Lyra's pov

The dark moon was tomorrow.

I had known this for twelve days. I had been counting without meaning to, the way you counted things that had consequences attached to them. Twelve days, then eleven, then the number getting smaller every morning until it was one.

Tomorrow.

I sat at the desk in my room after dinner with a blank piece of paper in front of me and a pen in my hand and I did not write anything for a long time.

The house was quiet. I could hear the distant movement of the eveni

  • The Alpha's Silenced Mate   43: I DON'T THINK ITS A GOOD IDEA.

    Matthias's pov I woke before dawn and lay still for a moment in the dark, which was not unusual. What was unusual was the quality of the stillness — the absence of the particular weight that had been sitting on my chest every morning for three years, the one I had stopped noticing because it had been there long enough to feel like a permanent condition rather than a symptom.It wasn't there this morning.*Best sleep you've had in three years,* Knox said, with no preamble.I know.*I'm just noting it.*I got up before he could note anything else.The card was on my desk where I had left it — the fold open to where my thumb had stopped last night, the wax broken, the first edge of the interior visible but unread. I had come back to the office after leaving Lyra's room and looked at it for a long time before going to bed, and I had not read it then either, and I had not fully understood why until I woke up this morning with three years of weight missing from my chest.I picked it up a

  • The Alpha's Silenced Mate   42: HE WAS KIND TO YOU.

    Lyra's pov He stayed.I hadn't expected him to, not really — Petra's instruction had the feel of something a polite person would agree to and then find a reasonable excuse to leave within ten minutes. But the light shifted from afternoon to early evening and when I surfaced from the shallow half-sleep that kept pulling me under, he was still in the chair.Not watching me. He had found a book somewhere — I didn't know when, I must have been asleep — and was reading with the same focused stillness he brought to everything, one ankle crossed over his knee, the room quiet around him like it had decided to be quiet specifically for him.I watched him for a moment before he noticed I was awake.This was the most unguarded I had ever seen him. Not soft — Matthias was not soft, I didn't think he had ever been soft — but settled. Like a man who had put something down temporarily and was allowing himself the brief rest of not carrying it.He looked up."Better?" he said.I considered honestl

  • The Alpha's Silenced Mate   41: LIKE SAFETY.

    Lyra's pov I woke to the sound of small footsteps in the corridor outside.I knew those footsteps. I had been hearing them for weeks — the particular cadence of someone who had somewhere important to be and had decided that walking faster was the same as being more helpful. They stopped outside my door. A pause. Then three knocks, which was more than Petra usually bothered with."It's me," she said through the door. "Mama said I shouldn't come but I told her you needed me."I sat up against the pillows. My head ached and my throat felt dry and the fever had broken sometime in the night, leaving behind the hollow, scraped-out feeling that came after. I was better than yesterday but I was not, by any honest measure, well.I reached for the notepad on my nightstand and wrote: *Come in.*I held it up toward the door, realized she couldn't see it, and knocked twice on the nightstand instead.The door opened.Petra came in with Rue under one arm and a small cloth bundle in her other hand,

  • The Alpha's Silenced Mate   40: SHE WILL BE ALRIGHT MATTHIAS.

    Matthias's pov I had the card open in my hand, the fold giving way under my thumb, when the knock came — three sharp raps in the particular pattern Alexei had used on every door in every building he had ever entered since he was twelve years old and had decided that knocking was a formality worth personalizing.I closed the card."Come in."He looked different from when he'd left three days ago for his southern ride — less easy, more contained, the quality of a man carrying something he had been turning over for the length of a long journey and had not yet put down. He came in without his usual ambient energy filling the room ahead of him, closed the door behind him, and sat in the chair across from my desk without being invited."I need to tell you something," he said.I set the card face down on the desk. "Talk.""I have a contact in the Farrow territories. You know him — Marcus, the one who runs the southern trading post near the Crestfall border." He leaned forward, forearms on

  • The Alpha's Silenced Mate   39: THAT MEANS SOMETHING.

    Matthias's pov Derek arrived at ten in the morning, punctual and unhurried, with the ease of a man who had decided the meeting was already going the way he wanted it to go.I received him in the west wing formal room — the one with the long table and the territorial maps on the wall, the room I used for negotiations I wanted to feel official without feeling warm. Ryder stood at the door. I sat at the head of the table and gestured Derek to the chair across from me, and he settled into it with the particular comfort of someone who was never uncomfortable anywhere."I appreciate your time, Alpha Matthias," he said."Let's hear the proposal," I said.He smiled, as though my directness was something he found refreshing rather than pointed, and opened the document case he had brought with him.The proposal was good. I would give him that — it was well-constructed, thorough, with the kind of internal logic that made it look inevitable rather than engineered. Shared southern patrol coordina

  • The Alpha's Silenced Mate   38: SOMETHING TRUE.

    Lyra's pov Vera found me before I'd even started the morning prep."I want to do the outer bed assessment today," she said, setting a mug of tea on the table beside me and already moving back toward the supply cabinet. "It's been three weeks since anyone looked at what's growing wild out there, and with the work you've been doing on the inner plots I want to know what we're missing."I reached for the mug and nodded. I had been wanting to look at the outer beds myself — there were two varieties of meadowsweet I had noticed from the garden path that hadn't been cultivated, growing untended along the eastern border of the grounds, and meadowsweet had uses that the healing house stock didn't currently cover."Take Mira and Cael," Vera said. "Make a full inventory. Whatever you think is worth transplanting, flag it and we'll move it next week."She handed me a blank inventory sheet and went back to her morning rounds without ceremony, which was her way of communicating that the conversat
