MARKED BY MOON The True Alpha
Kian POV The words hang in the room long after Sable slips into unconsciousness, and I feel the floor tilt under me in a way it hasn't since the night my father died and left this pack in my hands at twenty-two.The true Alpha is coming home."That doesn't make sense," I say, pacing the small healer's room, my mind refusing to settle on any explanation that isn't terrifying. "I am the true Alpha. I've held this title for three years. There's no rival claim, no contested bloodline""Unless there is," Luna says quietly, "and nobody's told you."I stop pacing and look at her. Her face has gone carefully blank, the way it does when she's protecting herself from a thought too painful to let show."Elena," she says. "My mother. If she was your father's sister, and if she had a child before me a child born to carry the Voss bloodline directly instead of hidden away through adoption""Then there could be an older claim to this pack than mine," I finish, the words tasting like poison. "A sib
MARKED BY MOON Chasing Ghosts
Luna POV Sable survives the night, but barely. The pack healer works over her for three hours while Kian and I stand outside the door doing nothing but listening to muffled instructions and the occasional sound of Sable's ragged breathing."This is my fault," Kian says quietly, staring at the closed door. "I should have had guards on her the second Cassia's plot came apart.""You had a burning building and a captured traitor to deal with," I say. "You can't be everywhere.""I'm the Alpha. I'm supposed to protect this pack.""You are protecting this pack," I say, and something in my voice surprises even me, the steady, certain voice of someone who's spent five years learning to fight for things instead of running from them. "You're doing it right now, standing outside this door instead of locking yourself away in guilt."He looks at me, something raw and grateful passing behind his eyes, and for a moment the weight of everything: the fire, Declan's betrayal, the impossible truth abou
MARKED BY MOON The Name I Never Knew
Kian POVI watch the color drain out of Luna's face as she reads whatever's written on that paper, and every protective instinct I have surges at once."Luna." I move closer. "What is it?"She doesn't answer right away. Her hands tremble around the paper's edges, her eyes scanning it over and over like she's hoping the words will rearrange themselves into something less impossible."This says my mother wasn't my mother," she finally says, voice barely above a whisper. "It says I was born to someone named Elena Voss."The name lands in the room like a physical blow.Voss. My family's name."That's not possible," I say, though even as the words leave my mouth I feel the ground shifting under everything I thought I understood about my own bloodline. "My father had one sister. She died before I was born. Elena.""Died," Luna repeats hollowly. "Or disappeared, the way everyone assumed I did?"Sable, still standing in the doorway, looks like she might be sick. "My mother kept this hidden fo
MARKED BY MOON Ashes and Answer
Luna POVWe reach the east wing to find flames already climbing the stone walls, smoke pouring black and thick through the hallway I walked twenty-four hours ago looking for proof of exactly this kind of corruption."Water line's this way!" Kian shouts, already tearing his shirt off to wrap around his face. I follow, my lungs burning, my eyes streaming.By the time the fire crew gets it under control, the records room is gutted. Ash where the requisition forms used to sit. Ash where every shred of documented proof against Cassia's network used to exist.Except one thing.The form is still folded inside my boot, where I put it the night I found it. The original evidence. The only piece of paper in this entire pack that hasn't burned.I haven't told anyone that yet. Not even Kian. Some habits from five years of training don't die just because a bond woke back up in my chest.We stand outside the smoking ruin of the east wing as dawn cracks gray over the tree line, both of us soot-streak
MARKED BY MOON What the blood remembers
Kian POVDeclan's teeth were an inch from Luna's throat when I hit him.I didn't think so. I didn't plan it. My body just moved, and my jaw closed hard around his shoulder, and the two of us went crashing into the council table. Wood cracked under us like dry bone. Somewhere behind me, Cassia was snarling as three younger wolves pinned her against the wall.This was my best friend. The man who taught me how to throw a punch when we were kids. The man who stood next to me the day my father died and told me I could do this, I could lead this pack, I wasn't alone.And right now he was trying to kill the woman I just called my mate in front of the whole council.Luna didn't wait for me to process any of that. She slammed her weight into Declan's side, and I felt him flinch through the bite still locked in my jaw. Blood hit my tongue, hot and metallic. Through the chaos, I felt her sharp, focused, angry and for one strange second in the middle of all this violence, something in my chest se
MARKED BY MOON My mate
KIANA POVHer name is Luna.I repeat it in my head like a chant, like if I stop I'll lose her again the way I lost her five years ago.I don't know how I missed it. The eyes, once I looked past the color hiding them. The scent, familiar since the second she crossed my threshold, that I was too much of a coward to name because naming it meant admitting what I did to her. My wolf hadn't settled once since she arrived pacing, restless, already knowing what I refused to.Five years ago I stood in front of my whole pack and rejected the girl the moon herself chose for me. I did it because the elders told me a bond formed at seventeen was weakness, that a future Alpha needed a clear head, that love could wait until I'd proven myself. I believed them because I was scared and young and desperate to be enough. I've spent every year since learning exactly how wrong that was.Now she's back under another name, and Cassia stands before the council like she's already won."Alpha." Cassia doesn't h
