The Blood Moon Prophecy Chapter 168
POV: AnaraIt began at the third hour of the morning, which she later thought was entirely appropriate, because the third hour of the morning had been theirs since the beginning, since bathroom floors and warm baths and conversations they had not planned to have, and it was the correct hour for something this large to begin. She felt it the way she felt all large things now, through the bond first and then through her body, the bond alerting the body before the body had finished deciding to alert itself, and she lay in the dark for one breath and then she said, simply and clearly, "It is time."Kaelen was already up before the sentence was finished."I know," he said."You knew before I said it," she said, not a complaint, simply an observation, because even now, even in this, she was cataloguing the ways the bond worked between them."The bond," he said."The bond," she agreed, and then everything shifted, and the cataloguing stopped, because the body had fully committed now and it h

POV: KaelenDr. Caran came at the fourth hour of the afternoon and examined Anara and looked at Kaelen with the expression she had that communicated a great deal with very little effort and said, "Before the week is out. Possibly considerably before." Then she gave them a list of instructions he already knew by memory because he had read every piece of writing on the subject that existed in the pack library, and she left, and he and Anara stood in the room looking at each other in the particular way of two people who have been preparing for something and have just been told that the preparation is over."Well," said Anara."Well," he said."That is soon," she said."That is very soon," he agreed.She sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at her hands. He watched her face move through several things quickly, the competent face and then the honest face and then the face she only had in private, the one that was simply her, unmanaged. "I am not afraid," she said, and this time he be
The Blood Moon Prophecy Chapter 166
POV: AnaraIt was a Tuesday morning in the kitchen, which was where Liora did most of her important talking, because Liora was a woman who trusted motion, who trusted the occupation of hands, who found that the things she needed to say came more easily when there was something practical happening around the saying of them. She was telling Anara about the herbs that helped in the final weeks, the specific ones that eased the lower back and the ones that helped with the specific kind of sleeplessness that came from a body too large and too full to find a comfortable position, and she was thorough and precise about it the way she was thorough and precise about everything."The blue herb from the northern garden is the most useful," she was saying, her hands moving over the bundles she had laid out on the long kitchen table. "Not the dried. Fresh, steeped for ten minutes. Your midwife Caran knows it. She has been using it correctly. You can trust her with it." She paused. "I know these th

POV: KaelenDr. Caran had said it would be within the week. She had said it with the calm professional certainty of someone who had attended enough births to speak about their timing without either alarm or performance, and she had looked at Kaelen when she said it in the specific way she looked at people she suspected were going to make her life slightly more complicated than it needed to be, and he had nodded and told her thank you and then spent the next three days being incapable of leaving the pack house for more than two hours at a stretch.He was not anxious. He was clear on this in his own assessment. Anxiety was a specific quality that he recognised in himself and this was not it, not the restless worried quality of someone imagining disasters. This was simply a preference. He preferred to be where she was. He had developed this preference over months and it had intensified in the final weeks into something that overrode most other considerations, including the council meetin
The Blood Moon Prophecy Chapter 164
POV: Anara The balance session with Zephyr had been going well, which she had learned over months of working with him was the precise moment to brace for something unexpected, because Zephyr's idea of a session going well and her idea of a session going well were not always the same thing. He had the ancient quality of someone who had been having conversations with the universe for long enough to understand that good news and difficult news were often the same information delivered from different angles, and he offered both with the same unruffled serenity that she found alternately deeply calming and extremely aggravating. Lyra was in the room with them, seated in the chair by the south window in the contained and upright way she sat everywhere, present but apart, watching the session the way she watched most things, with the careful evaluating attention of someone cataloguing what they could not yet interpret. Zephyr had suggested Lyra attend several weeks ago and neither of them h
The Blood Moon Prophecy Chapter 163
POV: Anara She woke at midnight and the first thing she was aware of was that she was uncomfortable in the specific comprehensive way that had become her constant companion in the final weeks, the kind of discomfort that was not pain exactly but was the insistence of a body demanding constant negotiation. She shifted. She shifted again. She put a pillow here and removed it from there and told herself she was fine and turned over and found that she was not fine and was approximately equally uncomfortable in the new position, and she lay in the dark and stared at the ceiling and had a brief and deeply felt argument with the universe about the general injustice of the situation. "Tell me what you need," Kaelen said, from directly behind her, his voice entirely awake. "I was not going to wake you," she said. "I know," he said. "The bond woke me thirty seconds before you started shifting. You were not going to wake me and yet here we both are, awake. What do you need?" "I need," she sa

Anara"You are not ready," Seraphis said, approximately forty seconds before I walked through the door."I know," I said. "I'm going anyway."The great hall was full in a way I had not seen it since the Luna selection, but this fullness was different in quality. The selection had been curated and s

AnaraThe bond woke me before the moon was fully up.Not gently. A wave of something that hit me across the chest from the inside and sat me upright in bed before my eyes were properly open, my hand pressed flat to my sternum against the impact of it. Not my pain. His. Coming through the bond the w

KaelenHe pulled me aside before he got in the car.Not dramatically. He simply stopped at the bottom of the pack house steps and turned and looked at me with the specific expression of a man who had decided something needed to be said and had calculated that the open air of a departure was the cor

Anara"Tell me exactly what he said."Not a demand. Not raised or heated. Kaelen's voice when he was working very hard to remain level, which I had come to understand was considerably more serious than Kaelen's voice when he was simply angry. Anger was manageable. This careful control over somethin
