THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA chapter 80
Lyra Thorne's POV"Answer her," I said, my voice shaking with something too large to name, hope and fury braided so tightly together I could no longer tell where one ended and the other began. "Is my mother alive."Damon Ashwood looked at me for the first time all night like I was something other than an inconvenience he had spent nine years managing, and whatever he saw in my face seemed to finally break something loose in him. The whole hall had gone so quiet I could hear my own heartbeat, loud and uneven, and somewhere behind me Wren's breath caught and held."Yes," he said, so quietly the whole hall had to lean in to catch it. "Marianne Thorne is alive. She has been kept, quietly, under guard, for nine years."The hall erupted into chaos so complete that the council guards had to physically hold the crowd back from surging forward, and I felt Kaelan's arm come hard around my shoulders, steadying me before my knees fully understood they wanted to give out. My ears rang with the noi

Kaelan Ashwood's POV"Someone is at the door," Briar hissed, low enough that only those of us nearest her caught it, but the words traveled through the hall like a struck match, and every head turned as one toward the sound of boots on stone.I felt Lyra go still beside me, that particular stillness I had come to recognize as her bracing for the worst possible version of whatever came next. Around us the hall, which only a moment ago had been full of the restless energy of a pack finally allowed to question its own history, went utterly silent, every eye fixed on the great doors as they swung slowly open on their old iron hinges.Titus Crane walked in like he owned the floor beneath him, two guards at his back, and did not so much as glance at the council seated above him before his eyes found Cassian standing exposed and undefended in the center of the hall. The morning light through the tall windows caught him fully as he crossed the floor, and there was something almost theatrical

Lyra Thorne's POV"The council will hear evidence and vote before this sun sets," the eldest councilwoman announced, and I felt the whole great hall hold its breath around me, every eye in the room split between the Alpha standing at its center and the Omega he refused to release.I stood at the edge of the gathered pack, Wren's hand locked tight in mine, Briar pressed close on my other side, and watched Marcus take his place before the council with the stiff, unhappy posture of a man carrying out a duty he no longer believed in. Sunlight cut through the tall windows in pale gold bars, catching dust motes stirred up by the crowd, and I found the ordinary beauty of it almost unbearable set against what was about to happen underneath it."I witnessed Alpha Kaelan Ashwood complete a physical bond with the Omega Lyra Thorne outside recognized council law," he said, voice flat and precise, every word costing him visibly. "I am bound by oath to report it. I have done so.""Thank you, Enforc
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA chapter 77
Kaelan Ashwood's POV"The council convenes at first light," my father said, and something in his voice sounded almost satisfied, like he had been waiting nine years for exactly this excuse. "Marcus filed his report an hour ago. You are to answer for a completed mate bond outside recognized bloodlines, Kaelan, and I want you to understand clearly that I cannot protect you from this, even if some part of me still wanted to.""I never asked you to protect me," I said. "I asked you to tell the truth about what actually happened nine years ago. You are choosing this council hearing instead. That is a choice, Father, not a consequence you had no hand in."He looked older than I had ever seen him, propped against those pillows in a room that suddenly felt smaller than it used to, and for one strange moment I almost pitied him, a man who had spent nine years building a fortress out of a lie only to watch it crumble in a single night he never saw coming. The fire had burned down to embers behi
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA chapter 76
Lyra Thorne's POV"You do not have to come with me," I told Kaelan, standing outside Rhea's cottage with my hand still raised to knock, my whole body strung tight enough to hum. "This is my mess to untangle tonight. Yours is waiting for you back inside.""My mess and yours stopped being separate things weeks ago," he said, close enough now that I could feel the warmth of him even through the cold night air. "I am not leaving you to read whatever is behind that door alone."I turned to argue and found him closer than I expected, close enough that the argument simply died somewhere between my chest and my throat, replaced by something that had been building for two months of stolen glances and careful distance and a bond neither of us had ever once been permitted to act on. The cottage windows glowed faint gold behind him, and somewhere in the dark a night bird called once and went quiet, and for a moment the whole exhausted, dangerous night seemed to hold its breath along with me."Kae

Kaelan Ashwood's POV"Who," I said, and watched two years of careful silence finally crack open across Selene's face.She had never once, in the whole strange season of our engagement, looked at me the way people look at someone they are afraid to lose. I had noticed that early and told myself it was simply relief, two wolves grateful neither one expected romance from the arrangement. Standing in that dim corridor, I understood how wrong I had been about the reason. I thought of every dinner we had shared as an engaged pair, every formal appearance where her hand had rested politely and distantly in mine, and realized I had mistaken careful performance for genuine peace."Marcus," she said, so quietly I nearly missed it entirely.Whatever I had braced myself to hear, it was not that."Your father's Enforcer," I said slowly, and Selene flinched like the words themselves carried weight."He does not know I feel this way," she said quickly. "Or he did not, until recently. We met three ye
