Moonbound Hearts CHAPTER 63 – Morrigan’s Quiet Trap
The restrictions began the next morning.Lyra noticed it before anyone bothered to tell her, because Silvercrest had a way of making cruelty feel like routine. The pack didn’t announce punishment with shouting or chains.They did it with quiet doors closing.With lists she was no longer on.With eyes that refused to meet hers.Lyra stepped outside her cabin just after sunrise, intending to head to the training ring. Her body ached for movement, for discipline, for anything that would keep her mind from spiraling back into Tobias’s warning.A faction.An oath.A weaponized legend.She was halfway down the path when she saw them.Three scouts.Not two.Three.They stood at the bend in the trail like they had been placed there deliberately, their posture stiff, hands resting too close to their blades. Their faces were carefully neutral, but their eyes gave them away.Suspicion.Not protection.Lyra slowed.The scout in front, a young wolf named Jace, shifted awkwardly. “Lyra.”Lyra’s gaz
Moonbound Hearts CHAPTER 62 – The Name That Cannot Be Spoken
The documents remained spread across Tobias’s table like an open wound.Lyra stood over them, arms crossed tightly, her mind racing as if it couldn’t find solid ground. The lantern light flickered, casting shadows over the inked names and dates, making the records look alive, like they were whispering.Tobias didn’t move for a long time.He simply stared.His eyes followed the pattern Lyra had drawn, tracing the repeated border points, the missing wolves, the erased details. The longer he looked, the more his face hardened, as if he were watching history reveal its teeth.Lyra broke the silence first. “So it wasn’t just Morrigan.”Tobias’s fingers tightened around the edge of a parchment. “No.”The answer was quiet, but it hit like a hammer.Lyra’s stomach twisted. “Then who?”Tobias lifted his eyes slowly. In the dim light, he looked older than Lyra had ever seen him, as if the weight of what he knew had finally settled onto his bones.“There are names in Silvercrest,” he said, “that
Moonbound Hearts CHAPTER 61 – The Hidden Pattern
Lyra didn’t wait for permission.She didn’t wait for daylight either.The moment the pack settled into its uneasy evening silence, she returned to her cabin and pulled out the folded papers she had stolen from the archive days earlier. The parchment smelled of dust and ink, but beneath it all was something else: authority.Council ink.Council lies.She laid the sheets across her small table and smoothed them carefully with her palms. Patrol assignments, border maps, and rotation schedules. Several names were scratched out so roughly the paper tore. Routes had been rewritten in hurried strokes, and margins carried small coded notes meant only for trained eyes.Lyra stared at the ink until it blurred.It was too deliberate.Too consistent.Sabotage wasn’t just happening.It was being managed.She reached beneath her bed and pulled out another bundle of older pages. Tobias had given her weeks ago when she first started asking questions. He had claimed they were only “history records,” b
Moonbound Hearts CHAPTER 60 – Desire vs Duty
Ronan didn’t return to Lyra’s cabin after their brief contact.He left before dawn, silent and controlled, as if staying one more second would have made him forget the world outside her door. Lyra watched him go without stopping him, her palm still warm from his grip, her body still humming with the steadiness his touch had brought.It should have made her feel safe.Instead, it made her furious.Because now she knew.She knew his hands could calm her storm. She knew his presence could anchor her power. And she knew he had chosen distance anyway, not because the bond was wrong, but because the pack demanded sacrifice.Lyra stood alone in her cabin for a long time, staring at the faint crack in the floorboards beneath the rug. Her breathing was even, her aura quiet, but her heart felt restless, like it didn’t know where to settle anymore.After putting on her cloak, she went outside.The park grounds were already stirring. Warriors moved toward patrol duty. Scouts checked supplies. Mot
Moonbound Hearts CHAPTER 59 – The First Touch of Acceptance
Lyra didn’t answer Ronan right away.His confession sat between them like a wound exposed to air. The words were heavy, not because they were comforting, but because they confirmed what Lyra had already suspected.The council wasn’t afraid of her power.They were afraid of what her power meant.And Ronan had chosen silence to keep her alive.Lyra’s throat tightened as she stared at him. The torchlight from the small wall lantern cast sharp shadows across his face, carving him into something both familiar and foreign. His eyes looked tired, not with exhaustion, but with the kind of strain that came from fighting himself every waking moment.Lyra’s voice came out low. "So you chose to break me before they could."Ronan flinched slightly.The reaction was quick, but real.Lyra stepped back, shaking her head. "Are you aware of how it felt? Watching wolves whisper about me like I’m poison? Being followed like I’m a criminal? Hearing Morrigan speak about me like I’m a curse?”Ronan’s jaw ti
Moonbound Hearts CHAPTER 58 – A Private Confession
The pack didn’t speak after Ronan’s declaration.They simply stared.Lyra felt the weight of their silence pressing against her skin as she stood at the edge of the training ring, heart hammering like it was trying to escape her ribs. Ronan’s voice still echoed in her ears, not as a warning, but as a claim.No one touches her.The words had not sounded like leadership.They had sounded like instinct.Possession.Truth slipping out before he could bury it.Lyra turned away before anyone could read her expression. She didn’t want them to see the heat rushing through her veins, the violent pulse of the mate bond tightening around her chest.She walked quickly, forcing her legs to stay steady even as her mark burned beneath her sleeve. Wolves parted for her without speaking, their eyes wide, unsettled, confused by what they had just witnessed.Lyra didn’t look at Morrigan.She didn’t need to.She could already feel Morrigan’s satisfaction sharpening in the air like a blade being drawn.Th
