"Easy there, Segan," Anna whispered.

She patted the great black stallion’s neck. The horse shifted, his heavy hooves echoing against the flagstone floor. Anna had woken before the world, moving through the soft predawn light with a sense of peace that had been foreign to her for months.

She felt light, the crushing weight of the secrets she had hidden—her true fate, her past, the erratic nature of her journey—had finally been shared with Jebediah. She had braced herself for judgment, for the c

  • The Crescent Heir    The Annoying One

    At the confines of Silverwood, deep in the ancient mountains, Deimon sat motionless in the Lazarus healing bath — an ancient Crescent jacuzzi fed by a mysterious underground source that healed and restored the body in ways no living healer could fully explain. Steam curled from its surface. Deimon's own breaths came heavy, whimpering in silence, like a man enduring a pain too deep and too shameful to voice. The ailment had taken a heavy toll on him. The most potent healers in his clan, even Madam Edith, couldn't diagnose what was truly wrong. Strange heartaches, periodic blackouts, schizophrenic episodes that came and went like a tide with no moon to answer to — Deimon was losing it, and the worst part was that he knew it.He hadn't called for the warm comfort of any maidens. His wolf had lost its appetite entirely, that ancient lustful hunger replaced by something older and darker he couldn't name or cage. It sat inside him like a splinter buried too deep to reach. It was just him al

  • The Crescent Heir    The Unexpected Announcement

    The afternoon banquet was loud in the best way possible.Abijah made a terrible joke somewhere between the roasted lamb and the third round of drinks, and the entire table turned against him like a wolf pack cornering prey. Even Delilah folded her arms and refused to look at him. He sat there grinning like he had said the funniest thing in the world, which only made it worse.Anna watched it all from her seat, a small smile playing at the corner of her lips. The laughter rolled on, glasses clinked, platters were passed from hand to hand, and the warm smell of seasoned meat and spiced wine filled the hall.But her mind wasn't entirely here. Her thoughts kept circling back to Janette's question.Seraphina.Earlier that morning, Seraphina had apologized for bailing on them with the urgency of someone already halfway out the door."I'm so sorry, Anna dear, I truly cannot wait," she had said, gathering her shawl with quick, careful hands, eyes already elsewhere. She was gone before Anna co

  • The Crescent Heir    Welcome Back To The Living

    "Whoaaaa!"Anna's eyes widened in disbelief, shimmering like two full moons. She couldn't help the smile that appeared on her face. She couldn't believe her eyes."Welcome back to the living!!"The entire table roared in unison. The sound hit Anna like a warm wave, crashing into her chest and settling there like sunlight. Janette had told her it was a banquet, but Anna had pictured something small, something intimate. Three people around a table, maybe four, something casual. But the Ozeths, she was quickly learning, interpreted casual the way most people interpreted grand, and grand the way most people couldn't even imagine.Seated along the long family dining table were the Ozeths. All of them, literally. Anna's gaze swept from one face to the next, observing carefully. Mama Eunice sat at her end of the table in a beautiful brown vintage gown that screamed luxury from ten feet away. Maureen's smile was brighter than the morning sun. The Ozeth twins were already mid-conversation, tal

  • The Crescent Heir    Seraphina's Revelations

    The air in the room now felt heavy, vibrating with tension. Anna gasped sharply, both hands flying to her mouth as if to catch the words before they could settle into her bones, as the cold realization washed over her like ice water."You don't mean to say..."Seraphina did not blink. Her gaze was fixed on a point just past Anna’s shoulder, seeing things that had not yet come to pass. When she finally spoke, her voice was resonating, deep and haunting, like the tolling of a funeral bell in a distant valley."Deimon would kill the child you’ll bear," Seraphina uttered. "He will look upon your miracle and see only a curse. He believes it is the offspring of another wolf—a rogue who dared to sow a seed in his garden, a thief who insulted his royal blood. He will not hesitate, Anna, he will rip apart the child, and the mother... the mother will not be spared the edge of his rage either. Your fate would be far worse than the child’s, Anna. You would live to remember the sound of the end."

  • The Crescent Heir    The Diviner's Visit

    Anna peered from the top of the stairs. Her feet froze, her heart hammering so loud she could feel it in her own ears.Who is this guest? she wondered. Someone was down there, someone stubborn, hellbent on seeing her and would not take "no" for an answer. Her mind drifted back — back to Silverwood, back to the cold stone walls of the Ashworth estate. Her pulse quickened.Janette glided smoothly down the stairs ahead of her, then paused and looked back with a raised brow."You coming or what, pumpkin? The day doesn't wait — come on!" She waved her hand impatiently.Anna took a long breath. She pulled her shoulders back and straightened her spine. She marched down the stairs, telling herself that it did not matter who was waiting.What will be, will be. She reached the family sitting room and let her eyes fall upon the sofa. A figure sat there, looking peaceful, almost too calm. The stranger was sipping from a cup of steaming cocoa. The vapors rose in thick, aromatic clouds, smelling o

  • The Crescent Heir    Welcome Back To The Living

    "Ahhhhh."The groan tore itself out of Anna before she was fully awake. She pushed herself upright, pressed one hand to her head, and sat there blinking at nothing in particular while the world reassembled itself around her. A dull, rhythmic thumping pulsed behind her eyes."Feels like a blacksmith mistook my head for an anvil," she muttered."That must be a very wise blacksmith, I'd say." a calm voice drifted from the corner.Anna's eyes snapped open. The sudden light made her wince, but the figure sitting at the foot of her bed stopped her heart for a different reason."Janette?" Anna whispered, her memory a blurred mess of hospital white and screaming monitors. The room was not the hospital ward, that much she knew. This wasn't her room or Isabeau’s either. She was in an apartment that felt like a hidden sanctuary. The space around her was something else entirely, something older. The walls were stone and dark timber, draped in fabric the color of deep water, and the furniture was

  • The Crescent Heir    Across A Shared Supper

    ---Both Jebediah and Emmett stayed the night with the Storm-Fangs. Emmett observed their culture — dwindling in number, maybe, but rich in everything else. Their battle style, their customs, their silences that carried meaning. But the most astonishing thing was their meal. One filled belly from t

    "Whoa."The word left Anna's mouth before she could dress it up into anything more articulate.She stood at the entrance of the estate's garage — or rather, what she had assumed would be a garage but which revealed itself, with each passing second, to be something else entirely. Something that defi

    The bell's resonant peal rolled through Mooncrest Estate like a living thing—ancient bronze struck by ancient ritual, the sound carried on wolf-sense as much as air. It vibrated in Anna's bones, a call that bypassed human hearing and spoke directly to the beast within.Dinner.Anna was on her feet
