I stared at the photo until my vision blurred. Then I turned around and walked back downstairs.
Liam was still at the island. He looked up when I entered. Read my face. His body went rigid.
"What happened?"
I put the phone on the counter between us. Screen up. The photo of Mara glowing in the dark kitchen like an accusation.
He looked at it. His control

LIAM---I'm waiting when Neah comes back to our room.She's been gone for hours. Making peace with everyone on her list. Healing wounds. Mending fractures.I felt it all through the bond. The grief with Diane. The love with Elena. The brotherhood with Caleb. The loyalty with the boys.Every conversation another piece of armor stripped away. Every truth another step toward wholeness.Now it's my turn.She closes the door behind her. Leans against it. Exhausted but lighter somehow."Hey," she says."Hey yourself.""I saved you for last.""I noticed.""Not because you're least important. Because you're the most. And I needed to get the rest out of the way before I could do this right."She crosses the room. Sits beside me on the bed. Takes my hand."We need to talk," she says."I know.""About tomorrow. About the bonding. About what comes after."I nod. Can't speak. T
THE DORMANT LUNA Book 1 CHAPTER 132
NEAHI find them in the common room.Shane, Miles, and Theo. My original circle. The warriors who became brothers. The boys who saw a grieving human girl three years ago and decided she was worth protecting.They're playing cards. Some game with complicated rules that Shane keeps changing whenever he's losing."That's not how this works," Miles says patiently."It's exactly how this works. House rules.""Your house rules change every hand.""Adaptation is key to survival."Theo just shakes his head. Doesn't argue. Knows it's pointless.I stand in the doorway watching them. Memorizing. Just in case tomorrow doesn't go the way I hope.Theo notices me first. Always does. "Neah."The other two look up immediately."Hey," I say. "Can I join?""Always," Shane says. Grins. "Fair warning though. I'm winning.""You're cheating," Miles corrects."Semantics."I sit. They deal me in.

NEAHI find Caleb at the training building.Our place. Where we've sparred and argued and cried and laughed since I was fifteen and he took it upon himself to teach me how to fight like a wolf even though I'd never shift.He's not alone. Vanessa stands beside him. Hand in his. United front.Good. That's good. Because we need to do this right."Hey," I say."Hey yourself." Caleb gestures to the mats. "Want to sit?""Yeah."We settle on the floor. Cross-legged. The way we used to when we needed to talk about something serious.Vanessa sits beside Caleb. Close but not crowding. She's learning. So am I."I need to say something," I start. "To both of you. Before tomorrow. Before everything changes.""Okay," Caleb says.I look at Vanessa first. "I was wrong. When you first arrived. I assumed the worst. Assumed you were trying to replace me. Assumed Caleb would forget about me the moment he found his mate. That wasn't fair to you."Vanessa's eyes widen slightly. "Neah—""Let me finish. You

NEAHI find Elena in the studio.Not the training floor. The back office where she used to manage schedules and handle finances. Where the crescent moon water stain used to hide a box of secrets that changed everything.She's sitting at the old desk. Staring at photos on the wall. Me. Her. Diane. Students over the years. A life built and lost and somehow found again."Hey," I say softly.She looks up. Smiles. But I see the sadness underneath. The weight she's been carrying for three years."Hey, baby." She gestures to the chair across from her. "Sit."I do. The office is smaller than I remember. Or maybe I'm just bigger now. Not physically. Emotionally. The girl who used to sit here complaining about homework is gone. Someone else sits in her place."We need to talk," I say."I know.""Not the surface conversation. Not the one where we pretend everything is fine because we're both too scared to dig deeper. The real one."Elena nods. Takes a breath. "Where do you want me to start?""Th

NEAHI walk into the forest.Not to the clearing where we train. Not to the vault. Just deep into the trees where the pack noise fades and the world is quiet.I need to be alone with this. With what Diane just told me.My father knew.He got in that car knowing they might come for us. Knowing it could be a trap. And when the truck appeared, he had time to swerve. Time to save himself.But swerving would have put the impact on my side instead of his.So he didn't.He put himself between me and death. On purpose. By choice.My survival wasn't luck. It was love. Deliberate. Conscious. Sacrificial.I sit on a fallen log. Stare at nothing. Let the truth settle into my bones.For three years, I thought it was random. Senseless. Wrong place, wrong time.But it wasn't.My father saw death coming and stepped in front of it so I could live.The grief rises. Different than before. Not the panicked, desperate crying of the girl who woke up screaming. This is deeper. Quieter. The kind that heals a

NEAHI find Diane in the studio.The self-defense studio my mother founded. The place where I spent a thousand afternoons learning to fight. To protect myself. To be strong.She's sitting on the mat in the center of the room. Alone. Staring at the wall covered in photos. Mom. Me. Diane. Students over the years. Memories frozen in frames."Hey," I say softly.She looks up. Eyes red like she's been crying. "Hey yourself."I sit beside her. Cross-legged. The way we used to when I was fifteen and needed to talk about something I couldn't say to anyone else."We need to have a conversation," I say."I know.""The real one. Not the angry version. Not the one where I yell and you apologize. The honest one."Diane nods. Takes a breath. "Where do you want me to start?""The beginning. The night of the crash. Tell me everything."She closes her eyes. When she speaks, her voice is steady but strained."Elena called me the night before. Around midnight. She was terrified. Said something had happe

NEAHThe first week of senior year went exactly how I expected. Classes were fine. Training was good. The mean girls were mean. Same old routine.What I didn't expect was how much harder the nightmares would hit.Every night that week I woke up screaming. Every night Caleb came running. By Friday w

NEAHAldara finds me in my room two hours after the vault experience.I'm still shaking. Still processing what I saw. What I felt. The memories that aren't mine but somehow are.She doesn't knock. Just walks in like she owns the place. Ancient and powerful and carrying an expression I've learned to
THE DORMANT LUNA Book 1 CHAPTER 2
NEAHThe sound of screeching tires. Metal folding like paper. Glass exploding everywhere. My body flying forward but my hands grabbing nothing but air. Then impact. Hard and sudden and final.I jolted up in bed gasping for air. My chest was heaving and my shirt was soaked through with sweat. The ro
