REJECTED BY THE MOON THE WEIGHT OF CHOOSING
The Weight of ChoosingFourteen days. I woke to the number the way I woke to most mornings now, the count settling into my chest before I'd even opened my eyes, a small, constant pressure that had become as familiar as my own heartbeat.Kieran found me in the training yard before the household had fully stirred, my palm pressed flat against the dead oak's cracked bark, trying, as I did most mornings now, to call something out of it without waiting for fear or danger to force the power loose on its own."Anything," he asked, settling beside me."Nothing yet," I said. "Though I think I felt it want to, for just a second, before it settled again.""That's more than nothing," he said, and I let myself believe him, mostly because I needed to.We sat together in the cool morning air, and I found myself turning over everything Priya had told us the day before, the shape of the Keepers growing larger and colder in my mind the longer I sat with it."I keep thinking about what she said," I told
REJECTED BY THE MOON ELARA'S MOTHER
Elara's MotherWe went to see her the next morning, Elara and I together, the way I'd promised.The walk to her mother's cottage took us past the edge of the training grounds, and I caught myself glancing at the dead oak Kieran and I had spent so many mornings failing to wake, its bark still bearing the faint crack we'd never managed to widen past that first afternoon."She's going to know why we're here the moment she sees both our faces," Elara said, her hands twisting together the same way they had in the library two days before."She always could read me like that. It used to make lying to her impossible when I was young.""Then we won't lie," I said. "We'll ask her plainly, and let her decide how much of the truth she's ready to give us."Elara's mother, a woman named Priya with silver threading through dark hair much like Akira's, met us at her door with an expression that told me Elara was right.Whatever composure she'd meant to hold onto slipped the instant she saw us standin
REJECTED BY THE MOON FIFTEEN DAYS
Kaiden, Victor, and Marcus returned just before dusk. I felt the tension in the courtyard ease slightly the moment I saw all three of them ride through the gate intact, though Kaiden's expression carried a weight that told me the journey hadn't been simple, whatever they'd found waiting for them out there in the fading afternoon light."You found it," I said, meeting them as they dismounted. My eyes moved over each of them in turn, cataloguing every scrape and shadow for signs of a danger I hadn't been there to witness."I found it," Kaiden confirmed, unstrapping a weathered leather satchel from his saddle with careful, deliberate hands, as though the object inside deserved more reverence than the speed of the moment allowed."Buried exactly where I remembered, though the forest's grown up considerably around the spot in twenty-three years. It took longer than I expected to be certain I hadn't mistaken the location entirely.""Anything follow you back," Kieran asked, scanning the tree
REJECTED BY THE MOON WHAT MIREILLE KEPT
Kaiden left at first light with Victor and Marcus, the three of them riding out before the household had fully woken. I spent the morning in the library with Akira instead, working through what remained of the damaged founding text, piecing together fragments of the release clause one careful phrase at a time.My eyes strained against the cramped, archaic script until the letters seemed to swim on the page.The work was slower than I wanted it to be. Akira worked beside me without complaint, her focus unbroken, and I found myself grateful, more than once that morning, for the particular steadiness she brought to every task no matter how frustrating it became.I understood now, better than before, some measure of what that steadiness had cost her over the years. All the silences she'd kept. All the grief she'd carried quietly rather than burdening anyone else with it."I don't know how you've done this for decades," I said at one point, setting down the fragment I'd been squinting at f
REJECTED BY THE MOON THE OLDER MARK
Akira spent two days with the damaged ledger before she found anything worth bringing to the rest of us. Two days during which the castle carried on its ordinary rhythm above the quiet, careful investigation running underneath it.Guards rotated through their usual patrols, maids went about their usual duties, and everyone performed normalcy while the truth waited to surface in a locked archive none of them knew to fear.I spent those two days training beside Kieran each morning, then sitting with Akira through the long afternoons. More than once I caught myself staring at the maids as they moved through the halls, cataloguing which ones lingered a beat too long near my door.I hated myself a little more each time for the suspicion, even as I couldn't seem to let it go."You're doing it again," Elara said, catching me watching one of the younger maids cross the courtyard. Her voice was gentle enough that it didn't feel like an accusation."Deciding whether she's the one," I admitted.
REJECTED BY THE MOON THE EMPTY PAGE
The Empty PageThe castle felt different that evening, every familiar hallway carrying a new weight."I hate this," Elara said, sitting with me as the last light faded. "I hate that I'm looking at people I've known my whole life and wondering which of them sold you out.""I know," I said. "I keep doing the same thing."Kieran called the inner circle together that night, doors locked, guards posted outside with orders to admit no one."Someone with access to this castle has been feeding information out," Kieran said. "I want no accusations without evidence. But I want everyone thinking carefully about who's had opportunity.""My mother came to my room the night before the hearing," I said. "She told me about a wanderer who said I carried old blood. She never said Morwenna's name. But if she knew that much, she might have known more.""You don't think," Elara started."I don't know what to think," I said. "I want to believe what she told me was real. I also know she spent months looking

CHAPTER 22.Secret Truth Following the incident of the past day, I've now learned to be more careful while expecting the worst to happen.As I walked through the dark atmosphere, I couldn't help but wonder what had happened to Akira, as a result of yesterday's drama.However, I was going to meet h
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
