  • One Luna, Three Alphas   Inside the Walls

    KiraAshwood looks different walking in beside three of its own instead of dragged between guards with my hands bound.The training grounds I passed hours ago as a prisoner now register as something closer to a neighborhood, wolves sparring and laughing and calling insults at each other with the easy familiarity of people who've known each other their whole lives. Children chase each other between buildings. Someone's cooking something that smells like rosemary and roasted meat, and my stomach clenches so hard at the scent that I have to consciously stop myself from stumbling toward it like an animal.Toren notices too. His hand tightens in mine, and when I glance down at him his eyes are wide, cataloguing everything the way I taught him to, though there's something else underneath the wariness now, something that looks almost like longing."It's big," he says quietly."It is.""Bigger than Thornvale was."I don't answer that, because I don't trust my voice to hold steady if I try. Th

  • One Luna, Three Alphas   The walk back

    RhysI've spent my whole life learning how to watch things closely enough to understand them before they finish happening. Tracking teaches you that. So does being the third of three brothers who all move faster and louder than I do. You learn to read a room, a trail, a person, before anyone else in the room realizes there's something worth reading.I still didn't see this coming.We walk a few paces behind Elias and Kira at first, letting them talk, though I catch most of it anyway, the particular cadence of her voice when she's deciding how much of herself to hand over to someone she doesn't trust yet. Careful. Measured. Nothing wasted. I recognize that kind of carefulness. I've built my own life around a version of it."You're quiet," I say eventually, falling into step beside her when the trail narrows enough to shift our arrangement."I've been talking plenty," she says. "Your brother's just better at filling silences than I am.""That's not what I meant." I study her profile, th

  • One Luna, Three Alphas   Toren

    Kira*The forest doesn't look the same going back.Fear sharpened every branch and shadow on the way in, every root a potential threat, and now, walking between two men who could tear apart anything that came at us without much effort, the same stretch of trees feels almost ordinary. Almost."You keep looking at the trees like they've done something to you," Elias says, breaking the quiet we've been walking in for several minutes."Habit." I glance at him sideways. "You spend enough time out here alone, you start reading everything as a threat until proven otherwise.""That sounds exhausting.""It is." A beat. "It's also why I'm alive."He doesn't answer right away, and I watch something complicated move across his face, admiration tangled with something darker, something that looks almost like anger on my behalf, though I can't imagine why a stranger would feel that on my account."How long were you tracking that rabbit," Rhys asks from my other side, his tone deliberately light, lik

  • One Luna, Three Alphas   What he doesn’t Say

    KaiI've never been good at sitting still, but today I don't have much choice.Elias and Rhys are somewhere past the eastern border by now, escorting a woman I've known for less than an hour to retrieve a brother she's spent eight months protecting alone, and I'm here, in the training yard, throwing punches at a post that hasn't done anything to deserve it.I hit it again. It doesn't help.Normally I'd have something to say about all of this. That's what I do, what I've always done, take whatever's too heavy to carry seriously and turn it into something I can laugh at instead, something that doesn't sit in my chest like a stone. I've built an entire personality out of that particular skill. Nobody expects Kai to feel something too deeply, and that's exactly how I've always wanted it.I don't have a joke for this.I smelled her an hour ago and something in me simply stopped being mine anymore, some old, careless version of myself replaced instantly by something that wants things I don'

  • One Luna, Three Alphas   She asks for One Thing

    KiraThey lead me into a wide hall with high beams and a long table at its center, and I count exits out of habit before I even register how many people are watching me do it.Six council members besides the alpha and his sons. Two guards behind me. No easy way out if this goes badly, and I already know, somewhere in the exhausted, calculating part of my brain that never fully shuts off, that it might."Bring her closer," says the man at the head of the table. Older, silver threading through dark hair, the kind of stillness that comes from decades of being obeyed without needing to raise his voice. "Let her stand where we can hear her properly."The guards walk me forward until I'm standing alone in the open space, wrists finally free but no less exposed for it. Elias, Kai, and Rhys have taken seats near their father, and even seated, even composed, I can feel all three of them watching me like I might disappear if they look away."I am Aldric," the older man says. "Alpha of this pack

  • One Luna, Three Alphas   Three at Once

    EliasI'm halfway through reviewing patrol rotations that don't need reviewing when the runner finds me, and I know before he opens his mouth that whatever he's about to say is going to undo the rest of my day."Alpha." He uses the title that isn't technically mine yet, the way the younger pack members do anyway, like saying it enough might make it true sooner. "The eastern border's been breached. Someone crossed in. The patrol's got her contained, brought her down to the dungeon."Something shifts low in my chest, sharp and unfamiliar. "Contained how. Is anyone hurt.""No, Alpha. Clean catch.""Does Father know?""Already told. He wants you and your brothers to come assess her before anything's decided."I nod once and start walking, the restlessness that's been sitting under my skin since this morning finally finding somewhere useful to go. My father's words from a few hours ago are still turning over in my head, the way they have been all day, no matter how many patrol rotations I'
