•MARY•

The drive to Whitlock territory took most of the night.

I sat in the passenger seat and watched the trees blur past the window while Xander drove in silence. Neither of us spoke much.

There wasn't anything left to say that would make any of this feel better, so we just sat with the weight of it and let the miles pass.

By the time the familiar stone entrance of Whitlock pack came into view, the sun was rising.

I hadn't been back here in years. I had told myself I never would be.

  • The Banished Luna Returns!   EPILOGUE

    •CATHERINE•[A YEAR LATER]I had Kane against my chest in his carrier, one hand pressed gently against his back as I walked down the corridor beside the officer who had come to escort me. Kane was eleven months old and entirely unbothered by his surroundings, his dark eyes moving with lazy curiosity over every new ceiling and every new light as we passed beneath them.He had Leo's eyes.I had asked for this visit myself. Leo had tried to talk me out of it. In the end he had driven me here and waited in the car.The officer stopped outside a door and nodded to me. I stepped through.Elias was already seated at the table on the other side of the glass partition. He looked up when I came in.I sat down across from him and settled Kane more comfortably against my chest.Elias looked at the baby for a long moment before looking back at me.I didn't give him time to open with whatever he had prepared."I came to tell you something," I said. "Not to argue. Not to shout at you. Just to say i

    •CATHERINE•Viktor's funeral was held three days later.The pack chose a burial ground at the edge of Eclipseborn territory, where the treeline opened into a wide, quiet clearing.I dressed slowly that morning.I stood in front of the mirror for a long time without really seeing my reflection. I kept thinking about the last real conversation Viktor and I had in that clinic room.If I had known that would be our last conversation, I would've told him the truth about the baby. ***Julie and Lila were waiting outside when I came through the door.Julie didn't say anything when she saw my face. She just stepped forward and put her arms around me. I held her back and closed my eyes for a moment.Lila stood close with her hand on my shoulder when Julie finally stepped back. Her eyes were red at the edges. She had never met Viktor, but she had seen what he meant to me, and that was enough for her to grieve alongside me without needing any other reason.Leo was waiting near the car with Bri

    •LEO•I was sitting on the couch in the living room when I heard her footsteps in the hallway.I had been awake for most of the night. After bringing Catherine back to Crescent Moon and making sure she was settled, I sat with Brian for a while until he fell asleep in the chair beside her bed. Then I had come out here and stayed, unable to rest, my mind turning over everything that had happened on that road.The Lycan King was dead. It was done. The war that had been building and bleeding into everything for so long was finally over.But the night had brought other news. News I had been sitting with for hours, trying to find the right way to carry it.When Catherine appeared in the doorway and the elders bowed their heads, I stayed where I was and watched her face. I saw the steadiness in it. The quiet strength of someone who had already decided who they were long before anyone else acknowledged it.When the elders finally straightened and began to speak quietly amongst themselves, C

    •CATHERINE•The Lycan King didn't move.Neither did I. I held my ground, and looked at him, readying myself for what was to come next. He screamed as he came toward me with his fist in the air. The impact sent me sideways across the road. I hit the ground hard, rolled, and came back up before he could press forward. He was faster than his size suggested, closing the distance between us with a speed that left almost no room to breathe.I ducked under his second strike and drove into his side with everything I had. He barely moved. But he felt itGood.We collided again and again across that road, and every time I went down I came back up. I was a little smaller than him but I was faster, and Nyra moved through me with a clarity and fury that sharpened everything down to pure instinct.But he was wearing me down. I could feel it. Each impact cost more than the last, and my legs were beginning to feel the weight of it.Then Leo moved.He shifted and came in from the Lycan King's left

    •BRIAN•I was heading out to the training grounds when I heard Luke talking with someone in the living room. My dad was gone, so when I peeked over, I saw him talking with Bruce. "It is confirmed," Luke said. "Both of them. Mary and Xander Whitlock. They're gone.""Are you sure about this?" Bruce asked. "The Alpha hasn't said anything about this before he left." "He's probably dealing with the news his own way and will inform the entire pack when he returns," Luke answered. "I am just happy that my son has been avenged and Rylan as well." "That's right," Bruce answered. "But who killed them?" "Alpha Whitlock handled it himself apparently," Luke replied. "He killed his own children and buried them by the side of the road where he took their lives."I leaned against the wall in the corridor and couldn't move or breathe. Mary was dead.The woman who had made my father's life miserable for years. The woman who had looked at me like I was an inconvenience every time I crossed her path

    •CATHERINE• Leo stood in my doorway and didn't move for a long moment. I watched his face go through several things at once. Surprise first, then his eyes softened. He knew. "Come inside," I muttered. He stepped through the door and I closed it behind him. We sat across from each other in the sitting room. I had my hands folded in my lap. Neither of us spoke for a moment. "How far along?" he asked. "Not far," I answered. "But far enough to know for certain." He nodded. His jaw was tight but his eyes were soft in a way I didn't see from him often. "Leo," I said. "I need your help." "You have it," he replied immediately. "Whatever you need." "I need to end this war with the lycans," I replied. "I don't want to slow it down anymore." I held his gaze. "I have already lost too much. And I will not bring a child into a world where they are hunted before they are even born." Leo was quiet for a moment. "You want to go north." "The Lycan King operates out of the northern territo

    •CATHERINE•I swallowed at Viktor's question and felt like the walls were closing in on me. I didn't even know what to say when the right thing was to assure him that Leo was my past. But I just stood there and didn't even know what to say. My tongue got stuck at the top of my mouth, and I felt a

    •CATHERINE•"Hey, Julie," I said into the phone, sitting on the couch on the balcony."Catherine?" Her voice rose in disbelief. "My goodness, I never thought I would hear from you again. Where are you? We’ve been trying to call for days, worried sick.""I’m fine," I reassured her, forcing calm into

    •ELIAS•'We loved her, Elias,' Flint murmured in my head when I was in my car. 'How could she choose someone else after everything we had been through with her? Doesn't it all mean something to her?' I had just arrived home from work and parked outside the driveway, unable to hop out of the car.

This world may not be kind to our nature, but my love for you will protect you always." "Mommy, is Daddy going to be alright?" I asked, hoping that
