HIS FATED LUNA DOCTOR CHAPTER 68: WHAT DANIEL FINALLY SAYS
IRENETom walks into the dining hall under his own power five days after the fever broke, and the sound that greets him, warriors rising from their benches all at once, a cheer rolling through the room loud enough to rattle the windows, is the first sound I have heard since my return to this pack that carries no undercurrent of suspicion or wariness beneath it at all.He finds me before I can retreat to the quieter corner I have claimed for myself these past weeks, his grip when he takes my hand still carrying the particular strength that convinced me, all those months ago, that he would fight through whatever damage his body carried if given even the smallest chance to."They tell me I died twice on your table," he says, his voice rough with an emotion he does not bother hiding. "And twice you brought me back anyway. I do not know how a man is supposed to thank someone for that kind of thing, Dr. Cross.""You do not need to thank me," I say, though something in my chest warms despite
HIS FATED LUNA DOCTOR CHAPTER 67: THE LONGEST NIGHT
IRENEThe alarm comes just past midnight, a young warrior pounding on my quarters' door hard enough that I am on my feet and reaching for my bag before I am fully awake, his voice cracking through the wood in fragments that do not need to be complete for me to understand the shape of what is happening."Tom, it's Tom, something's wrong, Daniel says come now."I do not remember the run to the medical wing so much as I remember arriving there already breathless, my hair still loose from sleep, my mind clearing itself of everything except the singular, narrowing focus that crisis has always demanded of me, the same focus that took hold the night Hazel collapsed in the courtyard, the same focus I trained into my hands over a year of human medical work specifically because it does not leave room for fear until afterward, when there is finally time to feel it.Tom is convulsing when I reach him, his whole body seizing against the bedsheets, Daniel already at his side trying to hold him stea
HIS FATED LUNA DOCTOR CHAPTER 66: THE WOLF HE CANNOT LEASH
ASHFORDI am crossing the upper walkway toward the training yard when I see them, and I stop walking entirely, my body going still in the particular way it only goes still when every instinct in me recognizes a threat before my mind has finished processing what it is looking at.Irene is sitting on the garden bench below, her head resting against Daniel's shoulder, his hand curled loosely around hers where it rests between them, and from this distance I cannot hear a single word passing between them, only the shape of the two of them settled together in the afternoon light, easy and unhurried in a way I have not once managed to be with her since the day she returned to these lands.The mark on my shoulder ignites like something set to flame.I grip the walkway's stone railing before I am fully aware of deciding to, and I feel my nails lengthen against the stone, feel the low, guttural sound building in my chest that has nothing to do with words and everything to do with the particular
HIS FATED LUNA DOCTOR CHAPTER 65: THE COMFORT OF NOT KNOWING
DANIELI know something has shifted the moment I see her in the medical wing the next morning, before she has said a single word to me, before I have even set down the tray of instruments I carried in from the supply closet. It is nothing dramatic, nothing anyone else in this pack would likely notice at all. Only the particular slowness in the way she moves between patients, a heaviness in her shoulders that was not there yesterday morning, the faint shadows beneath her eyes suggesting a night spent awake rather than sleeping. I have spent years learning to read the small, unguarded details people leave scattered across their bodies when they believe no one is watching closely enough to notice, and Irene, this morning, is leaving quite a lot scattered for anyone willing to look.I do not ask her about it directly. I have learned, across the weeks I have spent building whatever this is between us, that Irene responds far better to patience than to pressure, that she gives more of herse
HIS FATED LUNA DOCTOR CHAPTER 64: WHAT INTENT DOES NOT ERASE
ASHFORDI am still awake when she finds me, sitting in the same study where she confronted me about Garrick that morning, a lifetime ago now by how heavy this single day has grown. I have not moved from behind the desk in some time, the papers Simon left with me hours ago sitting untouched beneath my hands, my mind circling the same worn path it has circled since Irene walked away from that balcony. I hear the door open before I look up, and something in me both dreads and welcomes the sight of her standing in the doorway, her arms still wrapped loosely around herself, her expression unreadable in the low lamplight."I could not sleep," she says, by way of explanation, though I suspect it is not the whole of why she has come."Neither could I." I gesture toward the chair across from me, the same one Marcus occupied hours earlier, and she takes it slowly, as though testing whether sitting here again will reopen something she is not yet ready to face a second time tonight.She does not
HIS FATED LUNA DOCTOR CHAPTER 63: TWO TRUTHS AT ONCE
IRENEI do not go back to my quarters right away. I walk instead, aimlessly at first, past the training yard and the dining hall and the low stone wall that marks the edge of the medical wing's garden, my arms still wrapped around myself against a cold that has nothing to do with the night air, and it is only when I find myself standing at the garden's far corner, staring at nothing in particular, that I let myself finally stop moving and simply feel whatever it is I have been outrunning since Ashford's last words on that balcony.He was hunting a threat. Not a mate. A threat to someone he did not yet know was me.I turn the sentence over and over, testing it the way I might test a diagnosis that does not quite fit the symptoms in front of me, looking for the seam where it stops holding together. I have spent a year building an entire architecture of blame around one central belief, that Ashford's loss of control was a selfish, careless thing, an Alpha too consumed by his own instinct
HIS FATED LUNA DOCTOR Chapter 4 : The Alpha's Search
Ashford.ONE YEAR LATER.I stood at my office window, watching the afternoon sun cast long shadows across the pack grounds. Somewhere out there, she existed. My mate. The she-wolf I had marked a year ago and lost in the same breath.The bond mark on my shoulder burned, a constant reminder of my fai
HIS FATED LUNA DOCTOR Chapter 3 : The Exile
Irene.I woke to silence.Not the comfortable silence of sleep, but the empty silence of something vital missing. I reached for my wolf, the way I had done every morning since I was twelve, and found nothing. Just a vast, aching void where she used to be.A sob tore from my throat before I could st
HIS FATED LUNA DOCTOR Chapter 2: The Stripping
Irene.I stood in the center of the room, they had tied my hands with a silver cord that burned against my wrists. The mark on my neck throbbed with each heartbeat, a constant reminder of the bond I could not escape."Irene Cardona." Elder Garrett spoke first, his voice echoing off the vaulted ceil
HIS FATED LUNA DOCTOR Chapter 1 : The Marking
Irene."Stand up straight, Irene." My father's voice cut through the celebration noise. "You are embarrassing me."I straightened my spine, watching pack members laugh and dance around the flames. The Moon Ceremony was supposed to be a night of joy, celebrating the alliance between our pack and the
