REJECTED BY THE MOON MARCUS'S TURN
Marcus's Turn"Can I ask you something, and you tell me honestly if I've overstepped."Marcus said it without preamble, catching me at the training yard fence before I'd even set down the water skein I'd carried out for the morning session, frost still clinging to the lower rails in the early light, the whole yard hushed in that particular quiet that belongs only to the hour just after dawn, before the guards had begun their drills and the noise of the day had fully settled over the grounds."You haven't overstepped yet," I said, setting the skein down at the fence post. "Ask.""Do you think confession is contagious," he said, "or do you think I've simply been waiting for permission to say something I should have said years ago.""Maybe both," I said. "What is it."He trailed his fingers along the frosted rail as we fell into step together, leaving faint dark lines where his warmth melted through, and I watched him gather himself the same slow, deliberate way Victor had in that small
REJECTED BY THE MOON THE TRUTH BETWEEN THEM
The Truth Between ThemI found Kieran in the entrance hall, standing at the window that had become, over these last weeks, something like our private meeting place, and told him plainly that Victor needed to speak with him, tonight, about something that couldn't wait any longer."Do you know what it is," Kieran asked."Yes," I said. "But it isn't mine to tell you. He needs to be the one who says it."Kieran studied my face for a long moment, and I watched him decide not to press further, some old trust between us holding steady even under the weight of clear worry, though I saw his jaw tighten slightly, bracing himself for something he couldn't yet name.Victor arrived a few minutes later, and I made to leave, giving them the privacy the conversation deserved, but Kieran caught my hand before I'd taken two steps."Stay," he said. "Whatever this is, I'd rather you were here."I stayed, standing a little apart from them near the window, and felt strange, suddenly, standing witness to a
REJECTED BY THE MOON WHAT VICTOR CARRIED
What Victor CarriedHe was waiting for me in the small study off the guards' quarters, a room I'd never once had reason to enter before tonight. It was sparse and functional, a narrow desk pushed against one wall stacked with duty rosters nobody had bothered filing away, a single lamp burning low between two mismatched chairs, the kind of room built for reports rather than anything a person might actually want to say out loud in it."You could have chosen somewhere less like an interrogation," I said, taking the seat across from him, the chair's wood cold even through my skirts."I chose somewhere private," Victor said. "There's a difference, though I understand why it might not feel that way tonight."He didn't speak again for a long moment. He turned a small carved token over and over in his fingers, wolf-shaped, worn smooth along every edge, and I watched him open his mouth twice and close it again before any sound came out, the silence stretching long enough that I nearly reached
REJECTED BY THE MOON ELEVEN DAYS
Eleven DaysI woke to a soft knock before the sun had fully risen, and found Akira waiting in the hallway, her expression carrying an urgency that pulled the last traces of sleep from my mind instantly, her robes hastily thrown on over her nightclothes in a way that told me she hadn't paused to dress properly before coming to find me."There's something in the library," she said. "It happened overnight. I wanted you to see it before anyone else did."She left me at the library door rather than following me in, standing back with a deliberateness that felt, in the moment, like its own kind of kindness, and I understood, crossing the threshold alone, that she'd meant for me to read it first, in private, before the weight of it became something the whole circle discussed together over breakfast, dissected and analyzed before I'd even had the chance to simply feel it.The damaged ledger sat open on the table, exactly where we'd left it, except now an entirely new page had filled itself wi
REJECTED BY THE MOON WHAT THE TEST COST
What the Test CostI found Elara in the library three days later, staring at a blank page instead of reading anything on it, her expression distant enough that I nearly turned around before she noticed me standing in the doorway."I tried to remember the color of the dress you wore to my sixteenth birthday," she said, without looking up, her fingers idly turning the corner of the empty page over and over. "I couldn't. Not the shade, not the fabric, nothing. It should be an easy thing to remember. We danced in that dress until your feet blistered and you had to walk home barefoot, and you complained about it for a week afterward.""Maybe you never remembered it that clearly to begin with," I said, settling into the chair across from her, though I didn't fully believe my own reassurance even as I offered it."Maybe," she said. "Or maybe the chamber took something small from me that night, the way it took something small from all of us, and none of us thought to ask exactly what before w
REJECTED BY THE MOON THE TEST
The TestWe went to the sanctuary two days later, the full circle of us this time, Kieran, Akira, Kaiden, Elara, Victor, Marcus, and Priya, who'd insisted on coming despite Kieran's initial hesitation, arguing that if she was going to offer to help carry a piece of my memory in twelve days, she'd rather understand exactly what that offer meant before the eclipse forced her to learn it under pressure."You don't have to be afraid," I told her, as we descended into the tunnel together, lanterns raised against the damp dark, the passage narrower than I remembered it, cold radiating off the old stone walls close enough on either side to brush my shoulders."I'm not afraid for myself," Priya said. "I'm afraid of what it will cost the people I love to stand beside you in that chamber, and I'd rather understand that cost now, while there's still room to prepare for it properly, instead of learning it for the first time on the night everything actually depends on it."We walked the rest of th

CHAPTER 20.The hidden truth.As I stood in the middle of the pack's ancestral home, I felt the entire weight of my entire existence being placed on my shoulders.At that moment, the entire atmosphere was covered with the scent of old wood and dust. From what I could see, it was a reflection of the
REJECTED BY THE MOON CAPTURED BY THE UNKNOWN MEN
CHAPTER 3.As I ran back to my abode with a heavy heart, the thoughts of what surrounded me seemed to overwhelm me. It felt like there was a big eye which was watching all my movements. "Run... Run... Run...!" My inner wolf growled from the inside, and I melted down in fear. This was just the seco
REJECTED BY THE MOON RUNNING TO A NEW CITY
CHAPTER TWO.I was woken up by the sharp ray of sunlight directly on my eyes. "Are you okay?" I heard a blurry voice, and as I made to lift up my head, I felt a sharp ache on my head. My head was really hurting."Where am I?" I asked with an overwhelmed voice. "Stay still, Rory..." I heard Becky
REJECTED BY THE MOON MY REJECTION
CHAPTER 1.The atmosphere was cold and chilly. It was the winter season, and as usual, the soft breeze and melodious songs of birds could be heard.I sat in my room in absolute dejection. Today, was the day. The day when my destiny will be marked, and my future, rewritten. Few minutes from now, I
