  • EVEN ALPHAS KNEEL: The Rejected Mightiest Luna    Chapter Fifty Nine

    Chapter Fifty NinePOV: Sera AshwoodMordecai was already at the edge of the clearing when I arrived and I stopped at the center of it and looked at him and felt my wolf do that thing it had been doing since the first day he walked through my gate, that old cold recognition pointing at him like a compass needle that had finally found its north, and I was done managing it, done trying to understand it, done doing anything except letting it tell me what it had been trying to tell me since the beginning.Kael was standing at the eastern tree line.I had told him last night that I needed him in the clearing at dawn and I had not told him why and he had not asked and he had come anyway and he was standing right there at the edge of the trees with his arms at his sides and his wolf fully present and his face doing that thing it did now when he was trying very hard not to make something about himself that was not about him, and I thought that was possibly the most significant thing he had

  • EVEN ALPHAS KNEEL: The Rejected Mightiest Luna    Chapter Fifty eight

    Chapter Fifty eight POV: Kael Dravon Sera came to find me the morning after Damien had been in her garden and I knew about Damien being in her garden because I had a guard on the outer perimeter of her household that she did not know about and had not known about since the night the testing stone went black, because whatever else was uncertain right now her safety was not something I was leaving to chance. She walked into the elder's meeting room where I had been working since before dawn and she closed the door behind her and looked at me across the table with that expression she wore when she had already decided something and was coming to deliver the decision rather than discuss it. "Damien was here last night," she said. "I know," I said. Something moved across her face. "You know." "I have had someone watching your outer perimeter since the ceremony," I said. "I was going to tell you." "When," she said. "When the timing was not going to make it sound like surveillance

  • EVEN ALPHAS KNEEL: The Rejected Mightiest Luna    Chapter Fifty Seven

    Chapter Fifty Seven POV: Kael DravonKelvin put the final file on my desk at midnight and I had been waiting for it since the moment I sent him back to Pack Dravon three days ago with one instruction: find everything, confirm everything, leave nothing unverified.He had found everything.I read it from the first page to the last without stopping and when I finished I sat back and looked at the ceiling and felt the specific cold of a man who has just had the last thing he was hoping was not true confirmed in writing with documented evidence and witness accounts and financial records that went back further than the day I ever selected Zara from a list of suitable Luna candidates.Further than that. Considerably further.I stood up and walked to the window and looked out at the dark settlement and breathed through everything sitting in my chest and thought about the day I had stood in my council room and looked at that list and felt nothing when I selected her name and told myself that

  • EVEN ALPHAS KNEEL: The Rejected Mightiest Luna    Chapter Fifty Five

    Chapter Fifty FivePOV: SeraI did not sleep.I sat by the window where Damien had thrown that stone and watched the dark settle into the deeper dark that comes right before morning, and I turned his words over so many times that by the time the sky started to grey at the edges I had worn them smooth, like stones in a riverbed, like something I had been carrying so long I no longer felt the weight of it.The vial. The full moon window. Zara's lie about the child she was not carrying.I believed him.That was the part that frightened me most, not the conspiracy itself, but how quickly I believed it. Two months of watching Lyra's face do things that did not match her words. Two months of feeling something cold settle in my chest every time she touched my arm and called me sister. I had been carrying the suspicion already. Damien had not given me something new. He had given me language for something I already knew, and there is a particular kind of fear that comes from having your worst

    Chapter Fifty Four POV: DamienReuel found me at nightfall exactly like he said he would.He came alone and he came without announcing himself and his wolf was fully back which I felt before I heard his footsteps, that dominant pressure of him filling the space around the hollow tree like something that had been compressed and was now expanding back to its natural size, and I stood up from where I had been crouching and faced him and waited.He looked at me for a long moment and then he said, "I want to know who sent you.""That is not something I am giving you tonight," I said."Then this conversation is short," he said."My Alpha's identity does not change what I heard at that wall," I said. "And it does not change what is going to happen to Sera if we spend the next hour arguing about information that is not relevant to the immediate problem."He was quiet. His wolf pushed against mine and I held my ground and did not push back because pushing back against a dominant Alpha when yo

A short, broken sound,
