TOO FAT TO BE LUNA CHAPTER 91
I didn't answer immediately.Not because the answer wasn't there — it was there, had been there since the moment Aria sat down across from me with that specific quality in her face that meant she had already done the work of arriving at the right question and was now waiting for me to do the same with the answer.I didn't answer immediately because the answer deserved the respect of being given precisely.I looked at the table.At the records spread across it — three centuries of documentation of what happened when people decided that certain lives were less valuable than others. What happened when ideology was given enough time and enough commitment and enough willingness to treat human beings as variables in a calculation.I thought about my daughter's gold eyes.My son's silver ones.The specific weight of a small person in my arms and what that weight had done to every previous understanding I'd had of what mattered and why.I looked at Aria."Yes," I said.One word.I let it sit
TOO FAT TO BE LUNA CHAPTER 90
ARIA'S POVI stood in the corridor for a long time after Sera left.Not processing — I wasn't processing yet. Processing requires a kind of internal organization that the first several minutes after certain information arrives doesn't allow. What I was doing was simpler and less functional than processing. I was standing. Breathing. Existing in the specific suspended state of someone whose mind has received something it hasn't yet decided what to do with.Three months.The baby would be born in three months.Kael's child — biologically, undeniably, regardless of the circumstances of conception. The Purity Pack had taken his DNA years ago, Sera had said. Before he knew her. Before any of this. Before the ravine and the mate bond and the twins and three years of building something real on top of the rubble of everything that came before.They had taken something of his without his knowledge and used it in a basement and the result was a child who would arrive in three months and was in
TOO FAT TO BE LUNA CHAPTER 89
ARIA'S POVMaren requested the meeting.That was how I knew it was serious — not because Maren didn't take things seriously, she took everything seriously, but because she requested rather than suggested, and the distinction in her vocabulary was meaningful. A suggestion from Maren meant she had information she thought would be useful. A request meant she had information she thought couldn't wait.She came with Aldric and Petra.Dr. Chen was already in the room when they arrived — I had asked her specifically, because whatever the Council was about to explain would have medical dimensions and I wanted Dr. Chen's precision available in real time rather than translated through my own imperfect understanding afterward.Kael sat beside me.We had not spoken again about the bond since three in the morning. Not because it wasn't present — it was present continuously, the reactivated thread running alongside the one between us with the specific persistence of something that had been suppres
TOO FAT TO BE LUNA CHAPTER 88
ARIA'S POVI left them alone.Not immediately — I stayed long enough that leaving didn't feel like abandonment, long enough to establish that the room contained a doctor's presence and a guard rotation and everything that twenty minutes of quiet conversation with Dr. Chen had determined Sera needed for the next several hours.Then I found a reason to be needed elsewhere.It wasn't difficult. The compound's aftermath generated reasons continuously — records to catalogue, prisoners to process, allied pack communications to manage, the hundred logistical demands of three months of systematic operations reaching their conclusion simultaneously. I moved through all of it with the focused efficiency of someone who was grateful, specifically, for the existence of tasks that required her complete attention.Marcus found me two hours later in the records room.He looked at my face and didn't ask.That was Marcus. He assessed and filed and adjusted his approach accordingly, which in this case m
TOO FAT TO BE LUNA CHAPTER 87
ARIA'S POV Dr. Chen arrived within the hour with a team of six and the specific composed urgency of someone who had heard twenty Royal Wolves, basement, years of captivity and had spent the drive mentally preparing for every version of what that could mean. What it meant exceeded most of her preparation. She moved through the cells with the careful unhurried efficiency that I had learned, over months, was her actual speed when speed alone wasn't the priority — the specific pace of someone who understood that trauma required a different clock than physical injury, that rushing a person who had spent years learning that sudden movement meant danger would undo as much as it fixed. "No restraints," she said quietly to her team, before they'd opened the first cell. "No sudden approach. Let them come to the door if they're willing. If they're not, we wait." We waited. It took longer than I expected. The woman in the first cell — gold-eyed, the one who hadn't moved toward the door whe

KAEL'S POVThaddeus died on a Tuesday.By Thursday we had interrogated every captured Purity Pack member in our holding facility. By the following Monday we had our first confirmed cell location. By the end of the first week we had seven.Aria conducted the interrogations herself.I had offered to take them — had made the case, practically, that she was still recovering, that the bond push during the duel had cost her reserves she hadn't fully rebuilt, that there were other ways to extract the information that didn't require her to be present for every session.She had listened to the entire argument.Then she had walked into the first interrogation room and sat down across from the prisoner and looked at him with the specific quality of someone who has run out of patience for the distance between where things are and where they need to be."Where are the cells," she said.The Royal command underneath it — not the full weight, not the forced compliance she was capable of. Something mo
TOO FAT TO BE LUNA CHAPTER 52
ARIA’S POVThe war room again.Same table. Different weight.Dr. Chen had given us an hour — practical, in the way she was practical, understanding that information like this required processing before it became workable. She’d handed Kael a medical summary with the specific efficiency of someone w
TOO FAT TO BE LUNA CHAPTER 50
ARIA’S POVI picked up the letter.Vivian’s seal, intact. The wax the specific dark red of someone who’d chosen their color with intention and used it consistently for twenty years. I turned it over in my hands, feeling the dark magic residue in the paper — faint, old, the signature of something wr
TOO FAT TO BE LUNA CHAPTER 45
ARIA’S POVThe celebration didn’t happen.There was a moment — brief, the length of a breath — when the courtyard’s tension shifted and the Crescent Moon pack members watching from the edges began to move toward something that might have become relief. The threat gone, the ritual broken, Vivian and
TOO FAT TO BE LUNA CHAPTER 38
ARIA’S POV“PLEASE—”The word dissolved before it finished.Not because the pain stopped.Because something else started.Vivian’s working hit the original curse the way she’d designed it to — finding the architecture she’d built twenty-three years ago, feeding it power from outside while it pulled
