Kaelan Ashwood’s POV

“Step where I can see you clearly, or I put an arrow straight through the girl you are all so desperate to protect,” Corwin said, and every muscle in my body went instantly rigid with a fury unlike anything I had felt in my entire life.

He emerged from the treeline alone, crossbow leveled and steady, moving with the unhurried confidence of a man who had already decided precisely how this entire conversation would end long before it ever began. Marcus shifted his weight to p

  • THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA   chapter 100

    Kaelan Ashwood's POV"Place your hand on the stone, Lyra. Do not think about the crowd. Do not think about me. Listen to the land, and answer it honestly. That is all your father ever asked."Rhea's voice was gentle, but I could hear how tightly she was holding it together. We stood in the old courtyard at the heart of Ashwood, where a single gray monolith rose from the earth like a tooth. It was taller than two men and older than any pack law. Moss clung to its base. Time had worn its face smooth, except for a faint pattern carved near the top. A crescent moon with a thorn through it.The whole pack had come. Hundreds of wolves crowded the walls and balconies and rooftops, silent, watching. Even the kitchen girls and stable hands stood shoulder to shoulder with the elders. Damon stood at the front of the noble crowd, arms folded, his face like carved stone. Titus stood opposite him, hands clasped behind his back, unbothered.I gripped the hilt of my mother's blade so hard my fingers

  • THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA   chapter 99

    Lyra Thorne's POV"Lyra Thorne. At last." Titus swept into the hall as though it were his own, unhurried and gracious, a folded parchment in one gloved hand. "I have wanted to meet you properly for nine years. Your father spoke of you so often."I could not breathe. My mother's hand gripped my shoulder. Behind me, I felt Kaelan take one step closer, silent and immovable as a wall."You knew my father?" I said."Better than anyone in this room. Certainly better than your host." Titus turned to the council with an easy bow. "Elders, I apologize for the interruption. But you are trying a young woman on charges you cannot prove, using evidence you cannot verify, while the one document that settles it all sits in my coat pocket.""What document?" Elder Nadia asked sharply.Titus unfolded the parchment with a flourish and held it up. It was cracked and yellow, sealed at the bottom with a huge circle of black wax stamped with a crescent moon and a thorn. The founding charter."The original T

  • THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA   chapter 98

    Kaelan Ashwood's POV"Stand up, girl. The council will hear the charge against you, and the whole pack will hear it with them. Do not think that being the Alpha's favorite will soften a single word of this."Elder Corwin's voice filled the council hall like warm oil, smooth and reasonable. He sat at the center of the long oak table with the six other elders arranged around him, his white hair combed neatly, the gold ring on his finger catching the dawn light. I stared at that ring until my eyes ached. I wanted to tear it off his hand.Lyra stood in the middle of the floor with her hands unbound. I had not let them chain her. I had told the guards that any wolf who laid a finger on a witness before the council had spoken would answer to me. Even Damon, sitting stiffly in the visitor's gallery, had said nothing."The charge," Corwin continued, "is that Lyra Thorne, formerly of the Thorne pack, did fabricate documents claiming a false bloodline, in order to seduce the Alpha and manipulat

  • THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA   chapter 97

    Lyra Thorne's POV"If they put those chains on me tomorrow, Kaelan, do not fight them. Promise me. If you fight, they win, and they will call it proof that I turned you against your own pack."He had found me on the roof of Rhea's hut, where I had climbed to breathe. The eastern sky had begun to gray at its edges, and the wind smelled like frost and wet earth. Below us, the whole woodland seemed to be holding its breath."I cannot promise that," Kaelan said. He sat down beside me, close enough that our shoulders touched. "I can promise I will not raise a hand until I have tried every word I own.""That is not the same thing.""No. But it is the truth."I leaned my head against his shoulder because I was too tired to be proud. His coat smelled of woodsmoke and cold air, and beneath it, something warmer that belonged only to him. My wolf, quiet at last after two days of howling, stretched inside me like a cat in the sun."I am afraid," I whispered. "I have not said that out loud to anyo

  • THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA   chapter 96

    Kaelan Ashwood's POV"You have three minutes, Kaelan, before I stop being polite about this. Sit down. Close the door. And do not look at me like I am a problem you were hoping to postpone."Selene Voss did not raise her voice. She never did. She sat in the high backed chair of her guest quarters, boots crossed, a single lamp burning at her elbow, and watched me with the patience of someone who had been waiting a long time. I had come at Lyra's request. Lyra had sent word through Briar, still bruised and swaying, that Selene had answers, and that I should ask for them without my Alpha mask on.I sat."You found Briar," I said."I did. And I would like you to understand something before we go any further." She folded her hands. "I did not do it for Lyra, and I did not do it for you. I did it because a wolf tied to a pipe in a cellar is a warning, and I have learned to read warnings.""You have known about the traitor in my house.""I have known there was one. I did not know his name un

  • THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA   chapter 95

    Lyra Thorne's POV"Briar is gone, Lyra. Her bed has not been slept in, her boots are missing, and the kitchen door was open all night. Nobody in this whole house will tell me where she went."The head cook, Mavis, had caught my sleeve the moment I slipped in through the servants' entrance, and her fingers were shaking. It was past midnight. Kaelan had insisted I should not come back to the pack house at all. But my mother was asleep at last in Rhea's hut, and I could not sit in that quiet cottage another minute with my own thoughts."When did you last see her?""Yesterday, before sunrise. She said she was following a wolf who had been lingering by the delivery gate. She said she would be back in an hour."My stomach turned to ice. "Which wolf?""She would not tell me. She only said, do not worry, I have a very good feeling about this one." Mavis's face crumpled. "That girl has never once had a good feeling that was not trouble."Briar. Loud, warm, foolish, wonderful Briar, who sang of
