Astrid’s POV

No one in Blackthorn knew how much I truly saw, to them i was useful only in the way one keeps an old map, only consulted when the path becomes unknown, they called me insightful, a bridge between territories, so much nonsense to make me feel good about what I knew I was to them. But they never suspected that I wasn’t merely advising on Hartmann matters, I had been there over and over again, I wasn’t invited there but I wasn’t noticed either by anyone who mattered, I learned the cadence of their nights and moved in accordance with and honestly, even I wasn’t sure what my motive was…yet

I listened.

And what I heard there followed me back to Blackthorn like a second heartbeat.The council chamber felt warm tonight with firelight dancing across the walls, the elders sat in their customary arc, I stood behind them, my hands folded loosely, my posture attentive, I actively tried to not appear too eager. It was something I had perfected, and this time, they were discussing the

  • Moonlight Knows My Name    Chapter 127

    Malik’s POVI could tell something was wrong when I entered, the air in her room felt off, I looked around to be sure all was well before stepping in, my senses stretched outward the way they always did when danger lingered toI close to the skin. Moonlight filtered through the window, pale and cold, catching the edge of the bed, the chair, the half-closer journal on her bedside table. Then I saw it, and I stopped dead. The wooden planks beside her bed were torn open with deep, violent gouges etched into the surface like the earth itself had been clawed in fury. My pulse slammed hard against my ribs.“Eve,” I said, my voice already tight.She was laying on the bed, arms wrapped around herself as though she were holding something together that wanted to come apart. She looked up slowly, too slowly, and in that pause I felt it that subtle shift in her presence, the way her energy no longer sat quietly in the room but pressed outward.“With the placement of that blanket, I know you weren

  • Moonlight Knows My Name    Chapter 126

    Eve’s POVI was running before I knew what I was running from.The ground beneath my feet burned, no, glowed me, etched with symbols that flared brighter with every step I took, as though the earth itself resented my weight. Silver light bled through the cracks between them, crawling upward like living veins. I tried to slow down, to understand where I was, but the air tore through my lungs too sharply, tasting of storms and old blood.Behind me, something breathed, I turned and the world split open.Silver fur filled my vision, it shimmered with a time of violence that made my bond ache, each strand of fur etched with symbols that changed when I tried to fixed on them, i didnt recognize the symbols, they didn’t look the ones i had been made used to These symbols hurt to look that, they twisted when my eyes lingered on them, rearranging themselves as though offended by my attention, some curved sharply, others bled into one another, forming shapes that felt wrong, totally indifferent

  • Moonlight Knows My Name    Chapter 125

    Dorian’s POVThe message arrived at a time I would later on resent for its ordinariness, I was reviewing inventory tallies in the western hall, a list i had memorized well enough to notice the discrepancies without squinting when the runner appeared at the threshold.“Hartmann,” he said. “They sent word.” That alone was enough to turn my mood sour, I set the ledge Mr aside aligning it with others. “We are not taking messages from Hartmann,” I replied not looking at him. “They insisted, stating that it was relevant.” He saidNothing about Hartmann was ever just relevant, it was always strategic, always spoken with one hand extended and the other hidden behind their back. “Leave it,”I said “They said it’s happening to them too.” He said hesistantly That made my hand still, I looked up then, meeting his gaze. “What is?” He swallowed. “The losses and…the sickness.” I took the message from him at last, the parchment already creased from being folded and unfolded way too many times.

    Eve’s POV I went to the river because it was the only place that still told the truth. blackthorn had many voices, but the most genuine was that of the river, it never softened itself for the elders or bristle under scrutiny the way the forest paths did I went to the river because it was the only place that still told the truth.Blackthorn had many voices, but the river did not lie. It didn’t soften itself for the elders or bristle under scrutiny the way the forest paths did. It moved as it always had unbothered about who ruled or who feared whom, if something was wrong, the river didnt hide it, if you listened close enough, if you looked well enough, it show you in ripples but today it was quiet I stepped down the familiar slope, my boots sinking slightly into the damp earth as the scent of wet moss clung to the air. The moon hung low and distant, it’s reflection stretched thin across the water like a sound that was yet to heal, I wrapped my arm around myself feeling as though the

    Malik’s POV Numbers to me might resist clarity at first glance, but they always resolve into truth if you stay long enough, it was one major rule i lived by Except that tonight, I stared too long but still they refused to settle tonight however, the numbers have refused to settle. I stared at the ledgers spread across the long table in the strategy room, my fingers pressed flat against the parchment as if the weight I was putting on it would force everything I was staring at to make some sense. The candles burned low with wax pooling like small white wounds beside the stacks of reports, meanwhile, outside the forest breathed slow and deliberate but inside my chest something had begun to churn, this was even worse than the first time it had happened…much worse At first, I wanted to believe it was seasonal strain, a harsh winter even, those losses that could be explained one way or another I flipped back three weeks and then six and then further, turns out that supplies that should
