Gavin's POV

The mercenary sat bound to a chair in the holding cell, blood crusted on his temple.

Professional. The way he sat, spine straight despite restraints, eyes alert. This wasn't some tavern thug. This was a soldier. Trained. Expensive.

"Name," I said.

He smiled. Said nothing.

I'd sent Lily to the healers an hour ago. She'd argued, insisted on being here. But her face had been pale, breathing shallow. Those ribs needed setting.

  • STAINED BY THE MOON    CHAPTER 83: DAY FOUR - POLITICAL CRISIS

    Lily's pov Dawn came too soon.I woke still wolf. Silver fur. Four legs. Trapped in this form.Gavin was already awake. Watching me. "Try again," he said quietly.I focused. Harder than before. Imagined my human body. My hands. My voice. My skin.Something shifted. A pulling sensation. Deep inside.My bones began to ache. Not breaking. Just... responding."That's it," Gavin encouraged. "You're doing it. Keep going."The pulling intensified. My wolf form resisting. Not wanting to change. Wanting to stay safe in this stronger, more protected shape.But I needed to be human. Needed to speak. Needed to complete the final trial on two legs, not four.I pushed. Forced the shift.Pain lanced through me. Sharp. Brief.Then the transformation began.Bones reshaping. Fur receding. Body shrinking, reforming.Within minutes, I lay human on the bed. Naked. Exhausted. But human."You did it," Gavin said. Relief in his voice. He pulled blankets over me.I tried to speak. My throat was raw. Voice ho

  • STAINED BY THE MOON    CHAPTER EIGHTY - TWO: AFTERMATH

    Lily’s pov I couldn't shift back. Didn't know how. My body was wolf. Silver fur. Four legs. Different from before, larger, stronger, more aware. I tried to speak. To tell them I was still me. But wolves can't form human words. Only a soft whine emerged. Gavin's arms tightened around me. "It's okay. You're okay. We'll figure it out." Through the bond, I sent everything. Confusion. Frustration. The fact that I was trapped in wolf form. He sent back understanding. Patience. Love. "Can she shift back?" Marathiel asked. Worried. "I don't know," Elta said. "Second shifts are... different from the first. The body is learning. Sometimes it takes time to regain control." Time. I was stuck as a wolf for potentially hours. Days even. I tried again. Focusing on my human form. On hands instead of paws. On skin instead of fur. Nothing happened. "Don't force it," Gavin said quietly. Understanding through the bond what I was attempting. "Your body just saved your life. Let it recover. The

  • STAINED BY THE MOON    CHAPTER EIGHTY - ONE : DESPERATION

    Lily’s pov "Can you counteract the enhancement?" I asked. "Synthesize something that works against the modified disease?""Maybe. If I had time. If I had proper equipment." Veyla looked around the makeshift medical tent. "I have neither. Just basic supplies and dying patients.""What do you need?""A laboratory. Chemical synthesis equipment. At least six hours." She met my eyes. "And we have four hours until sunset."Four hours. Not enough time."Then we work with what we have," I said. "What can we do right now?"Veyla was quiet for a moment. "Aggressive symptom management. Higher medication dosages. Intensive care for critical cases. Quarantine expansion." She paused. "It won't cure anyone. Just buy time until trial ends.""These are real people with real disease," I said. "We find another way.""There is no other way." Veyla's voice was flat. "I'm the medical expert. We don't have resources to fix this."I looked around. At dying patients. At exhausted healers. At crisis spiraling

  • STAINED BY THE MOON    CHAPTER EIGHTY: DAY THREE - DISEASE OUTBREAK

    Lily’s PovDawn of day three came too quickly."Day Three: Disease Outbreak."I broke the seal with trembling fingers. Read quickly.‘Infectious disease detected in the southern residential quarter. Fever, respiratory distress, skin rash. Rapidly spreading. Establish quarantine protocols. Treat infected patients. Contain the outbreak. Time limit: Sunset today.”Through the window, I could already see movement in the southern quarter. People emerging from homes looking sick. Families panicking. Guards trying to establish order."Medical crisis," Veyla said from behind me.”I turned to face her. She looked tired. Strained. "Yes," I said. "Elta assists," Veyla continued. "Between us, we have the medical knowledge to handle outbreak protocols.""What about me?" I asked."You coordinate. Manage resources. Support our decisions." Veyla met my eyes. "Unless you think you know better than trained healers?""No," I said firmly. "I trust your expertise. Just tell me what you need."She nodde

  • STAINED BY THE MOON    CHAPTER SEVENTY - NINE: THE ALLIANCE

    Kia's pov I found Veyla in the medical supply room three days after the confrontation.She was alone. Organizing bandages with mechanical precision. Her hands moved steadily, but her eyes were hollow. Empty.Perfect."Veyla," I said softly from the doorway.She stiffened. Didn't turn. "What do you want, Kia?""I saw what happened. In the courtyard." I stepped inside. Closed the door behind me. "I'm sorry.""Don't." Her voice was flat. "Don't pretend you care.""I'm not pretending." I moved closer. "I know what betrayal feels like. I know what it's like when someone you trust destroys everything."Veyla's hands stilled on the bandages."Your sister fell in love with your mate," I continued quietly. "She looked you in the eyes for weeks knowing she wanted what was yours. Knowing every time she saw Barden, every time she thought about him, she was betraying you.""Stop.""And now she's staying. Despite saying she'd leave. Despite promising to remove herself from your life. She's staying

  • STAINED BY THE MOON    CHAPTER SEVENTY- EIGHT: DAY TWO - WATER CONTAMINATION

    LILY’S POVDawn of day two brought a different kind of crisis.I stood in the command center as Elder Cormac handed me the second sealed envelope."Day Two: Water Supply."I broke the seal. Read quickly.‘The main water supply is contaminated. Poison detected in three of five sources. Identify contamination source. Neutralize the threat. Restore safe water access. Time limit: Sunset today.’Through the window, I could see people gathering at the water distribution points. Confused. Worried. Some are already showing signs of mild poisoning,nausea, dizziness."This is an immediate crisis," Marathiel said, reading over my shoulder. "We have maybe six hours before serious dehydration sets in. Less if the contamination is as severe as it sounds.""Then we don't have time to plan extensively." I looked at my team. "Marathiel, Elta, you're the lead on this.""The rest of you," I turned to Echo, Eleanor, Veyla, Senna, and Barden. "Standby here. Organize water rationing from clean sources. Kee
