Forbidden Under the Blood Moon chapter 216
POV: WREN THORNE"He did not run," Maren said. "He was collected."I had come to her that evening with the trainer's story still raw in my mouth, the way the trail had gone cold at the river, the way the hounds had circled the bank and whined and refused to go further. We sat again at her crowded table, the candle burned lower now, casting longer shadows across jars I still could not name. Her face had gone pale when I described the river. She had said nothing for a long moment. Then she had said that."Corvyn does not let loose ends run free long enough to be questioned," she went on. "If your trainer reached the river alive, someone was waiting to make sure he did not stay that way."The thought sat cold and heavy in my stomach, another life swallowed by the machinery Corvyn had spent six patient years building. I thought of Cody, safe for now behind the manor walls, and wondered how many more names would be added to the list of people who paid for standing too close to the truth.I

POV: KADE ASHBORN"Everyone keeps saying it does not matter," Cody said, "and everyone keeps acting like it decides everything anyway."His hands were shaking. I had just finished telling him, crouched to his eye level in the training yard, that nothing that happened in the circle would decide who he was. It was true. It was also the kind of true that means very little to a fifteen-year-old boy about to be judged in front of every elder in the territory. I hated that I could not tell him why every adult in his life had suddenly begun watching him like something precious about to break.I had no answer that would not have been a lie, so I rested a hand on his shoulder, squeezed once, and stepped back into the ring of watching adults.The circle had gathered at midday, elders and rank holders forming the outer ring as tradition demanded. The yard was scrubbed clean, the sand raked smooth, the sun hard and white overhead. Ronan stood near the eastern edge, where he could keep an eye on t

POV: WREN THORNE"You came back." I said it before I had decided to say anything at all.Ivy stood at the manor gates like a woman who had forgotten how to ask permission to come home. I had seen her before anyone announced her, a pale shape against the darkening tree line, travel-worn and thinner than I remembered from the mating ceremony months ago, when she had slipped away before the celebrations even finished and left nothing behind but questions. No one had managed to answer them since. My first instinct was relief. My second, closer to the truth, was suspicion.I stopped a careful distance from her, close enough to speak, far enough to watch her hands.Up close, the changes were worse. Her hair, once braided so neatly, hung in a tangled rope over one shoulder. Her cloak was too thin for the season, and a fresh scrape ran along her jaw where a branch had caught it. She looked like someone who had walked out of one life and not yet found the door to another. I wanted to reach for

POV: KADE ASHBORN"There were tracks," Ronan said, dropping a folded map onto the war table hard enough to rattle the candle stand beside it, "and they did not belong to anyone Maren has agreed to trust near her land."We had ridden back from the eastern treeline with almost nothing to show for an hour of searching: broken grass, a scuffed patch of bark, and half of a print pressed into soft mud. Whoever had watched Wren train was long gone by the time the guardian led us to the spot. The ride home had been quiet. Wren had said nothing at all, one hand on the ring, her eyes fixed on the road ahead as if it might try to escape her.Now the war room smelled of tallow and old ink and damp wool. My father sat at the head of the table wearing the particular stillness he saved for moments when he was working hard not to look as frightened as the rest of us felt."Show me," I said.Ronan spread the map flat. Torbin's careful ink was still there, but a second set of marks had joined it, Ronan

POV: WREN THORNE"He will not look at me," I said. "Why will he not look at me?"Maren did not answer right away. We stood in the clearing behind her land at dawn, mist still hanging low over the grass, and the guardian paced a slow circle around me instead of coming to my side the way he always did. His paws made no sound in the wet. His head stayed turned away every time I tried to catch his eye. It frightened me more than anything Maren had said inside her cottage, and I had not expected that. Words could be argued with. This felt like being shut out of a house I had thought was mine.Maren watched from the treeline with her arms folded, her face unreadable in the gray light. "He knows what I told you," she said at last. "He has known longer than either of us. That is why he will not meet your eyes this morning. He is afraid of what you will ask him to help you become.""I am not asking him to help me become anything. I am asking him to help me survive what I already am.""Those ar

POV: KADE ASHBORN"You have been standing outside my door for an hour," the old woman said before I had even raised a hand to knock, "and you still have not decided whether you trust me."The cottage squatted at the edge of the strip of land neither pack claimed anymore, too close to the old Vane border for Ashborn wolves to settle and too close to our scent markers for anyone still loyal to what remained of Vane pride. Thatch sagged over the roofline. Smoke leaked from a crooked chimney, and the yard smelled of wet earth and woodsmoke and something sharper underneath, like a coin held too long against the tongue. Bram had found her three weeks ago. He had said almost nothing about her since, only that she was old enough to remember the purge firsthand and that her name was Maren."I trust very little these days," I said, ducking under the low lintel with Wren close behind me. "It has kept me alive."Maren laughed, a dry sound like leaves scraping over stone. She waved us toward a tab
