I came out of the vision the way a diver comes up from too deep too fast, my lungs burning for a surface that had moved.
The Moonstone's light let go of me one finger at a time. The chamber returned. The dead forest. The cold. My own body, kneeling on the broken stair with my hand still pressed to the cracked heart of the oldest power in the world.
I was not the girl who had touched it.

Rejected by my Mate, Chosen by his Enemy Cole's Sacrifice
HaydeeThey gave Cole Shade a healer's cot in the heart of Nightfall, in the house of the enemy who had spent a whole season wanting him dead, and not one of us missed the strangeness of it.Old Fenna worked over him the way she worked over everything, without softness and without pause, and I stood at the foot of the cot and watched the man who had thrown me away on the ceremony floor lose his color hour by hour.The silver had gone into his shoulder shallow. It should not have been killing him. But silver in an Alpha does not stay where it lands. It travels. The black had climbed from the wound up the cords of his neck and down beneath his ribs, and his breath had started to whistle, and the great arrogant heat of him, the Alpha weight that had filled every room I ever hated him in, was guttering out in front of me like a lamp gone dry.Fenna set down her cloth, wiped her hands, and did not lie to me. She never had."The

HaydeeI came out of the vision the way a diver comes up from too deep too fast, my lungs burning for a surface that had moved.The Moonstone's light let go of me one finger at a time. The chamber returned. The dead forest. The cold. My own body, kneeling on the broken stair with my hand still pressed to the cracked heart of the oldest power in the world.I was not the girl who had touched it.I knew before anyone spoke. I knew from the wolf sitting inside me now, awake at last and fully awake, no longer the small starved thing they had called weak my whole life but a presence vast and patient and wholly mine. I knew from the ends of my own hair fallen across my face, run through with a silver that had not been there an hour before. The stone had reached into me and left its mark where the whole world could read it. Whatever they had raised me to be, I was something else now.But it was the futures that would not let me go
Rejected by my Mate, Chosen by his Enemy The Throne Opens
HaydeeThe knife went into my mother's heart, and I died a little with her. I heard myself make a sound I had not known a body could make. I reached the top step with my hands out to catch a corpse.Carmen did not fall.The blade stood in her chest to the hilt, and her blood ran down the black stone in a dark sheet, and she did not slump, did not gray, did not go. Her eyes found mine over Tara-Lee's shoulder, wide and astonished and living, as though death had come knocking and been turned from the door by a law older than itself.Moonborn blood, spilled on Moonborn stone. Tara-Lee had said it like a killing. It was a key.The throne drank my mother's blood, and it woke under all of us.A sound rose out of the ground, low and enormous, the note a mountain might make if a mountain could grieve. The broken seat split down its center. The steps beneath my boots drew apart, and cold silver light poured up out of the dar
Rejected by my Mate, Chosen by his Enemy The Moonborn Throne
HaydeeThe dead forest took the sound out of the world.We came into it on foot in the last dark before moonrise, four of us with Hunter's warriors behind, and every step deeper the trees stood more wrong. Bare branches. Dead air. Nothing had denned in that ground for a hundred years, and the forest knew us for what we were, the last blood of the line that had raised its stones.At its heart stood the throne.I had pictured a chair. It was a mountain of broken black stone, a seat carved for something that ruled when wolves still knelt to the moon and meant it. And on that seat, chained at both wrists, her head fallen forward, sat my mother."Carmen." The name tore out of me.Her head came up. Drained to a shadow, half a season chained and bled, Carmen Moongale still found my face across that ruined clearing, and her wrecked eyes broke open. Knowing. Terror. And under both, a warning she had no breath left to shout.
Rejected by my Mate, Chosen by his Enemy The Mother's Bargain
HaydeeCole's word reached me at the waystation before dawn, carried by a Silvercrest scout who could not meet my eyes. Tara-Lee had walked out of the packhouse through a dead guard and a wall of blood, and she had taken my mother with her.I had held Carmen Moongale's hand exactly once. I had poured my own life down into her chest to start her heart and nearly died in the doing of it. One touch, one mother, after eighteen years of a blank where a mother should have been. Now she was gone again, before I had ever heard the sound of her voice awake.Tara-Lee's own messenger came an hour behind the news.Not a wolf. A frightened human boy in Silvercrest livery, sent because a human could cross lines no pack scout would risk, holding a small oilcloth bundle in both hands as though it might bite him."She said to give you this first," he whispered. "So you would believe the rest."I opened it. Inside lay a strip of pale
Rejected by my Mate, Chosen by his Enemy Tara-Lee Escapes
The healer had stopped being afraid of Tara-Lee weeks ago. That was her mistake.She came to the west infirmary at dusk with her herbs and her cool hands, the way she had come every evening since the trial, to press the swell of Tara-Lee Rainhart's belly and frown at what she found under her palms. The pregnancy was wrong. It had been wrong from the first, growing too fast, too hungry, the skin over it hot as a covered lamp. The healer did not know it was no child at all. She did not know the thing beneath her hands had been grown from another woman's stolen blood, and that it fed, night after night, on the altar-bond that ran like a black root down through the packhouse to the failing woman in the next room.It was feeding now. Tara-Lee knew the drinking of it, knew Carmen Moongale's life thinning through the wall between them, and with every swallow the borrowed strength climbed higher in her own limbs, Moonborn and cold and not hers to keep.
