The Luna He Gave Away CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: The Letter He Didn't Write Alone
Lyra's POVI heard Kael's footsteps before I saw him. I knew them well enough by now to recognize them before he came around the corner. He didn't call out or announce himself. He just appeared in the stable entrance with an envelope in his hand and crossed to where I was standing by the second stall.The stables were at the far edge of the inner grounds, past the training yard and the storage buildings, far enough from the main keep that the sounds of the household didn't reach them. The horses didn't care who I was or what title I held. They just moved and breathed and made the kind of noise that filled a space without demanding anything.I’d been coming here for two weeks.He held it out.I took it.The handwriting on the front was the palace's official script, but the name was mine, and the return address was my father's estate.I opened it and started reading.The letter was two pages.It asked after my health. My comfort. Whether the transition to Blackthorne had been difficult.

The Luna He Gave Away CHAPTER TWENTY: The Question He Asked First
Kael's POVI just could not get it out of my head.That was what really bothered me. I’d spent four years learning how to deal with things, figuring out what they meant, and then putting them away so they did not bother me anymore. I’d done this with things that were a lot worse than what happened at the dinner table.I couldn't do it with this.I sat in my study with the fire low, and thought about the look I had given the merchant. I hadn't planned it. I hadn't weighed whether it was the right political move. My wolf had moved before I did, the same way it had moved at the dinner with Isolde and Ronan, the same way it had moved in the hallway with Gareth.There was no reason for it, no plan. I just did it.That was becoming a pattern I couldn't explain away.I pulled the intelligence file toward me because it was easier than sitting with the other thing.I had read this page before. Weeks ago. I had marked it and moved on because there had been more pressing matters at the time: Iso
The Luna He Gave Away CHAPTER NINETEEN: The Rumor Reaches Blackthorne
BlackthorneLyra's POVThe merchant arrived on a Tuesday.He came with a supply order for the keep's winter stores legitimate business, Gretel had arranged it weeks ago. He was the kind of man who talked through meals, the kind who filled silence because he didn't notice it was comfortable.He sat near the middle of the great hall table, two seats down from one of the junior council members, and he talked through dinner the way he probably talked through everything.I was at the far end of the table, going over a document Kael had passed to me that morning. I wasn't paying close attention to the merchant until I heard my name.He didn't say it like a weapon. That was the thing. He said it like a piece of news he had picked up in the city and hadn't thought twice about."There's talk about your Luna, actually," he said, to no one in particular. "In the capital. Word is she was placed here because there was nowhere else for her to go. The Alpha took her as a courtesy." He reached for his
The Luna He Gave Away CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: Gareth
Lyra's POVKael found me two days after I got back from the eastern quarters.I was in the small study off the west corridor going through the winter welfare requests when he walked in and set a folder on the desk in front of me."Gareth suggested you handle this," he said.I looked up. "Gareth.""He said you'd know what to do with it."He wasn't offering an opinion. He wasn't telling me what to think about the fact that the man who had called me a palace castoff in a corridor three weeks ago had just formally put my name forward for an assignment.He was waiting for me to pick up the folder.I picked it up."Eastern territory boundary dispute," he said. "Two families. Two seasons unresolved. It escalated last week; one blocked the other's access to the shared water source. I need it handled before winter."I opened it and started reading."How much authority do I have?" I asked."Enough to make a binding decision if it comes to that.""When do I leave?""Tomorrow morning. Gareth assi
The Luna He Gave Away What Grows in Silence
Lyra's POVThe morning after Gareth walked in with that satchel, Blackthorne moved forward the way it always did.I let it.There were things on my table by breakfast. A note from one of the outer families about a border predator that had taken two of their goats. A question from the eastern quarters about a disagreement over shared storage space going into winter. A request from a packmate I had never spoken to, asking if someone could check whether the winter store allocation was being distributed fairly.None of it had been formally directed to me.It had simply arrived.I worked through each one before midday. The border predator issue I passed to Gareth with a note about which patrol route ran closest to that family's land. The storage dispute I handled myself. I walked to the eastern quarters, listened to both sides, and found a middle arrangement that neither party loved enough to keep arguing about. The store allocation question I brought to Gretel, who already had the numbers
