Asher

For a terrible moment, I saw only the words.

Little Luna.

Scratched into the inside of the coffin's lid.

Not carved with a blade. Not written in ink.

Scratched.

Dragged into the wood by something sharp enough to splinter the oak but patient enough to make sure we would be able to understand.

I felt Savannah go utterly still beside me. I felt the moment she stopped breathing.

My hand found hers before I thought to move. Her fingers were cold. Too cold. I closed mine around them and stepped

  • Moonbound to a Human   Chapter 52: The Dead Speak in Borrowed Voices

    SavannahThere wasn't a better word for it. Screamed.The wardline screamed.It wasn't a howl or a crack. Not the deep, uneasy hum I had felt beneath the floors of the estate.It. Screamed.The sound tore through the trees, through the snow, even through the frozen ground beneath my boots. Every wolf around me flinched. Even Asher. His shoulders tightened, claw already pushed through his fingers, his body planted between me and basically the zombie standing at the edge of Sector Four.Tobin Marr.Or that who they said he was.The thing wearing his body stood with one hand raised, palm outward. Something pulsed under his skin like a wound that was breathing. The wardline shimmered around him. Gold. Gray. Wrong, parting as if it hated itself for obeying.I sucked in a sharp breath. My pendant burned against my chest."Asher..." I whispered, pressing a hand over it."I know."His voice rough. Not scared.But furious. Protective. Close to letting Nero run rampant with teeth and no patien

I felt the moment she stopped breathing.My hand found hers before I thought to move. Her fingers were cold. Too cold. I closed mine around them and stepped half in front of her, using my body like a shield so she wouldn't see the words. It didn't work.She had already seen them.The name that Valtheris called her in the vision now stared up from a dead man's empty grave.Nero rose so fast beneath my skin that my bones ached."BLOOD."Not a word.A demand.Garren and Ilyra shifted back as my power rolled through the cemetery. Snow stirred over the graves. the lantern flames bent low, trembling toward the ground.Rowan's voice cut through the dark.

  • Moonbound to a Human   Chapter 50: The Dead Man's Oath

    MabelTobin Marr's name should not have been on anything. Not a ward report. A patrol legder.Not even beneath Silas Vane's signature as if the dead had suddenly taken up ink and duty again.I stared at the folded report on the table, and for a deep, irritating moment, I had nothing sharp to say."Tobin Marr couldn't have signed those reports." I said.Asher's voice dropped. "You're certain?""One hundred percent.""How?"The answer rose through me like an old bruise.Because I had seen him, knelt beside him as I washed the ward ash from his hair and blood from his face. Because I wrapped his body myself while everyone around me argued about rogues and revenge."I was the one to prepare him for burial." I said.The room changed after that.Caius went quiet in the doorway. Savannah's hand tightened around Asher's."If he's dead..." Savannah whispered, "how did his name appear on reports from..." She paused and looked a the paper in Asher's hands, "three weeks ago?""That I do not know

  • Moonbound to a Human   Chapter 49: Beneath Trusted Eyes

    SavannahBy the time we were ready to leave the medical wing, the orders were given. Caius was to find the warkeepers without making it look like he was finding anyone at all. Mabel was to dig through old records for permissions buried beneath years of council dust. Rowan was to stay exactly where he was, pretending to sit down.No one had liked their orders but everyone obeyed them anyways. Rowan's glare followed us to the door."I can feel you glaring Row." Asher said without turning around."I heard you the first time." "Then obey the first time.""I am sitting aren't I?" "You are leaning forward like a problem waiting to happen."Caius, already halfway out the opposite door with one hand pressed tightly to his side, muttered, "To be fair, this is his natural state."Rowan shot him a look sharp enough to cut cloth. Caius quickened his pace and disappeared around the corner. Mabel snapped her fingers at Rowan. "Hey now. Back against the chair, or I start using straps.""You wo

  • Moonbound to a Human   Chapter 48: Old Oaths and Open Doors

    RowanHer silence was enough of an answer. "Mabel..." I sat back, ignoring the sharp pull in my side.Her eyes lifted to mine."He inherited the old kind." She started. "Blood-oath permissions. The kind used before written law caught up with magic. Council elders could touch the outer ward in emergencies without waiting for the Alpha's direct command."Caius stared at her. "That, is extremely stupid.""Well, it was made during a war.""My statement stands." I exhaled slowly. "If his permissions were still active..." I said, "he would not need to break the wardline at all. He would only need to persuade it to open."Mabel's expression darkened. Caius muttered something quick under his breath that sounded very close to a curse.If Silas was guilty, then Valtheris had found someone old enough, bitter enough, and powerful enough to give weakness a shape. But on the off chance that he was innocent, then someone went through alot of trouble to make it look like he wasn't. Both option

  • Moonbound to a Human   Chapter 47: Cracks in the Stone

    Rowan I retreated back to the doorframe, leaning against it and breathing heavy. "Rowan... Are you okay?" I heard Asher ask behind me. I turned just enough to send white hot pain through my ribs. I hissed and pressed my hand against my side.Mabel appeared and pulled my hand away, her gaze dropping to my side. I followed it.Red had begun seeping through the fresh bandage, not much but enough that her expression sharpened into something murderous. "Medical wing. Now." She snapped"Mabel-" I tried to respond."Don't you Mabel me. Move your ass.""I'm fine.""You are bleeding through my work. Now move it, before I move you."I looked past her, back into the study.Asher stood beside his desk, rigid as stone, while Savannah remained close to him. His mother's records lay spread before them, and the cedar box cast a faint glow across the paper."I need to be in there..." I thought to myself."No. You need to be close to them." Grim pressed against my mind.I huffed and turned from the
