Elliot

I clutch the pocket watch in my hand letting the cool metal press against my palm as a memory floods my vision.

“What are you doing?” Clare asks.

“Immortilzaing it.” I say, pushing the pin down into my grandfather's watch to freeze the ticking of the slim hands.

“What are you talking about, El? You know sometimes you're as confusing as a salmon swimming downstream.”

Clare scrunches her little nose and her eyebrows twist up.

“This moment, the moment I was sure you're my mate. I want us to remember it forever.”

Her face melts into something between happiness and awe. “You feel it to?”

“I’ve always known it was you. I was just waiting for nature to catch up.”

“It's getting late.”

That familiar sandpaper voice pulls me from my memory. “Sorry mother, didn't know it was past my bed time.”

I stare at the fire, it seems brighter than it was just moments ago.

The log shifts as he sets his hulking mass down beside me.

“If you're here to give me shit, I have to warn you that I'm not in t

  • Reborn Luna   180. The pup

    RhysWe’ve put miles between us and Silver Fang territory by the time the moon climbs high enough to silver the treetops.Not enough for comfort—but enough that the air starts to feel different. Less sharp. Less hunted.Still, I don’t slow the pace until Stevie finally raises a fist and the line eases to a stop on a shallow ridge overlooking a narrow valley. The people we pulled out are barely holding together. Exhaustion hangs on them heavier than fear now. Pups whimper softly, adults slump where they stand, and even the warriors move like their bones are filled with sand.Among them, Lina keeps going.She walks steadily, the small pup cradled against her chest, shadows still clinging to all of us like a second skin. It’s thinner now, fraying at the edges, but it’s there—and I can see the cost of it written all over her.Sweat beads along her brow despite the cold. Her breathing is controlled but shallow. Her shoulders are tight, jaw locked, eyes focused straight ahead like if she lo

  • Reborn Luna   179.Temporary housing

    TiriannaI don’t know how I end up on the welcoming committee.One moment I’m standing outside the half-finished longhouse, counting crates of dried grain and arguing with myself about whether we have enough blankets for another fifty bodies. The next, someone shouts my name and I’m being told another clan is cresting the ridge.I rub my palms against my thighs and breathe.I don't even recognize my life anymore. Once I had a purpose I knew exactly what I stood for and what I would do to protect my family and those I cared about. I was a queen then I was a prisoner now I'm… I have no idea what I am anymore.Everything I dedicated my life to is gone.The only thing I have left is this war and Lilith.But I can't keep her forever. Soon she'll find a mate and start a family of her own and I'll be here trying to figure out what to do with the scraps of the life left before me.Steady, my Lycan murmurs, low and coaxing. You lead. That is what we do.Lead. Right.Funny thing is, most mornin

  • Reborn Luna   177.Blood and home

    LinaThe camp is quiet in the way only predators can manage—no wasted sound, no careless movement. I tighten the straps on my pack and roll my shoulders, letting the weight settle where it should. The night air kisses my skin, cool and sharp, carrying the promise of danger.Blood and home, my Lycan murmurs, restless beneath my ribs. Both close.I’m ready, I say softly.I don’t need to look up to know he’s watching me.Rhys steps out of the shadows like he owns them. Moonlight cuts across his face, carving hard lines into an already brutal kind of handsome. His moonstone gaze drags over me—checking weapons, scent, posture—like he’s cataloging every possible failure point.How is it possible for a male to cause this amount of activity to my nerves.“You’re late,” he says.His voice scrapes against my spine, that gravelly tone making things I rather ignore swoop low in my belly.“I’m on time,” I reply. “You’re just early.”His jaw flexes. He stops too close, heat rolling off him in waves

  • Reborn Luna   176.The plant specialist

    StevieThe checkpoint towards Silver Fang is a shallow bowl in the land, ringed by granite ribs and a stand of old pines that knot together like they’ve been whispering secrets for centuries.We chose it because it hides heat and scent, because wind slips around it instead of through it, because the stars above look like they’re minding their own business. I drop my pack and roll my shoulders, feeling the ache of distance settle into bone.We’re safe enough, my Lycan murmurs, pacing the inside of my skin. For now.“Circle’s good,” Leif says quietly. The tracker from Thorne’s clan moves like he’s half-shadow, half-forest nymph. He presses his palm to the earth, inhales. “Nothing crossed this bowl in the last day.”He looks around as if he’s cataloguing every blade of grass and spec of sediment.Sig and Hiro split without being told, both from Devon’s clan, both built for violence and restraint in equal measure. Sig starts a fire with practiced efficiency, no sparks wasted. Hiro sets pe

  • Reborn Luna   175. Food first. Then people

    HopeI wake from my nap with the disorienting sense that time has slipped sideways on me again. Sunlight spills across the floor in warm stripes, and my wolf stretches inside my chest like she’s been coiled too tight for too long.Keith must have put into bed when I fell asleep.Up, she urges. We’re late.I groan softly and sit up, rubbing my face before my hand slips down to cup my belly that feels heavier than it did yesterday.Lately it feels like my natural state vacillates between waking up and just about to fall asleep.Luna or not, there’s always something I should have done already, someone I should already know. I swing my legs over the side of the bed and breathe through it.I should be used to the Lotus pack by now, use to the faces and the smells. I should know how everything works and who's good at what. It's one of the good Luna does and how she serves her pack. And it's another thing Camille stole from me.All that time locked up in his castle ripped me away from when I
