THE LUNA THEY NEVER WANTED Chapter 47: THE ONE WHO STAYED BEHIND
CHAPTER 47 THE ONE WHO STAYED BEHIND CALEB’S POV I haven’t slept in two days, and my body was starting to remind me of it. While Xander rode to Finnveil, then to the ceremony grounds, I stayed at Gerafil doing the one thing nobody else seemed to have time for anymore. Watching the borders not the horizon. The people already inside our walls. Talia’s story had holes in it. I’d learned that skill the hard way, growing up in a house where my sister counted her bruises every morning and nobody thought to ask why. So while everyone else chased ghosts across the territory, I sat outside the healer’s wing and watched Talia sleep. She talked in her sleep. “Rosalind,” she murmured, restless beneath the blankets. “Tell him I did it. Tell him she’s safe now.” I sat up straighter. Rosalind. The woman who’d walked into our camp with a false pregnancy and a manufactured lie, sent by Trent, tangled somehow with the Silver Veil. I hadn’t heard that name spoken since the morning we exposed
THE LUNA THEY NEVER WANTED Chapter 46: THE GIRL WHO LOOKED LIKE MY MOTHER
CHAPTER 46 THE GIRL WHO LOOKED LIKE MY MOTHER XANDER’S POV Her eyes locked into mine, and my heart instantly slipped a beat. I just stood there. My whole body refused to move. Twenty-three years of silence from my mother, every time I asked about my father, every time she changed the subject or walked out of the room. Now this woman stood in front of me wearing his eyes as she stole them straight from his face. “Say that again,” I managed. “Xander.” Wren’s voice shook. “I’ve waited twenty-three years for someone to find me.” “Oh really?” Elena’s hand found the small of my back. I felt her beside me, watching my reaction the way she watched everything, everything about me in case I fell apart in front of these guards. “What do you mean, wait?” Elena asked her, gentle but sharp beneath the surface. Wren wrapped her arms around herself. “I was taken when I was very young—raised far from here. Nobody told me where I came from. Only that the woman who raised me served the Silv
THE LUNA THEY NEVER WANTED Chapter 45: WHAT TRENT BECAME
CHAPTER 45WHAT TRENT BECAME XANDER’S POVI set the letter down on the table between the maps, the bracelet, the scrap of black cloth we still hadn’t identified. Elena stood at my shoulder, her hand resting light against my back, “Five days isn’t enough time to find Talia,” Caleb said. “It’s barely enough time to prepare the pack for whatever the hell is coming.”“Then we stop trying to find everything for once don’t you think??,” I said. “We focus on what actually threatens the ceremony itself.”“Meaning?” Marcus asked.“Meaning Trent.” I looked at Elena. “Sloane said he’s planning something big. We don’t have five days to guess what that fool is up to. We go to him instead” I pushed.. “Tonight.”Elena nudged slightly but she nodded. “I’m coming.”“I know,” I said, before she could argue about. Some fights weren’t worth having anymore.We rode out within the hour, a small enough party not to look like an invasion but it was large enough that I wasn’t foolish about what remained of
THE LUNA THEY NEVER WANTED Chapter 44: MORNING WITHOUT ALARM
CHAPTER 44 MORNING WITHOUT ALARM ELENA’S POVI woke before he did, sunlight slipping soft through a gap in the curtains, painting a thin gold line across his shoulder.I just watched him sleep. I’d never once seen him like this, unguarded, mouth opened instead of closed, none of the weight he carried every waking hour pressing down on his face. He looked younger and much cuter. He looked like the boy who used to steal kisses under an oak tree, before Trent and Corvin. Neither of us understood how much the world could take from two people who only wanted each other.His eyes opened slowly, staring at me watching him, and a smile crept across his face in a slow manner.“You’re staring,” he said, voice cracked a bit with sleep.“I’m allowed.”He pulled me back down against his chest, and I let him, tracing ticklish circles over his heart while the estate slowly woke around us, birds finally returning to the trees outside, the distant sound of the kitchen staff starting their morning
THE LUNA THEY NEVER WANTED Chapter 43: NO STORM TONIGHT
CHAPTER 43NO STORM TONIGHT ELENA’S POVSloane’s warning really made me worried for the rest of the evening, but Xander made a decision the moment we walked her to the gate and sent her back with two guards for escort.“Tonight,” he said, turning to face me once she’d disappeared into the dark, “we don’t talk about Trent or Corvin or anyone else trying to take something from us.”“What about tomorrow?”“Tomorrow we plan for all of it.” He held my hands. “Tonight is still ours…besides, the night is still young .”He led me back through the garden, past the lanterns burning low, up a private staircase I’d never noticed tucked along the estate’s eastern wall. At the top, a door opened into rooms I haven’t seen before, warm and serene, candlelight already flickering against the walls.“Your rooms,” I said.“Ours,” he corrected softly, “if you want them to be.”He crossed the room and drew the curtains against the night, shutting out the mountains, the camp, the ceremony waiting two weeks
THE LUNA THEY NEVER WANTED Chapter 42: SOMETHING ORDINARY
CHAPTER 42 SOMETHING ORDINARY ELENA’S POV We didn’t talk about the sister on the ride back. Not because we’d decided not to.. it’s just that there was simply nothing left to say that hadn’t already been said yet, and some things need silence more than words. Xander rode beside me for two days with his mouth slightly open and his eyes somewhere far off,so I let him have it, the same way he’d let me have my own grief the night we buried Marta. Gerafil’s gates came into view on the third evening, warm light spilling from every window. Home. It still surprised me how easily that word made me feel now. Marcus met us at the stables. Talia had not yet resurfaced. Dorian remained under quiet watch, though nothing more happened in our absence. The camp went back to its usual activities, wary but steady. “What about this?,” he said, holding out a folded parchment sealed in gold wax, “arrived yesterday. From the High Priestess.” Xander broke the seal, scanning it quickly before hand
