The Luna He Gave Away CHAPTER SEVENTY: The Bond
Lyra’s POVKael’s forehead rested against mine. His eyes were open, locked on mine. I felt him through the completed bond—his wolf, his want, the fierce protectiveness that had always been there, now permanent. I felt my own answering it, no fear left. Only the deep, aching need to move.He started to move. Slow at first, long strokes that dragged against every sensitive place inside me. I wrapped my legs around his waist and met him. The wet sounds of our bodies filled the quiet room. His hand slid under my hips, tilting me so he could go deeper. Every thrust sent sparks up my spine. The tension did not ease; it coiled tighter, sharper, every withdrawal a promise, every return a claim.“Harder,” I breathed.He gave it to me. The pace increased. The bed creaked. His mouth found my neck again, teeth scraping, not quite biting. The mating instinct rode close—the urge to mark, to claim fully—but he held it, waiting for whatever permission the bond still required. I turned my head, offeri
The Luna He Gave Away Chapter 69: The Night Before Everything
Lyra’s POVThe capital inn was quiet in a way that made every creak of the old floorboards sound louder than it should. Outside, the city still moved—carriages, distant voices, the occasional shout from the street—but in this room the air felt held, like the night itself was waiting.We had one room. Not by plan. By the kind of unspoken agreement that had stopped needing words months ago. The threat outside made the space feel smaller and more honest at the same time. Two beds had been pushed close enough that the gap between them was only a suggestion. The single lamp on the table threw soft light across the worn floorboards and the heavy curtains drawn tight against the glass.Kael stood near the window for a long minute, listening, then turned and sat on the edge of the farther bed. His shoulders were still tight from the day, but his eyes found mine and stayed there. The look alone made heat pool low in my stomach. I had felt that heat for months—every time he stood too close in a
The Luna He Gave Away CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT: The Convening
Lyra's POVThe inn was three streets from the convening hall.Gareth's contact took us there at a pace that said he understood we weren't interested in the scenic route. The capital was loud even at dusk—people finishing their day, merchants closing up, torches being lit along the main road. I noticed none of it.I was counting streets.Kael was at the table when I pushed the door open.Documents around him. A healer's wrap on his left forearm. The controlled expression he wore when he was managing several things at once and had decided not to let any of them show on his face.He looked up when I came in.I crossed the room.I didn't say anything. I took his arm in both hands and turned it toward the lamp so I could see the wrap properly. The healer had done clean work—tight, even, the kind of bandaging that came from someone who knew what they were doing. Underneath it, from the slight raise of the cloth, a cut. Not deep. Long enough to leave a scar but not long enough to have taken
The Luna He Gave Away CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN: The Road to the Capital
Lyra's POVKael's message arrived at dawn.One line. I need you here. If you're willing. Come.Gareth brought it to my chambers. He found me already pulling clothes from the chest at the foot of my bed.He looked at the bag on the floor. Then at the message in his hand."You were already packing," he said."Tell the scholar we leave in an hour," I said.We rode out before the keep was fully awake.Gareth. Four wolves. The scholar, who had said the night before that she was coming and had not asked permission. Elara, who had slept for four hours and come down to the courtyard before I did.And me.Eight people on the northern road before the morning light had settled.I had the empty case in my bag. I don't know why I brought it. I just couldn't leave it behind.The bond pull started almost immediately.Not romantic exactly. More physical than that. More like direction. Like my body had grown a compass that only pointed one way and was now telling me, constantly, that I was moving towa
The Luna He Gave Away CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX: Elara Arrives
Lyra's POVThe gate captain's message reached me at the inner hall.A rider at the outer gate. Alone. Asking for the Luna by name.No title. No house identification. Just the Luna by name.I knew before I got there.Elara was still on her horse when I reached the outer gate.The road dust on her coat was thick enough to tell me she had been riding hard for at least two days. Her horse had the look of an animal running on the last of itself.She dismounted when she saw me.We stood two feet apart in the dark and looked at each other.The last time I had seen her was during Isolde's visit—that dinner where Elara had sat across the table answering Isolde's questions with the practiced ease of someone who had grown up managing powerful people. I had watched her face all through that meal and not been able to tell what was underneath the management. Whether it was grief or relief or something she had trained herself not to show.She wasn't older, exactly. Just less arranged. The careful pr
The Luna He Gave Away CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE: The Watcher's Death
Lyra's POVI found them at dawn.They were in the small corridor outside the welfare coordination room, seated against the wall with their back straight and their hands in their lap, as though they had stopped to rest and simply hadn't gotten back up.I called their name once.Nothing.I crouched down and put my hand on their shoulder and already knew, before I touched them, that it was too late.The healer came within five minutes of my call.She checked everything she was supposed to check. She asked me to step back while she worked, and I did. I stood in the corridor and watched her face and understood what she was going to say before she opened her mouth."Not illness," she said. "Whatever this was, it was fast. And it was designed to look like a heart that simply stopped."She looked at me when she said it."Designed," I repeated."Yes," she said.I looked at the watcher—at the person who had spent eight years protecting my maternal line without me knowing, who had fed Isolde fal
