Lyra Thorne's POV

"You struck one of our own," Marcus said, low and lethal, pinning a young guard against the splintered remains of a supply cart, and the mate bond dragged me across half the battlefield before my mind caught up with what my feet had already decided.

I arrived at the edge of the eastern line just in time to hear him say the words, a voice I had never heard him use before, and stayed in the shadow of a burned wagon, close enough to hear, far enough that neither of them noticed m

  • THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA   chapter 90

    Kaelan Ashwood's POV"This way," Rhea said, moving with the careful confidence of someone retracing a path she had walked only once, long ago, under circumstances she clearly still carried with her, and no living Thorne had walked that burial ground in nine years, and the moment Lyra's boots touched the soil beside me, I watched something in her whole body recognize it the way a held breath recognizes air."Her father chose this place because the old wards here answer only to Thorne blood," Rhea continued. "Even my own father's people never found it, all these years.""How did you know where to look," I asked, keeping close to Lyra's side, my hand steady at the small of her back in a way that felt less like protection and more like partnership."Because I helped him bury it," Rhea said, and something in her voice cracked open for the first time since I had known her. "I was young. Barely trained as a healer. Her father trusted almost no one in those last frightened weeks before the fi

  • THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA   chapter 89

    Lyra Thorne's POV"Tell me," I said, and my voice came out steadier than the ground felt beneath me, and Rhea's words sat between us like a held breath, because I realized I had spent so many months chasing the truth about my family that I had never once stopped to ask whether the full truth might still be waiting past the part I already thought I understood."All of it, Rhea," I said. "No more pieces handed out carefully. I have earned the whole truth by now."Rhea glanced once at my mother, some old, unspoken agreement passing between them, before she finally nodded, settling onto the edge of the narrow bed like a woman preparing to set down a weight she had carried too long alone."The Thorne claim was never only about arriving first," she said. "It was about a bond. Long before Ashwood ever founded this territory, the Thorne bloodline held it through a mate bond between the first Thorne Alpha and the land itself, a bond the old laws called unbreakable. Ashwood's founding claim was

  • THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA   chapter 88

    Kaelan Ashwood's POV"He is trying to plant doubt," Marcus said, as we walked the border wall together at first light, counting the cost of the night in wounded wolves and broken formation lines, and my father's last words in that hall should have felt like nothing more than a bitter man's parting shot. Instead they sat in my chest like a stone for the rest of that long, exhausted morning."A last attempt to make us chase shadows instead of trusting the truth we already have," Marcus added, and I wanted badly to agree with him."Maybe," I said. "Or maybe he is right, and Titus never actually wanted a battle he could win outright tonight. He wanted exactly what he got. Chaos, doubt, my father exposed and removed, and an entire pack too exhausted to notice whatever he did on his way out."We found the first sign of it an hour later, in the eastern archive room where the pack's oldest founding records were kept, a locked door standing ajar, and a gap on the shelf where the original Ashwo

  • THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA   chapter 87

    Lyra Thorne's POV"This council will hear the full accounting," the eldest councilwoman said, her voice carrying none of the uncertainty from hours earlier, and the hall filled again before dawn, exhausted wolves still bandaged from the border standing shoulder to shoulder with elders who had not left their seats since the hearing first began.I understood, walking back into that room, that whatever happened next would decide more than just my family's name."Damon Ashwood, you will speak plainly," the councilwoman continued, "or Marcus Reyes will read the ledger page aloud in your place."Damon stood slowly, and for the first time in my life I watched him without a single flicker of the fear that had shaped nine years of my existence around him. He looked, in that moment, exactly like what he was, a man finally out of places to hide."Thirty one years ago, Titus Crane and I made an agreement," Damon said, and his voice, though quiet, carried to every corner of the hall. "Ashwood need

  • THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN LUNA   chapter 86

    Kaelan Ashwood's POV"Do not," Lyra said, "finish burning that," and I reached my father's study half a step behind her, close enough to see the burning ledger page curling to ash in the hearth before either of us had said a single word.Something in my chest went cold and clear in a way I had never felt before in my entire life, watching a man I had called my father for twenty six years flinch at the sound of her voice.My father turned slowly, and for the first time in my life the man who had raised me looked smaller than the title he carried, older, cornered in a way I had never once seen him allow himself to be."You should not be in here," he said. "This war is not over yet. It is not safe.""You attacked your own wolves tonight," Lyra said. "You do not get to talk to me about safety."His hand froze halfway toward the fire, and I watched something break loose behind his eyes, nine years of careful control finally giving way under its own weight. "You do not understand what I was

"Weeks ago. He said if the truth ever surfaced in front of the full council, I was to make certain no witness survived long enough to confirm it under oath. Torren was standin
