Lyra Thorne’s POV

“I have known for two full years that this pack was built on a lie. I simply did not know, until last week, that the lie had your name buried somewhere inside it,” Selene Voss said, and for the very first time since I had met her, I actually believed every word she said.

She had asked to meet me alone in the pack house library, which alone told me something significant had shifted between us, because Selene Voss did not do a single thing without carefully calculating the cost

  • THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA   chapter 105

    Lyra Thorne's POV"You did not tell me about the ledger. You did not tell me about the ring. I had to hear it from the man who used to make you scrub floors."Briar's voice was low and wobbly. She stood in the kitchen doorway with a lantern in each hand, her red curls flattened by the rain, her eyes flashing. It was nearly dawn. Marcus had bribed a sleepy guard to let us slip out through the servants' passage. Now she was blocking the last door with her whole body."Briar, I do not have time," I said."You never do.""Kaelan is trapped in a vault!""And I am your friend!" Her voice cracked on the last word, loud enough that a pot rattled on its hook. "Nine years. I sat up with you when your knuckles were bleeding. I covered your shifts. I lied to Marcus so many times I could draw his face when he was angry. And you did not trust me with one page of paper."It hurt. It hurt more than I expected. I looked at her, at the shine in her eyes, and something inside me wanted to hit back. I ha

  • THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA   chapter 104

    Kaelan Ashwood's POV"If you open that door and something goes wrong, I want it on record that this was your idea," Selene whispered. "I am a guest. I have manners.""You have a dagger in your boot.""That is not manners. That is good sense."The old chapel smelled like wet stone and candle smoke. We had come in through the bell tower at midnight, and I had checked twice for watchers. Selene held the lantern low, its yellow light crawling over broken pews and faded murals of wolves with human eyes. Beneath the altar, half hidden by dust, was a trapdoor with a brass lock the size of my palm.I pushed my mother's key in. It turned with a sigh, as though the lock had been waiting.The stairs went down a long way. The air grew colder with each step. At the bottom was a round room no wider than a kitchen, walled in pale limestone and lined with shelves. Most of the shelves were empty. Dust lay over them like snow."Someone cleaned it out," I said."Who would do that?" I said. "Nobody has h

  • THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA   chapter 103

    Lyra Thorne's POV"Throw the bowl if you want," Marcus said. "I would rather you throw it than sit there looking at me like that."I did throw it. It hit the wall beside his head and burst into pieces of stew and clay. He did not flinch. He only stood in the open doorway of the guest room with his arms at his sides, breathing hard, as if the bowl had been a fair answer."Three hours," I said. "You have stood outside my door for three hours, and now you bring me soup.""You did not eat the bread.""I do not want your bread!""Then you are as stubborn as our father." He almost smiled. It vanished at once, and he came inside and shut the door and stood with his back against it. The room was small and cold. There was a narrow bed, a barred window, a washbasin with a crack in it. Somewhere in the hall an Enforcer coughed. "I will not stay long. I want to say something and then I will go.""Then say it.""I am sorry."I laughed. It was an ugly sound. "That is what you brought me? Two words?

    Kaelan Ashwood's POV"You knew, Father. You knew whose son he was every time you handed him a punishment order. Every single one. Look at me and tell me you did not."My father sat behind his desk with the study fire burning low and his hands flat on the blotter. Rain had started against the tall windows. He looked older than he had that morning, smaller somehow, like a coat left over a chair."I have told you what I intend to tell you," Damon said."That is not an answer.""It is the only one you will get." He did not raise his eyes. "The council has ordered me confined to my rooms until the inquiry. I will be gone in an hour. If you came here for a confession, you have wasted the little time we have."I paced to the window and back. My boots left wet prints on the rug my mother had chosen. Down in the courtyard I could see torches being lit, and Enforcers in pairs, and a small gray figure in a kitchen apron being walked toward the guest wing. Lyra. They were calling it protective cu

  • THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA   chapter 101

    Lyra Thorne's POV"Take your hand off the wall, Marcus." I did not recognize my own voice. It sounded small and cracked, like a girl calling from the bottom of a well. "Take it off right now. The stone is glowing under your glove, and I think you already know why."The courtyard was falling apart around us. Wolves shouted over one another. Elders argued in tight, angry knots. Somewhere behind me Damon was roaring that the stone was a trick, and Corwin was banging his gavel on a table nobody was sitting at. I heard none of it. I only saw the tall Enforcer standing at the gate arch, his palm flat against the old gray wall, and the thin silver light leaking between his fingers.Marcus Reyes looked down at his hand as if it belonged to someone else. He pulled it back fast. The glow faded from the wall like a candle being pinched out."It is the cold," he said. "The stones hold the cold. It is nothing, Lyra.""Then take off the glove.""I will not be ordered around by a kitchen Omega.""Th

  • 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
