Lyra's POV

We had two days.

We used them well.

That was the thing that stayed with me afterward—not arguments we didn't have, not decisions that could have gone either way. Just how well we worked together when we stopped dividing the problem into mine and his.

The security plan started as his outline and became something else by the end of the first day. He would identify a rotation point, and I would see the gap in it. I would suggest a communication channel, and he would see the risk I had m

  • 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

Just how well we worked together when we stopped dividing the problem into mine and his.The security plan started as his outline and became something else by the end of the first day. He would identify a rotation point, and I would see the gap in it. I would suggest a communication channel, and he would see the risk I had missed. Neither of us argued about whose version was right. We just built the better one.Gareth sat in on both sessions.He didn't comment on the change. He didn't need to. I saw it in the way he wrote things down quickly, without hesitation, like he trusted the plan was going to stay the plan.That was new.The second day ran long.By evening we had covered the patrol rotation, the communication channels, the welfare project handover, and the internal key investigation. We had also agreed, with

  • The Luna He Gave Away    CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE: What Isolde Decides

    Isolde's POVThe palace was quiet at midnight.That was when I worked best. Not because the silence helped me think I could think through anything, anywhere. But midnight was when the palace stopped performing. No visitors. No councillors. No one is managing what reached my desk.Just the truth of what was happening.Venn had left the reports in the order I had trained him: least urgent at the top, most urgent at the bottom. Six years. He had never once deviated.I started from the top.The first report was the Alpha convening confirmations.All twelve responding Alphas had accepted. Blackthorne's acceptance had come through his official channel, which meant Kael had read the summons and accepted it as legitimate.That was correct. The summons was legitimate. The authority behind it was genuine.I set it down and picked up the second.Venn appeared in the doorway at ten past midnight with the expression he wore when he had something to add."The northern contact's transfer came in an

  • The Luna He Gave Away    CHAPTER SIXT Y-TWO: The Goddess Speaks Plainly

    Lyra's POVI knew I was dreaming.The Oathfire ground looked right—the stones, the circle, the tree line. But the fires were out. Every single one of them. The ash was pale and cold. The sky above was too bright, and the moon was bigger than I had ever seen it.I was alone.Then I wasn't.A woman stood in the center of the circle. Not elderly, but old in the way that had nothing to do with weakness. Like she had been watching things for a very long time and hadn't stopped yet. She had silver hair and stood completely still.She looked at me.Her face changed.Slowly. One feature at a time. Until I was looking at my mother.I couldn't speak."You know what you're afraid of," she said."Yes," I managed."You know it." She walked toward me. The cold ash didn't move under her feet. "You just haven't chosen it yet."I didn't have an answer for that.She stopped in front of me."Fear is the last wall," she said.Then the whole field burned.Not slowly. All at once—the grass, the stones, the
