HIS FATED LUNA DOCTOR Chapter 40: The Night That Doesn't Add Up
SIMONThe warrior roster from the night of Irene's exile sits on my desk exactly where I left it three nights ago, and I have read it so many times now that I could recite the names in order without looking. Seven pack members logged as present at the eastern gate that night. Seven statements taken in the days afterward, all of them brief, all of them consistent with the official account, all of them, I am beginning to suspect, wrong in ways their authors do not even realize.I did not start this investigation looking for Irene's ghost. Ashford asked me to trace the security breach that killed four warriors and nearly took Callan, to find how the wards failed and whether anyone had a hand in weakening them. That is still the work. But three nights ago, going through the old gate logs looking for a pattern in who had access and when, I found something that had nothing to do with rogues or wards, something that stopped me cold enough that I sat at this desk until well past midnight rere
HIS FATED LUNA DOCTOR Chapter 39: What the Old Books Knew
IRENEThe council does not ask me to answer that night. Ashford ends the session before Prisha can press further, citing the lateness of the hour and Callan's continued recovery as reasons the full accounting can wait until morning, and I understand without being told that he has bought me time I have not earned and cannot keep for long. I leave the stone chamber with my spine straight and my hands steady, and it is only once I am three corridors away, alone, that I let myself stop pretending either of those things comes naturally.I do not go back to my quarters. I tell myself it is because I will not sleep regardless, that lying in the dark rehearsing answers to questions I do not yet know how to survive will accomplish nothing useful. The truth, closer to the bone, is that I need to be doing something, anything, that feels like moving toward a door instead of standing pinned against a wall waiting for six elders to decide whether I deserve to keep existing in this pack.The restric
HIS FATED LUNA DOCTOR Chapter 38: Under Alpha Authority
IRENEThe council chamber was colder than the rest of the lodge, an old stone room that had clearly been built before anyone cared much for comfort, and I understood within moments of stepping into it that the chill was not entirely a matter of architecture. Six elders sat along the long table at its center, robed in the dark, unadorned way pack elders apparently favored, and every one of their faces turned toward me with an expression I had grown skilled at reading over the past week. Not quite hostility. Something colder and more patient than that, the particular wariness of people who had decided a thing was dangerous before they had bothered to determine whether it was also true.Ashford sat at the head of the table, and even from the doorway I could see the tension held tight in his shoulders, the careful stillness of a man bracing for something he could not entirely prevent."Dr. Cross." The elder who spoke first was an older woman with steel gray hair pulled back severely from
HIS FATED LUNA DOCTOR Chapter 37: The Report He Didn't Send
DANIELI had the message half composed three times that morning and deleted it three times before I let myself admit what I was actually doing, which was not drafting a report but finding increasingly elaborate reasons not to send one.The device sat on the desk in the small cabin they had given me at the edge of pack territory, unremarkable to look at, the kind of plain black case that could have held a phone belonging to anyone. It held considerably more than that. A direct, encrypted line to the Order, the same line I had used a dozen times before on a dozen other assignments, reporting sightings and confirmations and the slow, patient documentation that constituted most of what I actually did in this work. I had never hesitated over it before. That was the part I kept circling back to, turning over like a stone I couldn't quite stop touching. I had watched rare bloodlines reveal themselves in worse and stranger ways than what had happened in that infirmary last night, and I had al
HIS FATED LUNA DOCTOR Chapter 36: What She Actually Did
IRENEHe stood on his own two feet, broad shouldered and solid, dressed in a plain shirt that did nothing to hide how whole he looked, how thoroughly and impossibly recovered from what should have killed him twice over before dawn. I had seen the wound. I had felt it beneath my palms, the ragged tear where a rogue's claws had opened him from collarbone to ribs, the way his blood had gone from hot to lukewarm to something with no temperature at all in the space of a few frantic minutes. I knew, with the flat certainty of someone who had trained for years to know such things, exactly how far past saving he had been.And yet here he was, blinking at me in the thin morning light, looking less like a man recovering from near death and more like one who had simply overslept."You're standing," I said, because it was easier than anything else I might have said first, an observation rather than the question underneath it. "How does it feel?""Strange." He said it slowly, testing the word, one
HIS FATED LUNA DOCTOR Chapter 35: Practiced Innocence
ASHFORDI found Lyra in the training yard behind the barracks, exactly where I expected her to be at this hour, running a group of the younger warriors through drills with the same crisp, exacting precision she brought to everything she did. She had always been good at this part of her role, sharp enough to catch a sloppy stance from thirty feet away, patient enough to correct it without humiliating whoever had made the mistake. I had trusted her with the training of half this pack's fighters for three years, and some part of me, watching her now, still wanted to trust her, which was precisely why I forced myself to stand at the edge of the yard and simply observe for a while before approaching.She noticed me within a few minutes, the way she noticed everything in her periphery, a hunter's awareness that had made her valuable to me long before any of this. She called a short break to the warriors and crossed the yard toward me, her expression arranging itself into something appropria
HIS FATED LUNA DOCTOR Chapter 6: The Weight of Healing
IRENE The first week at Crescent Moon Pack passed in a blur of sleepless nights and careful deception.I learned the layout of the pack's medical wing within hours. It was smaller than I expected, more intimate than the human hospital where I had trained. Three beds, a surgical table that looked d

Irene. The car stopped at the edge of pack territory, and my hands trembled against my medical bag.One year. One year since I had crossed this border as a broken, wolfless failure. Now I was returning as Dr. Irene Cross."You sure about this, Doc?" The human driver looked nervous. "This place giv

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
