Liam

Seven years of searching had worn grooves into me that no amount of power or victory could smooth away, and I had stopped, sometime in the fourth year, pretending to anyone, even myself, that time would eventually ease the particular ache of having thrown away the one thing that had ever mattered.

My father's illness arrived like a final cruelty layered atop years of quieter ones, a wolfsbane blood curse our healers had never seen before, spreading through him slowly enough to torture us

  • His Rejected Plus-Sized Secret Heir    Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Seven

    The full coalition council convened within three days of our return, every territory's representative gathered in a chamber that had grown considerably more crowded across these years, and I stood at its head, understanding the particular weight of delivering news that would reshape our entire mission's scope and urgency."One year," I said, once the assembled leaders had settled into attentive silence. "That's the timeline we've been given before every dormant Moonbound bloodline across every territory awakens simultaneously, regardless of whether we've found and trained them beforehand.""How many bloodlines are we discussing?" Rourke asked, practical concern evident in his voice."We don't know precisely," Elma answered, stepping forward beside me. "Mia's research suggests the number could reach into the hundreds, scattered across territories we haven't even considered searching previously.""That's an impossible task," Selene's father said bluntly. "Y

    "You're asking us to somehow reach and protect every hidden Moonbound family across every territory, within a single year," I said, the enormity of that task settling heavy across my chest."I am telling you what approaches," the figure corrected gently. "Whether you choose to meet it prepared or unprepared remains entirely your family's decision, exactly as it has always been throughout this bloodline's considerable history.""Will you help us?" Mia asked, stepping forward with the particular boldness her scholarly confidence had cultivated across these transformative years. "If you can manifest here, surely you can offer some guidance beyond simply naming the danger.""I am bound to this place," the figure said, something almost apologetic entering her ethereal voice. "A memory, not a living presence capable of intervening directly beyond these ancient stones. But I can offer this. Return here, whenever you require gui

    Elma"Now, for the first time since that ancient tragedy," the figure said, "three children born simultaneously share this inheritance completely, bonded together rather than isolated, trained through love rather than left to discover their power through fear. Elma, your family has already proven what my original blessing always intended to demonstrate. Power, guided properly, need never become destruction.""So the Convergence has already happened?" Jax asked, confusion evident in his voice. "We already proved it, back at the eclipse, at the fortress, everywhere we've faced this threat?""Those trials tested your family's resolve," the figure said. "But the true Convergence still approaches, considerably larger in scope than anything you've yet faced. Every dormant bloodline scattered across these territories, the Chronobound child, the Empire's own hidden heritage, others you haven't yet discovered, all of them carry fragments of the same original blessi

    ElmaThe climb began before dawn, our party moving carefully along a narrow trail that wound upward through stone so pale it seemed to catch starlight directly, and by the time the sun finally crested the horizon, we'd reached a plateau considerably higher than I'd anticipated our first day's effort would carry us."There," Ondine said, pointing toward a structure barely visible against the mountainside, weathered pillars arranged in a wide circle around what appeared to be a raised stone platform. "That matches the description in the oldest fragment I translated. Elma, I believe we've found it.""Found what exactly?" Damien asked, his hand resting protectively near his weapon despite the site's obvious abandonment."I don't know precisely," Ondine admitted. "A shrine, perhaps. A place of ritual significance, judging by its construction."Quinn moved forward before anyone could caution her, drawn toward the platform with an expression I recognized

    XanderWord of Ondine's discovery traveled through the coalition considerably faster than any of us had anticipated, and within weeks, I found myself managing an entirely unexpected consequence, territories that had previously supported our efforts with straightforward cooperation now approaching this news with something closer to religious reverence, and in several cases, uncomfortable demands."The southern territories want a formal audience with Elma's children," Marcus reported during our morning briefing, his expression carrying the particular strain of someone managing considerably more diplomatic complexity than our coalition had previously required. "Several minor lords have begun describing them as living conduits to the Moon Goddess herself, and they're requesting blessings, prophecies, guidance regarding matters entirely unrelated to our original mission.""That's precisely the kind of attention I hoped to avoid," I said, frustration evident des

    ElmaWe departed for the Silent Peaks three weeks after Ondine's initial discovery, our considerable party moving steadily through territory none of us had previously traveled, the terrain growing progressively more remote and unfamiliar with each passing day until even Beatrix's careful directions began requiring guesswork to properly interpret.I found myself experiencing something peculiar as we drew closer, a faint, persistent warmth beneath my skin that intensified gradually rather than arriving suddenly, entirely distinct from the silver light I'd spent years learning to summon and control deliberately."You're glowing," Damien observed one evening, alarm evident in his voice as he studied the faint luminescence now visible beneath my skin even without conscious effort to channel any power at all."I feel it too," I admitted, genuine unease coloring my voice despite my determination to remain composed for the children's sake. "Damien, this isn't lik

    Elma“Wait, Liam, what are you”The door slammed shut, cutting off my words.A mistake.Panic and a sickening wave of betrayal forced me into motion. I scrambled off the bed, my hands shaking so violently I could barely pull the torn fabric of my dress over my curves. I didn't bother with my shoes.

Tonight, the entire pack gathered to watch Liam take his rightful place as Alpha. For the first time in years, the harvest was

    Elma"Treason!""Stone her!""Tear her apart!"My head throbbed with a blinding pain. I blinked, my vision swimming as the blurry shapes around me sharpened into terrifying focus. I was lying on the floor of a steel cage."What... what am I doing here?" "Please.""She's finally awake," a deep, c

    ElmaThe rough bark of the boundary tree scraped against my bare back as the two guards violently hurled me onto the wet, muddy ground."Stay on that side of the line, Elma," the taller one spat, tossing my torn shoes into the dirt beside my head. "If you cross back onto Silver Moon territory, we w
