Moonbound to a Human Chapter 38: Ashes Chose Her
AsherThe house trembled. Not violently like we were under attack. This was different.Older.Deeper.The kind of tremor that moved through the stone because something beneath it finally remember how to breathe.The box. My mother's box.The thing that had laid silent on my desk for years like a paperweight carved with grief. A relic. A warning. A memory made solid from cedar shavings, resin, and ash.Her ash. And not it was awake.Excitement tore throughme so fast my breath was stolen. For a moment, I wasn't an Alpha. Not the man with enemies pressing in on all sides or a Bloodborn bleeding somewhere beyond the trees.I was a son. A son hearing his mother's voice in the only way she had left. She approved. Of Savannah.Of my choice.Of the human woman standing in Mabel's medical wing with one hand pressed to her chest lieks he could hold the glow inside herself by force. Dread soon followed though.Because approval wasn't protection.If the box truly had awakened for Savannah, th
Moonbound to a Human Chapter 37: Cedar and Ash
SavannahThe ward line pulsed once.Long.Deep.The sound wasn't really sound, I more felt it through the floor, through the metal legs of the medical bed, through the bones in my ankles.It rolled through the house like a giant exhale.Then everything went still.Not calm.Just... still. Like the house had stopped breathing to listen.Asher's head snapped toward the door.Mable froze with one hand resting on the edge of the counter, her fingers curled against the wood. For once, she didn't bark an order or insult someone's intelligence. She just stared toward the hall, eyes narrowing, face drawn tight. Asher turned and looked at her. And she back at him. Then shrugged.A tiny, useless little shrug that made me want to throw something. I stared between them."Soooooo.... what was that?"Asher didn't answer right away.Which, by this point, I had learned usually meant that the answer was either bad, complicated, or something he thought I couldn't handle. My patience was starting to
Moonbound to a Human Chapter 36: Red Blood, Black Snow
RowanWhen my knee hit the wet ground, the second vampire flew over me, thrown my Caius's full weight, its body crashing into Valtheris before either of them could react.He caught the thing by the shoulder and shoved it away with disgust.Caius skidded to a stop near me, tawny fur streaked with black blood, one ear torn, teeth bared in a grin only a wolf could manage."Having fun?" I said, glancing his direction."I deeply regret having a big breakfast this morning. But yes." He huffed through the link."Good."The vampire scrambled upright again, half its face hanging loose from Cauis's bite. Valtheris wiped blood from his cheek with two fingers, then looked at the red smear as if it fascinated him."You two are more entertaining than expected." He rasped.I rolled my shoulders, grunting and ignoring the ache spreading through my back."Yeah? And you talk more than expected."Caius gave a low approving growl.The Bloodborn looked between us. The amusement in his face began to fade i
Moonbound to a Human Chapter 35: Fear in the Snow
RowanValtheris laughed and when he did, something cold slid through me. Cold enough to become calm.The vampire shrieked in front of me, rotten chest split and spilling into the pristine snow. Black blood pooling hot and foul by its feet. It staggered backward, hands clawing uselessly at the ruin I made of it. I didn't give it time to recover. Grim surged beneath my skin, not separate from me but through me. Bone-deep. Breath-deep, all teeth and instinct. I caught the vampire by the throat. Its dead eyes widened."You messed with the wrong house." I growled.I drove my claws from my opposite hand up beneath its jaw and tore. The thing came apart with a cracking, wet sound that echoed through the clearing. Black blood sprayed across the snow and steamed where it hit, eating tiny pits into the frost. The vampire's body hit the ground in two heavy pieces, twitching once before going still. Fast,Messy.Finished.Caius made a choking some somewhere to my left."Well that was-"The se

RowanThe Bloodborn's smile didn't falter. If anything, it sharpened.The vampire in front of us swayed slightly, its dead eyes fixed somewhere near my throat, but it didn't move without being told to. That was what made my stomach tighten. It wasn't hunger holding it back. It was command.The Bloodborn stood behind it like a shadow wearing skin, pale and elegant and wrong in way that made Grim snarl loudly beneath my skin. Caius shifted beside me, just enough that his shoulder nearly brushed mine."Rowan..." he murmured through the side of his mouth."I see it." The Bloodborn's gaze slid to Caius, who went still.Not afraid, but every ounce of humor drained from his face."Such a fast little thing..." It rasped, "You were difficult to follow.""I get that a lot." Caius said his eyes never leaving the Bloodborn.It chuckled. The sound was dry. Thin. Like bones being lightly tapped against stone. My claws lengthened another fraction."Why are you here?" I demandedThe Bloodborn look
Moonbound to a Human Chapter 33: I Came to Hunt
RowanThe cold air hit harder once I reached the edge of Sector 4. Out here, away from the house and it's humming wards, the forest felt bigger. Hungrier. The trees pressed close in thick black rows, their branches clawing across the waning sun like crooked fingers. Snow dusted the ground in uneven patches, broken here and there by boot prints and paw prints. Sector 4 had always been quiet, but usually not this quiet. That was the problem.Quiet meant something was holding its breath,I stopped at the edge of the forest, fingers curling slightly as I listened through the link. Caius was close.I could feel him before I saw him. His pulse was frantic, though his thoughts were sharp with adrenaline. Then he broke through the trees at a run, boots skidding in the frost as he caught himself against a pine.Caius was built for speed, not bulk. Lean, long limbed, with sandy brown hair that had been shoved back one too many times and now stuck up in every direction, making him look like a
