Moonstruck Chapter 46: The Mating Moon
The moon hung low and heavy over the valley, fat and silver and ancient. It was the kind of moon that made wolves restless, that stirred the blood and sharpened the senses and whispered promises of things that could not be taken back.Luan felt it the moment she stepped outside the cabin. The air was thick. The night was warm. The hunger in her chest was not the hunger of the curse. It was something older. Something that had been waiting.Cass came up behind her. His hands settled on her hips. His lips brushed her ear.Do you feel it? he asked.She leaned back against his chest.Yes.The pack was already gathered around the fire. But they were not eating. Not talking. Not telling stories. They were watching the moon. Wolves in human skin, waiting for something.Sol lay at the edge of the clearing, its golden eyes fixed on the sky. Kael sat beside it, his newly healed leg stretched out, his gold eyes bright. Mira was asleep against her mother's shoulder, too young to feel the pull. But
Moonstruck Chapter 45: The Healing
Kael's leg would not heal.The bone had been broken for weeks. Maybe months. He had run on it. Fought on it. Hunted on it. The damage was deep, and the curse had stopped caring about keeping him whole. He was burning out. His body was giving up. The grey in his fur had spread to his muzzle, his paws, the tip of his tail. His eyes had faded from yellow to a pale, watery gold. He moved like an old wolf. He was twenty-eight years old.Luan found him by the river the next morning, staring at his reflection in the water. His injured leg was tucked against his chest. His breathing was shallow.It won't heal, he said without looking up. I've tried everything. Silver. Herbs. The old songs. I even asked Sol to look at it. Nothing works.Luan sat beside him on the cold ground. The river rushed past. The sun was rising behind the mountains, turning the water to gold.Have you tried letting someone help you? she asked.His pale eyes met hers.I don't know how to let anyone help me. Marcus taught
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
