Damien's POV

I stared at what I had written on that paper.

The scar through the left eyebrow.

My hand was not moving anymore. The pen just sat there between my fingers doing nothing while my brain tried to catch up with what my gut already knew.

I recognized that description.

"Beta Silvercrest," Colt said quietly. "Are you alright?"

I set the pen down slowly.

"How certain are you about the scar?" I said.

"Completely," he said. "It was the first thing I noticed about his face."

I stood up and w

  • Luna's Reckoning    Chapter 31

    Marcus POVI did not sleep that night.After Garrett told me about Victoria's guard I sat alone in my office until the sky outside started turning gray. Going over everything in my head. Turning it around and looking at it from different angles the way you do when something does not quite fit together right.Victoria Blackthorn.I had known her for eleven years. Sat beside her on three different regional councils. Argued with her about pack law over dinner tables. Disagreed loudly and respectfully about border policies and trade agreements.I had never once questioned which side she stood on.But Garrett had been certain. And Garrett was not the kind of wolf who made claims without ground to stand on.I was still sitting there when my office door opened at first light and Garrett himself walked in. He looked like he had not slept either. There was dried mud on his boots from the eastern tree line.He sat down across from me without being invited."Talk to me," I said.He put both hand

  • Luna's Reckoning    Chapter 30

    Marcus POVThe alert howls pulled me out of a dead sleep.I was on my feet before my eyes fully opened. Six years of leading a pack had trained my body to move before my brain caught up. Boots on, jacket grabbed, out the door in under a minute.Outside the compound was pure chaos.Every light was out. Warriors moving in all directions calling out positions to each other in the dark. Two wolves dragging an unconscious guard away from the southern fence. Garrett nowhere in sight which meant he was already handling something.I grabbed the nearest warrior."Report," I said."Four intruders came over the southern fence," he said. "Lights went out simultaneously, looks like the generator was cut deliberately. We have three intruders down and one who got away through the eastern tree line.""Casualties?" I said."Dara is unconscious," he said. "Head injury. Two other guards took hits. Nobody dead.""Aria," I said."Safe," he said. "She is in her cabin with Beta Silvercrest."I let out a sl

  • Luna's Reckoning    Chapter 29

    Damien's POVDarkness swallowed everything.Not the normal darkness of a compound at night where your eyes adjust after a few seconds and shapes start forming out of the black. This was different. Every light source gone at exactly the same moment. Torches, cabin windows, gate lamps. All of it cut off like someone had reached up and switched off the moon.Garrett's hand was still on my arm."Do not move," he breathed. So quiet I felt the words more than heard them.I did not move.From somewhere near the southern fence came the sound of footsteps. Fast and light and deliberate. Moving with the kind of confidence that only comes from knowing exactly where you are going in the dark.More than one person.I counted four sets of footsteps before they spread out and became impossible to track individually."The guard who went down," I breathed. "Is he dead?""I do not know," Garrett said.A howl cut through the darkness from the northern watchtower. Short and urgent. The alert signal. Some

  • Luna's Reckoning    Chapter 28

    Damien POVThe person standing in the shadows did not move.Neither did I.We just stood there in that dark corridor looking at each other for what felt like a very long time but was probably only a few seconds.It was Garrett.Marcus's Beta. The quiet serious wolf who managed the compound's daily operations, coordinated the guards, sat in on every preparation meeting with that calm unreadable expression of his.The wolf with the scar running through his left eyebrow.He looked at me steadily. No guilt on his face. No panic. No attempt to explain why he was standing outside my door in the middle of the night. Just that same calm expression he wore everywhere he went like a second skin.That calmness was more frightening than anything else he could have done."Beta Silvercrest," he said quietly."Garrett," I said.We stood there."You know," he said. It was not a question."I know," I said.He nodded slowly. Like we were discussing something perfectly ordinary. Like this was a normal c

    Damien's POVI stared at what I had written on that paper.The scar through the left eyebrow.My hand was not moving anymore. The pen just sat there between my fingers doing nothing while my brain tried to catch up with what my gut already knew.I recognized that description."Beta Silvercrest," Colt said quietly. "Are you alright?"I set the pen down slowly."How certain are you about the scar?" I said."Completely," he said. "It was the first thing I noticed about his face."I stood up and walked to the window. Outside the compound was dark and quiet. Same torch at the gate. Same guard on his slow round.Six days ago I had been at Moonridge packing one bag into a regional council vehicle that Marcus Ashwood had sent for me. Four hours through pine forest and mountain roads thinking about every wrong choice I had ever made.I had come to Redwood territory believing I was finally doing the right thing. Finally choosing my daughter over everything else. Finally being the father I shou

  • Luna's Reckoning    Chapter 26

    Damien's POVI could not sleep.I had not slept properly in weeks but tonight was different. Tonight the ceiling above my narrow bed felt lower than usual. The walls closer. The darkness heavier.I kept thinking about that note.Cross had met with someone the previous night. Two hours. In secret. And whoever had slipped that note under Aria's door wanted her to believe it was me.I sat up and pressed the heels of my hands against my eyes.The worst part was that I understood completely why she would believe it. Why anyone would believe it. I had given everyone more than enough reasons to assume the worst of me. Six years of choosing Kael over my own daughter. Six years of telling myself I was maintaining order, serving the pack, doing my duty.Six years of cowardice dressed up in official clothing.I got up and sat in the small chair by the window. Outside the compound was dark and still. A single torch burning at the far gate. One guard making his slow round along the eastern fence.M
