THE CHUBBY LUNA THEY REJECTED CHAPTER 66: THE ALPHA WITHOUT IS MOON
OSBORNE’S POV The wall would not open again, however hard I pushed.I stood in the empty cage room with blood running down my sleeve, and the silence felt heavier than the fighting had. Three silver cages stood open and bare. Aina's scent still hung in the air, but it was already thinning, the way warmth leaves a bed.They had moved her while I was busy with my uncle, and I had let them."Osborne."I spun, one claw already out. Kade stood in the archway with a split lip and soot in his hair."I told you to ride for the gate," I said."You also called it a favor." He wiped his mouth with his wrist. "I've never been good at those."Something in my chest loosened that I hadn't known was clenched. "The horses?""Never reached them. The east stairs fell in." He kept his voice low and quick. "I found two of our riders. One has a broken leg. The rest were driven apart. Some are locked in cells, some are loose in the yard. I can't tell you who's alive.""And the women?""Taken upstairs. A gu

SERAPHINA S POVElder Garrick sent for me at breakfast, and I went, because refusing would have been an answer too.The small council room smelled of candle wax and wet wool. Six elders sat in a row with their hands folded, like men waiting for a verdict they had already written."Lady Seraphina." Garrick did not rise. "Four days have passed without word from Alpha Cliff. A pack cannot be led by an empty chair.""He is on pack business.""So we are told." A thin smile. "Some of us feel the council should review who holds authority in his absence. It would be a formality."It was not a formality. I had grown up in rooms like this, and I knew the sound of a door being quietly unbolted."We would also value your help," said the elder beside him. "A short statement, read in the square. That you have no sympathy for the Wilfred woman, and that her troubles are no concern of yours.""In return?""Your father's gratitude. A safe road home. A betrothal worth having." He spread his palms. "You

AINA'S POV Selene pulled us into a narrow alcove between two stacks of empty crates. For a few breaths, all I could hear was our own ragged breathing and the alarm bouncing off the walls."Say it again," I whispered. "My grandmother. You said they took her through that door."My mother let go of my wrist slowly, as if she had forgotten she was holding it."I never spoke of her.""I noticed." It came out sharper than I intended. "I was told there was no one left on your side of the family. I stopped asking when I was seven, because you got that look on your face."Selene stepped away to watch the corridor. She didn't say a word, but I understood the gift in it. She was giving us a little room.Elara sat down on an overturned crate. She looked smaller than she had in the temple."Her name was Marit," she said. "She was one of the last Moonbinders who still used her gift openly. Not in front of the packs. But when a wolf was dying, or a child was lost, people came to her door at night,
THE CHUBBY LUNA THEY REJECTED CHAPTER 63:THE NAME IN THE RECORDS
MIRA’S POVI never saw who pulled the lever, but I felt the floor drop.One moment I was running down the lower corridor with Selene's hand on my elbow. The next, a roar of boots came from the stairwell, and the alarm shrieked louder. Selene shoved me sideways through a gap behind a moth-eaten curtain. "Go small," she hissed. "Go quiet. We'll draw them off.""But Aina…""Go!"The curtain fell. Boots thundered past on the other side. I pressed myself against the wall, heart rattling like a loose shutter, and listened to the others run the opposite way. Then there was only the alarm, and the dust sifting down from the ceiling.I wasn't brave. I want that said. I had cried in a cage for days, and I'd learned that being brave and being scared can happen in the same body. So I did the only thing I could. I put one bare foot in front of the other and crept into the dark.The passage twisted twice and ended at a heavy door standing ajar. I slipped through and eased it shut behind me.A singl
THE CHUBBY LUNA THEY REJECTED CHAPTER 62: THE WOMAN WHO REFUSED TO BE SAVED
AINA'S POV "Take them! Now, before he turns around!"The captain's roar still rang in my ears as rough hands hauled me up from the silver cages. The last thing I saw was Osborne's back at a blank wall, blood dark on his sleeve, a dozen guards closing around him. Then a door slammed, and he was gone.They shoved us into a low storeroom that smelled of damp sacking. Barrels lined the walls. One torch hissed in a bracket. A guard carried Mira in his arms and set her down on a folded blanket with surprising care.My mother was pushed in behind me. After her came a woman with gray at her temples and a bruise along her cheek, walking with one arm pressed to her ribs. Selene Cliff. She looked at me for a long moment. Her eyes were her son's eyes exactly, and for a moment I could not speak. She gave me one small nod, as if we had already agreed on something.Then I started to notice things.Two guards stood within arm's reach of Selene and never looked anywhere else. A hard-faced woman crouc
THE CHUBBY LUNA THEY REJECTED CHAPTER 61:THE UNCLE WHO SHOULD BE DEAD
OSBORNE'S POV I knew that voice the way a child knows his own name.Corvin Cliff taught me to tie a fishing knot. He carried me home on his shoulders the day I fell off the orchard wall. At twelve, I stood beside his grave with a fistful of wild asters, and my father told me a Cliff did not cry in front of others.Now he leaned in a doorway, older and scarred, with a crossbow aimed at my heart. Grief I had buried long ago came up raw, like a wound torn open. Rage followed so fast it swallowed the grief whole."You're dead," I said. It sounded foolish even to me."I was more useful dead." He smiled. "Your family has a gift for it."Gray cloaks crowded the corridor behind him and spilled along the walls, a dozen, then more. The lamps swung on their chains. Every few seconds the ceiling groaned, and grit rained over the silver cages. Somewhere at my back, Aina drew a sharp breath.Corvin studied me like a man pricing a horse. "I hear you shred bedrooms now. I hear you nearly tore a coun
