Moonbound to a Human Chapter 59: The Wolf and The Man
AsherMy grip loosened. I would be damned before I treated her like a prisoner for it."Look at me." I said.She did."If something hurts you, you stop. Immediately.""Asher-""Promise me."Her expression softened."You're cute when you're being protective." She teased. "I promise I'll be careful."I gave her a look.She sighed delicately."That's the best promise you're getting mister."Despite everything, I felt the corner of my mouth twitch."Stubborn little thing..."Her smile grew warmer."You knew that when you found me.""God's help me. I do. And I love her for it."Nero rumbled his approval.Savannah turned toward the darkness again, carefully slipping her hand from mine."I think power frightens men like you most," she said, "when it blooms somewhere you were certain nothing ever should."Her pendant flared, gold swept across the crypt floor.The black wax split with a sharp crack, and a jagged line raced through Silas's seal.Mabel inhaled sharply."Girl..."Savannah swayed
Moonbound to a Human Chapter 58: The Wolf Beneath My Skin
AsherRowan froze, rigid.Mabel's face oozed color."What did you just say?" she asked.Savannah stood before me, her delicate hand hovering inches from my chest. Her fingers trembled, and the pendant resting against her throat cast a warm golden light across her frightened face. "I can see..." she whispered, her voice soft and breathless, "I'm not sure how I can explain it."I stared at her."See what, little one?"Her eyes lifted to mine, wonder sparkling."There's something inside you. A... uh...shape?" She swallowed, struggling to find the words, "It's outlined in gold. It's like it's not separate from you but still different? If that makes sense..."Nero went completely still in my chest."She sees me?"I had no answer for him.For as long as I could remember, Nero had been a part of me ever since I turned 16. His instincts were mine, his strength flowed through my blood, and his voice lived in the quiet places of my mind., We had fought, bled, and survived things together that
Moonbound to a Human Chapter 57: The Hollow Throne
SavannahMabel nodded grimly. "The Hollow Throne wasn't just a chamber. It was a rite."I looked to her. "A rite for what?"Her eyes moved to Asher, then lower, as if she was looking at something inside him that the rest of us could not see."It was a rite used to name the wolf when one came of age."The crypt fell silent. Even the blue flames seemed to stop moving.My brows pulled together. "I don't understand. Name the wolf? I thought that they would tell you their names... like in the stories..." "Not Exactly that. We are born with this gift from the Moon Goddess, but they don't manifest until the person turns 14. Each one of us, in our first shift, went through this rite. Each one of us recieved a name. My wolf's name is Vesper." Mabel said, softly tapping her chest."Mine is Zyra." Ilyra spoke up."Varek." Caius tried standing a little taller."And you already know mine." Asher's voice rumbled. "Nero.""Grim is mine." Rowan said through a grimace. "What about Silas?" I asked.As

SavannahMabel cursed.Rowan changed beside us. It was subtle.But I saw it.The bitter humor left his face. Then the pain. Then then anger. All of it peeled away until there was only the Beta beneath it, sharp eyed and honestly terrifyingly still despite the blood soaking through his bandages."What wants Nero?" he asked.The air around me seemed to cool to almost freezing. Silas smiled as the darkness around him slowly made its way up his skin, but he didn't answer.That made it worse, somehow.My fingers tightened around Asher's arm before I could think of moving. His body felt like stone beneath my touch, every muscle locked so tightly I could feel him trembling. I saw that Mabel kept looking from Silas, to me, to my pendant, to Asher. Her face went pale."No..." she said softly.Asher turned to her, his voice low. "What?"Mabel shook her head once, like the though already wounded her and she was trying to keep it from bleeding into the room."It's... It's not possible..." Silas

AsherMabel's eyes lifted to mine. Wet and furious. "Tobin could only touch the outer wardline." she said, "Your father was Alpha. His blood belonged deeper.""How deep?" Savannah asked.Mabel swallowed."The old house..."Savannah looked from Mabel to myself. "What does she mean?"Rowan looked sick."You can't mean..." Rowan hissed, "I mean I found fragments in old ledgers. Nothing complete. References that mentioned a chamber beneath the estate. Older than our current laws. Used way before succession rights were changed."Mabel closed her eyes and I knew. I knew the name she was about to say would be something ugly."The Hollow Throne." The blue glow from the flames guttered.Nero went still, too still, inside me."Asher?" Savannah's voice brought me back.I couldn't answer. For the first time since he emerged in me when I was a teen, Nero's silence didnt feel like restraint.It felt like... fear.Silas's smile returned. Small. Satisfied.Mabel looked down the narrow black passage
Moonbound to a Human Chapter 54: ...And beneath it
AsherWe moved through the cemetery toward the house as quickly as our feet would carry us.Not running. Running turned into fear, and fear turned into command. Running made warriors reckless, careless. Running made shadows into enemies and enemies into ghosts.I wouldn't give whomever is doing all of this that satisfaction.The estate rose ahead of us, dark against the winter sky. Every lit window looked fragile. Every stone looked as if it were waiting, holding its breath.Behind us, Garren wrapped Tobin's body in a dark cloth. The sight twisted something in my chest. That man had served my house, faithfully I might add, and when he died someone had made certain that the house never truly released him. I had a suspicion of who that person might be and the evidence that I have collected it pointing in that direction but I need direct proof to make my heart at ease. Someone had known, even in death, his body could still be useful if the right oath was left unbroken.Tobin Marr wasn
