Point of view: Wren

“He is gone,” Ronan said, standing frozen in the doorway of the healer’s wing, and those two words hit me harder than the smoke still burning in my lungs.

My legs carried me forward before my mind fully caught up, the corridor tilting slightly beneath my feet as the smoke thinned enough to let me see the truth for myself.

The corridor outside Alden’s cell was empty of guards, the iron door hanging open on one hinge, and the smell of blood mixed with something bitter and chem

  • Forbidden Under the Blood Moon   chapter 214

    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

  • Forbidden Under the Blood Moon   chapter 213

    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

  • Forbidden Under the Blood Moon   chapter 212

    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

  • Forbidden Under the Blood Moon   chapter 210

    POV: WREN THORNE"There is a fourth site," Mira said, her voice shaking as Kade finally broke the last of her chains, "and I do not think it holds hostages at all."We had gotten her and the other two free without a single sound from the front of the mill, Ronan's decoy party still drawing whatever attention Corvyn had left watching the front doors, and yet something about the ease of it sat wrong in my chest the entire walk back along the riverbank, too smooth, too quiet, the way a held breath feels wrong right before it is finally let out."What do you mean," I asked her, slowing my pace to match her unsteady one."The fourth site is where he keeps the ones training for the second blood moon," Mira said. "Not hostages. Volunteers. Wolves who believe he will reward their loyalty once Blood Moon Law makes whatever he plans to do that night impossible to punish afterward."I stopped walking entirely, the cold river air suddenly feeling sharper against my skin than it had a moment befor

  • Forbidden Under the Blood Moon   chapter 209

    POV: KADE ASHBORN"I found her," Selene said, breathless from running, "but I do not think you will like where."Two days had passed since the tunnel, two days of Torbin's information slowly unraveling into a map of safe houses and dead drops that stretched further across both territories than any of us had wanted to believe possible, and I had begun to understand why my father looked older every morning he woke to another piece of it."Where," Wren asked, already reaching for her boots."The old mill on the border," Selene said. "The one that has stood empty since before either of our fathers were born. Torbin's sister is being held there, along with at least two others Ronan has confirmed were also being controlled the same way he was.""A holding site," I said. "Not a grave. That is something.""It is something," Selene agreed, "but do not mistake it for good news yet. A holding site can become a grave in the time it takes us to decide how carefully we want to approach it."I looke
