THE LUNA THEY NEVER WANTED Chapter 35: WHAR WAITS IN THE VALLEY
CHAPTER 35WHAT WAITS IN THE VALLEY ELENA’S POVThe trees changed the moment we crossed into the valley.They stood too still, bark pale and stripped of bark in patches like something had clawed at them from the inside, and though the wind moved through the branches above us, I couldn’t feel it against my skin. Not a single leaf stirred.“This is wrong,” Isadora murmured beside me, her hand hovering near the blade at her hip. “The old texts said the mountain would test the worthy. They never said it would feel like this.”Ahead of us, torchlight flickered between the trees, faint and slightly orange, the only warmth in a place that seemed to swallow every other kind of light.“Sloane,” I called out, my voice sounding smaller than I wanted it to in the heavy silence pressing down around us. “Sloane, can you hear me?”No answer came, only the sound of our own footsteps crunching against frost that shouldn’t have existed this late into the season.Xander stayed close beside me, his body
THE LUNA THEY NEVER WANTED Chapter 34: LIES WEAR PRETTY FACES
CHAPTER 34 LIES WEAR PRETTY FACES XANDER’S POV The words yanked me out of sleep faster than any alarm could have. I was on my feet before I fully positioned myself between Elena and the stranger standing at the edge of camp. My guards flanked her, weapons lowered but posture tense, clearly unsure what to make of a pregnant woman walking calmly into a war camp at dawn. “Who are you?” I demanded. “My name is Rosalind,” she said, one hand resting protectively over her rounded belly. “I know this is a shock. I’ve been trying to find you for weeks.” “I don’t know you,” I said coldly. “You wouldn’t remember,” she said, “We met briefly, months ago, during the trade summit at Ashford. One night. I didn’t think it would lead to this, but…” “Stop.” Elena’s voice was so loud through the tension, than I expected given what she just woke up to. She stood, moving to stand beside me rather than behind me, her eyes sharp on Rosalind’s face. “The Ashford summit was seven months ago. You’re b
THE LUNA THEY NEVER WANTED Chapter 33: THE HUNTED
CHAPTER 33THE HUNTED ELENA’S POVI braced myself for a fight that I thought would come.Isadora’s warriors stood between us and their leader, blades drawn, but their formation looked off. They weren’t advancing toward Ophelia’s cottage and were also facing outward, away from us entirely.I tried touching his hand. “Xander.” I let out a whisper. “They’re not looking at us.”From his silence and stares.. I noticed that he could tell too, his body still tensed to fight but confusion was clearly written all over his face.Isadora stood at the center of it all, her silver hair became loose from its knot, strands sticking to her face filled with sweat. “You,” she said, “I need you to listen to me, and I need you to listen quickly.”“Why would I listen to anything you say?” I replied her back. “You threatened my family. You tried to take my life last night.”“I did,” she agreed, startling me with her admission. “Definitely believed it was necessary but not anymore.”“What changed?” Xande
THE LUNA THEY NEVER WANTED Chapter 32: THE WOMAN WHO REMEMBERED
CHAPTER 32THE WOMAN WHO REMEMBERED ELENA’S POVThe dream. Hmm, if that was even the right word for it, clung to me long after Xander pulled me fully back into the waking world.I have seen mountains. Felt cold stones and also witnessed a circle of trees stripped bare despite the season. “Talk to me,” Xander said, his hands steady on my shoulders even though his eyes carried no life in it. “What did you see?”“Trees,” I said, my voice still shaking. “A circle of them around somewhere cold. Marta arrived minutes later, summoned by one of the guards Xander sent the moment I woke, and listened carefully as I described what little I remembered. Her expression grew more troubled with every detail.“That matches the old descriptions of a convergence site,” she said quietly. “Though I couldn’t tell you which one. There may be more than one location tied to your bloodline.”“Then we need Ophelia now,” I said, already pushing back the blankets. Xander didn’t argue this time.We reached th
THE LUNA THEY NEVER WANTED Chapter 31: IT JUST BEGAN
CHAPTER THIRTY ONEIT JUST BEGANXANDER’S POV“I’ll call my mother,” Elena said, already reaching for her phone. “She’ll know if Ophelia is still around.”While Elena stepped aside to make the call, I turned back to Marta, lowering my voice despite the empty room around us.“How much time do we actually have?” I asked. “Truthfully.”Marta’s expression changed slightly. “The full moon rises in four days. If the pull continues to strengthen and increase at the rate we witnessed tonight, I would guess we have perhaps two days before it becomes strong enough to override her will entirely, regardless of any anchor we’ve already put in place.”Two days??.Two days to find a woman who might not even remember details buried decades deep. This is completely insane, outrageous.. Urghh. The hell. Just that to locate a birthplace lost to time, to somehow build a second anchor strong enough to hold against a pull older, faster and hungrier than anything either of us fully understood.“We’ll find
THE LUNA THEY NEVER WANTED Chapter 30: THE PULL
CHAPTER THIRTYTHE PULLELENA’S POVMarta looked at me, the look of sorrow was heavy behind her eyes.“It means,” she said slowly, “the choice might not actually be yours to make.”Suddenly, I felt a pull that dragged my attention toward the northern mountains. It was visible just beyond the archive room’s small window.Xander’s PovI saw it happen before she could utter a word.Elena’s eyes were heavily fixed on the window. It felt like the rest of us simply disappeared from the room. Her hand slipped from mine, and when I reached for her again, her skin burned hot enough to make me flinch.“Elena.” I gripped her shoulders, forcing her to look at me. “Elena, stay with me.”“The mountains,” she whispered, her voice sounding far away, “It’s calling me there.”“No,” I said firmly, my squeeze increasing. “You’re staying right here.”Marta moved quickly, pressing her palm against Elena’s forehead, whispering little words low under her breath. The pendant’s glow, dimmed slightly, and Elena
