I walked in on time.

He was at his desk. Not the window. Sitting there with his hands loose in front of him and papers he was not reading and when I came through the door he looked up and there was nothing managed about the look. Nothing covered.

Just him looking at me the way he had been looking at me since last night and I felt it the way I always felt it now, low and warm and moving through me before I could do anything about it.

I sat across from him.

Neither of us touched the work papers.

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA   Questions And After

    I walked in on time.He was at his desk. Not the window. Sitting there with his hands loose in front of him and papers he was not reading and when I came through the door he looked up and there was nothing managed about the look. Nothing covered.Just him looking at me the way he had been looking at me since last night and I felt it the way I always felt it now, low and warm and moving through me before I could do anything about it.I sat across from him.Neither of us touched the work papers."Questions," I said."Ask them," he said.I had sorted through them during the night. The ones that were really just anger shaped like questions versus the ones I genuinely needed answered. Fewer of the second kind than I expected. Something about lying in the dark listening to his heartbeat had done the sorting for me."Elder Musa," I said. "Does he know the ritual attached to someone else.""No. He knows it did not work the way they intended. He does not know where it went.""You will tell him

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA   The Morning After Everything

    I came downstairs different.I did not decide to. It was not something I thought about or arranged. I just came down the stairs that morning and I was different and there was nothing I could do about it and I had stopped wanting to do anything about it somewhere around the third hour of lying in his arms listening to the house breathe around us.Sola was in the kitchen.She looked up when I came in and looked at my face and something in her expression did a quiet thing. Not surprise. More like relief. Like she had been waiting for this particular morning for longer than I had.She poured me tea without being asked and slid it across the counter.I sat down on the stool and wrapped both hands around it."You know," I said."I know," she said."How long."She considered that. "I knew something was wrong with the Alpha long before you arrived. Wrong is not the right word. Off. Like a man waiting for something he could not name and had stopped believing was coming." She picked up her own

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA   Before You Got Here

    He was already awake when I opened my eyes.Lying on his back. Looking at the ceiling. That stillness on him that was not peaceful but working, the kind that meant something was being turned over and examined and he had been at it a while.The fire was dead. Cold grey light pushed through the curtain gap and lay across the floor in a thin strip.I watched him for a moment before he knew I was watching and I thought about last night and about Sola saying older than you think and about the way his eyes had found me across that study desk on the first night like something in him had been expecting me.I sat up."Tell me," I said.He turned his head. Looked at me. Then he sat up too and put his elbows on his knees and his hands hung loose in front of him and he looked at them a moment.Then he started talking.Four years ago he had been Alpha for eight years and had never bonded to anyone. The pack elders were not hostile about it. Just quietly concerned the way packs get when something e

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA   Tonight

    The time is nine o'clock.I stayed outside his door for a bit before I knocked. Not really nerves. It was more like understanding you were on the verge of something and that there was no going back.For the whole day, I had feigned not to be concerned about this.I knocked.He opened it fast. Like he had been close to it. He looked at me standing there in the corridor and something in his face did what it had been doing since the gathering, that particular shift that he no longer tried to cover, and he stepped back without a word and I walked in.Warm in here.Amber light is thrown over the dark timber walls by a fire low in the grate. There was nothing left to fake with when I stood in the center of the room with the door closed behind me. The room was filled with the smell that was all his: pine, woodsmoke, and the thing underlying both that I had been pretending not to notice for five weeks.He crossed to me slowly.Not fast. Not urgent.He tackled everything that mattered to him w

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA   Monday Morning

    I got there three minutes early.Sat down. Clipboard on the desk. Notes arranged. All the professional furniture of a work meeting firmly in place.He walked in and sat across from me and all of it meant nothing.Something was different about him this morning. Not loud different. The quiet kind. Like a decision had finished making itself overnight and he had stopped arguing with it. He sat down and looked at me and did not reach for any papers and did not pretend he was about to.I started talking.Supply order confirmed for Wednesday. Kitchen dietary list submitted. East corridor lighting handled by Rhen. I went through every item on my list with my eyes on the paper and my voice steady and the whole time that warmth that had been living under my skin for five weeks was worse than usual. Lower. Heavier.More honest about what it was."That is everything," I said.Silence.I looked up.He was watching me. Elbows on the desk. That open look he had stopped covering since the gathering.

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA   What The Pack Is Already Saying

    I heard them before I got to the kitchen door.Two of the kitchen women in the pantry. Voices low the way voices go when the conversation is worth keeping quiet about. I was not trying to listen. I just stopped walking when I heard my name come through the gap in the door."He did not leave her side once.""I know. I watched."A pause. Something being set down on a shelf."He left the last three gatherings before the food was even finished. You remember. Elder Kanu had to go find him in his study.""I remember."Another pause. Longer this time."She is something though. You have seen how she carries herself. That dress last night." A low sound. Not quite a laugh. "I am not surprised he forgot how to walk away."I moved back from the door.Stood at the kitchen window with my tea going cold in my hands and looked out at the trees and let that settle into me.So the pack had seen it. I had known they were seeing it in real time last night, had watched it move from face to face around tha
