The sound came before I understood what had caused it, a sharp crash from the nursery wing that sent every nearby attendant scrambling toward the noise, my own heart lurching before my mind had caught up to follow.

A shelf had given way, an old wooden bracket finally surrendering after who knew how many years, sending a row of carved toys and a heavy ceramic bowl crashing to the floor in a mess of broken pieces. Kyle flinched hard enough that his tutor caught his shoulder instinctively. One of

  • The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing   The Keeper’s Confession

    Cassian arrived exactly when he said he would, alone, dressed plainly enough that I understood he’d deliberately stripped away every signal of House Valerius’s standing before walking into this room. I had Lucien and Kael with me, Rowan positioned close enough to the door that I knew he hadn’t fully let go of his instinct to treat this as a risk until proven otherwise.Cassian didn’t seem surprised to find them there. If anything, something in his posture eased slightly at the sight of Lucien, as though a part of him had hoped he wouldn’t have to carry whatever he’d come to say entirely alone either.“Thank you for seeing me,” he said.“Thank you for coming,” I said. “I meant what I wrote. I wanted you to choose this.”“I understand,” he said. “And I’ve wanted to choose it for longer than you know. I simply didn’t believe, until recently, that the timing would ever be right.”“The timing is rarely right for anything that matters,” I said. “Tell me anyway.”He was quiet for a moment, g

  • The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing   The Faction That Never Left

    Rowan spent the rest of that morning reconstructing Serah Voss’s final days before she vanished, and I stayed close through most of it, unwilling to be shielded from anything that touched my children even indirectly.He laid out her access records across the table where the crown had sat the night before, each authorization she’d used in her last week traced back through the departments that had approved them. I recognized the pattern immediately, because I’d watched Rowan build this same kind of chain months earlier, back when the palace had first discovered someone could alter a legitimate order without ever forging one.“It’s the same network,” I said.“It’s more than that,” Rowan said. “Back then, we were looking at someone redirecting guards, moving schedules, creating small openings. This is different. Every authorization she used in her last week wasn’t about access to me, or to the children, or to anything in the palace at all. She was retrieving documents.”“What documents?”

  • The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing   What The Crown Remembers

    The lights steadied, and none of us moved for a long while after, as though moving first might invite whatever had just touched the room to notice us again.I kept my children close through the rest of that night, true to what I’d promised, and when the High Priestess returned the next morning, I could see immediately that she hadn’t slept either. Something had changed in her overnight, some last resistance finally worn through.“I spent the night deciding how to say this,” she told me, without waiting for me to ask. “I’ve decided there isn’t a gentle way, so I won’t attempt one.”“Then don’t,” I said.We gathered in the same quiet room as before — Lucien, Kael, Rowan, myself, the children close enough that I could reach either of them without rising. The High Priestess set the ancient crown on the table between us, and for the first time since I’d first seen it, I understood why it had always felt wrong to look at directly, like something that wanted to be glanced past rather than st

  • The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing   What They Carry

    The lights steadied again within seconds, though the silence that followed lasted considerably longer, none of us quite willing to be the first to speak after what had just happened.“It’s listening,” Lyra had said, and no one in that room had asked her to explain further, not yet, not while her small hand was still gripped around mine and her face had gone paler than I’d ever seen it.I was the one who finally broke the silence, because someone needed to, and because I refused to let fear decide what happened next any more than I’d ever allowed it to before.“We’re not doing this tonight,” I said. “Not the explanations, not the theories, not any of it. My children need rest, and so do the rest of us, and nothing useful gets decided by people too frightened to think clearly.”The High Priestess, visibly shaken herself, didn’t argue. “Tomorrow, then,” she said. “I’ll bring everything I have. All of it, this time. No more careful half-answers.”“Good,” I said. “Because I’m finished acce

  • The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing   What The Crown Was Guarding Against

    Rowan moved the moment Lyra finished speaking, calling for guards to quietly secure the archive wing without raising alarm through the rest of the palace, while Lucien stayed close enough to Lyra that she visibly steadied simply from his presence beside her.“I need the name,” I told Rowan, my earlier caution gone entirely now that Lyra’s warning had made waiting feel like its own kind of danger.He didn’t hesitate this time. “Serah Voss,” he said. “Senior archivist. She’s held that position for just over eleven years, with full legitimate access to every restricted section we’ve been tracing this entire time.”The name meant nothing to me personally, no face attached to it that I could immediately recall, which somehow made it worse rather than better. A quiet, trusted presence I’d likely passed a dozen times without a second thought, exactly the kind of person no one would think to suspect.“Find her,” Lucien said. “Quietly. I want her located and contained before she realizes we kn

  • The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing   The Name In The Log

    Rowan returned to us two days later, and I understood from the set of his shoulders before he’d said a word that whatever he’d confirmed hadn’t made anything easier.“I wanted to be certain before I brought this to you,” he said, once Lucien had joined us and the door was secured behind him. “I’ve spent the past two days verifying it against every record I could find. I didn’t want to be wrong about something like this.”“But you’re not wrong,” I said.“No,” he said. “I’m not.”He laid out what he’d confirmed carefully, methodically, the way he always did when the weight of something required him to slow down rather than rush through it. The name from the eleven-year-old surveillance log belonged to someone who still held legitimate, longstanding access to the palace today, someone whose position had only grown more trusted over the intervening years rather than less.I won’t repeat the name here. Rowan hadn’t said it aloud to anyone beyond Lucien and myself, and some part of me under
