THE ALPHA'S CURSED LUNA BELOW
The second underground chamber was bigger than Pia's drawing suggested.Not in floor space. In depth. The sketch had shown one level. There were three.Aria stood at the bottom of the second staircase with a lamp Cord had made and looked at a space that could hold a thousand people comfortably and had been doing nothing for an indeterminate number of years except waiting."She didn't draw this part," Thorne said behind her."She's nine. She probably ran out of paper."The walls down here were different from the upper level. Not worked stone. Something older. The marks on them weren't decorative. She held the lamp closer.Writing. Actual writing. Old script, worn but legible if she took her time with it, and she could take her time with it because she'd spent three centuries as pure consciousness absorbing accumulated human knowledge including seventeen dead languages.She read.Stopped.Read again."Thorne."He came to stand beside her.The writing was instructions. Practical, specifi
THE ALPHA'S CURSED LUNA NORTH
Aria was outside before anyone else moved.Cold air. Dark. The north tree line thirty meters out and the footsteps coming from it fast and not trying to be quiet which was either confidence or desperation and she needed to know which before forty thousand elderly people woke up and panicked.Her shadows went out ahead of her. Feeling. Finding.Human. Multiple. Bodies with weight and heat and the specific scrambled energy of people who had been running hard and long.Not void. Not the animals the void had worn. People.She lowered the shadows and stood her ground.They came out of the trees in a group. Fifteen of them. All young twenty, thirty, the youngest maybe sixteen. Physical like Ren's people were physical, lived-in bodies, but ragged. Clothing wrong for the temperature. Two of them bleeding. One being half-carried by two others.They saw her and stopped.Stood there breathing hard in the dark, fifteen people on the edge of a clearing, looking at a ninety-two year old woman who h
THE ALPHA'S CURSED LUNA WINTER
The healers came across the bridge at noon.Three of them plus the surgeon, who was ninety years old and walked with two sticks and moved faster than anyone else in the group. Her name was Bri.She looked at Fen the moment she walked in, looked at the sixty-something sick people, looked at the improvised triage setup Fen had built from nothing, and said "good instincts, wrong order" and took over without asking permission.Fen let her.That alone told Aria something useful about Fen.The two surgeons worked together through the afternoon without speaking much. Bri's people had brought supplies. Real ones. Dried plants, tools, things that had been made and maintained and improved over three hundred years of people living in bodies and learning what bodies needed.By evening four of the sixty-one sick were significantly better.Three of the seven dying ones were not.Bri came to find Aria at dusk. Sat down across from her without being invited. "The three. Nothing I can do. Compression
THE ALPHA'S CURSED LUNA THE OTHER BANK
Aria went to the river alone.Thorne tried to come. She told him to stay with the camp. He made a specific face and stayed, which meant he understood the logic even if he hated it—two old people confronting a stranger was not meaningfully safer than one and was significantly more provocative.She pushed through the undergrowth to the bank and there he was.Thirty years old, maybe. Standing at the tree line on the other side with his hands visible and his posture neutral and the specific stillness of someone who had been waiting long enough to get comfortable with it.Dark hair. Lean. Physical in the way that people were physical when they'd been physical for a long time—not the papery compression-damaged kind but the real kind, lived-in, maintained.He looked at her. She looked at him.The river between them was loud enough that she had to raise her voice."How long," she called.He understood the question. "Born here. After the fragment release." He had an accent she didn't recognize
THE ALPHA'S CURSED LUNA MELA
Mela was sitting up when Aria woke.Not just breathing better. Sitting up, eating something Doran's people had cooked, talking in a low voice to the person who'd held her hand all night. Color in her face. Hands steady.Aria watched this from across the building without moving.Then she got up, walked over, and crouched in front of her."How," she said.Mela looked at her. Clear-eyed. Lucid. "I don't know.""You were dying six hours ago.""I know. I was there." She said it without sarcasm. Just fact. "I felt it happen. Whatever it was. Felt it—" She pressed one hand flat against her sternum. "Here. Like something reached in and fixed the thing that was broken.""Does it feel fixed.""No." She was honest about it. "It feels patched. Like someone put a hand over a crack. It's still there. But it's not—" She exhaled. "I have more time than I did."Aria looked at her for a moment. Stood up.Went to Dawn.The infant was asleep. Normal asleep, not the weighted unconsciousness of the night b
THE ALPHA'S CURSED LUNA STILL
The stillness was the wrong kind.Not quiet. Not peaceful. The forest had its own sounds—insects, wind, the river Sev had found doing whatever rivers did at night. Those sounds were still there.Everything else had stopped.No animal movement. No branch settling. The undergrowth on three sides just frozen, and Aria had been alive long enough in enough different forms to know that animals went quiet for two reasons. Predator nearby or something so wrong that every creature with instincts had already made a decision about it."How many people are asleep," she said."Most of them." Thorne was looking at the eastern tree line. "It's late.""Wake the ones who can move.""We'll cause panic.""Something's already in the tree line. Panic is fine." She turned toward where Vessel had set up. "Go."He went. She crossed to Petra.Dawn was fully awake. Both hands out of the sling, which was new she'd been keeping them tucked until now and those unfocused newborn eyes that weren't unfocused doing t
THE ALPHA'S CURSED LUNA SHADOWS OF THE PAST
Two weeks of peace.Aria had almost forgotten what normal felt like. Training sessions without assassination attempts. Council meetings without threats. Days when the biggest problem was paperwork instead of survival.It was nice. Strange. Almost boring.Almost.She stood in the training ring watch

Aria woke to sunlight and pain. Everything hurt. Every muscle. Every bone. Every breath felt like fire in her chest. She opened her eyes. Medical wing again. Different bed. Same sterile smell. Same worry in the air. Kira was there. Asleep in the chair again.Head tilted at an angle that would hurt

Aria sat in her room surrounded by ancient books.Couldn't sleep. Hadn't slept in two days. Just reading. Learning. Hating every word.The texts were detailed. Too detailed. Clinical descriptions of how Lunas were created. Bred like cattle. Bloodlines tracked for millennia. All are to produce speci

Aria woke to Kira shaking her."Wake up. Something's happening with the stone. The memory stone the Seeker gave you. It's—it's doing something."Aria bolted upright. The crystal. She'd left it on her desk. Not knowing what to do with it. How to use it. Now it was—Glowing. Pulsing. Brighter with ea
