(JASON'S POV)

Selena was still in my quarters when I returned that evening, exactly where I had left her that morning, as though she had spent the entire day rehearsing whatever she intended to say to me. The room had gone dim around her, the last daylight fading fast, and she had not bothered to light a single lamp, sitting instead in the deepening shadow like she preferred not to be seen too clearly while she said whatever this was going to be.

"You look like you have been crying," I said.

  • The Luna He Chose Was My Cousin    Chapter 87: After the Storm

    Gideon stayed up half the night chasing the erased trail through whatever backup records still existed, and I made myself go to bed only because Kael physically refused to let me stand in that study a moment longer."You cannot fight a ghost tonight," he said, guiding me toward the door with a hand at my back. "Rest. Whoever is covering for them will still be there tomorrow."He was right, though it did not make the unease sit any easier in my chest.By the time I woke the next morning, the estate felt different in a way I could not immediately name. Quieter, certainly, most of the visiting Alphas already gone back to their own territories, but it was more than that. For the first time since the bells had rung early that night weeks ago, nothing in the house felt like it was waiting for the next blow to land.I found Violet on the back steps as the sun began sliding down toward the tree line, her knees pulled up to her chest the same way Lyra sat when she was thinking too hard about s

  • The Luna He Chose Was My Cousin    Chapter 86: The Child Who Changed the Law

    By midmorning, the great hall could not hold another body.Alphas stood shoulder to shoulder along every wall once the seats ran out, Betas crowded into the balconies above, and somewhere beyond the doors I could hear the low murmur of reporters who had traveled from territories I had never even visited, all of them waiting to watch whether I walked out of this hall still a mother.I sat between Kael and Gideon at the front table, Lyra's small hand tucked into mine beneath it where no one could see how tightly I was holding on.The Warden opened for the Rite Council, and he did not waste time softening it."The Anchor Protocol exists because history has proven, again and again, that a gift of this magnitude cannot be safely raised within the walls of a single household," he said. "This is not cruelty. It is precedent. It is protection for the child and for every wolf her power could someday endanger.""Protection," Draven repeated from beside me, loud enough to carry. "You mean contro

  • The Luna He Chose Was My Cousin    Chapter 85: The Night Before History

    I expected the estate to feel like a battlefield the night before the hearing. Instead, it felt unbearably quiet.Gideon and I spread the last of the evidence across the study table for what had to be the tenth time that week, though neither of us said out loud that we were no longer looking for anything new. We were simply touching the same papers again because it gave our hands something to do besides shake."Witness statements first," Gideon said, sliding a stack toward me. "Then the Council precedents. Save Elara's letter for last. Let them remember what they are actually protecting before you ask them to protect it again.""You have done this before," I said quietly. "Organized a case like someone's whole life depends on the order of the pages.""Once." He did not look up. "I lost that one."I did not ask which case. Some things Gideon carried alone, and after eight years, I had learned which doors of his not to knock on uninvited.Down the hall, I passed the small sitting room w

  • The Luna He Chose Was My Cousin    Chapter 84: When the Deadline Expires

    By the time the sun rose, I had not slept, and neither had Kael.We stood together at the edge of the great hall as it filled with Alphas from territories I had only ever read about in Gideon's files, banners I did not recognize hanging beside ones I did, the noise of hundreds of voices pressing against the walls until the whole building seemed to hum with it."Three days," Kael murmured against my ear, watching the doors. "The deadline expires at midnight tonight.""I know.""They are not waiting until midnight."He was right. The Rite Council delegation entered exactly as the last territory took its seat, moving through the crowd with the particular calm of people who believed the outcome had already been decided in their favor. The Warden walked at the front, his expression unreadable, a folded decree tucked beneath his arm like a blade he had not yet drawn.He did not wait for the session to formally open before he spoke."Given the imminent expiration of the deadline set under th

  • The Luna He Chose Was My Cousin    Chapter 83: The Traitor Among Them

    The hall did not settle for nearly an hour.Draven wanted to march on the southern border himself. Renata argued for sending word to every remaining neutral Alpha before sunrise. Bastian simply stood at the window with his arms crossed, watching the dark tree line like he expected the Warden to walk out of it that very night. Through all of it, Kael kept one hand pressed against the small of my back, steady, grounding, while I tried to make three days sound like enough time inside my own head and failed every single time.It was well past midnight before the hall finally emptied and I found myself alone in the study, staring at the same window Caius had once slipped through weeks earlier.He came the same way this time, quiet, hooded, careful, though there was nothing careful about the look on his face when he pulled the hood back."You should not be here," I said. "Not after what they just did.""I am here because of what they just did." He crossed to the desk, glancing once toward t

  • The Luna He Chose Was My Cousin    Chapter 82: The Bloodline Alliance

    The first letter was from Alpha Draven Ashcombe, and his handwriting was so hurried it barely looked like his own.I received your message before the ink on my own summons had fully dried. My convoy leaves within the hour. Whatever they are planning against your daughter, they are planning against every gifted child left standing after her.I read it twice, then reached for the next, and the next, my hands moving faster than my mind could properly keep pace with. Five different seals. Five different territories. Every single one said some version of the same thing.We already knew this was coming.We are already on our way."They are not asking us for permission either," Kael said quietly, reading over my shoulder. "They are telling us they are coming, the same way the Council told us what they intend to do."I looked up at him, something loosening slightly in my chest for the first time since the bells had rung. "Then let them come."By the second evening, the front gates of Ashford
