THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA chapter 264
POV: Kaelan Ashwood“Lay down your sword, Kaelan, or we will take it from you. Your father trusted us to guard this pack from a mad Alpha, and tonight we do our duty. Do not make us shame you in front of the people.”The eldest elder was Sevra Quill. She had taught me my letters when I was four. Now she stood on the council steps with her white hair blowing and her scroll in her fist, and fire lit her face from below like a ghost story. Behind her five more elders held torches. Behind them stood the tower guard, forty men in gray with their hands on their hilts.“Sevra,” I said. “The granary is burning.”“The granary can burn without you.”“Nine hundred wolves will starve this winter.”“Then let the Council decide who feeds them.”I looked past her at the yard. Wolves were passing buckets hand to hand from the well to the flames. A boy of ten ran with a bucket twice his size. A woman with a baby on her back climbed a ladder. No one was watching the elders. They were watching me.“List

POV: Lyra Thorne“Lower your bows or I will count your names aloud, one at a time, and your mothers will hear them. I am Lyra Thorne. I was a servant in your kitchen for nine years, and you know my face.”The dawn came up gray and thin behind me. Ahead of us the Ashwood wall rose out of the mist, black and wet, with a dozen archers leaning over the parapet. Smoke hung over the fortress like a dirty flag. I could taste it on my tongue. Beside me, Titus sat his horse like a statue. Forty riders waited in the trees behind him.“That is Gale Fenn,” I said, pointing. “Second archer from the left. You took my tray to the council hall once. You said thank you. Nobody else did.”The archer on the wall shifted. His bow dipped a finger’s width.“Lyra,” Briar hissed from my other side. “They have orders to shoot.”“Then they will have to shoot a person.” My heart was pounding so hard I thought they could hear it. “I am not a ghost. I am not an enemy. I am a woman at a gate.”A voice came down fr

POV: Kaelan Ashwood“Kill me, and your pack burns. Let me live, and I will tell you which fire to chase. Choose fast, Kaelan. Your mate is riding toward a trap, and the clock is not on your side.”I did not answer. Orrin Vale stood across the desk from me with his hands folded, as calm as a man waiting for tea. Behind me Marcus swore under his breath and tried to lift his sword. His arm shook like a dead branch.“Piers,” I said. “The door.”“It is open, Alpha.”“Then go and ring the alarm bell.”“I tried. The rope was cut.” Piers coughed. “Someone cut it before we came down.”Vale tilted his head. “Piers always was a good boy. A little slow.”“Do not speak to him,” I said.“Why? You are about to ask me what I did with your father’s medicine, and who held the cup, and whether the cough in your lungs is the same one he had. I can answer all of it.” He smiled. “But your nose has already told you the truth. Smell.”I breathed. Under the cloves came something else. Pitch. Dry grain. A thic

POV: Lyra Thorne“You ask me to ride against my own allies for a girl I met three weeks ago, Thorne. Do you know what that costs me? Name a reason better than grief, because grief does not feed an army.”Titus Crane stood in the kitchen doorway with the firelight behind him, and he did not move. Behind me the garden was silent. Corvin, Rhea, Wren and Tam all held their breath. The smoke feeling still crawled in my chest, thin and sweet, and every breath I took tasted of cloves.“My reason is simple,” I said. “Orrin Vale is the man who killed your friends too. Hask told you the Scribe laughed about me. Who do you think the Scribe is?”“I have wondered.”“You do not wonder anymore. Neither do I.”Titus studied me for a long moment. Then he stepped into the cold and shut the door behind him. “Say the rest.”“Vale used you. He used Damon. He made you both think you were the clever ones. He wrote the law, he lit the fire, and then he sat in a council chair for thirty years and watched you

POV: Kaelan Ashwood“Forgive the smoke, my boy. It only makes wolves sleepy. I would never have let it hurt you. Sit down before you fall, and let an old man explain.”The iron door swung open, and golden lantern light poured into the vault. I stood on the stone floor with a vinegar soaked rag pressed over my nose, Piers swaying at one elbow and Marcus braced against the desk, his eyes red and streaming. My legs felt like wet rope. The room swam. And in the doorway, calm as a priest, stood Orrin Vale.He was in his nightrobe, a plain gray one, with a shawl over his shoulders. He looked small. He looked old. He looked exactly as he had when I was seven years old and had a fever, and he had come to sit at my bedside with a book.“Do not come closer,” Marcus rasped, lifting his sword.“Put it down, Enforcer. You will hurt yourself.” Vale stepped inside and set his lantern on the desk with a tender, careful hand. “You have been breathing the smoke for twenty minutes. Your arm is a strange

POV: Lyra Thorne“He dies in your arms, Thorne, and you do not know his name. The Scribe told me everything. He told me you would look at your mate like a stranger. He laughed when he said it.”Hask’s whisper slid across the table like a knife on a plate. For one frozen heartbeat I could not breathe. Then Titus’s fist came down on the wood, and the whole hall jumped.“Enough.”He did not shout. He did not need to. His voice rolled down the benches like a stone, and thirty Alphas went silent. Hask opened his mouth, and Titus stood.“Sit down, Hask, or leave my house. You are not the first man I have thrown out for foolishness, and you will not be the last.”“Crane, you cannot.”“I can. It is my roof.” Titus’s eyes were gray ice. “Doran, you wished to speak?”Doran of Saltmere rose slowly, the pouch of silver coins still in his fist. He bowed to Titus, very slightly, and then, to my surprise, to me.“Saltmere withdraws from this table,” he said. “Until I know whose silver I have been sp
