The Alpha’s Shadow Luna Chapter 194
KeanuThe stranger was buying apples when I first noticed him.Tempest had sent me down to the village for sour plums, which she had been eating by the basket lately, and I was three stalls away with a paper bag in my hand when something at the edge of my attention snagged and held.He was nothing to look at. A traveling man of middling age in a good plain coat, road dust on his boots, choosing apples one at a time and turning each in his fingers before setting it in the scale. He paid the fruit seller exactly, to the coin. He thanked her. He said something that made her laugh, and she weighed his fruit with the easy shoulders of a woman talking to the least dangerous person she had met all week.And every scale on my body wanted to stand up.I stayed where I was and picked through plums I had already picked through, and I listened the way the druids taught me to listen, past the market noise, down the thin channel of one voice.“… beautiful country,” he was saying. “The light through

DarienWe fought. It was good work, the kind that empties the head, and he pushed me the way only Cain could push me, all mass and speed and several dirty tricks. I gave him shadow in return, tendrils attacking his flanks while we traded hands in the center, and my powers held. Ten minutes of sustained work, then fifteen, and the well inside me drew down slow and steady instead of draining out the bottom the way it used to.Then he feinted left, came in low and fast on the right, and there was a moment where I saw it happening and knew my body was half a step behind it.So I left.I don’t know how else to describe the first time. The shadow of the wall lay long across the yard behind me, and I needed to not be where I was, and some new instinct reached for that darkness the way a hand r

DarienTwo silences had been sitting over my map for weeks. One of them broke on a Tuesday.The reports came in with the morning couriers, three of them within an hour of each other, and by the time Cain spread them across the study table we both understood what we were looking at. The southern rogues were moving again. Not the scattered probing from the weeks before the silence. This was different. Two packs on opposite ends of the southern territories hit on the same night, within the same hour, by groups that struck the weakest point of each perimeter and withdrew before any response could form.“Same night,” Cain said, tapping the two reports. “Same hour. A hundred miles apart.”“Which means communication.”“Which means command.” He straightened, arms crossing over his chest. “Rogues don’t have runners, Darien. They don’t have signal lines or timetables. Somebody is moving these groups like pieces on a board, and they’ve stopped caring whether we notice.”I studied the map. The so

LeahAnton was not.I called him that evening from the chair by the window, and he picked up on the fourth ring instead of the second. That was the first thing that bothered me.“There she is,” he said. “The queen graces me.”“You sound rough.”“I sound like a man who’s been awake a while. There’s a difference.” Something scraped in the background, a chair or a door. “How’s the family? Is the dragon behaving?”“Which one?”“Either. Both. How is mated life treating Keanu?”“She made a rain cloud over Keanu&

LeahTwo weeks had passed since Keanu and Tempest came home from the forest with matching marks on their necks, and the whole castle had adjusted around them without anyone saying a word.The kitchen started keeping her bitter mountain tea in stock. The gardeners gave up the entire eastern bed, dedicated to her. Someone moved a chair with a proper back into the solarium, because a pregnant woman needs somewhere decent to sit, and nobody ever admitted to doing it.And every morning I woke up with Darien’s arm across my waist and nothing hurting, nothing draining me, nothing left in my blood but me.“You’re doing it again,” he murmured into my hair.“Doing what?”“Grinning at the ceiling like an idiot.”“I’m well.” I rolled over to face him and found his eyes already open. “I’m allowed to grin at whatever I want.”“You are.” He tucked a piece of hair behind my ear, and his thumb stayed against my cheek. “Grin away. I’m going to watch.”We stayed in bed longer than two people with a king

KeanuShe lowered herself down onto my jacket among the ferns and drew me over her, and when I touched her mark, the fresh gold on the side of her throat, she made a sound I had never heard from her.So I did it again.The bond lit like a struck match. I felt her pleasure crash into mine and double back, her gasp arriving in my chest before it left her mouth, and her eyes flew open and locked on mine because she felt it too, all of it, the ache I had carried for months pouring straight into her.“You feel it,” I said.“Keanu …” Her fingers found the silver-violet mark on my neck and pressed, and my whole body jerked. “Oh. Oh, I’m so sorry … I wish—”
