The council dinner continued, but the air had turned to ice.

No one openly accused Mira. They did not need to.

Elders glanced toward the servants’ line with calculated indifference. Allied wolves whispered behind raised cups, their eyes never quite meeting hers.

Cassia remained beside Darius, smiling as if nothing had shifted.

But Mira stood perfectly still, feeling attention crawl over her skin like insects. She understood the silent verdict forming in the room.

Darius had delayed Cassia’

  • The False Luna Has My Wolf   Chapter 91 — Mira Dreams Through Cassia’s Pain

    Darius ordered the investigation paused until dawn, but the bond did not obey commands.Mira lay on the guest room bed, her marked wrist wrapped in clean cloth. Her body was exhausted, yet Sera moved beneath her skin like a wounded animal unable to settle. Galen had wanted to keep questioning Cassia, but Marek warned that pushing an unstable host might make the anchor defend itself. Tovan doubled the guards near the sealed stair while Nia sat vigil beside the bed.Everyone called it rest.But every time Mira closed her eyes, she smelled Cassia’s perfume. Not from the room, but from inside a memory that was not hers.I told her to come home with the memory, Mira thought, her chest tightening. I did not understand how much memory there was.When sleep finally took her, she did not dream as herself.She woke inside Cassia’s pain.In the dream, Mira stood inside Cassia’s body.Cassia was younger, perhaps thirteen, her wrists thin and hair brushed until it shone. Maera stood before her in

  • The False Luna Has My Wolf   Chapter 90 — Cassia Begs for the Bracelet

    The bracelet went quiet.For several breaths after Mira’s words, the metal ceased its burning. The black lines crawling beneath Cassia’s skin stopped their restless migration. The cracked silver lost its angry red glow.Sera remained near the surface, un-punished.The cage hesitated.Cassia should have been relieved. Instead, panic seized her throat. Her free hand clamped over the bracelet as if someone were trying to steal it from her wrist. Her breath turned shallow and ragged.The silver in her eyes flickered violently before Cassia forced herself back over Sera with a strangled sound.Mira felt Sera retreat in pain, confused by the sudden rejection.“No,” Cassia whispered, her voice trembling. “No, don’t stop.”Mira stared at her, stunned. “You want it to hurt her?”Cassia’s face twisted into something raw and desperate. “I want it to hold.”The healers in the room went silent.Cassia was not only afraid of losing power. She was terrified of what would happen when the cage finally

  • The False Luna Has My Wolf   Chapter 89 — The Wolf Remembers Another Skin

    Darius ordered the lower corridor cleared the moment the last name faded into stone.Tovan shoved the council guards back without ceremony, his body a wall between the sealed door and the rest of the pack. Galen stood with a notebook, hand trembling as he recorded every whispered name before silence reclaimed the stairwell. Nia stayed pressed to Mira’s side, her own face pale and shaken.The pack was no longer shouting.That silence was worse than any accusation. Everyone had heard enough to understand that the chamber below was not empty, not symbolic, and not safe.Mira stood with one hand pressed over her wrist mark.The skin was cool now, but her body felt wrong. Echoes of forbidden names still rang in her ears, and beneath them, Sera trembled in the bond like a wounded animal hiding under broken wood.Mira wanted to ask about Liora. She wanted to scream her mother’s name back into the dark.But Sera’s terror pulled harder.My mother can wait one more breath, Mira thought, swallow

  • The False Luna Has My Wolf   Chapter 88 — Mira Hears the Wolves Below

    Mira was ordered away from Cassia’s guarded room the moment the bracelet turned toward her.Darius walked beside her, his presence a solid wall against the corridor’s chill. Behind them, Tovan stationed two guards, while Marek kept repeating his warning under his breath.But distance did not break the connection.The farther Mira moved from Cassia, the colder her wrist became. The half-eye, half-claw mark stayed open beneath her skin, and every few steps, she felt a thin, insistent pull backward.It was not reaching for Cassia.It was reaching for what Cassia carried.Mira felt hunted by the very thing that should have been her rescue. She wanted Sera home so badly that the wanting itself now felt unsafe. If the bracelet could weaponize that longing, then even love could become a doorway.If I reach too hard, I become the cage, she thought, her fingers curling into her palm. If I do not reach, Sera stays in one.As she reached the lower corridor, the stone beneath her feet answered wi

  • The False Luna Has My Wolf   Chapter 87 — The Bracelet Burns Inward

    The healers pressed silverleaf water and moon-salt cloth against Cassia’s wrist, but the metal refused to cool.It did not burn outward like heated iron. Instead, it sank inward, etching black lines beneath Cassia’s skin that crawled toward her pulse before retreating whenever Sera rose too close to the surface.Galen ordered everyone to stop touching it.Mira watched from the doorway, her own wrist aching in sympathetic rhythm. The sight made her sick. Cassia was guilty, yet the bracelet was not merely punishing her; it was using her body as a wall. Every burn that entered Cassia’s flesh felt like a warning written specifically for Sera.Darius noticed Mira’s hand shaking but waited silently for her to ask before moving closer.One healer whispered, “It is not guarding her.”Galen answered grimly, “No. It is guarding what is inside her.”The bracelet pulsed once at his words. Below the floorboards, the sealed door gave a soft, answering thud.Tovan ordered the room cleared of all but

  • The False Luna Has My Wolf   Chapter 86 — Marek Names the Return Rite

    Galen moved the investigation out of the council hall and into a guarded archive room near the healing wing.On the heavy oak table, he laid out the burned record, copied trial notes, fragments from the old Moon Rite laws, and a sketch of Cassia’s bracelet.Outside, Tovan posted warriors at every entrance. No council elder was permitted entry without Darius’s direct permission.Cassia remained under guard in the healing wing. Maera remained confined. But both were too close to the ritual for comfort.Mira stood at the table, but her attention kept dragging toward the floor.Below them, the sealed door waited.Her wrist mark pulsed softly, as if it knew the records were incomplete. Sera stirred inside the bond, faint and anxious, sensing the proximity of stolen history.“The old law has rules for severing and anchoring,” Galen said, his voice tight with frustration. “But almost nothing about return.”Marek answered from the shadowed corner.“Because returns were not meant to happen.”T
