THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS DAUGHTER Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Blood on the Throne
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS'S DAUGHTERChapter Sixty-Eight: The Blood on the ThroneSophia POVMara brings the bread at dusk, the way she used to when I was small.Halen allowed it, the guard on the landing says, because a prisoner who isn't fed becomes a prisoner someone has to answer for. She stands in the door with a cloth-wrapped heel of loaf in both hands and doesn't know where to put herself. It's the first time I've seen her since the gate. She looks smaller than I remember."You're thin," she says."I'm kept.""That's not what I said." She sets the bread on the table beside the cup and looks at the cup, and at me, and doesn't ask why a prisoner keeps a tin cup brimming to the lip. "They're saying things in the kitchens, girl. Half say the Prince's men killed old Mira. Half say it was the Alpha's. Every hall's been told the other is coming.""Coming where?""Here, some say. For you." She wrings her apron. "Keep your head down. Whatever happens. You always did know how
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS DAUGHTER Chapter Sixty-Seven: Seraphina's Second War
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS'S DAUGHTERChapter Sixty-Seven: Seraphina's Second WarDamon POVThe first order reaches the northern gate at dusk, folded once, with my seal pressed into the wax.I haven't sent it. My signet sits on a folded blanket in a chair in the great hall, under the household's care, and I haven't touched it in three days. But Garrick holds the paper up in the guardroom lamplight, his thumb beside the crest, and the crest is mine."Pull the ridge watch to the south wall," he reads. "Tonight. By the Prince's word." He lowers it. "I thought you'd lost your authority, my lord.""I have.""Then whose is this?"Lyra takes the page from him and turns it toward the lamp. She runs a nail along the impression, slowly, the way she'd test the edge of a blade. "Good wax. Good hand," she says. "Whoever it was had the seal itself, or a very patient copyist.""Which do we follow?" Garrick asks. "You, or this?"I haven't got an answer a captain can use. If I say ignore it
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS DAUGHTER Chapter Sixty-Six: The Power Within
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS'S DAUGHTERChapter Sixty-Six: The Power WithinSophia POVThe boots don't move.Light still lies over my hands like cold milk. I can't remember when I last breathed. Outside the door, a man shifts his weight and the landing board answers, and I understand he's waiting for the light under the door to go on being there, so he can be sure.On the table beside the bed sit the jug and the tin cup the guard brought at dusk. Slow the breath until the surface goes flat, Lyra said. That's the whole drill.I pull the cup toward me and look into it.The water isn't level. The cup sits on a level table, and the water inside leans, a thin slope rising against the east side of the rim as though something past the wall were drawing a sheet toward it. I hold the cup still. The slope climbs another finger-width.In. Out. Slower than I've ever breathed.The silver on my hands thins like frost on a window. The slope sinks. The surface goes flat and then flatter, and
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS DAUGHTER Chapter Sixty-Five: The Secret of Her Power
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS'S DAUGHTERChapter Sixty-Five: The Secret of Her PowerSophia POVHalen tells me before the second bell."The Alpha has asked to speak with you." He stands inside the door of the narrow room with his lamp lowered, a grey shape against the stair. "Any person in the council's keeping may be spoken to by the Alpha, if a witness from the council hears every word. I am the witness. You may refuse."I have been in this room two nights. I know the pattern of the beams, and the stain on the ceiling shaped like a river. I know how long a council guard's boots take to cross the landing."If I refuse?""Then he goes away, and the council records that he asked." His face gives nothing. "I would not call it a courtesy. I'd call it a rule."I think of the last thing I learned by leaving a question alone. It cost me nineteen years."Let him come."---Kael doesn't bring tea, or a letter, or his robes. He comes in a plain dark coat, alone, and stands in the middle
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS DAUGHTER Chapter Sixty-Four: The Son Against the King
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS'S DAUGHTERChapter Sixty-Four: The Son Against the KingDamon POVThe chair is the first thing I see.It stands alone in the middle of the great hall's floor, facing the benches, with a folded blanket draped over one arm. Someone has even set a cup of water on the flagstone beside it. A prince at rest, where everyone can watch him rest.The whole pack is here. They've filled the benches and the aisles and the gallery rail, and the murmur drops by half as I walk in on my own feet, past the chair, to the open floor beyond it.My father sits on the dais in his council robes, hands on the arms of his seat. Elders flank him on both sides. Halen is at the far end, in council grey, with his lamp hands folded in his lap. Aldric stands at the dais step with a roll of paper. Along the back wall, between two council guards, is a woman in a servant's brown, her hands at her sides. Lyra stands at the door in her armor, not looking at anything.Sophia doesn't l
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS DAUGHTER Chapter Sixty-Three: Damon Chooses His Side
THE REJECTED MATE IS THE MOON GODDESS'S DAUGHTERChapter Sixty-Three: Damon Chooses His SideDamon POVMy father doesn't lock the door. That's how I know he's thought it through.By dusk it's arranged. The healer arrives at my rooms with a folded note and an apologetic face: the Alpha asks that the Prince rest, under watch, until the draught is out of his blood. There's no charge in it, no order, and no word like confined. A son is unwell, and a father is worried.I go. Fighting would only have been a symptom.So I lie in the healer's ward on a cot I've stood beside a hundred times, under a blanket I didn't ask for. Two guards stand either side of the door, the way men stand when they've been told to be gentle.Kael comes after the lamps are lowered. He doesn't bring tea this time. He sits on the stool by my cot and rests his hands on his knees, and for a moment he looks his age."The healer says the dose may linger in the blood for months," he says."He told you no such thing.""He t
