Chapter 318

XENOIS

I couldn't breathe.

Standing in the foyer of my parents' estate, surrounded by the deafening silence of an abandoned home, I felt like someone had reached into my chest and squeezed my heart until it stopped beating.

They'd left. My parents had actually left.

Not temporarily. Not on vacation. They'd dismissed staff who'd been with our family for decades, locked up the house, and disappeared without a single word to their son or their grandson.

Without warning. Without explana

  • Rebirth Of The Broken Luna: A Second Chance at Luna's Heart    Chapter 505

    Chapter 505THORNEThe stuffed wolf gave us the road. The road gave us a direction. North. Toward Harlan's territory.Of course it was Harlan's territory.Shawn came running into the yard at nine last night, holding that soaked grey wolf up over his head with both hands, his fists still glowing blue. The kid Chase was right behind him, out of breath, shouting the mile marker before he even reached us. *Highway 9, northbound, mile forty-two. Forty-two. On the shoulder.*Xenois came out of the house. He saw what Shawn was holding and stopped dead on the porch steps.For a second nobody moved. Then Xenois walked down the steps and took it out of Shawn's hands, very carefully, like it might fall apart. He held it against his chest. He bent his head over it. His shoulders shook once.Then he looked up at Shawn.He didn't say thank you. He didn't say sorry. He just put his hand on the back of Shawn's neck and pulled him in until their foreheads touched. Held him there. Three seconds. Then l

    Chapter 504SHAWNChase's gran lived in a crooked house at the end of a dirt road, surrounded by more cats than I could count.I stopped counting at nineteen. There were cats on the porch, cats on the fence, cats on the roof of the car the second we parked. Two goats stood in the yard eating a rose bush and glaring at us like we owed them money."Don't look the brown one in the eye," Chase said as we got out. "He's got opinions."I didn't look the brown one in the eye.Nobody at the Blackwood house noticed I left. That was the thing. Day two of Ollie being gone, and the house was full of trackers and healers and elders and wolves from three different packs, and I walked out the front door and down the drive and nobody said a word. Hollis saw me and looked away. Thorne was on the radio. Xenois was in the woods with Kingston.I was the witch-wolf who knew. That was all anybody saw now.Chase picked me up at the end of the road in his little green car that rattled when it went over forty

    Chapter 503LUMINAHe's scared.I don't know how I know. I don't know who he is, not really. I can't hold his name. It keeps slipping through my fingers like water.But I know he's mine.I know his fear the way I know my own heartbeat. Cold and sharp and tight. He's somewhere small and dark and moving, and someone has hurt him, and he's so, so tired.There is no time here. That's the first thing you learn in the grey, if you can call it learning. No mornings. No nights. No clocks. Just the fog, soft and endless, and the quiet that never ends. I don't know how long I've been here. A day. A hundred years. Sometimes I think I can feel seasons moving somewhere far above me, like weather on the other side of a thick window. Sometimes I think I've been here forever, and everything before was a dream.But I have one thing.A face. Small. Laughing. Dirt on its cheek. Eyes screwed shut with joy.I don't know whose face it is. I hold it anyway. I hold it the way you'd hold a candle in a storm,

    Chapter 502OLLIEThe van smelled like oil and wet dogs.They didn't keep the brown car. They drove it a long way first, on bumpy roads and then a big loud road, and then they stopped at an old farm where nobody lived. There was a van in the barn, white and rusty, with no windows in the back. The scar man threw me in the back like a bag of shopping. The red-beard man pushed the brown car into a ditch and covered it with branches."Leaks oil," the scar man said. "They'll be following that."I thought, *Good. Follow the oil. Please follow the oil.*My hands were tied in front of me with a plastic strap. Too tight. My fingers were going numb. The scar man said if I screamed, he'd put tape over my mouth. So I didn't scream.I listened instead."North," the scar man said, driving. "There's a pickup point. Old ranger station. The buyer sends people there.""Who's the buyer?" the woman asked. She sat in the back with me. She wouldn't look at me anymore.Her name was Della. I heard the red-be

    Chapter 501XENOISThe trackers found the fire by evening.Old Bram found it, actually. Kingston's tracker. Seventy years old, half deaf, walking with a stick, and he went through those wet woods like a hound on a fresh trail. He stopped every few hundred yards, put his nose almost on the ground, breathed in, and moved on without a word. My own trackers followed him like puppies.We started at the cliff road, where Lake had landed. The wildflowers were still there. Bram crouched by the bent guard rail for a long time, breathing in. When he stood up, he gave me a strange look."Something's wrong with this place," he said."What do you mean?""Smells like grief." He shook his head. "Old grief. Too old for flowers this fresh."Then he turned north and walked into the trees.A small clearing, two miles north of the river road. Ashes, still a little warm. Sausage wrappers. An old blanket, soaked through, tangled in a bush at the edge. Tire tracks in the mud, heading north. And three scents

    Chapter 500DOMINICI brought twelve trackers from Boulder Creek. My best. Older wolves, most of them, with noses that could follow a scent across a frozen lake.Old Bram led them. He was seventy and half deaf, and he'd once tracked a lost pup through a snowstorm for two days straight with a broken ankle. When I called him at five in the morning and told him what I needed, he didn't ask why. He just said, "Give me twenty minutes," and hung up.I didn't ask permission. I just drove to the Blackwood border with my convoy and called Xenois from the gate.The Blackwood guards didn't like it. Six of them stood across the road with their arms folded, watching my trucks like they expected us to come out shooting. One of them had already radioed someone. I could hear his voice crackling. *Kingston's here. Kingston's at the gate. Yes, him.*He came out himself. He looked like hell. Red eyes, rumpled clothes, his jaw tight. There was mud dried on his trousers up to the knee and something that l
