ELMA

I tried to debunk her words but at the same time I held my tongue back to myself before I ended up saying something that I might end up regretting.

I shoved her off my body but her weight kept pressing and leaning unto mine as if she was trying so hard to suffocate me with her scent.

"Oh," Camilla said again, pressing a hand to her chest, eyes wide with mock horror. "Elma, I am so sorry. I don't know what came over me."

‘What? Did she just try to hide behind her wickedness that she didn'

    Vashti arrived at my court unannounced, her expression carrying a gravity that immediately suggested whatever brought her required considerably more urgency than typical diplomatic correspondence allowed."Your Majesty," she said, dispensing with formal pleasantries entirely. "The Empire's council has identified something considerably concerning within our own territory, and I believe it directly threatens your coalition's timeline.""What's happened?" I asked, alarm immediate at her tone."A splinter faction within our own military command," she said. "They've learned about the Convergence, about the scope of what's approaching, and rather than supporting your coalition's preparation efforts, they've begun independently attempting to locate and forcibly extract dormant bloodlines for what they term defensive military preparation.""They're trying to weaponize this before the Convergence even arrives," Selene said, alarm evident in her voice as she joined our conversation."Precisely,

    The Voss family, distant relations of the elder who'd once presided over my children's legitimacy hearing, proved considerably more resistant to our assistance than any family we'd previously approached, and I found myself sitting across their formal dining table three months before the Convergence's arrival, attempting to convince a mother who clearly viewed our entire coalition with suspicion rather than gratitude."I don't believe our daughter carries this heritage," she said flatly, arms crossed despite the medical documentation Jax had carefully compiled. "Doctor Elma, forgive my directness, but your coalition's recent notoriety has made every family with an unusual child a target for this kind of speculation.""I understand your skepticism," I said carefully. "But Mrs. Voss, the symptoms your daughter displays match precisely what we've learned to recognize across dozens of confirmed cases.""What symptoms, exactly?" her husband asked, considerably more open than his wife's obvi

    "We meet it together," I said, echoing sentiments I'd absorbed across an entire childhood watching my parents navigate impossible circumstances with exactly this kind of shared, unwavering resolve. "That's the only way any of this has ever genuinely worked."Six months into our considerable mobilization effort, I gathered with the full coalition council to assess our progress, and the numbers Mia presented carried a mixture of genuine achievement and sobering, considerable challenge still remaining before us."We've identified sixty-three previously unknown bloodlines," Mia reported, her careful documentation spread across the council's central table. "Forty-one have already begun training under our newly developed instructional frameworks. Twenty-two remain either unreached or still resistant to accepting our assistance.""That's remarkable progress," Xander said, though his expression carried the particular weight of someone calculating exactly how much work still remained against a

    The training compound had expanded considerably across these past months, new structures rising alongside our original settlement to accommodate the growing number of families Jax and Damien's search teams continued discovering, and I found myself, overseeing this considerable expansion, grateful for every lesson my mother had ever taught me about balancing fierce protectiveness with genuine, patient leadership."We have a problem," Ronan said, finding me reviewing the week's intake reports in what had become my particular corner of the settlement's expanding administrative building. "Quinn, the Fen family arrived yesterday, and their son's manifestation proved considerably more volatile than anything our current curriculum anticipates handling.""Volatile how?""He's manifesting something we haven't previously catalogued," Ronan said. "Not healing, not dominion, not even the temporal ability the Chronobound child displayed. Ondine believes it might involve elemental manipulation, tho

    The council spent the following hours refining this considerable strategy, and by session's end, we'd established a framework that felt, if not entirely adequate to the impossible scope Selene's father had rightly identified, at least genuinely actionable given the resources our years of careful coalition building had assembled.The family lived considerably further north than any location our previous searches had reached, and Jax and I arrived at their modest farmstead after nearly three weeks of careful travel, following a lead Ondine's newly developed symptom checklist had identified through a chance conversation with a traveling healer."You're certain about this?" I asked Jax, watching him review his notes one final time before we approached the farmhouse door."Reasonably certain," he said. "The healer described exactly the wasting pattern that helped me identify the Empire's crown prince. If I'm wrong, we've simp

    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

    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

    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.
