since my arrival he had only spoke nowHe sat in the Alpha’s seat above the council, and the exhaustion on his face was impossible to miss. The past few weeks had clearly worn him down. I forced myself not to look at him for too long, even though I could feel his eyes following me as I walked to the center of the hall. “Lady Vivienne told this council that she was forced to do it,” I said, keeping my voice calm and steady, just as

The Alpha Rejected the wrong Luna Chapter 60: Blood on the Northern Road**
We moved east under what little cover the thinning trees still offered.Talia kept the pace brutal and steady. The two other scouts ranged wide, one ahead and one behind, while the runner who had brought Vivienne’s letter stayed close enough to relay any signal. I conserved the fire as much as the hunt allowed. Every time the residual silver light tried to surface under my skin I forced it down again, though the effort left a low, constant ache behind my eyes. The letter’s warning stayed sharp in my mind: Kael wanted me using the power. Every flare spent time I no longer had in abundance.Near dawn the trees opened onto the northern road—the old packed-earth track that once carried trade between the border villages and the outer Ashwood holdings. It should have been empty. Instead we found the remains of a fight that had ended only hours earlier.Bodies lay scattered across the road and into the ditches. Most wore the mixed cloaks of the small combined patrols my father and Damon had
The Alpha Rejected the wrong Luna Chapter 59: Vivienne’s Second Letter
Night settled fully while I rested in the blind.Talia rotated the watch without comment. One scout remained at the upper approach, the other at the lower. I used the time to force the silver light as far down as it would go. It obeyed more slowly than it used to. Even after I stopped calling it, a faint shimmer lingered along the insides of my wrists and at the base of my throat, visible whenever the covered lamp was unshielded for a moment. Talia saw it. She did not speak of it again.Near midnight the lower scout gave a short, controlled whistle.Talia extinguished the lamp and moved to the entrance in silence. A moment later she returned with a fourth figure—a Crimson Hollow runner I recognized from the main compound, face streaked with dirt and the kind of exhaustion that came from hard travel through hostile ground. He dropped to one knee, breathing hard, and held out a sealed packet.“Intercepted on the old trade road south of the burning villages,” he said. “Carrier was Bloodm
The Alpha Rejected the wrong Luna Chapter 58: The Weight of Amber Eyes
The pines eventually gave way to a narrower stretch of mixed forest where the ground turned rocky and the canopy thinned. I slowed only enough to keep my footing. The horns had not faded completely; they had simply spread wider, trying to drive me toward the open ground to the west where the next burned village still sent up smoke.The silver light under my skin would not fully die.I kept checking my wrists as I ran. Every time I thought I had forced the last glow down, a faint shimmer returned along the veins, visible even in the low light. It answered my heartbeat instead of my will. Mara’s words stayed with me stride after stride. The fraying had begun. I was no longer imagining it.A steep bank dropped toward a shallow river I did not recognize from any map I had studied. I slid down it on my heels and entered the water without hesitation, letting the current carry me a short distance before I climbed out on the opposite side. The cold helped. For a few minutes the glow beneath m
The Alpha Rejected the wrong Luna Chapter 57: Mara’s Confession
The circle closed faster than I could reshape the fire.Orange light flared from a dozen palms at once, forcing my silver shield tighter and tighter around the stone platform. Every impact sent a fresh tremor up my arms. The moonfire no longer answered with clean precision. It surged and lagged in uneven pulses, as if it had grown tired of being told what shape to take and wanted only to burn free.I chose the narrowest point in the ring and drove a spear of silver straight through it.The fighter who took the hit went down hard. The two beside him staggered. I leapt from the platform in that small gap and hit the meadow running. Orange bolts scorched the grass on either side of me. One clipped my shoulder hard enough to spin me halfway around, but the fire in my own blood closed the burn before it could deepen. I kept my feet and plunged into the trees on the far side.They followed.Branches whipped my face. Roots tried to take my ankles. I let the silver light flare in short, brigh
The Alpha Rejected the wrong Luna Chapter 56: Lines That Will Not Hold
I ran until the smoke from the first village was only a dark smear behind me. The silver fire stayed just high enough to leave a faint trail of light through the trees—bright enough for Kael’s scouts to follow, controlled enough that I could still pull it back if I had to. Every time I let the power rise, the cost settled deeper into my bones. Mara’s warning lived in every tremor of my hands. The clock she had measured in days was now counting in hours. Horns answered one another across the ridges. They were no longer searching in wide patterns. They had locked onto the silver and were closing with purpose. I kept to the higher ground, using the rocky spine of the hills the way Rowe had taught me years ago, forcing the pursuers to climb while I moved along the spine. Twice I stopped long enough to shape a brief, bright flare and send it arcing over the treetops like a signal. Both times the horns shifted direction almost immediately. They were hunting the fire, not the woman carry
The Alpha Rejected the wrong Luna Chapter 55: The Border Burns
By late afternoon the trees began to thin and the smell of smoke reached us on the wind. Not the thin, controlled smoke of cook fires. This was heavier, laced with the sharp reek of burning thatch and the darker undertone of pitch. Cato stopped us at the edge of a rocky overlook and pointed north. In the distance, beyond the last belt of pine, three separate columns of black smoke rose against the pale sky. “Border villages,” he said. “The ones that sit between Ashwood’s northern holdings and the old contested line. Kael isn’t waiting for you to bring those records anywhere. He’s already started the next phase.” Damon stared at the smoke with a face carved from stone. The bond wound had worsened through the day’s hard travel; every breath he took was measured and careful. I felt the drag of it through the unfinished connection like a constant weight against my own ribs. The silver fire stirred restlessly, sensing the violence ahead the same way it had sensed the army on the ridge
