The Day I Stopped Being His Luna Chapter 8
Three years later, word of Kane Blackwood’s death reached me on a quiet afternoon in early spring.By then I was living farther south than Willowmere, in a riverside town where no one knew me as anyone’s former Luna. I embroidered for a dressmaker three streets over, kept herbs in chipped pots along the kitchen sill, and shared the cottage with a half-feral cat who had appointed himself mine.A traveling merchant stopped at my gate that afternoon to ask for water. I brought him a glass from the kitchen and listened only halfway as he talked about washed-out roads, bad weather in the mountain pass, and a battle in the north that had delayed freight for weeks.Then he said, almost casually, “The Northlands lost their Alpha in it.”Something in my hand loosened.“Kane Blackwood?” I asked before I could stop myself.The merchant nodded. “Stayed behind so his soldiers could retreat. Took more arrows than anyone thought a wolf could survive.”The glass slipped from my fingers and shattered a

He found me in Willowmere a week later when I was sitting on the back steps.I felt him before I saw him.The old instinct that survives even when love does not. Something in me tightened, and when I looked up, Kane was standing beyond the low fence with three years of damage written plainly across his face.He looked thinner. Harder in some places, wrecked in others. There was a scar along his jaw I did not recognize and exhaustion in his eyes that no amount of sleep would have fixed.Then he said, “I know what Selena did.”I set the needle down carefully. “So?”His face changed, almost as if he had expected the name alone to matter. “I know about the Pens. I know she paid them. I know she framed you at the festival. I know all of it now.”“That’s late, isn’t it?”He came to the gate but did not open it. “Elena—”“No.” I rose and set the embroidery hoop aside. “If you came here to tell me you finally understand what happened, save yourself the effort. Julian sent someone weeks ago. I

The truth found him before Elena did.Julian’s people had already been asking questions in the abandoned mining district when one of the handlers at the Omega Pens decided silence was no longer worth dying for. Kane drove out there himself.The place looked even worse in daylight: rusted fencing, cracked concrete, security lights buzzing weakly above old industrial ruins. He found three men in a side office that smelled of bleach, smoke, and wolfsilver.They did not confess cleanly. Kane had to drag the truth out of them in pieces, and every piece cut deeper than the last. Selena’s people had paid for Elena’s transfer. The wolfsilver collar had stayed on her throat all night. She had been told the Alpha’s protection no longer covered her, and the men in that place had heard exactly what they wanted to hear: she was no longer a Luna anyone needed to fear, only a collared Omega no one would come for.Kane killed the first man before the second finished speaking.He did not remember drawi

His mother did not let him hide inside that thought for long.Lady Miriam was in the prayer room when he arrived, moon-beads slipping through her fingers one by one. Kane laid the temple papers on the table between them.“Elena is gone,” he said. “The bond is dissolved.”“I know,” Lady Miriam replied.“I came to tell you because I intend to make things formal with Selena.”When she looked at him, there was nothing maternal in her expression. “Do you know where your wife went after she left the tower?”“No.”“Do you know what state she was in when she boarded that plane?”He did not answer.Lady Miriam let the silence sharpen. “Elena prayed for you every time you crossed the border. She ran your house, cared for your people, and spent three years making excuses for a man who never once earned her loyalty. In return, you humiliated her in public, let those sketches circulate, and drove her so far that she chose ritual torment over one more day as your wife.”Kane’s jaw tightened. “She ma

By the time I walked out of the Moon Temple, dawn had broken cold and white over Silverpine.I wrapped a scarf high around my neck, used the last of my cash to hire a car, and told the driver to take me to Silverpine Regional Airport.The terminal was almost empty. A woman at the check-in desk looked from my passport to the scarf at my throat and asked, with the careful politeness people use when they sense trouble but do not want to invite it closer, “Do you have a destination in mind, ma’am?”I lifted my eyes to the departure board and chose the first southern flight that felt far enough away to matter.“Willowmere.”By the time she slid the boarding pass toward me, my hand was shaking badly enough that I had to steady it against the counter before I could take it. I made it onto the plane on pain and pride alone. When it lifted through the cloud cover, Silverpine disappeared beneath me without asking anything more of me.Kane received the dissolution papers two hours later.He had j

Kane did not come back that night, or the day after, or the one after that. The keep did not need to tell me where he was. I said nothing. I packed quietly instead.On the fifth evening, my door opened and Selena walked in as though she belonged there. Kane followed a step behind her.“Tonight is the Moonfire Festival,” she said. “I thought you should come.”Before I answered, Kane said, “You’re coming.”I looked at him. “To do what? Stand beside you while the pack watches you dote on her?”His expression cooled. “Your place does not change, Elena. You remain Luna. The council still answers to you. The keep still answers to you. Nothing is being taken from you unless you insist on making this impossible.”That was Kane all over. He thought a title could compensate for humiliation. He thought rank was a substitute for being chosen.But the full moon was only days away, and I would not give Selena the satisfaction of thinking I had hidden myself in shame.So I went.We ended up alone on
