Lena’s POV

I didn’t pass out.

I want to be clear about that. My knees buckled and Damien caught me and I grabbed the front of his jacket and held on for approximately four seconds before I got my legs back under me and straightened up and stepped away from him.

He let me go immediately.

That mattered. I didn’t know why it mattered but it did.

“Inside,” I said. My voice came out steadier than I felt. “And then you tell me everything. Not pieces. Not the careful version. Everything.”

He nodded on

  • His Rejected Luna Remembers Nothing   First Night

    Lena’s POVIt happened on a Friday.Not dramatically. Not with any particular announcement. Just the quiet accumulation of days that had been building toward something inevitable and the moment when inevitable and ready arrived at the same time.Eli had a nightmare.Not a bad one. The small manageable kind that wakes you up briefly and requires a moment of reassurance before sleep resumes. I heard it through the wall. Was in the room before I was fully conscious of having gotten up. Sat on the edge of the small bed and said still here until the grey eyes settled and closed again.I sat there for a while after.Thinking.Then I got up. Went down the hall. Knocked on his door.He opened it quickly. He had been awake. I could see it in his face.She okay, he said.Fine, I said. Nightmare. Brief. She’s back under.He exhaled.I stood in the doorway.He stood in the door.We looked at each other in the dark hallway at whatever time it was that was too late to be evening and too early to be

  • His Rejected Luna Remembers Nothing    Nadia’s Letter

    Lena’s POVIt arrived four days after the meeting.A letter. Actual paper in an actual envelope addressed in handwriting that was careful and slightly unsteady the way handwriting gets when someone is trying to say something they have rewritten many times.Petra brought it to me without comment. Her face said she had already assessed it for anything dangerous and found only paper.I took it to the garden.Sat on the bench.Held it for a moment before I opened it.The letter was three pages.I will not reproduce it here in my memory because some things are private even from yourself. But the broad truth of it was this.Nadia had met Hale two years before the rejection. He had identified her as a useful instrument and had cultivated her methodically. The feelings she had developed for Damien were real. Hale had used those real feelings as the mechanism. Had fed her jealousy and insecurity over months until she was willing to do something she would not otherwise have done.She had fabric

  • His Rejected Luna Remembers Nothing   The Memory That Changed Everything

    Lena’s POVIt came back on a Thursday.Not a fragment this time. Not a flash or a smell or a feeling without context. The whole thing. Start to finish. Like a door that had been stuck for two and a half years finally swinging open all at once.I was in the training room alone.Early morning. The house not fully awake yet. Eli still sleeping. Damien somewhere downstairs. I had been moving through forms for twenty minutes when it happened.Between one breath and the next I was somewhere else entirely.The memory was from the night before the rejection.I was in our room. The room that was now listed in the estate records as storage and that I had not been able to open the door to yet because I was not ready. I was sitting on the edge of the bed with my hands in my lap and I was afraid.Not of Damien. Of the conversation I had to have with him.Six weeks. The test had been sitting in my jacket pocket for three days because I did not know how to say the words.In the memory I heard the be

  • His Rejected Luna Remembers Nothing   Home

    Lena’s POVEli was in the garden when we pulled in.I could smell them from the car which was still something I was getting used to. The way the world had a whole extra layer now. The way the wolf in me read everything in the air before my eyes caught up. Pack nearby. Safe. The specific warm signature that was Eli unmistakable and immediate and something that settled the last coiled thing in my chest from the morning.I got out of the car.Eli came running from the garden at a speed that was frankly alarming for someone with legs that short. They covered the ground between us with the total commitment of a small person who had decided on a destination and was executing without hesitation.I crouched down and caught them.Small arms around my neck. Full weight trusted completely into my arms.I stood up with them and held on.We stood in the drive for a moment. Me and my daughter who I had not known existed three weeks ago and whom I now could not imagine the shape of a day without.Ri

  • His Rejected Luna Remembers Nothing   What Ria Said

    Ria’s POVShe called from the car like she promised.I was in the garden with Eli who had decided that the raised beds required immediate investigation and had been conducting a soil audit with a small stick for the last forty minutes. Mara was on the bench watching with the expression of someone who had spent forty years around wolves and had decided this particular small wolf was her personal favourite and was not hiding it.I answered on the first ring.How, I said.It’s done, she said.Her voice was steady. That specific steady that was not the absence of feeling but the presence of something that had been decided.I sat down on the cold ground.Eli looked at me.I held up one finger. Minute.Eli accepted this and went back to the audit.Tell me, I said.She told me. All of it. Hale and the terms and Nadia at the end of the table and the door and what was said at it.I sat on the cold ground of that garden and listened to my best friend close the door on the worst thing that had e

  • His Rejected Luna Remembers Nothing   The Room

    Lena’s POVThe neutral location was a hotel conference room forty minutes from the estate.Petra had chosen it. White walls, long table, windows facing a car park which meant no sightlines from outside that mattered. Four chairs on each side. Water glasses already filled. The specific anonymous dignity of a room that had hosted a thousand meetings that changed nothing and was now hosting one that changed everything.We arrived first.Damien and I and Cole and Petra. We took one side of the table. Cole stood at the door. Petra had people outside who I did not ask about because I did not need to know the details to understand the point.I sat down.Damien sat beside me.I looked at the empty chairs across the table and breathed carefully through my nose and took inventory of what I was feeling.Anger. Yes. Deep and specific and two and a half years old.Grief. Under the anger. Older than the anger. The grief of everything that had been taken and the grief of everything that had been mis
