Forbidden Under the Blood Moon chapter 245
POV: WREN THORNE"I am carrying our child," I said, the words leaving me all at once, faster than I meant them to, before fear could talk me into softening them into something smaller.Kade went utterly still in front of me, the corridor around us seeming to hold its breath along with him, and for a moment I could not read anything on his face at all, no joy, no fear, simply a stillness so complete it frightened me more than any reaction I had imagined while rehearsing this moment alone in the dark these last few days."How long have you known," he asked finally, his voice quiet, careful, the voice of a man testing whether the ground beneath him was solid enough to stand on yet."Three days," I admitted. "I wanted to be certain before I told you, and then Aldric died, and then Halric, and there was never a moment that felt like it belonged to anything but grief and strategy, and I was afraid that if I told you in the middle of all of it, this would simply become one more crisis for yo

POV: KADE ASHBORN"I should have told you the moment I came back," Ivy said, her voice thin with a guilt she had clearly been carrying since long before she walked through Ashborn's gates again, "but I was afraid of what it would mean for both of us if I did."I studied her across the small study Wren had retreated to after the nursery wing, needing distance from the carved symbol and whatever weight it had settled onto her shoulders, though she still had not told me exactly what that weight was. Ivy sat across from me now, her hands folded too tightly in her lap, and I recognized the particular stillness of someone rehearsing a confession she had delayed for far too long."Tell me now," I said, keeping my voice level despite the exhaustion pressing behind my eyes, "and let me decide what it means, rather than deciding for me."Ivy nodded, though it took her a long moment to find the words. "The man I ran to marry. His name is Dorian. I told you once he was simply someone I met while

POV: WREN THORNE"Something is inside the walls right now," I said, before Kade had even cleared the stairwell, my voice sharper than I intended, urgency bleeding through every word.He reached the landing at a run, Selene and Ronan close behind him, and I watched his eyes go immediately to my face, searching for whatever had put that particular fear there. I did not blame him for the alarm. I had felt this pull only twice before, once in the testing yard hours ago, and once the night Aldric died, and both times it had meant exactly what I was afraid it meant now."Where," Kade asked, already moving toward the source of my attention without waiting for the full explanation."The nursery wing," I said, the words tasting strange and unfamiliar in my mouth, a place that had sat empty and unused since long before either of us was born, prepared generations ago for children neither pack had gotten around to raising there in decades. "I do not know why. I only know the pull is strongest the

POV: KADE ASHBORN"Burn it," Selene said, sliding the ledger across the table like it had personally wronged her, "and then tell me I am wrong to want it burned."I did not touch the ledger yet. It sat between us on the war table, its leather cover cracked with age, the same handwriting that had marked Aldric's windowsill and Halric's empty cell now filling page after page in smaller, tighter script, as though the man writing it had grown more careful with time rather than less. Ronan had found it hidden inside the false bottom of Halric's old quarters an hour after Corin sent us north with half a plan and a warning I still did not fully trust."Read it first," I said. "Then we decide what deserves to burn."Selene exhaled sharply, dropping into the chair across from me with the exhausted weight of someone who had not slept properly in days. "I already read it. Twice. I wanted to be wrong the first time."I opened the ledger carefully, the spine protesting with the particular creak of

POV: WREN THORNE"Tell me you are not the second door," I said, before Corin had even finished turning toward me, my voice cracking on a plea I had not meant to let show so plainly.Corin did not flinch, which frightened me more than if she had. She stood at the edge of the training yard exactly where I had left her an hour ago, as though she had known this conversation was coming and had simply been waiting for me to arrive at it on my own. The moon caught the silver threading through her dark hair, and for the first time since she had walked into Ashborn territory two nights ago, I let myself truly study her face, searching for whatever Selene's crumpled paper had found hiding in the margins."I am not going to insult you by pretending I do not know what Selene found," Corin said, her voice steady in a way that felt deliberate, practiced, the voice of someone who had rehearsed this exact moment more than once in twenty years of waiting. "My name is in those records because I chose t

POV: KADE ASHBORN"The prisoner's cell is empty." Ronan's voice reached us before he did, breaking through the last of the crowd still lingering near the testing yard, his footsteps loud and uneven against the packed earth, and I felt the ground shift beneath me for the second time in as many days. "Halric is gone.""That is not possible," I said, already moving, Wren close beside me, the gold pressure I had come to recognize in her expression sharpening into something close to alarm, her eyes already fixed on some point beyond the walls none of us could see. "He was under guard. I placed the guard myself.""The guard is dead," Ronan said, grim and breathless from running, his voice cracking on the word dead in a way I had rarely heard from him. "Throat opened clean, no struggle, no alarm raised. Whoever did this knew exactly where to stand and exactly how long they had before anyone would notice, knew the rotation better than the men walking it."We reached the cell within minutes, a
