HIS FATHER'S LUNA ANGRY WOLF
Ethan made it as far as the temple's outer courtyard before his knees nearly gave out.He caught himself against a stone pillar, breathing hard, sweat gathering cold at his temples despite the night air. Marcus had tried to follow him out. Ethan had waved him off with a hand that wasn't quite steady, and Marcus, wisely, hadn't pushed.Alone. He needed to be alone before whatever was clawing beneath his skin finally broke through.You felt her. The voice wasn't his own, not exactly, low and furious, curling up from somewhere beneath conscious thought, somewhere Ethan had spent three weeks trying to keep buried.I didn't ask to feel her. You never do. You just stand there and let me want her anyway.Ethan pressed his forehead against the cold stone, willing the shaking in his hands to stop. His wolf had gone quiet since the wedding, sullen, withdrawn, the way it always did when he made choices his wolf inside him didn't agree with. He'd told himself the silence meant acceptance. He unde
HIS FATHER'S LUNA NOT YOURS TO JUDGE
The Moon Temple looked different at night than it had on her wedding day.Candlelight replaced the morning sun that had once caught the silver embroidery of late Queen Isabella's gown, and where the temple had buzzed with scandalized whispers then, tonight it held something closer to held breath, hundreds of nobles, envoys, and common folk gathered in careful silence, waiting to see whether the palace's newest Queen could manage a ceremony that had, until three weeks ago, belonged only to a woman they still hadn't stopped mourning.Emma stood at the base of the altar steps, the ceremonial robe heavy on her shoulders, her heart hammering so hard she was certain the front row could hear it."You'll do well," Naya had told her that afternoon, pinning the last silver comb into her hair. "You've survived worse rooms than this one."Emma had wanted to believe that. Standing here now, the weight of hundreds of eyes already pressing against her before the ceremony had even begun, she found th
HIS FATHER'S LUNA A TEST
The rider was young, barely older than a boy, his uniform still dusted with the road and his hands shaking faintly as he stood before the war room table."Tell me everything," Jasper said. "From the beginning.""Yes, Your Majesty." The rider swallowed hard. "Patrol spotted movement past the northern ridgeline three days ago. Small at first, we thought hunters, maybe traders straying off the usual routes. By yesterday morning the numbers had grown. Organized formations, Your Majesty. Northern colors."Marcus Hale, already standing at the map spread across the table, leaned forward, tracing a line along the ridge with one finger. "How many?""Perhaps three hundred. Difficult to say for certain from the distance we held.""Three hundred." Jasper's voice stayed even, though something behind his eyes had sharpened considerably. "That isn't an invasion force, Commander.""No," Marcus agreed slowly. "It isn't." "Then what is it?"The rider hesitated. "The patrol captain believed it was a tes
HIS FATHER'S LUNA WHAT THE VIGIL REQUIRES
A summons arrived the next morning. It was formal and brief, delivered by a guard rather than Naya. His Majesty requests the Queen's presence in the war room. Vigil preparations.Emma read it twice, looking for something warmer between the lines, and found nothing. She told herself she hadn't expected to.The war room wasn't what she'd imagined. No maps of battle, no scattered weapons, just a long table covered in ledgers and diagrams, seating charts marked with the crests of a dozen visiting Houses, a schedule stretching across three weeks in Jasper's own precise handwriting.He looked up when she entered, and something in his face told her he'd been waiting."You're here." He gestured to the seat beside him rather than across from him, which felt, somehow, like its own small statement. "The Longnight Vigil requires more coordination than most people realize. I thought it best you understood the whole of it, rather than simply appearing on the day and hoping for the best.""I'd like
HIS FATHER'S LUNA A DUTIFUL VISIT
"I know you weren't trying to be." His voice gentled further, forgiving, understanding. You are going to be Queen of Valenmoor. Queens do not chase their husbands through corridors, weeping over silence. Queens wait, with grace, and let the men around them come to understand what they've been given." He tilted his head, studying her with something that looked, convincingly, like pride. "You were made for that throne, Celeste. I have always believed it. But a throne requires more than desire. It requires patience most girls your age have never had to learn."Celeste nodded slowly, some of the hurt in her face folding itself into something more composed. "You're right. I let my temper get the better of me.""You let your heart get the better of you," Victor corrected gently. "That isn't a flaw, my dear. It simply isn't a Queen's temperament yet. It will be, in time, with the right guidance.""Should I apologize to him?" "No." Victor's answer came quickly, smooth. "Let him come to you.
HIS FATHER'S LUNA NOT EVEN A LETTER
Ethan heard her before the guards announced her."I don't need to be escorted. I know where his chambers are." Celeste's voice carried down the corridor, sharp with a fury she wasn't bothering to soften for anyone listening. The door to the map room opened hard enough to strike the wall."Three weeks." She stood in the doorway, chin high, her eyes bright with something that hadn't decided yet whether it wanted to be tears or rage. "Three weeks, Ethan. Not a letter. Not a summons. Not so much as a servant sent to ask how I've been since you stood in front of the entire kingdom and chose me."Ethan looked up slowly from the papers he wasn't reading. "Celeste.""That's my name, she crossed the room, skirts snapping around her ankles. "I have spent three weeks fielding questions from every noble family in this court about wedding preparations, about a date, about anything at all I might tell them, and I have had nothing to offer them but silence, because my future husband has apparently f
