Rena At The Gate

I went down alone.

Dane did not argue about it. He looked at me when I said I wanted to go alone and something moved in his face but he nodded and said he would be in the study and that Kade would be outside the gate room without being obvious about it.

I appreciated that. The not being obvious about it part.

Rena was in the small reception room off the entrance hall. She had not been brought into the main house. Rhen had been careful about that, had put her somewhere neutral, and I noted it an

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA   Efua Comes North

    She arrived on a Tuesday.Same kind of morning Adaeze had arrived on. Grey and cold with the trees moving in the wind and that particular quality of a day that was going to be significant before it finished.I was at the gate.Dane beside me. Adaeze behind us. Kade somewhere he was pretending was coincidental.The car came through and Efua stepped out and she looked different from the cottage. Not dramatically. Just the particular difference between a person managing and a person arriving somewhere on purpose.She had her chin up. She was looking around at the territory with the careful attention of someone taking a new space in.She saw me and something in her face settled."You came north," I said."You said you would call me first," she said. "When it was ready.""The east building is ready," I said. "Come and see it."She shook hands with Dane and said something quiet to Adaeze and then she looked at the packhouse and the grounds and the trees pressing in close on three sides and

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA   What Adaeze Finds In Charlotte

    I found her in the small study.Book open. Notes beside it. The particular focused quality she had when she was working through something rather than just reading it.I knocked on the open door.She looked up."I need you to do something," I said. "A proper assessment of Charlotte. Not the initial read from the first day. A thorough one." I paused. "Something has come up that makes it necessary."She looked at me for a moment."Kade's tracking," she said."Yes," I said.She closed the book. "Sit down."I sat in the chair across from her."Tell me what he found," she said.I told her. The frequency moving toward the territory. Getting more defined every day. Pointing somewhere specific inside the pack. Kade unable to narrow it further yet but certain of the direction.Adaeze listened without interrupting.When I finished she was quiet for a moment."I have been watching Charlotte," she said carefully. "Since the second day. The echo she carries is not static. It has been developing." S

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA    What Kade Finds

    The east building was ready on a Thursday.Rhen walked me through it that morning. New floor. Heating that worked. Windows resealed against the cold. The two smaller rooms cleared and clean. The main room large enough for six people working together comfortably, more if needed.It smelled of new wood and old stone and something underneath that was just the building itself, the particular quality of a space that had been waiting for its right use and had finally found it.I stood in the middle of the main room.Felt the territory around me. The pack out there. The bond warm and steady. Charlotte in the packhouse running the morning schedule with a competence that had stopped surprising me around day ten.Adaeze in the smaller study she had claimed, going through the correspondence with Zara about the eastern omega's introduction to the territory. Kade somewhere on the grounds.I felt Kade's frequency the way I felt all of them now. That particular tracking quality. Oriented toward some

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA   Two Days

    We stayed in the eastern territory's guest accommodation.Small rooms. Clean. The kind of place that served a function without trying to be anything more than that. Dane and I took one room. Adaeze took the one next to it. We ate at a quiet place in the settlement that evening and came back early and the next morning went back to the cottage before seven.Efua was already up.The door was open when we came up the path and she was in the kitchen with tea made for four which meant she had been expecting us and had decided she was glad we were coming back.That was different from yesterday.Yesterday she had opened the door four inches.Today the door was open before we arrived.Adaeze went straight to the table and opened the book and they resumed where they had left off and Dane and I sat back and let the morning do what it was doing.By midday Efua had the breathing technique. Not clean. Not held for long. But present. That click of something engaging that I remembered from my own fir

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA   The Cottage

    The eastern territory was flat.Wide open land with the forest pulled back from the main pack settlement like it had been deliberately cleared. Everything visible from every angle. No trees crowding the buildings. No shadow and density the way Blackwood territory had. Just open grey sky and flat ground and a pack settlement that sat exposed in the middle of it.The cottage was at the southern edge.A twenty minute drive from the main settlement on a road that got narrower as we went. Adaeze was in the back seat. Dane beside me in the front. Neither of us talking much. The bond was there between us steady and warm and the territory around us felt different from ours. Flatter in the bond sense too. Less layered.The cottage appeared through a gap in a low hedge.Small. Stone. A garden that had been kept up recently which meant she was functioning. Which meant she was managing. Which meant she had not given up even after eight months alone.Good.Dane parked. We got out."Let me go first

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA   Monday At Six

    Kade was in the kitchen at five fifty.I came down at six and he was already there with coffee and the particular expression of a man who had not slept much but was not going to admit it. His hair was not as organised as usual. His shirt was on correctly but had been put on in a hurry.I said nothing about any of it.Made my tea. Sat at the table.Adaeze came in at exactly six. Looked at Kade. Looked at his coffee."You will not need that," she said. "It dulls the sensitivity during early training. Water only for the first month of morning sessions."Kade looked at his coffee.Then at Adaeze.Then he put the coffee down and got up and filled a glass of water and sat back down with it.Adaeze sat across from him and opened the book and they began.I stayed because Adaeze had said I could and because watching Kade encounter the beginning of something that had been running underneath him his whole life without a name was something I wanted to witness.He was not fast the way I had been f
