THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS DAUGHTER Chapter Fifty-Seven — A Step Too Close
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS'S DAUGHTERChapter Fifty-Seven — A Step Too CloseSophia POVOn the sixth afternoon, the guards are standing in the wrong place.I see it from the far end of the kitchen garden, basket on my arm, shears in my hand, working down the row of bitter-leaf at exactly the pace I've worked it every day since I began. For five days a single guard has stood at the post by the wall, bent over the little book on its slanted desk while the next man walked up the path to relieve him. Five days of the same few breaths, the same turned back.Today there are two of them, and they're standing at the end of the rosemary row, forty paces closer to me than the post ever was, and neither one is looking at a book.The desk is still there. Nobody's bending over it.I don't stop cutting. I lay a stalk in my basket, take the next one, and let my face stay as plain as the leaf.It's what Lyra taught me, though she'd never claim it. You don't announce what you've noticed. Yo
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS DAUGHTER Chapter Fifty-Six — The Room Was Prepared
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS'S DAUGHTERChapter Fifty-Six — The Room Was PreparedDamon POVI could draw my father's seal from memory now.Mira confirmed it weeks ago, and I've read it so many times since that the shape of it comes unbidden when I close my eyes: the room prepared two days early, the purpose scrubbed from the record, the corridor cleared before anyone had been told why. I keep returning to that page the way you press a bruise. It doesn't tell me anything new. It only tells me it hurts.So this morning I stop asking what the seal says and start asking who could actually have opened the door.I've known Bram my whole life without ever speaking to him for more than a moment. He holds the east wing keys, an old, stooped man with a ring on his belt that sounds like loose coins whenever he moves. His office is a closet at the foot of the east stair that smells of lamp oil and brass polish, and he stands when I fill the doorway, then doesn't seem to know whether he's
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS DAUGHTER Chapter Fifty-Five — The Pattern She Chose
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS'S DAUGHTERChapter Fifty-Five — The Pattern She ChoseSophia POVI stop sleeping badly on purpose.It takes me three nights to understand what the men outside my door are actually looking for. They don't care what I do. They care when. A light under the door past the settling bell, footsteps on the stairs at the wrong hour, a servant awake when servants should be asleep. Anything that breaks the pattern gets written down, and anything written down can be read later by someone cleverer than the man holding the pen.So I stop giving them anything to write.Bed at the second bell. Up at the fifth. The same stairs, the same corridor, the same pause at the kitchen door to let the cook's boy through ahead of me. I walk the route of an ordinary girl until it's so ordinary that even I stop noticing it. Boredom is a kind of armor. Nobody reads a ledger that says nothing forty times.Nights are the hardest. I lie still on my back and listen to the wood outsi
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS DAUGHTER Chapter Fifty-Four — A Memory That Wouldn't Stay Buried
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS'S DAUGHTERChapter Fifty-Four — A Memory That Wouldn't Stay BuriedDamon POVI ask for the breakage book before breakfast, and the head servant tells me it's with the quartermaster until midday.So I have hours with nothing to do but be a man who has already learned that wanting a memory doesn't summon it. I've stopped chasing the face. Three nights of that gave me nothing but a headache and a requisition slip gone soft in my coat. Instead I do what I'd do with any case that refuses to give up its history. I ask someone who knows how the body forgets.The healer is changing a warrior's bandage when I find him, and he doesn't ask why the Alpha Prince is standing in his doorway at an hour when I should be at the council table. He's learned not to."A hypothetical," I say. "A man drinks two or three cups of wine over an evening. He wakes with a pounding head and almost nothing of the night, but there are small, clear patches inside the dark. Whole sen
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS DAUGHTER Chapter Fifty-Three — The Eyes He Remembered
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS'S DAUGHTERChapter Fifty-Three — The Eyes He RememberedDamon POVI treat my own memory the way I'd treat a patient who can't be trusted to say where it hurts. I don't ask it how it feels. I ask what it can prove.For weeks, it has proved very little. Dark hair, loose. A low, careful voice. One sentence about not belonging that hit harder than it should have. A figure in the east corridor carrying something wrapped in dark cloth. I've laid those pieces side by side more times than I can count, and they've told me what a list of symptoms always tells you when you want one diagnosis badly enough: nothing, until something new arrives.I've done what I can with what I have. I stood in front of the whole pack and told my father his decree had no evidence behind it, and I lost. I know exactly how little that counts against what I did to Sophia. It's something. It isn't nearly enough.I take the servants' passage to dinner because it's the only route that
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS DAUGHTER Chapter Fifty-Two — Watched
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS'S DAUGHTERChapter Fifty-Two — WatchedSophia POVI don't move. I don't breathe, not properly, not in any way that might carry sound through the thin wood of my door."She's awake again," the voice says, low, careful to stay quiet itself.A second voice answers, closer to the stairwell. "Third night this week. Write it down. The order was clear — any irregular hours, any time she's up past when the rest of the household settles.""She's a servant. Servants keep odd hours.""Not our business to decide what counts. Write it down and report it in the morning."Footsteps retreat, unhurried, the particular rhythm of men who aren't afraid of being overheard because they believe they have every right to be exactly where they are.I stay pressed against the wall long after the sound fades completely, my heart slowing in slow, uneven stages, the fear draining out of me and leaving something colder and more useful behind it.They aren't demons from my dream
