Ronan's POV

TWO DAYS LATER

Aurelia's outer courtyard had become a war camp. Horses stood in long rows along the eastern wall, their reins tied to posts that had been driven into the ground overnight.

Warriors from at least six territories moved between cook fires and supply wagons, their uniforms a patchwork of colors I had spent my life learning to read. Silver and blue for the coastal houses, deep green for the northern forests, crimson and iron for the mountain clans, every crest I had memor

  • THE LUNA HE FORGOT TO LOVE    CHAPTER 139

    AUREN'S POVI stepped into the middle of the field, The battlefield stopped, the thick, tensed air froze, like something held it suddenly. Rogues stopped mid-swing, beasts halted as though they had been struck by something invisible. Warriors froze with their weapons raised. Everyone, on both sides of the line, turned toward the same place.Ronan looked up from the ground. Blood ran down his side, down his leg, and into the mud beneath him. He stared at me with wide eyes filled with shock. "Auren..."I wasn't his Auren anymore, something had taken over, I couldn't even take control of my own body. Moonlight spread across the battlefield in a wide, silent wave. It touched the wounded and healed who ever needed healing, and passed over them. It touched the beasts, and they screamed.I raised one hand.The sky split open. Clouds tore apart above the field, and a column of moonlight came down like a hammer.BOOM.Hundreds of Rogues were swept backward off their feet. The earth erupted b

    Auren's POVNo one expected the attack to come in this form. They had come prepared to weaken our minds before they got to our bodies.Silver was unusually alert that day, her presence pressed against the inside of my skin like a hand held against a wall, as if she knew it was coming and was waiting for a signal.Then—BOOM.The camp shook. I was out of bed before I knew I was moving. My hand found the wall, my feet found the floor, and the ground beneath me rolled once before settling. Somewhere far off, a horn sounded. Then another, then dozens of them, overlapping and rising. It was the sound of war.I ran outside. The horizon was moving. Warriors streamed past me toward the outer defenses. Healers ran in the opposite direction, dragging stretchers and crates. Guards shouted orders I couldn't hear. The sky above the far hills was the color of smoke and blood.And beyond the walls, past the tree line, the earth itself began vibrating. The thunderous movements of beasts echoed across

    Auren's POVThe camp had become a city. Canvas walls stretched in every direction, sectioned off by rope and wooden stakes. Cookfires burned at all hours. Warriors from six territories trained in the open fields beside the river, their swords catching the afternoon light.Healers moved between the medical tents with satchels on their shoulders. The commanders had drawn up schedules for patrols, drills, and shifts at the seal. The Seer had not left her study in three days.I had been here for a month, and so had Ronan. He never approached me the way he used to. He didn't walk up to my tent unannounced, he didn't try to pull me aside after council meetings, and he didn't stand outside the healing tent waiting for me to come out.I remembered I had told him I needed space. That was exactly what he was giving me, but why did it hurt so badly knowing that he had actually given me what I wanted?I noticed the other things.The path to the training field was always cleared when I walked it,

  • THE LUNA HE FORGOT TO LOVE    CHAPTER 136

    Ronan's POVThe great hall emptied within the hour. Commanders moved through the crowd, calling out orders and pointing at maps. Tents would be raised outside the capital, closer to the seal, warriors would rotate in shifts, healers would be assigned to each unit, and supply lines had to be established before nightfall.It kept going on and on, the air thick with tension and the smell of battle. I stood near the back of the hall and watched it all happen around me.I scanned the room, watching the Emberfall representatives arrange themselves for the preparations, when my eyes landed on Auren. She was across the room.She stood with the same midwife near a table covered in rolls of linen and small clay jars. Ben was beside her, Beckett was a few steps away, speaking with one of the Aurelian commanders. Every few seconds, someone else walked up to her. A healer with a question, a servant with a message, a warrior who simply wanted to stand near her.Everyone seemed to have a place aroun

    Ronan's POVTWO DAYS LATERAurelia's outer courtyard had become a war camp. Horses stood in long rows along the eastern wall, their reins tied to posts that had been driven into the ground overnight.Warriors from at least six territories moved between cook fires and supply wagons, their uniforms a patchwork of colors I had spent my life learning to read. Silver and blue for the coastal houses, deep green for the northern forests, crimson and iron for the mountain clans, every crest I had memorized in my father's study as a boy was standing in front of me now, with real swords in their belts and blood on their sleeves.Kael rode beside me through the gates. He took it in without speaking for a long moment. Then he said, "They're not here for a council."I looked at the crowd ahead of us. "They know what's coming."***Inside the palace, the great hall had been transformed.Long tables had been dragged into a wide semicircle. Maps covered every surface, small carved markers indicating

    Ronan's POVI rode through without slowing. Guards stepped aside, warriors straightened, servants paused in their work, their hands frozen mid-task as their eyes followed me across the courtyard. I didn't need to see their faces to know what was running through their minds. The same questions my own men had been asking since we crossed back into Emberfall's borders.Did he find her?Was she there?Did she refuse him?I dismounted at the Alpha's quarters and walked inside. Kael followed me through the door and closed it behind us.I stood in the center of the room with my back to him. He waited for a while before saying, "Maybe we went the wrong way."I turned before he finished the sentence. My hand caught the front of his cloak and pulled him toward me. His boots dragged across the floor."Don't ever say that to my face."He didn't push back. He didn't reach for my wrist. He just looked at me with worry in his eyes.I released him. My hand dropped to my side, my eyes burning as my vo
