  • The Alpha Who Lost the Moon   Chapter 52: Voices in the Dark

    Nyra's POVThe whisper comes first, before the chains even finish humming against my skin.I feel it thread through the ache in my chest, faint as breath on glass, and my whole body goes rigid against the altar stone. Not now. I don't have room for this now.I've felt this pull only once before. Five years ago, collapsed at the edge of Shadowpine Forest, dying by inches while the corrupted bond ate through me like frost through bark. Back then the voices came clear and overwhelming, a chorus of grief older than the packs themselves, offering me a choice I was too broken to understand.They're back. Muted through the Council's chains, thinned to almost nothing, but back.Come home, on

  • The Alpha Who Lost the Moon   Chapter 51: The Council Divides

    Dorian's POVFear makes a room easier to command than loyalty ever could.I've known this since I was young enough to test it on lesser men, and tonight, standing before the assembled Council, I watch the theory prove itself once more. Seven faces around the chamber table. Candlelight catches the sweat on Corin's brow, the tremor in Verrin's folded hands, the particular slackness of men who've spent a lifetime avoiding hard choices and now find one forced upon them at last, whether they like it or not.Good. Exhaustion breeds obedience faster than conviction ever does."The Moonshadow's power isn't a gift." I let my voice carry the weight of reluctant duty, the tone of a man who wishes circumstances allowed for kindness and finds, t

  • The Alpha Who Lost the Moon   Chapter 50: Counting Allies

    Mira's POVTwelve packs. Six worth counting.Charcoal snaps under my grip. I toss the broken half aside and reach for another, cursing under my breath. Two tents over, Kael's finally down. Doctor Fenn's sedative did what three hours of arguing couldn't manage. His body needs the stillness. Breaking a five-year curse in one night doesn't come free, and he paid for it in blood I watched soak clean through his shirt.Someone has to move while he can't.My own side throbs where a rogue's claws caught me earlier, but that wound can wait. Everything can wait except this.Outside, the camp groans with its own damage. Wounded stacked two to a cot. A healer barking for more bandages. Somewhere past the treeline, a wolf howls low and m

  • The Alpha Who Lost the Moon   Chapter 49: Freed

    Kael's POVThe moment the blood magic lets go, I hit the ground like something already dead.My knees crack against stone I don't even feel. My arms give out next, and I go down hard onto my elbows, gasping air that tastes like copper and ash. The magic doesn't fade slow. It just stops, all at once, the way a hand stops choking you right before you black out, and the sudden absence of it is almost worse than the grip itself.I stay there for one second. Two.Then I force myself up.My legs shake under me, muscles screaming from holding against something that wanted to grind me into the floor. My shirt is soaked through, blood and sweat both, and my vision swims at the edges, gray creeping in like fog rolling off a lake.I don't care."Nyra. . . Nyra. . . Nyra. . ." I say, and my voice comes out shredded, barely a voice at all.She's gone. The corridor she disappeared down is empty. Dorian is gone. Their men are gone. The only proof any of it happened is the blood on the stones and t

  • The Alpha Who Lost the Moon   Chapter 48: Altar Bound

    Nyra's POVCold stone. That's the first thing I feel, before I even open my eyes.Cold stone under my back, and chains that hum against my wrists like they're alive.I open my eyes slowly, and the sky above me is wrong. Gray, heavy, pressing down like it's waiting for something. I try to sit up and my whole body screams in protest, every muscle aching like I've been carrying a mountain on my back for days.The altar.I remember now. The binding circle. The men who dragged me here without hurry, without fear, because they knew I couldn't stop them.I look down at my wrists. The chains are old, etched with symbols I don't recognize but somehow feel in my bones, like something ancient is chewing on the edges of my power and swallowing it slow.I reach for Senna.She's there. Barely. A whisper instead of a howl.I'm here, she says, faint as a candle in wind. I'm still here.I hold onto that. It's the only warm thing left.The corrupted bond throbs somewhere behind my ribs, colder than it'

  • The Alpha Who Lost the Moon   Chapter 47: Captured

    Nyra's POVThe binding circle closes.And I stop existing the way I have learned to exist.Not dead. Not unconscious. Just... muffled. Like someone pressed a pillow over the part of me that has kept me alive for five years. My power is still there, I can feel it, but it is behind glass now. Pressed back. Held down by something old and deliberate and thorough.I have not felt this helpless since I was twenty-two years old, collapsing on cold stone while a crowd of wolves looked through me.I had promised myself I would never feel this way again.I breathe. Slow. Through my nose.Don't panic. Don't give them the satisfaction.The men holding my arms are not rough, which is somehow worse. Rough would mean they are afraid of me. This careful, practiced grip means they have done this before. They know exactly how much pressure to use. They have handled wolves like me and they are not impressed.Dorian stands to my left, watching.He does not touch me himself.Of course he doesn't."There s
