Auren's POV

The first thing I heard when I was partially awake was his voice. Ronan was calling my name, holding me against his chest, one arm under my shoulders, the other pressed flat against my side where the blood from his wound had soaked through both our clothes. His breath was ragged, and his hand was shaking.

"Auren. Open your eyes."

I tried, but my body seized. The pain came from somewhere deep inside me, sharper than anything I had ever felt before. It tore through my abdomen and up i

  • THE LUNA HE FORGOT TO LOVE    CHAPTER 141

    Auren's POVThe celebration in Aurelia went on for three days straight. Banners hung from every tower, fires burned in the courtyards at all hours, and warriors who had spent a month sleeping in the mud were drinking wine from silver cups and dancing badly around the cookfires.I stayed mostly in the royal wing. My four babies were in the nursery beside my room. Naya had arranged everything—four cradles side by side, each one carved with a different symbol of the Moon Goddess and lined with white linen.Ben had brought in a chair from the council chamber and set it beside the cradles without asking. Beckett had found a wooden wolf carved in the shape of Silver and placed it on the windowsill where the light could catch it.Ronan had gone back to Emberfall to oversee his duties there. He came by once a week to see the pups, bringing all sorts of food for Naya with instructions to have it prepared specifically for me. Whenever I needed to sleep, he sat in the chair beside the cradles an

    Auren's POVThe first thing I heard when I was partially awake was his voice. Ronan was calling my name, holding me against his chest, one arm under my shoulders, the other pressed flat against my side where the blood from his wound had soaked through both our clothes. His breath was ragged, and his hand was shaking."Auren. Open your eyes."I tried, but my body seized. The pain came from somewhere deep inside me, sharper than anything I had ever felt before. It tore through my abdomen and up into my spine, and I heard myself gasp before I even understood what was happening.Ronan went completely still."What's wrong? Something is wrong with Auren. Someone send help!"My eyes remained closed as the second wave hit before the first one had even finished. I grabbed his arm and dug my nails into the fabric of his tunic."Ronan—"Naya was already running. She dropped to her knees beside us, pushed my tunic up without asking, and pressed her palm flat against my stomach. I managed to open

  • 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

  • THE LUNA HE FORGOT TO LOVE    CHAPTER 138

    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

  • THE LUNA HE FORGOT TO LOVE    CHAPTER 137

    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
