LYRA

By the following morning, I had made my decision.

Mara was coming with me.

I wasn't entirely sure when I'd made that decision. Maybe somewhere between her throwing me onto my back and fixing the tape around my hands afterwards, or maybe it was when she told me she wouldn't come unless I wanted her there.

Whatever the reason, when I walked into Dad's office and found him behind his desk, I didn't waste time.

"I want Mara to come with me."

Dad slowly lowered the paper in his hand. "Good morn

  • The Rise of the Rejected Luna    CHAPTER NINENTEEN - RONAN

    LYRABy the time Mara and I reached the address Dad had given me, I had learned two things.Mara could drive for hours without complaining.The second was that she could spend those same hours pretending she wasn't curious about Ronan.She had asked only three questions about him, which might not have sounded like much until I remembered what Mara was like."So Cassian didn't tell you what he does?" She asked as we turned onto a narrow road surrounded by trees."No.""Or why he lives out here?""No.""Or exactly how they know each other?"I looked across at her. "That's four questions now."Mara kept her eyes on the road. "I'm making conversation.""Of course."We had crossed into unfamiliar territory hours ago, and everything outside the window felt different. Even the wolves we passed carried scents I didn't recognise.Luna had been restless since we crossed the border.We're far from home."I know."Do you regret it?I looked out of the window.Not yet.The house appeared at the

"Good morning to you too.""Good morning. I want Mara to come with me."His mouth twitched. "I heard you the first time.""Then why aren't you saying anything?""Because I'm enjoying the fact that, for once, you made the sensible decision without me having to convince you."I narrowed my eyes. "I can still change my mind.""Then forget I said anything."I dropped into the chair opposite him.Dad's expression became more serious. "You're certain?""I don't completely trust her," I admitted. "But I trust he

  • The Rise of the Rejected Luna    CHAPTER SEVENTEEN - SOMETHING LIKE TRUST

    LYRAI knew something had changed before anyone said a word.Mum was too quiet at breakfast. Dad was worse.He sat at the end of the table with coffee he barely touched, pretending not to watch me. Mum kept finding reasons to touch my hand or shoulder, as though she needed to make sure I was still there.By the third time, I put my fork down. "All right. What happened?"Dad looked at Mum, Mum looked at Dad, and Ethan concentrated on his food."That is never a good sign.""Nothing happened," Mum assured me, but her smile appeared too quickly.They had been like this since last night. I knew Mara had been in Dad's office because I had heard voices, although I couldn't make out what anyone was saying.Part of me wanted to demand answers again. Why did Mara recognise me? What did she know?"If you're both going to stare at me like I'm heading towards my death instead of leaving Lunar Crest, you could at least try to be less obvious."Mum's expression changed immediately."I'm fine," she s

  • The Rise of the Rejected Luna    CHAPTER SIXTEEN - THE NIGHT THEY LOST EVERYTHING

    For several seconds, I could only stare at Mara."The scar came afterwards?"She nodded."Then what was Lyra born with?"Mara looked at Seraphina before her eyes returned to me."A mark. Silver, shaped almost like a crescent, although not completely formed. It was on the same side of her face where the scar is now."My hand tightened against the arm of my chair.For eighteen years, I had looked at that scar and wondered what had happened to my daughter before she came to us. I had imagined an injury during birth, an attack, perhaps even somebody deliberately hurting her.Never once had I considered that it could be something else."Selene knew what it meant?" Seraphina asked."She suspected Lyra had inherited something from her. I don't know more than that. Selene understood her bloodline better than I ever did, but the moment she saw the mark, she became terrified.""Because of Darius.""Yes. If he saw it, hiding Lyra's identity would become almost impossible."Mara lowered her eyes.

  • The Rise of the Rejected Luna    CHAPTER FIFTEEN - SELENE

    "Selene was a descendant of the Moon Goddess," Mara finally said.For a moment, I thought I had misunderstood her.Seraphina went completely still beside me."A descendant?" I repeated."Directly through the Ardent bloodline. There aren't many left, and even eighteen years ago, Selene's family kept mostly to themselves because they understood what could happen if the wrong people became interested in what their blood carried."I stared at Mara, trying to understand what she was telling me. Every wolf grew up hearing stories about the Moon Goddess. She was part of our history and traditions, but descendants of her bloodline were something I had always assumed belonged more to old stories than to the world I lived in."And Darius knew?""Not at first. He knew Selene Ardent was different, and he knew her family guarded secrets that went back generations. That was enough to make him curious.""Curious?" I asked.Mara's expression hardened. "Obsessed would probably be a better word.""Dari

  • The Rise of the Rejected Luna    CHAPTER FOURTEEN-THE NAME SHE FEARED

    I knew Mara had returned before Lyra told me.Adrian came into my office shortly before dinner wearing the expression of a man deciding whether admitting defeat twice in one day would permanently damage his reputation."She came back," he said.I put down the papers I had been pretending to read. "Mara?"He nodded. "Lyra saw her on the path behind the packhouse."For a moment, I said nothing. I made it clear to that woman that I didn't want her approaching Lyra until Seraphina and I understood what we were dealing with. Apparently, Mara had decided my instructions were optional."Did she approach her?""According to Lyra, no. She was watching from the trees; Lyra noticed her, and they spoke."That sounded exactly like the sort of distinction Mara would make."What did she tell her?""Nothing useful. Lyra questioned her, Mara avoided nearly everything, and then she left."I leaned back in my chair, irritation settling heavily in my chest. "And you lost her again?"Adrian stared at me.
