Duncan

The moon went dark. Not eclipsed. Not hidden behind clouds. Just gone.

One moment it hung silver and full above the tournament grounds, steady and eternal as it had been since the beginning of our kind. The next, it blinked out like a candlewick crushed between fingers.

The world followed.

Sound drained first. The hum of voices, the crackle of torches, the distant clank of steel. All of it dissolved into a suffocating vacuum, as if the night itself had drawn a breath and refused to relea

  • Luna Rising   Suit Up

    Elara POVMorning sunlight stretched across my face. The warmth pulled me out of sleep. I'd left the curtains open when I came to bed last night. I couldn't stand the idea of sleeping in a completely dark room again, and the moon had been full and bright when I finally turned in.I blinked my eyes open, the clean white ceiling coming into view. The soft, plush mattress underneath me still felt unusual, but I could definitely get used to it. For the first time I could remember, I slept through the night and didn't dream.I wasn't entirely sure what that meant. Still, I felt rested, clear-headed. And I was already craving a shower, so I tossed the covers back and headed to the bathroom. I hesitated for a brief second before I turned on the towel warmer, then opened the glass door and started the spray as hot as it would go. I stayed under the stream until my fingers wrinkled and my skin was pink. When I stepped out and wrapped one of the fluffy towels around me, I couldn't help the sm

  • Luna Rising   Settling In

    Elara POVThe doctor discharged Allie and me the next day. He still wanted us to come in for regular check-ups for the next month, but he was satisfied that we’d healed enough to be on our own. He’s also set up daily counseling sessions for us both. I wasn’t sure how to feel about any of it. For so long, my only job had been to survive. Now, I had freedom. But what the hell did I do with it? Gavin and Ross were doing their best to give us space to choose. But apparently that space ended at our living arrangements.“I’m not moving in with you,” I said for the third time. “Elara, please. I don’t need you to share my room. But if we share the suite, we can stay in proximity enough that my wolf is satisfied you’re safe, and if something happens and you need me, I’ll be right there. There’s enough room for Ross and Allie to each have their own rooms, too, so the four of us can help each other.”The part of me that had bristled over being told what to do settled a bit with his explanati

  • Luna Rising   One Day at a Time

    Gavin POVThe room got serious quickly. “From what Elaine said, Allie just did the impossible.” I turned to face her. “Can you tell us what happened, honey?”Ross still had her on his lap. She sat up as straight as she could with his arms wrapped around her. “I just…something told me to help him. To try to touch it. I didn’t know what would happen.” She chewed on her lip. “There was a voice in my head. It sort of sounded like me, but not.”‘Wolf,’ Atka said. “Tell us more about that,” my dad prompted. “Um. I was watching the smoke around him, and Elaine said there was nothing she could do. Then, very clearly, I heard, ‘Help him.’ And the black was moving over him, and I could see the bug, and the voice said, ‘Touch the bug.’ So I did.”Mom and Phineas exchanged a look. He cleared his throat, then asked, “Allie, have you ever heard that voice before?”She shook her head. Phineas nodded like he’d expected that answer. “While the original Luminar were created and lost our wolves in t

  • Luna Rising   What Lies Beneath

    Allie POVThe hospital room was filled with the quiet murmur of voices. I stirred on the bed, my body feeling rested and whole for the first time in years. Then the warmth of teakwood and cardamom filled my nose, and I knew Ross was beside me. I opened my eyes and sat up. He was standing next to the bed, his gaze unfocused, while the doctor was speaking with Gavin and Elara. She was finally awake. Something in me settled. I knew the doctor had said she just needed rest, but I had been so worried when they told me yesterday we’d been sleeping for days. I couldn’t bear to lose her after everything we’d been through. Some days, she was the only reason I didn’t give up.Tingles ran along my face. I looked up to see Ross’s eyes had cleared, and he was looking at me now, brushing my hair away. I’d figured out yesterday that he had an obsession with my hair, always caressing it or brushing it off my forehead. I didn’t actually mind it. His touches were always gentle, and he never pushed. I

  • Luna Rising   Under the Surface

    Declan POVThe conference room smelled like stale coffee and leftover bacon. Our plates had been cleared long ago, but the scents lingered. It was just enough to keep us anchored in the here and now as we watched the videos of the hunters working.Right now, it was just the spymaster and me reviewing the footage. King Gideon and Alpha Duncan had gone with King Dorian to gather more allies, and most of the others had taken a break from reviewing the files we'd collected. Ross and Gavin hadn't left their mates' sides, not that I blamed them. They'd still managed to stay up to date and do their part in sorting through everything we brought back from the lab. I glanced over at Dimitri. His jaw flexed under the light stubble as he focused on the monitor in front of him. It was one of the first signs of emotion I'd seen from the man in the four days we'd been working together. I shifted my gaze to his monitor.Allie was strapped to a table, naked except for simple bands of cloth draped ove
