THE HUSBAND SWAP (bound to the wrong body) EPILOGUE--FINAL CHAPTER
MAYA.Six months. That was all it was. Six months since the blood moon and the hotel room and the drive back to a city I had almost left permanently. Six months since I had stood in my own entrance hall and whispered game on to my sister and meant every word of it. Six months since Gregor had called to tell me a door had opened.It did not feel like six months.It felt like a different life. Which it was, in almost every way that mattered. I stood at the window with my tea and I looked at Crestholm in the early morning and I let myself feel all of it without flinching away from any of it. That was the new thing. The thing I had been practicing for six months — letting myself feel the size of my own life without immediately making it smaller, without finding the apology for it, without looking for the exit in case it turned out I was not supposed to be here.I was supposed to be here.I knew that now.My hand rested on my stomach, light and private, not thinking about it consciously, j

MAYA.Sera arrived forty minutes after I sent the message.She came through the front door with the specific look of someone who had been running for long enough that they had forgotten what standing still felt like. Not the composed, carefully dressed Sera of the entrance hall two days ago. This one had her hair down and her coat slightly wrong and her eyes doing something I had not seen them do in years.She was scared. Not performing scared. Actually scared, the real version, the one that lived in the body rather than the expression.She stopped when she saw me in the entrance hall."He's here," she said. Not a question."At the east gate," I said. "He won't get in."Something in her face went very still. "How did he find—""It doesn't matter right now," I said. "Come inside."She came inside.We dealt with Dorian first because Dorian was the immediate problem and everything else could wait an hour.Yulian handled it with the particular efficiency he brought to things that needed t

MAYA.I told them in the car.Yulian was driving again. Kayden was in the back. The city moved past the windows and I sat in the passenger seat and I told them everything Gregor had said, starting with the conception and ending with the Silver Luna bloodline, and I tried to say it plainly and without the particular weight that kept trying to attach itself to every sentence.When I finished the car was quiet for a moment.Then Kayden said from the back: "Silver Luna.""That's what he said.""And he's certain.""He said he's been watching since the first time he met me. The silver in my eyes. He said it has never been an Omega trait. Not once in any historical record he has access to." I looked at my hands in my lap. "He said the classification was wrong from the beginning."Yulian had not said anything yet. I could feel him thinking beside me, the specific quality of his silence when he was taking something large and turning it over carefully before he responded to it."The suppression

MAYA.I was still in the car outside Gregor's house when my phone rang.Yulian.I answered immediately. "Hey—""Where are you." Not urgent exactly. But close."Just leaving Gregor's. I was going to tell you when I got home, I left a note—""I know. I need you to come to the Voss Enterprises building." A pause. "Now, Maya."Something in his voice made me sit up straighter. "What happened.""Elder Damos has called a meeting," he said. "Senior pack members. Conference room on the fourteenth floor." Another pause. "It's about you."The street outside Gregor's house was very quiet and very ordinary and completely unaware of what had just landed in my chest."How long have I got," I said."Twenty minutes.""I'll be there."I started the engine.I had twenty minutes and I used them. Not to panic — panic was not useful and I did not have the space for it. I used them to think, which was what the drive was for, the city moving past my windows while I assembled what I knew into something I coul

"WHAT THE BLOOD KNOWS."MAYA.I did not tell Yulian or Kayden where I was going.Not because I was hiding it. Just because I needed the drive to be quiet and mine and without anyone's worry sitting in the passenger seat beside me. I left a note on the kitchen counter — gone to see Gregor, back before dinner — and I took the car and I drove through the mid-morning city and I let myself think.I had been worried since the entrance hall.Not about Sera directly. I had meant what I said to her and I had not said anything I was not prepared to back up. But there was a difference between being unafraid of someone and being unconcerned about what they were capable of, and Sera was capable of quite a lot when she had decided something was hers.She was going to move.I did not know where or how yet but I could feel it coming the way you felt weather coming — not the specifics, just the pressure change. The sense that something was already in motion and I was only going to find out what it was

SERA.Cassia Dern was exactly what Vivienne had described. I found her through the pack's public archive committee listing — a small entry, nothing dramatic, just a name and a position and a contact for historical records requests. I did not contact her through that. I was not going to leave that kind of trail.Instead I found her at the place Vivienne had mentioned almost as an aside — the small tea room on the west side of the city that certain senior pack wives had been meeting at on Wednesday mornings for approximately fifteen years. A quiet tradition. The kind of thing that did not appear on any official pack calendar but that everyone who moved in those circles knew about.I arrived early. I dressed carefully. Not too formal, not too casual — the specific register of someone who belonged in a room without needing to announce it. I took a table near the window and I ordered tea and I waited.Cassia Dern arrived at half past ten with two other women I did not recognise. She was in

“AND SUDDENLY WE WERE STRANGERS AGAIN.”MAYA.I was not fast enough.That was the honest truth of it. By the time I heard the front door and registered that the voice was already inside the apartment and not outside in the hallway, it was too late to do anything useful. I had barely gotten one leg

“REAL EYES, REALIZE, REAL LIES.”MAYA."When you look at me." He gestured at himself, at Yulian's face, Yulian's body, all of it. "You do this thing where you—" He paused. "You know which one you're talking to. It shows. Not a lot but it shows if someone is paying attention.""I'll work on it," I s

“WE ALL EAT LIES, WHEN OUR HEARTS ARE HUNGRY.”MAYA.The next day.Okay.So.My husband and his best friend had swapped souls overnight because of a orb that was delivered to our home by our pack shaman. My husband was now in Kayden's body. Kayden was now in my husband's body. I was the only person
