Naya worked the pins from Emma's hair in silence, the bath long gone cold, the candle burned down to little more than a stub.

"You don't have to tell me what happened," Naya said eventually. "But you also don't have to pretend nothing did." “Your Majesty, I hope you know that you can always speak to me. Whatever is weighing on your heart, I am here to listen whenever you need someone.

Emma stared at her own hands in her lap. Do these insults ever end? Did you see the way they called me cursed

  • HIS FATHER'S LUNA   THE NAMES SHE COULDN'T SAY

    Emma waited until the palace had gone fully quiet before she pulled the floorboard free.The journal sat exactly where she'd left it, wrapped in the old scarf, untouched. She carried it to the window seat and sat with it in her lap for a long moment before she opened it, the way she always did now, some part of her still half-expecting to find the words changed, or gone, or revealed as something she'd imagined entirely during a week when grief had made everything feel unstable.They hadn't changed. They were exactly as damning as she remembered.Victor smiles too easily for a man carrying the burdens he claims to carry.Lucien knows more than he has ever admitted.Emma read them again, slowly, the way she'd read them perhaps forty times by now, hoping some new meaning might surface if she looked hard enough at words she'd already memorized.None did. That was the trouble with two names and nothing else. She had suspicion without direction, accusation without evidence, the certainty th

  • HIS FATHER'S LUNA   WHAT THE STONE WOULDN'T GIVE

    The Moon Temple slept differently from the rest of the palace. Ethan had learned that over careful watching. No night guards patrolled its inner sanctum, only the two acolytes who alternated the dawn vigil, and even they retired to the outer dormitory well before midnight, trusting the sanctity of the place itself to guard what lay beneath it.Ethan had stopped trusting sanctity to guard anything months ago.He slipped through the side entrance he'd mapped three visits prior, the one the gardeners used for moon-lily deliveries, and let the darkness of the temple's lower halls swallow him whole.You're shaking, his wolf observed, low and watchful beneath his ribs. I'm concentrating.You're shaking because part of you already knows what you'll find down here. The wolf's voice carried no judgment, only that flat, patient certainty it always spoke with. Nothing. The same nothing you've found every other night you've done this.Then I'll keep looking until there isn't any nothing left to f

  • HIS FATHER'S LUNA   A SMALL QUIET THING

    Emma spent the morning at her mother's bedside, watching the color slowly return to Helen's face, watching her breathe easier with every hour that passed. The physicians seemed genuinely pleased, careful optimism replacing the grim caution of the night before, and Emma let herself hold onto that small mercy even while the rest of her mind kept circling back to a war room and the conversation she had with Jasper. She'd expected many things from Jasper last night. Coldness. Dismissal. Another flat, practical explanation that left her exactly as confused as before. She hadn't expected honesty, raw and unpolished, admitting he didn't understand his own fury any better than she understood it herself.It should have comforted her. Instead, it had kept her awake half the night, turning the admission over like a stone she couldn't quite find the underside of."You're doing that thing again," Helen said weakly from the bed, her voice stronger than it had been in days. "Frowning at nothing. Em

  • HIS FATHER'S LUNA   NO ONE DARE RAISE THEIR VOICE AT YOU

    Emma found him an hour later, still in the courtyard where she'd left him, standing motionless beneath the darkening sky as though the conversation with her father had never fully released its grip on him."Your Majesty."He turned at her voice, his expression settling back into its usual careful neutrality, though something in his eyes stayed harder than it had been that morning."How is your mother?""Resting. The physicians are hopeful." Emma wrapped her arms around herself, the evening chill doing little to explain the unease still sitting heavy in her chest. "I wanted to ask you something.""What is it? She hesitated, choosing her words carefully. "Why did you speak to my father

  • HIS FATHER'S LUNA   THE MAN WHO DISOWNED HER

    The riders returned on the fourth day, just past sunset, and Emma was already standing at the palace gates before Naya could finish telling her the carriage had been spotted on the road.She'd barely slept in four days. She'd counted every hour by the position of the sun through her window, by the careful, measured updates Jasper's messengers brought back from the road. The carriage made good time through the eastern pass. Your Majesty, they should arrive by evening. She'd told herself, over and over, that she would be calm when this moment finally came. She would be composed, careful, every inch the Queen she'd spent weeks learning to become.She had not once, in four days of waiting, allowed herself to think seriously about what it might mean to see her father again. She'd

  • HIS FATHER'S LUNA   WHAT A QUEEN IS ALLOWED TO ASK FOR

    Emma was curled in the window seat of her chambers, Isabella's journal open on her lap, though her eyes had long since stopped moving across the page, when Naya entered with a folded letter held carefully in both hands.The afternoon had been quiet. She spent most of it simply sitting with the journal, not reading so much as holding it, running her thumb along the cracked spine while her thoughts wandered somewhere far from Council business and torn pages and men whose names she still wasn't certain she could trust her suspicions about."This arrived for you, Your Majesty. Marked urgent. From a village healer, it looks like, not the palace courier."Emma's chest tightened instantly. She didn't recognize the name on the outer fold, though the village stamp was unmistakable- the small crossroads town she hadn't set foot in since a royal carriage carried her away from it two years ago. Her father hadn't written to her once since the night he'd placed a disownment paper in her hands and t
