Emily's POV

They came at dawn on the ninth day.

Not from the eastern border where we had fortified. Not through the southern gate where the sentries had been doubled. They were along the tree line to the west, the piece of ancient forest which lay nearest to the external wall of the keep, the one which had always seemed bad in the hours before daylight.

When the horn went off I was already awake.

Not three days had I slept well. The devil in my breast would not allow. It had turned and listened

  • Rejected Luna: Royal blood    Chapter 78

    I could not sleep that night.Not because of fear. Not because of the weight of what was coming. I lay next to Rollins in the dark and felt the First Power turning in my chest and I thought of what Claus had said at the boundary.Ask the power what it remembers.I had been careful with it for so long. Reaching in only when I needed something. Anchoring to the mate bond to stop it from pulling toward him. Managing it the way you manage something you do not fully trust.He had said it would show me. When I was ready.I decided I was ready.Rollins was asleep. I lay still and I closed my eyes and I reached into the First Power. Not to anchor it. Not to speak to the packs. I went to the deep place, to where the grief had been sitting since the sealing, and I went beyond it.Further than I had ever gone.It was not darkness.It was memory.Not my memory. Not the Royal bloodline's memory. Something older than both. The power's own recollection of what it had been before the sealing, before

  • Rejected Luna: Royal blood    Chapter 77

    He came back the next morning.Not with his force. Alone. Not with his force. Alone. Walking out of the tree line at the first hour after dawn, crossing the open ground toward the outer wall with the same unhurried pace as before. The outer scouts sent the single note. One sustained sound, then silence.I was already on the battlements when he reached the boundary marker.Rollins was beside me. Liam behind us. The inner gate was closed, the wall manned, but nobody had called the assembled packs to position. There would be no attack. We knew that now.Claus looked up at me."I want to talk to you," he said. "Not at a distance."Rollins said nothing. I felt his jaw tighten through the bond."Alone," Claus said."No," Rollins said. His voice ended in a command.Claus looked him over. Then back at me. He didn't fight him. He simply waited, the way he always waited, with the patience of something that had learned a long time ago that most obstacles resolved themselves if you gave them enou

  • Rejected Luna: Royal blood    Chapter 76

    We went out through the main gate together.All of us. Rollins in the lead, Liam at his right, Marcus at his left. The Ironclaw warriors following close behind. Shadowcrest, Voss's border wolves, the Ashenmere warriors led by Margot. The Fenrath at the rear, Sera's face calm and set.Two hundred wolves walking out through the gate of Ironclaw in full daylight, crossing the outer yard, moving toward the boundary marker.I walked beside Rollins.The First Power was quiet. Not straining, not pulling. Moving with me the way it had been moving since the night I asked it the question, the way something moves when it has found its direction and is no longer fighting itself.The boundary stone was a couple of hundred steps from the wall.Claus was already there.Not alone this time. He had brought perhaps thirty of his force to the boundary line, standing in a loose formation behind him. The rest stood in the tree line in the shadow. Watching.Claus stood next to the marker stone.He watched

    Marcus came within the hour.He looked like a man who had not slept. His hair was tied back loosely and he had the particular stillness of someone who had been awake and thinking for a long time and had arrived at conclusions he was not comfortable with. He came through the door and looked at both of us and understood immediately that something had developed overnight.Rollins told him what I had found in the deep place. The grief. The memory of the complete connection prior to the sealing. The manner in which the power had responded to my question to it. Marcus listened without sitting down, standing at the window with his arms crossed and his eyes on the tree line beyond the glass. His jaw was tight. He was processing as he listened.When Rollins finished Marcus was quiet for a long time."The grief belongs to Claus," I said. "He left it in the deep place at the sealing. Can he get it back."Marcus wheeled about."The archive does not answer that directly," he said. But the sealing

  • Rejected Luna: Royal blood    Chapter 74

    I told Rollins everything.Not in pieces, not carefully arranged. It all, and the grey dawn light through the window, and the fire reduced to nearly nothing. The sorrow in the profound place. The recollection of the entire connection prior to the sealing. What it was like when the power told me in the register below language what choice was. The manner in which it had rejected Claus not with animosity but with the definite preference of that which had discovered something in which it would give no exchange.He was listening as he always listened. Completely. And without filling the blank spaces I left. In not interrupting or turning aside. The bond was steady and warm to-day, and he had my attention, as ever when he was putting his whole weight on me.When I finished he was quiet for a long moment.Then he said, "You asked it what it wanted.""Yes.""And it answered you.""Yes."He glanced out of the window. At the grey sky and the dark line of trees and the little orange dots of Clau

  • Rejected Luna: Royal blood    Chapter 73

    I could not sleep.Rollins was beside me, breathing slow and even, and his arm across my ribs. The fire had died down. The keep was quiet. The line of trees outside the window were dark and still, there was neither movement nor sound of the outer scouts which might have been something had they changed.Everything was still.I was not.The First Power was not to be settled since Claus had spoken. It was not straining the way it had on the battlements. It was not rushing towards the trees. It was doing something worse than either of those things. It was listening. Turned inward and outward simultaneously, like something that had heard a sound it recognized and was trying to remember where it knew it from.An hour passed and I lay still. Maybe longer.Then I sat up carefully, moved Rollins's arm without waking him, and crossed to the window seat.Nothing was happening down in the courtyard. One of the sentries on the inner wall. The warriors of Shadowcrest were camped in the outer yard,

  • Rejected Luna: Royal blood    chapter 29

    I took a deep breath and stepped out from behind the tree, expecting to see the black wolf still there. But instead, a tall, muscular man stood in its place, his chest heaving as if he had just shifted. My heart skipped a beat when I recognized him. “Emily?” His voice was full of shock, his eyes wi

  • Rejected Luna: Royal blood    Chapter 28

    Emily's POV Everything felt like a blur. One moment, I was a nobody in the pack, rejected and alone, and now, I was the Luna. It was overwhelming, but as I stood in front of Rollins, the weight of it all seemed to disappear. His eyes were locked on mine, filled with an intensity that made my heart r

  • Rejected Luna: Royal blood    Chapter 27

    As the weight of my decision settled over the room, I turned to the gathered pack members and elders. “This gathering is dismissed,” I announced. “We’ll discuss the necessary changes in the days to come.” The tension in the air was palpable as everyone began to disperse, murmuring

    Rollins' POV I paused... I looked at Cassandra, who was seated with a smug expression, clearly expecting a judgment that would favor her. But I had a different plan in mind. “Cassandra,” I called out, my voice commanding attention. “Step forward.” Cassandra’s eyes flickered with surprise, but s
