Three days passed.

Cass grew stronger each morning. His body filled out. The hollows in his cheeks vanished. The grey in his hair did not return. He ate with the pack, ran with the pack, trained with the pack. But at night, he belonged only to Luan.

She learned the shape of him again. The scar on his chest. The callus on his palm. The way he sighed in his sleep. She had memorized him once, before he died. Now she memorized him again. Deeper this time. Hungrier.

On the fourth morning, Holt came

  • Moonstruck   Chapter 64: The Hollow Mountain

    Ember slept for three days.The tiny wolf did not wake. Did not eat. Did not move. She simply lay curled against Hope's warm belly, her starlight fur rising and falling with each shallow breath. Hope did not leave her side. The honey-colored wolf watched over the small creature with golden eyes that had once been hungry and were now something else entirely.Luan checked on them every hour.Is she dying? Mira asked on the second day.Luan knelt beside the tiny wolf. She pressed her hand to Ember's chest. The heartbeat was there. Faint. But there.No, Luan said. She's becoming.Becoming what?Luan did not have an answer.On the third night, the mountain screamed.Luan woke to the sound of stone cracking. The ground shook. The cabin walls trembled. Cass was already on his feet, pulling her toward the door.What is it? she asked.He pointed.The mountain was splitting open.A fissure ran from the peak to the base. Gold light poured from the crack. It was not the warm gold of the first wol

  • Moonstruck   Chapter 63: The Blood Price

    The hunger returned three nights later.Not Hope. Hope was sleeping by the fire, her honey-colored fur rising and falling with each breath. This was something else. Something that had been hiding beneath the first wolf's bones, waiting for Luan to lower her guard.Luan woke to find herself standing in the clearing, her claws extended, her teeth bared. She did not remember leaving the cabin. She did not remember shifting. The moon was full. The pack was gathered around her, their eyes wide, their bodies tense.Cass stood in front of her. His hands were raised. His gold eyes were steady.Luan, he said. Come back.She tried to speak. The words would not come. Her body was not her own. Something else was driving her. Something ancient and hungry and desperate.The thing inside her spoke through her mouth.Give me the wolf, it said. Its voice was hers but not hers. Deeper. Older. Colder.Cass did not flinch.No, he said.The thing laughed. Luan's body shook.Then I will take her.It lunged.

  • Moonstruck   Chapter 62: The Mark

    Hope changed after the mountain.Not in size. Not in color. Something deeper. The small wolf carried itself differently now. Its golden eyes held memories that did not belong to it. Its silence was heavier. Its gaze lingered on the horizon, on the mountains, on the space between the trees where the shadows pooled.Luan watched it from the cabin porch.She's grieving, Cass said, sitting beside her.Hope is a she now?Cass shrugged.She told Mira this morning. Said it felt right.Luan looked at the small honey-colored wolf. Hope was lying in the sun, her golden eyes half-closed, her tail curled around Mira's sleeping form.I didn't know hunger had a gender, Luan said.Cass took her hand.Hope isn't hunger anymore.Luan squeezed his fingers.No, she said. She isn't.Mira woke first.The girl sat up, her brown hair tangled, her brown eyes blinking in the afternoon light. She looked at Hope. The small wolf opened her golden eyes.You were dreaming, Hope said.Mira nodded.I dreamed of the

  • Moonstruck   Chapter 61: The Shadow's Past

    Hope asked to see the mountain.Luan hesitated. The mountain held the first wolf's bones. The first wolf's power. The first wolf's oldest wounds. Hope was born from those wounds. Luan did not know what would happen if the small honey-colored wolf saw where it came from.But Hope's golden eyes were steady.I need to understand, Hope said. What I was. What I am becoming.Luan looked at Cass. He nodded.Then we go together, Luan said.The three of them walked to the mountain as the sun rose. Hope stayed close to Luan's side, its small paws silent on the fallen leaves. Cass walked on Luan's other hand, his hand in hers.The climb took most of the morning.Hope did not tire. The small wolf moved with a grace that surprised Luan. It had never had a body before. It had never felt the sun on its fur or the wind in its face. But it moved like it had been running for centuries.When they reached the base of the peak, Hope stopped.The bones were there. Massive. Golden. Pulsing with light.Hope

  • Moonstruck   Chapter 60: The First Night of Hope

    Hope slept by the fire that night.The small honey-colored wolf curled into a tight ball, its tail covering its nose, its golden eyes closed. The pack sat around it in a loose circle, watching, waiting, marveling. No one had ever seen a hunger become something else. No one had ever seen the unchangeable change.Luan sat apart with Cass. Her hand was in his. Her eyes were on Hope.Do you think it will last? she asked.Cass was quiet for a moment.I don't know, he said. But it's lasted this long. That's more than anyone thought possible.She leaned into him.I'm scared, she said. Not of Hope. Of what happens if Hope fails. If the hunger comes back. If I lose control again.He pulled her closer.Then we'll be here. The pack. Sol. Me. We'll be here.She closed her eyes.The fire crackled. The pack murmured. Hope sighed in its sleep.Luan opened her eyes.Where is Sol?Cass looked around. The silver wolf was not by the fire. Not at the edge of the clearing. Not by the river.It was gone.L

  • Moonstruck    Chapter 59: The New Hunger

    The thing inside Luan woke differently that morning.It did not claw. It did not scream. It did not demand to be fed. It simply opened its golden eyes and looked at the world through hers. Confused. Curious. Quiet.Luan sat up in bed. Cass stirred beside her.What is it? he asked, already reaching for her.She pressed her hand to her chest. The heartbeats were still there. Four of them. Hers. Cass's. The black wolf's. The first wolf's. But the hunger that had been pacing and prowling and consuming was gone. In its place was something that had no name.It's different, she said. The hunger. It's not hungry anymore.Cass sat up. His gold eyes were wary.What is it, then?She closed her eyes. She reached inside herself, toward the thing that had been her enemy and was now something else. It did not recoil. It did not attack. It simply waited.I don't know, she said. It's never existed before.The thing stirred. Not with hunger. With something else. Curiosity.Luan opened her eyes.It want

  • Moonstruck   Chapter 57: The Breaking Point

    The hunger stopped sleeping.It prowled behind Luan's ribs day and night, a constant presence, a low thrum of want that never faded. She could feel it watching through her eyes, tasting through her tongue, listening through her ears. It wanted. It always wanted.Cass noticed first. He always notice

  • Moonstruck    Chapter 55: The Bond Under Siege

    The hunger returned that night with teeth.Luan woke screaming. Not from pain. From something worse. Something that clawed at the inside of her chest, demanding to be let out, demanding to be fed, demanding to consume everything she loved. Cass was already awake. His hands were on her face. His gol

  • Moonstruck   Chapter 2: The Taste

    Luan did not sleep that night either.She lay in bed with her hands folded on her chest and stared at the ceiling. The apartment was dark. The blinds were drawn. Everything was in its place—the books on the shelf, the clothes in the closet, the single mug on the counter. She had spent years making

  • Moonstruck   Chapter 1: The Stray

    The dog was not going to make it.Luan Hale knew this the way she knew the tremble of a failing heart under her palm—instinct honed by three years of night shifts, two hundred and forty-seven emergency surgeries, and the quiet, brutal education of watching things die when they should have lived.Th
