Moonstruck Chapter 44: The Second Reckoning
Kael stayed.The pack watched him warily at first. He was Marcus's enforcer. He had killed. He had hunted. His teeth had tasted the blood of wolves who now sat by the same fire. But he did not make excuses. He did not ask for forgiveness. He simply sat at the edge of the clearing and waited.On the third day, Holt walked to him.Holt stood over the grey wolf. His scarred face was hard. His hands were clenched.You killed my brother, Holt said.Kael looked up. His yellow eyes did not look away.I know, he said.Holt's jaw tightened.Say it.Kael stood. He was smaller than Holt. Older. Weaker. His injured leg trembled.I killed your brother, he said. His name was Fen. He was brave. He was kind. He did not deserve to die.Holt's hands shook.Why did you do it?Kael was silent for a moment. Then he said, Because I was afraid. Marcus told me to kill or be killed. I chose to kill. I have regretted it every day since.Holt stared at him.The pack watched. Luan stood at the edge of the cleari
Moonstruck Chapter 43: The Visitor
The stranger arrived at dawn.Luan was sitting by the river, alone for the first time in weeks. Cass was still sleeping. The pack was still quiet. The water rushed past her feet, cold and clear. She was not thinking about anything. She was just being.Then she smelled it. Wolf. Not her pack. Not Vera's wolves. Something else. Something old.She stood. Her claws extended. Her eyes shifted to red.Show yourself, she called.The trees on the far side of the river rustled. A wolf emerged. Large. Grey. Male. His fur was matted with burrs and old blood. His eyes were yellow and wary. He limped as he walked.I'm not here to fight, he said. His voice was rough. Tired.Then why are you here?The wolf looked at the valley. At the cabins. At the smoke rising from the communal fire.I heard there was a new pack, he said. A pack where turned wolves don't burn. Where born wolves don't rule. Where a woman with red eyes binds the dead to her soul.Luan's jaw tightened.Who told you that?The wolf sat
Moonstruck Chapter 42: The Hunt Continues
Spring came to the valley.The snow melted. The river swelled. Flowers pushed through the wet earth—yellow and purple and white. The pack emerged from their cabins like animals waking from a long hibernation. They stretched. They blinked in the bright sun. They remembered what it felt like to be warm.Luan stood at the edge of the clearing and watched the world turn green.Cass came up behind her. His arms wrapped around her waist. His chin rested on her shoulder.What are you thinking? he asked.She leaned into him.I'm thinking about the first time I shifted. How much it hurt. How sure I was that I was going to die.And now?She looked at her hands. Human hands. Steady hands.Now I'm not sure of anything. Except that I want to stay here. With you. With the pack. With Sol.He turned her around to face him. His gold eyes searched her face.Then stay, he said.She smiled.I plan to.The pack decided to hunt that afternoon.Not because they were hungry. The stores were full. The river w
Moonstruck Chapter 41: The Night in the Cabin
The pack celebrated until the fire burned low.Sol lay in the center of the clearing, surrounded by wolves who had stopped being afraid. Mira was asleep against its silver fur. Holt sat with his back against a tree, his axe across his knees, finally relaxed. Wren and Sparrow were braiding each other's hair. Vera was crying quietly, tears of relief, tears of hope.Luan watched them from the cabin porch. Cass sat beside her, his shoulder pressed against hers, his hand warm on her knee.You're not celebrating, he said.She looked at the pack. At Sol. At Mira's small sleeping face.I'm watching, she said. That's my way of celebrating.Cass turned to face her. His gold eyes caught the firelight. His hand moved from her knee to her waist.I have a different way of celebrating, he said.She raised an eyebrow.Oh yeah?Yeah.He kissed her.Not soft. Not slow. The way he had kissed her in the between when they both thought they would never touch again. Desperate. Hungry. Needy.She kissed him
Moonstruck Chapter 40: The Silver Wolf
The pack did not know what to call the creature that had followed Luan down from the mountain.It was a wolf. That much was clear. Silver fur, golden eyes, four legs, a tail. But it was also something else. Something older. Something that had been darkness and hunger and grief for a thousand years and was only now learning to be solid.Holt kept his distance. Wren stayed in her human form, watching with wide eyes. Sparrow hid behind Vera. Even Mira, who had been the first to touch it, kept a few feet between herself and the silver wolf at all times.Only Cass walked beside it.He had no fear. Or if he did, he did not show it. He spoke to the silver wolf in a low, steady voice. Asked it questions. Waited for answers. Treated it like a wolf. Nothing more. Nothing less.Luan watched them from the cabin porch.She was tired. The journey down the mountain had taken most of the day. The weight of the first wolf's death pressed on her chest. But the silver wolf was here. It had chosen to fol
Moonstruck Chapter 39: The First Wolf's Last Dawn
The first wolf came to Luan in her dreams that night, but the dream was different. The field of moonlight was dim. The stars were fading. The great silver wolf lay on the grass, its head on its paws, its golden eyes half-closed.You're dying, Luan said. It was not a question.The first wolf nodded. Its breath came slow and shallow.I have been dying for a long time. I simply forgot to stop.Luan sat beside it. She placed her hand on its massive flank. The fur was soft. Warm. She could feel its heartbeat beneath her palm. Slow. Irregular.What happens when you die?The first wolf closed its eyes.My shadow will be free. It will no longer be tethered to me. It will become its own wolf. Its own hunger. Its own choice.Luan's chest tightened.Will it still want to destroy us?The first wolf opened its eyes. They were wet.I do not know. It has never been free before. It has never had to choose.Then help it, Luan said. Before you go. Talk to it. Tell it that it doesn't have to be alone.T
