"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    Plan B

    The next few days, Deimon went around the Crescent, rounding up allied clans one by one, quietly mobilizing them into an army of his own making. He ignored every warning his advisers gave him, brushing off caution the way he brushed off weakness, and he wouldn't hesitate to mark anyone who stood against him as an enemy. Power had a way of narrowing a man's vision, and Deimon's had narrowed to a single, gleaming point. He had accepted Chief Adolphus's offer to sit among the Crescent godheads, certain it would grant him real power, or at the very least, a foothold against the Ozeths.-----"The Abbas are ready to march with you, Master Ashworth," Jabari said, voice low and even.The two of them lay relaxed in a steaming bath at a resort, bodies sinking into the heat as a group of women worked over them, oiling their skin and kneading muscle with slow, practiced hands. Steam curled slowly off the water, carrying the scent of jasmine oil and something muskier beneath it, the kind of indu

  • The Crescent Heir    Greystone's Warning

    -------The penthouse held its silence like a held breath. Glass walls framed the city below, all lights and distance, while the air inside still carried the weight of what had happened hours earlier at the Blood-Moon Scion."I'm telling you, that child is a blight." Greystone said, settling into the seat across from Deimon, his voice low and deliberate, like he was choosing each word as though it might detonate.The Scion had ended only hours ago, and Romulus had given the council enough to chew on for the rest of the year. But Greystone wasn't satisfied. If anything, he treated the whole affair like a fable not yet finished being told."With the way this is going, and the pronouncements that follow him everywhere he steps, we'll turn against each other before the year is out, Master Ashworth.""Yet his words carry truth." Deimon swirled the wine in his glass before taking a slow sip, eyes fixed somewhere past Greystone, past the glass, past the city. "Undeniable truth.""Some truths

  • The Crescent Heir    The Ozeths Are Monsters

    -------The Blood-moon sanctuary had a particular atmosphere on days like this — the kind that pressed down on the shoulders before anyone said a word.Deimon had called the meeting that morning with one intention: get things in motion, and get them moving fast. What he's been told isn't what one ignores and let it seat in the mind for too long, lest you forget it.He sat at the head of the table and watched the faces around him — pale, tight-jawed, eyes carrying the specific weight of men and women who understood, without being told, that something irreversible was unfolding. He made a quiet sound inside his chest. He wasn't going to blame them. They had every right to wear that expression. He wore it himself beneath the surface, though he'd sooner bite his own tongue than let it show.What unsettled the room most wasn't the meeting itself.It was the man seated in the Diviner's chair.Romulus.The Desert Wolf sat among them like a stone sculpture standing amongst revered pedestals.

  • The Crescent Heir    The Predawn Summon

    ------The summons came before the world had the decency to wake up.Deimon sat in his lounge chair on the open terrace, wrapped in the cold predawn air like a man who hadn't decided yet whether he was still last night or already today. The hangover hadn't fully released him — it sat behind his eyes like a dull, persistent tenant refusing eviction. His irises caught the last of the fading moonlight and held it, pale and reflective, while his gaze drifted somewhere his mind couldn't follow.There was a lot to process. Too much for four in the morning, too much for a man already at capacity.Chief Adolphus had extended an invitation — a seat among the godheads of the Crescent, a title Deimon would have hunted through fire and bloodshed to claim under different circumstances. Under the right circumstances. But circumstances, lately, had stopped being right. Managing Silverwood already pressed its full weight against his chest every waking hour. The Crescent wouldn't just add to that weig

  • The Crescent Heir    Brace Yourself

    ------Anna couldn't stop turning on the bed. Sleep refused to take her, no matter how many times she shifted, no matter how many positions she tried. Her thoughts churned in a haze, her mind racing through everything at once and making sense of nothing.Maureen's words had stung — sharp, deliberate, the kind of thing meant to leave a mark. But Emmett's? Emmett's had cut far deeper, quiet and clean, the kind of wound you don't feel until much later, when it's already bled you dry. Her stomach twisted every time the thought resurfaced. Fear and dread crawled up her skin like something with too many legs, settling cold around her heart."Nature made JB a monster." She muttered the words to the ceiling, eyes fixed on nothing. "It wasn't his fault at all. None of it." She rolled onto her side, one hand drifting to rest against her belly, as if to shield the life growing there from the thought itself.She didn't see it coming. Didn't feel it arrive. That was the unsettling part — how compl

  • The Crescent Heir    He Never Was, Anna.

    --------"You won't like Jebediah at his full form. He's the force of nature given form."Maureen's words sat heavy on Anna's chest, refusing to settle, refusing to fade.Dusk had already claimed the earth outside, deep blues bleeding into black, and Anna sat curled in her apartment, alone, a pillow hugged tight against her chest like it could shield her from her own thoughts. The lights were off. The only glow in the room came from the aquarium in the corner, a faint golden shimmer that rippled lazily across the walls and ceiling.The more she turned Maureen's words over, the more her heart sank.Sweet Jebediah. Gentle Jebediah. The man who'd never so much as raised his voice at her, who treated her like something precious and breakable even when she insisted she wasn't. The idea of him capable of anger—real anger, blood rage—felt like trying to picture a calm lake suddenly swallowing a ship whole.But she'd felt that aura. That crushing, suffocating weight that rolled off him like s

  • The Crescent Heir    The Mad Supper

    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

    The tunnel terminated in darkness and desperation.Anna stared upward at the exit latch, her chest heaving with exertion. Ten feet above her head, maybe more. The vertical shaft mocked her exhaustion, but the faint scent of open air beyond gave her hope—her first real hope in days. Soon they'll dis

    ---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
