"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    Better Than Good

    Deimon's midnight meeting ran long, stretching into the early hours of the next day.He laid out his intentions to them plainly enough, though he kept the shadier parts folded away where no one could reach them.Sophia, for her part, briefed him in full on the White Witch — her origin, her nature, everything she'd gathered from history lessons that had always felt more myth than warning.In the end, they agreed to stand with him. They swore it, even knowing full well he might be walking them straight into the wrong thing. By the time the meeting broke and everyone crept into their beds, Deimon felt lighter than he had in months, as though a weight he'd carried without noticing had finally been set down.He wasted no time. Before daybreak approached, calls went out to clan Alphas, warm and calculated in equal measure. Gifts followed for his fellow Crescent godheads, chosen to flatter and to bind. Every thread of the Crescent, every clan under its banner, was being pulled quietly into

    "White what?"Deimon wore his most ignorant stare yet, brows close together, mouth half open.Romulus only smiled and shook his head slowly. It wasn't a surprise at all — the White Witch wasn't a name for public knowledge. It was a hushed word whispered in shadows, reaching only a few ears, even those of Alphas. Deimon's ignorance was nothing to be ashamed of."Aleister Morrigan," Romulus said, letting the name settle in the air. "The one who sits in the dark groves, at the crossroads of the leylines. A being of legend, Master Ashworth.""Aleister Morrigan." Deimon turned the name over, word by word, like he was weighing coins in his palm. "Sounds powerful. Ominous, even. Why is this the first I'm hearing of it?""Perhaps only a handful of souls know of the White Witch. Even seasoned wolves and godheads haven't heard the name. It's no surprise it never reached you." Romulus pushed off the railing, rolled his shoulders, yawned, groaned low in his throat. "It's been a long evening, and

    Never in this world was he spilling his humiliation before Deimon. He'd rather face the guillotine, rather kneel and offer his own neck to the blade, than admit that Sophia had played mind games with him while she whipped him with a cursed lash named Godzilla, all while he lay chained to her bed like some errant pup begging for mercy.The shame was crawling up from wherever he'd tried to bury it, clawing its way back to the surface, and the anger came climbing right behind it, twin serpents coiling around the same bone."Had a bad one?" Deimon asked again, twisting his head toward Romulus with that distinguished look of his, one brow arched, holding back a smile like he'd already caught the shape of what was churning inside the boy's mind and was simply waiting for him to confirm it aloud.Romulus didn't even notice the frustrated sigh escape him before he spoke, the sound low and bitten off at the edges."What can I say? Call it the 'what I expected versus what I got' scenario."Dei

    "Anna...""JB, please." Anna looked Jebediah straight in the eyes now, hers shimmering with unshed tears, threatening to spill with the smallest provocation. Jebediah couldn't help but soften, the fight draining out of him just from that look alone. "It's written not just in your eyes, but in the way you talk. You're terrible at pretending, babe."Jebediah giggled despite himself, though it came out shakier than he meant it to. "What? What was that just now?" He booped her nose playfully, buying himself a second to gather his nerve. "Now you see right through me? Damn.""JB.""Alright, you win." Jebediah sighed, the sound heavy and dragged. "I don't know how you're going to take the news. It bites too hard just saying it out loud." He cradled her closer, arms tightening around her like he could shield her from words with nothing but the strength of his hold. "I don't want it to hurt you.""JB." Her voice dropped quiet now, almost a whisper, but there was steel threaded underneath the

    ----Jebediah kept his expression neutral at the table, though it cost him more than he let show on his face.Before he could even settle in and meet everyone properly at the dinner table, the room was already a storm of noise. The usual laughter and usual chaos, nobody caring in the slightest that there was a guest in their midst.Loretta couldn't stop herself from laughing every few minutes, already making friends with Mama Eunice, the two of them matching each other's energy like they'd known one another for decades instead of hours. Introductions went round the table twice, cheers rising loud enough for a hall three times the size, entirely too much fuss for just one woman — though Loretta seemed to be soaking up every second of it.Anna wouldn't stop over-explaining, and the crowd gave their usual exaggerated reactions to every word, gasping and hollering like she was recounting legend instead of memory. Loretta took her time explaining her clan, her family's roots, Anna's childh

    Jebediah looked into his mother's eyes and realized she wasn't joking — not even a little.He'd seen her serious before, the way her blue eyes dimmed the moment all humor drained from her face. But this was different. Maureen was dead serious."Like, right now, mother?" Jebediah said, surprise coloring his own voice."Yes, son. And it can't wait." Maureen's tone left no room for negotiation.Jebediah glanced behind him, making sure no one was within earshot. The muffled voices of Anna and Loretta drifted faintly through the air until they vanished into the building. He turned back to his mother."But mother, this isn't a good time. Anna's mom just arrived. Shouldn't we be giving her a proper welcome, at least?""Alright, I'll make it brief, then." She grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him toward the corner of the security booth, just as a staff member walked briskly past them, headed for the garage."Mother, you're making me nervous, keeping me in suspense like this. What urgency co
