THE LUNA HE THREW AWAY The Silver Lesson
Fen woke me up by dropping a rock on my foot.The rock didn’t hurt, just startled me awake. I sat up quickly, stiff from sleeping in the mud and still confused. Fen was already walking toward the far edge of the Hollow.“Up,” he said. “We’re not done.”I looked up at the gray, early sky through the trees. Kael was still asleep, leaning against the big root, his hand on his wounded shoulder. His face looked peaceful for once. The silver was still in him, I could see it in his pale skin and the careful way he breathed.I got up and followed Fen.He stopped in a clearing where the old trees thinned out. He turned and gave me that usual look, like he was sizing me up and seeing both what he expected and what surprised him.“What you did in the Hall,” he said. “What did it feel like?”“I’ve told you what it felt like.”“Tell me again.”I sighed. “It felt like a cup overflowing. Like I couldn’t control it.”“Exactly. That’s the problem.” He pointed at a young birch tree about twenty feet aw
THE LUNA HE THREW AWAY Her Father
The grief hit me hard. It wasn’t the old, dull ache I’d carried for fifteen years, the kind you learn to live with because it becomes part of you. This grief was sharp and burning; the pain of learning a story you trusted was a lie. The truth hurt, but it was also freeing. It hurt more because of the cruelty, but it was better because of the courage.He knew what I was......he must have known, or at least suspected it. In his final years, he made himself invisible to keep Aldric from noticing anything unusual about his daughter.“He was protecting me,” I said.“Yes.”“He thought if he made himself small enough, I’d be safe.” I laughed, but the sound was too short and too sharp. "That’s what my mother did, too. Different method, same math." I put my hand to my mouth. "All my life, I believed I was the problem, that I was the one who needed fixing. But maybe they were just..." I stopped.“Trying to keep you alive,” Kael said quietly. He watched me from across the fire, not in his usual

Nobody slept.Kael leaned against a thick root, eyes closed, and jaw clenched. Fen had disappeared into the darkness an hour ago and still hadn’t returned. I sat three feet from the pool, close enough to see my reflection but far enough to pretend I wasn’t thinking about it.The water stayed still. No wind, no current. It was black and calm, as if it were waiting for me. Once, Fen had told a story about the first Sovereign who tried to claim the Hollow- a legend about a pool that never froze or dried, filled with memories the earth couldn’t keep buried. Some said the pool was older than the walls around us. Others whispered that its surface was a door, not a mirror, meant for secrets, not wishes. I didn’t know what to believe, except that it felt like looking into a place that remembered everything.I’d been staring at it for an hour. Maybe more.“You’re going to look eventually,” Kael said. His eyes were still closed.“I’m not looking for your commentary.”“That wasn’t commentary. Th

I didn’t look back. I ran harder.Fen moved through the Growth like he was part of it, ducking branches without looking and stepping across roots without slowing. I was getting better at following him, though not perfectly. Kael kept pace behind me, breathing hard as the silver worked through him. Every few minutes, I heard him stumble and catch himself, and each time, I had to fight the urge to slow down. The bond was gone; I’d severed it and felt it snap. Breaking a bond like ours, the one that ties two spirits together, alpha to mate, wolf to wolf, was supposed to free me, to untangle that deep, instinctive pull we shared. But the habit of caring about him hadn’t faded yet.“Almost there,” Fen said.“You keep saying that.”“I keep meaning it.”Then the trees opened up, and I stopped.The Hollow wasn’t what I expected. I’d pictured something gloomy, like the rest of the Growth, full of rot, murk, and things with strange eyes. But this was different. The trees here were old, older th

The bolt hit Kael in the shoulder.Not me. Him.He threw himself sideways, not to avoid the bolt but right into its path. The silver tip sank just below his collarbone. He made a sound I’d never heard from him before. It was low and animal, but not like a wolf. It sounded more human.He went down on one knee.Serena stared at him. For one second, she looked like she hadn’t planned for this either.That second was all I needed.I didn’t use the power. I just moved. I took three steps across the clearing and drove my elbow into her jaw so hard I felt it in my teeth. She turned, and the crossbow spun out of her hands into the mud. Without thinking, I kicked it farther into the dark.Serena looked up at me from the ground, blood on her lip, and for the first time since I’d known her, she looked genuinely afraid.“Don’t,” I said. That’s all.She didn’t move.I turned around. Kael was still on one knee, holding his shoulder. His gold eyes watched me with an expression I couldn’t name. The b

The air cracked.The oak folded in half. It didn’t snap; it bent, as if something had grabbed it in the middle and forced it down. The roots tore up with a scream. I hit the ground on my hands and knees, my vision going white at the edges."You’re trying to destroy it," Fen said. He pulled me back up by the collar. "Command it. There’s a difference.""What’s the difference?""One of them leaves something standing afterward."Fen’s head snapped toward the tree line. His tattoos started moving again, slow spirals up his forearms."He's here," Fen said."The bond," he said, low and fast. "I can see it. Right now, it looks like a chain left in the rain for 20 years. Corroded. Kael's been holding it together by sheer stubbornness." He looked at me. "When he walks in, he's going to use your name. That's how he'll try to pull you back. Don't let him."For a split second, I remembered what bonds meant for us. They weren't just feelings or old promises; they were living things, spun in the mar
