Anara

The sunlight dimmed through the curtain straight down to my face. Slowly I opened my eyes, my hands searching for Kaelen,he had no way to be found. Searched again, while slowly opening my eyes, he was no way in the room to be found.

“Where could he have been this early morning!” I questioned myself, sat up in the bed sluggishly.

Last night was really stressful and now there is no way to be found. Could it be that he went out to train? No! It's too early for that.

“Kaelen! Kaelen?? Where a

  • 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

  • The Blood Moon Prophecy    Chapter 165

    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

  • The Blood Moon Prophecy    Chapter 162

    POV: Kaelen Nyx came forward when Kaelen was alone in the northwest corridor at the seventh hour of the morning, when the pack house was still quiet enough that the only sound was the faint wind against the high windows and the distant sound of the kitchen beginning its day. He came forward in the way he sometimes did, not the aggressive pressing at the edges of control that he had used in the dark years of the curse, but the deliberate and considered arrival of a wolf who had decided the moment was right and intended to use it. Kaelen stopped walking. He stood in the corridor and waited. "I was wrong," Nyx said. Kaelen stood very still. He had heard his wolf say many things over the course of fifteen years. He had heard Nyx be fierce and be furious and be cold in the specific terrifying way that the wolf was cold when something threatened what was theirs. He had never heard him say those three words. "Tell me," he said. "When we were searching for the mate," Nyx said, with the

  • The Blood Moon Prophecy    Chapter 161

    POV: AnaraShe had rewritten the letter eleven times and she was not a woman who rewrote things eleven times.She was a woman who made decisions and committed to them and moved through the world with the full weight of herself behind every choice she made, and the fact that this single letter to a man who had spent years maintaining the distance between them had brought her to eleven drafts was something she intended to be furious about for a significant amount of time.She sat at the desk in the small writing room with the eleventh draft in her hands and read it through for the fourth time and still did not know if it was right, and that uncertainty was its own specific kind of humiliation.She brought it to Kaelen in the late evening. He was at the long table in the study going through correspondence and she dropped the letter in front of him without saying anything because she had not yet decided how to frame the asking, and he looked up at her and looked down at the letter and pic

  • The Blood Moon Prophecy    Chapter 158

    POV: LyraShe did not intend the kitchen to become a pattern. She had not decided, at any specific identifiable moment, that the twenty-first hour was hers in that room in any way that should be expected or predicted. She came down because she could not sleep, which was not new. She came for tea, w

  • The Blood Moon Prophecy    Chapter 157

    POV: AnaraAt three in the morning, with the baby moving restlessly and her body refusing every position she offered it, Anara made the decision that she was going to handle this alone and she was going to handle it quietly and she was not going to wake Kaelen. She shifted left. She shifted right.

    POV: KaelenThe pack gathering began at the seventh hour. At the sixth hour Anara was still getting ready, which was not unusual.What was unusual was the quality of the silence that had settled in the dressing room, the specific absence of the small sounds she usually made while getting ready, the

    POV: KaelenEran waited until they were deep enough into the northwest forest that the pack house had completely disappeared behind them, until there was nothing in any direction except old trees and the particular silence of a forest in the late afternoon, the kind of silence that had w
