Forbidden Under the Blood Moon chapter 253
POV: WREN THORNE"Tell me you did not take it from the gate, Cody. Tell me you did not walk out there alone." My voice shook with anger I could not hide, because the small iron token in his palm looked far too much like a threat.My little brother lifted his chin, the way he always did when he knew he had done something foolish. We stood in the back corridor behind the kitchens, where the smell of baking bread drifted through the walls, a smell so ordinary it made the moment feel even stranger. "I was not alone. I took two guards.""Which two?""Pell and Dara. They stayed by the wall. I only crossed the stream.""Cody!""It was right there, Wren!" He held out the token. It was dull black metal, no bigger than a coin, stamped with a crescent moon and a thin curved bone beneath it. "I was checking the ground by the east wall because Ronan said to look for signs, and it was half buried in the mud. Someone dropped it that night."I took it carefully. It was heavy for its size, and cold, a

POV: KADE ASHBORN"You are not training again today, Wren. I mean it. I watched you almost fall in front of the whole yard, and I will not stand there and watch it happen twice." My voice came out sharper than I intended.She stopped in the doorway of our room, one hand resting on the frame. Pale afternoon light fell across her face, and I saw the dark circles under her eyes that she had tried to hide with a braid and a brave expression. "Kade, I did not fall. I sat down quickly.""You sat down because your legs quit.""They quit for a few seconds.""A few seconds is long enough for a blade to find you." I rubbed my forehead. "I am sorry. I do not want to fight with you. I just cannot stop seeing your hands on fire.""And I cannot stop hearing that heartbeat." She walked in and sat on the edge of the bed, quiet for a moment. "Do you think I do not want to rest? Every part of me wants to lie down and keep one hand on my stomach and pretend the moon is a year away. But it is not, Kade.

POV: WREN THORNE"Wren, stop! Look at your hands!" Cody's voice cracked across the training yard, and I looked down to find gold fire crawling over my fingers, the wooden post in front of me already black and crumbling like old bread, while every guard in the yard stood frozen and staring.Corin did not move. "Do not pull away," she said calmly. "If you snatch the power back, it will tear something inside you.""It is burning, Corin!" My voice shook. "I cannot feel my own skin.""You can feel it. You are just afraid to." She stepped closer, her gray braid swinging, her old eyes steady on mine. "Breathe in for four counts. Out for six. Now tell me what the fire wants.""It wants out.""Then why is it still in your hands and not in the whole yard?"I stared at her. The question landed strangely, because she was right. The gold light was bright, but it clung to me like a second glove. It was not running wild. It was waiting. The morning air smelled of scorched pine and cold dew, and my k

POV: KADE ASHBORN"There is one more thing you need to see before we finish planning anything," Selene said, her voice carrying a hesitation I had not heard from her since the night she first uncovered the ledger's eleven names.Dawn had fully broken by then, pale light finally reaching the war room windows, though exhaustion still clung to every corner of the manor like smoke that refused to clear. Wren sat beside me, her hand resting loosely in mine, and I felt her attention sharpen instantly at Selene's tone, the same instinct that had guided her through this entire impossible night rising once more to meet whatever came next."Show us," Wren said.Selene slid a single folded paper across the table, separate from the ledger, something she had clearly been holding back until she found the right moment to reveal it. "I found this tucked inside Varek's quarters, beneath a floorboard Ronan's guards nearly missed. It is not a name this time. It is a date."I unfolded the paper carefully

POV: WREN THORNE"You will not get anything more from him than what he already gave you in the corridor," Corin said quietly, watching through the small barred window as Varek sat motionless in the cell that had once held Halric, his composure fully restored now, unbothered by capture in a way that unsettled me more than any struggle would have.I stood beside her, exhaustion pulling at every muscle I had used in the fight an hour ago, though sleep felt impossible with the manor still humming with the aftermath of attack, guards doubling patrols, Selene cross referencing every name Varek's associates might lead her toward before dawn forced everyone to face this day's consequences properly. "He wanted to be caught," I said slowly, the realization settling uncomfortably as I studied Varek's stillness through the bars. "Everything about tonight, the timing, the retreat, even this. He is exactly where Corvyn intended him to end up.""A message delivered in a cell, the same as Halric was,

POV: KADE ASHBORN"They are inside the eastern wall," Ronan shouted, and I was already moving before the words had fully left him, every exhausted hour of this night burning away instantly beneath a surge of pure, focused adrenaline.The manor had erupted into controlled chaos, guards moving in formations Ronan had drilled into them across years of preparation neither of us had wanted to need this badly, and I found Wren already at the top of the eastern stairwell, dressed and alert despite having slept perhaps an hour since our conversation in the corridor, Corin standing close beside her with an expression sharpened into something far more dangerous than the careful stillness she had worn since arriving."How many," I asked, falling into step beside them as we moved toward the source of the commotion."Six that Ronan's scouts have counted so far," Corin said. "Moving with training, not desperation, which means Corvyn sent people who expected to succeed tonight, not simply people wil
