Erasing the Luna Chapter 76: Northwyck Silence
Rhea woke before sunrise and waited for fear to catch up with her.She lay still beneath the unfamiliar blanket, listening beyond the bedroom door. The room smelled of pine smoke, clean linen, and the lavender oil Lysa had unpacked the night before, yet all Rhea could think about was the quiet corridor.She expected guards to question whether she could leave, servants to whisper her name, or an elder to demand proof that she belonged beneath an Alpha’s roof. Minutes passed, and nobody came.The silence held no hatred, but her body still confused quiet with danger. She remembered waking in the Obsidian Alpha wing beside an empty pillow and finding guards at the door, servants staring through her, and Maddox looking at her as though grief had made her dangerous. This room should have felt peaceful. Instead, its peace seemed too fragile to trust.Rhea pushed the blanket aside and sat on the edge of the bed. The mating mark began to ache before her feet touched the floor.Distance had set
Erasing the Luna Chapter 75: The Empty Wing
Rhea’s absence changed the Alpha wing before her carriage had been gone for an hour.The servants moved quietly through the corridors, and every door closed with unusual care. A breakfast tray remained untouched in Maddox’s sitting room until someone finally carried it away. The tea had gone cold, but no one asked whether he wanted another pot.The guards stationed outside the private corridor kept their eyes lowered. They had faced Maddox’s rage before, but his grief frightened them more because they did not know what might disturb it.Rhea’s room remained exactly as she had left it.Maddox had given that order after returning from the eastern battlement.Her hairbrush rested on the dressing table beside a small bottle of lavender oil. A shawl remained folded over the arm of a chair, and one of her books lay open near the window. A strip of paper covered in her handwriting marked the page.The bed had been made after she rose that morning, but her scent still clung to the pillow.Mad
Erasing the Luna Chapter 74: Leaving the Obsidian Pack
Rhea left the Obsidian Pack at dawn, before the first bell sounded through the mountains.There were no ceremonial drums, council banners, or formal declarations. The eastern gates opened beneath a pale gray sky while frost covered the courtyard stones and morning mist concealed the highest peaks.Even without ceremony, the pack felt her departure.Women from the old Luna corridor had gathered near the eastern courtyard before sunrise. They stood in small groups beneath heavy cloaks, speaking so quietly that their voices barely carried. Some held baskets of food Rhea could not take with her. Others clutched folded notes, knitted scarves, or jars of preserved fruit as though practical gifts might make her departure feel less permanent.Rhea stepped from the western passage with her travel bag in one hand.The black cloak pin Maddox had given her rested at her throat. Its weight seemed heavier than it had the night before.Lysa walked beside h
Erasing the Luna Chapter 73: The Moonrise Decision
Maddox waited in the old Luna corridor while the moon rose above the eastern wall.Rhea had asked him not to come to her room. Shortly before dusk, she had sent Lysa with a message written in her own hand on a plain sheet of paper.“Meet me in the Luna corridor at moonrise. Please come alone.”He had obeyed.That obedience felt like the final lesson in a language he had begun learning too late.The corridor was empty now. The chairs used during the day had been returned to the side rooms, and the petitions had been carried into the small records office. Only the plain wooden chair near the window remained, the one Rhea had placed there after the council stripped her of the right to hold an official court.The lamps burned low against the walls. Their soft light touched the empty spaces where portraits of former Lunas had once hung, the household ledgers stacked beneath the window, and the faint rings left by coun
Erasing the Luna Chapter 72: Scarlett’s Confession
Scarlett came to the old Luna corridor after midnight carrying a wooden box against her chest.Rhea was still awake.Sleep had become impossible after Maddox left the sitting room. His confession remained inside her with unbearable clarity.I love you.She had waited so long to hear those words that part of her still wanted to run through the pack house, find him, and let the bond pull them back into the life they had once shared. Yet another part remained rooted beside the dying fire, remembering that love had not made her safe.By the next moonrise, she would have to decide whether she remained in Obsidian territory or accepted Alaric’s sanctuary.The choice sat beside her like another person.When Scarlett knocked, Rhea assumed Lysa had returned to check on her. Instead, she opened the door to find Scarlett dressed in a plain dark gown with her hair braided loosely over one shoulder. She wore no jewels and carried no
Erasing the Luna Chapter 71: The Choice He Cannot Make for Her
Maddox followed Rhea out of the sun court without trying to touch her.They crossed the pack house in silence. He remained close enough that the bond stayed taut between them, carrying the wounded agitation of his wolf, yet he did not reach for her hand or guide her toward the Alpha wing. He did not ask where she was taking him.For once, he understood that even choosing the room belonged to her.Rhea led him to the small sitting room beside the old Luna corridor.It was neither their marital suite nor the council chamber. It was not the healer’s room, where physical pain had once made tenderness easier to accept. The furniture was plain, the fire had burned low, and the table remained crowded with petitions waiting for morning.A half-finished cup of tea stood beside Scarlett’s ledgers. Someone had left a knitted scarf over the back of a chair with a note asking Rhea to deliver it to a patrol widow.This room belonged to the lif
