Moon Touched Chapter 21: What broke through
The warm cup was still in her hands when she heard them.Two wolves outside the cabin wall. Speaking low. The kind of low that wasn't quiet enough."He sat with her all night.""You don't know that.""Brin saw him leave her cabin at dawn. Everyone knows."A pause."She's been here eight days.""I know.""Eight days and she's already…" A pause. "Lena was a pack for three years before he looked at her like that."Silence."I'm not saying she's bad," the first voice said. "I'm saying we don't know what she is. We don't know where she came from. We don't know what she wants." Another pause. "And he's already…""Careful.""I'm just saying what everyone's thinking."Footsteps. Moving away.Selene stood in her cabin with the warm cup in both hands and looked at the door.She waited until the footsteps were gone.Then she drank the rest of the cup.Put it down.And went to training.Dian was already there.Of course he was.He looked at her when she arrived. One look. The kind that checked ev
Moon Touched Chapter 20: What she remembered
She fell asleep thinking about the vial.About Vara’s pause when Selene said no. The way she had simply nodded and put it away, like the answer had confirmed something.I came to see what you’d do.That thought followed her into sleep.And then she was somewhere else.Not a dream.A memory.Sharp. Fixed. Waiting.She was four years old.The world was too big, her hands too small, her legs moving because they could. She ran through the trees, laughing to herself, the air cool and alive.“Selene.”Her mother’s voice.She turned.Aelith stood between two trees, watching her with that familiar expression Selene somehow recognized instantly, love and worry woven together.“Don’t go too far.”“I won’t. I’m just running.”“I know.” Aelith smiled. “Come back soon.”Selene nodded, and ran further.Because soon felt like a long time.Because she didn’t know it was the last time.The fire came without warning.One moment the settlement breathed, voices, light, life. The next, the sky was orange.
Moon Touched Chapter 19: What vara wants
Selene heard her coming.Not footsteps. Just a shift in the air. The specific quality of someone who moved like they had never once in their life needed to announce themselves.She didn't turn around.She was at the water basin outside the main cabin, washing her hands after training, and she kept washing them while Vara stopped a few feet behind her and waited."You can say whatever you came to say," Selene said."I haven't decided how to start," Vara said pleasantly."Take your time.""I will." A pause. "You're getting better. The training. I watched this morning from the ridge."Selene dried her hands.Turned around.Vara was dressed simply. Hair loose. She looked, not threatening. Not cold. Just a woman standing in the morning light having a conversation.That was always the problem with Vara.She looked so reasonable."What do you want?" Selene said."To talk." She gestured toward the bench outside the cabin wall. "Sit with me.""Why?""Because I have things to say and I'd rather
Moon Touched Chapter 18: What kael kept
Kael didn't go back to his cabin after he left Selene's.He walked to the edge of the settlement instead. To the place where the wards ended and the forest started and the darkness was thick enough to stand inside without being seen.He stood there for a long time.The note was still in his coat pocket.He didn't need to read it again. He'd read it eleven times before he knocked on Selene's door. He knew every word. The specific way they'd written it, clean, simple, no unnecessary cruelty which was somehow worse than if they'd been cruel.Bring us the Moon-touched. Or Mira doesn't see her next birthday.Clean. Simple.Like a business transaction.Like his daughter was a line item.He pressed his back against the nearest tree and looked at the sky through the branches and did the thing he only did when he was completely alone.He let himself be afraid.Not the managed fear. Not the controlled assessment of threat and response that fifteen years as beta had built into his bones.Just… a
Moon Touched Chapter 17: What he never said
She found him at the grave.She hadn't been looking for it. She'd been walking the settlement perimeter the way she'd started doing in the evenings, learning the shape of the place, where the wards were strongest, where the shadows pooled, and she turned a corner behind the eastern cabins and there it was.Two markers. Simple stone. Side by side under an old pine.And Dian sitting in the snow in front of them with his elbows on his knees and his head down.She stopped.He didn't hear her this time.Or if he did he didn't move.She stood there for a moment. Thought about leaving. Thought about the pendant at her throat and her mother's voice and don't waste it being careful.She walked forward and sat down beside him in the snow.He looked up.Looked at her.Looked back at the markers.Neither of them said anything for a while.The pine moved overhead. Snow fell from a branch in a soft collapse. The settlement sounds were distant here. Deliberately distant, she suspected."You don't ha
Moon Touched Chapter 16: What she can't hold
He was already at the training ground when she got there.Of course he was.The sun wasn't fully up yet. The snow was blue-gray in the pre-dawn light and her breath fogged in front of her and she could see him from thirty feet away, steady and even, because apparently Dian didn't have an unsteady breath in his entire body.He was standing in the center of the cleared ground with his arms crossed and his eyes on the tree line.He heard her coming.He always heard her coming."You're late," he said."You didn't tell me a time.""Dawn.""It's dawn.""It was dawn eight minutes ago."She stopped beside him and looked at the tree line he was looking at. Nothing there. Just trees."Are we waiting for something?" she said."No." He turned to face her. "Take off your coat."She looked at him."It's freezing.""Yes.""You want me to take off my coat.""The cold will help you focus." He held her gaze. "Take off your coat."She took off her coat.The cold hit her like a wall. She kept her face ne
