MOON MARKED BY THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER TWENTY SIX
SKYE'S POV The winter did not ease its grip, but inside the lower quarters, the cold had lost its teeth. For the first three days after the confrontation at the distribution hub, Garrow did not show his face. But on the fourth morning, Kael reported that the former Elder had been spotted at the eastern gate, holding a wooden shovel with blistered, shaking hands, silently clearing the heavy drifts alongside a group of bricklayers. He didn't speak to anyone, and no one spoke to him, but he cleared his section. The mountain was a hard teacher, but it was fair. If you didn't bow to the truth, you bowed to the shovel. I stood in the high library of Nighthaven, the pale morning light filtering through the narrow, leaded-glass windows. The room was vast, smelling of old parchment, dried cedar, and the faint, sweet scent of the beeswax candles that had replaced the heavy tallow of the old regime. On the long table before me lay the ancient land-grants—parchments so old they crumbled at th
MOON MARKED BY THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE
SKYE'S POV The deep winter of the northern peaks did not announce itself with a sudden, dramatic blizzard. It crept in like a predator stalking through the high timber, dropping the temperature degree by degree until the very stones of Nighthaven seemed to hum with a brittle, freezing tension. When I woke, the fire in the hearth had burned down to a pile of glowing, cherry-red embers. The heavy velvet curtains were drawn, but the ambient light bleeding through the thick fabric was a stark, brilliant white. I shifted on the massive bed, the thick fur blankets rustling around me. The space beside me was empty, the linens already cold, though the faint, sharp scent of pine and dark musk still lingered on the pillow. I sat up, pulling a heavy wool shawl over my shoulders, and hissed as my bare feet touched the freezing stone floor. My left leg felt tight, the skin knitting together under the herbal poultices the healers had applied the night before, but the sharp, stabbing pain was go
MOON MARKED BY THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR
SKYE'S POV The tension in the Great Hall did not vanish with the breaking of the bread, but it shifted. It became something heavy and manageable, like a massive stone that had finally been balanced on its pivot. Alpha Bradley chewed the dense rye slowly, his yellow eyes never leaving my face. Behind him, the Ironwood warriors watched their leader with a quiet, tense focus. In the southern territories, survival was a hard math of winters and calorie-counts; they did not have the luxury of Nighthaven’s courtly illusions. If their Alpha ate our bread, it meant the Ironwood would not bleed for a dead Council. But it did not mean they were ready to bow. "The bread is soft, and your words are sharp, girl," Bradley said, wiping a crumb of caraway from his thick beard with the back of his hand. "But winter is three months of ice, not a single feast in a warm hall. You talk of five-percent tariffs and open gates. How do we know the King doesn't simply wait for the snow to block the passes b
MOON MARKED BY THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER TWENTY THREE
SKYE'S POV The winter’s first snow was a quiet thing. It didn't howl through the mountain passes or rattle the high stained-glass windows of the castle; it simply drifted down in fat, lazy flakes, dusting the jagged edges of the black basalt peaks until the valley looked like a charcoal drawing washed in milk. I stood by the heavy oak table in the center of the royal chambers, watching a small, pale orange flame dance atop a single beeswax candle. With the temple dry and the Council’s vaults opened, the servants had offered to bring up the expensive scent-oils and the massive silver candelabras that had once decorated Garrow’s private study. I had sent them back. The simple beeswax candle smelled of honey and summer fields, a scent that didn't try to choke the air of the room. It reminded me of the small communal table in the lower quarters—a memory that felt more precious than all the gilded metal currently being cataloged in the courtyard below. A soft knock rattled the thick wo
MOON MARKED BY THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER TWENTY TWO
SKYE'S POV The silence that followed the crash of the golden statue was heavy, thick with the smell of old dust and pulverized stone. Garrow stared down at the hollow bronze head resting by his boots, his face transitioning from a furious red to a pale, translucent gray. The other six Elders looked no better. They huddled together like sheep trapped in a corner by a sudden storm, their hands trembling, their eyes darting toward the high, narrow windows of the sanctuary as if expecting the heavens to open up and strike me down for what I had just done. The heavens remained perfectly, mockingly silent. "The rings, Garrow," I repeated, my voice steady, cutting through the cavernous room. "And the sigils of the southern mines. Take them off." "You... you cannot do this," Garrow stammered, his voice cracking. He tried to draw himself up, to find some scrap of the aristocratic dignity he had worn like armor for fifty years, but his knees were shaking under his dark tunic. "The charters
MOON MARKED BY THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
SKYE'S POV The silence that settled over Nighthaven after the water shifted was different from the heavy, suffocating dread of the valley basin. This was the quiet of a siege that had ended before the first arrow could fly. From the high windows of the tactical chamber, we could look down toward the temple plaza. The grand, white-stone structure that had dominated the upper ring of the city for three centuries looked frozen in the pale, pre-dawn light. The great fountains that had constantly bubbled with glacial runoff—a display of wealth and purity meant to show the commoners that the gods favored the Elders—had sputtered to a muddy halt. The marble basins lay empty, gray and slick with river-silt. "They are already starting to scramble," Kael said, his boots clicking softly on the flagstones as he returned from the observation deck. He had shed his heavy gauntlets, but his hand still rested naturally on his crossguard. "Our scouts report that the temple guards are refusing to man
