The Substitute Luna’s Revenge Jenna’s Prophecy
Jenna’s POVI chose my first conversation carefully. Not the council, not anyone whose word would carry too much weight too quickly, just Mira, one of the elder healers, a woman already inclined to believe the worst about the strange things happening in this pack.“I probably shouldn’t say anything,” I told her, letting my voice tremble just enough. “I don’t want to frighten anyone over something that might mean nothing.”“What is it, dear?” She set down her mortar, giving me her full attention immediately, exactly as I’d expected.“I’ve been having dreams.” I looked down at my hands, twisting them together the way a genuinely frightened person might. “Dark ones. Crops dying, the land itself suffering. I keep telling myself it’s nothing, just fear finding its way into my sleep, but they feel so real, Mira. I don’t know what to do with that.”Her face had already gone pale. “The crops in your dream, do they look like what happened in the east?”“I don’t want to say more than I should.
The Substitute Luna’s Revenge Distance Between Them
Kenna’s POVI noticed it within days of the harvest trip. Jace was still kind, still stepped between me and every hostile whisper the pack threw my way, but something underneath it had changed. He spent longer hours in his study now, doors closed. He met privately with warriors, with council members, conversations that stopped the moment I entered a room instead of continuing the way they used to.“Is everything all right?” I asked him once, catching him in the corridor as he moved between meetings.“Fine,” he said, already distracted, already moving past me before I’d finished the question.It wasn’t unkindness. It was worse than that, it was far away, and I didn’t understand where it had come from.I didn’t know he’d found proof the disasters predated me. I didn’t know any of it. All I knew was that the man who’d laughed at my flowers beside a stream, who’d defended me in front of a garden full of accusing servants, now seemed to be somewhere else entirely whenever I looked at him.
The Substitute Luna’s Revenge Before she became luna
Jace’s POVThe farmer’s claim wouldn’t leave me alone. If he was right, everything the pack had built against Kenna rested on nothing but timing, she became Luna, and shortly after, Babcock’s troubles began. It felt solid on the surface. But if those same troubles had existed before her coronation, the whole foundation cracked apart.I wasn’t willing to bring that to the council on secondhand memory alone. I needed proof.“I want every farming report from the last two years,” I told the archivist that evening. “Crop failures, unexplained losses, anything unusual, regardless of how minor it seemed at the time.”“That’s a great deal of paper, Alpha.”“Then I’ll need the evening.”The early reports told me nothing. Routine harvest numbers, weather notes, storage logs, the ordinary business of a pack feeding itself through changing seasons. I kept digging anyway, growing more frustrated with each unremarkable page, until I started finding vague references buried in the margins of otherwis
The Substitute Luna’s Revenge Failed Harvest
Kenna’s POVI was awake before sunrise, gathering whatever supplies could be spared, food, medicine, cloth, anything the affected families might need while they salvaged what remained.“They might not welcome you,” Elaine warned, watching me pack the last of the baskets. “After the garden. After everything the servants have been saying.”“I’m not going to abandon people who are suffering because some of them blame me for their bad luck.” I tied off the final basket. “If I let that stop me, I might as well let them decide who I am.”She didn’t argue further, though I caught the worry, still creasing her expression as I left with a small group of servants and guards, the wagon loaded heavier than usual.The damage was worse than I’d expected. Entire sections of farmland lay ruined, crops that should have been weeks from harvest now blackened and useless in the dirt. Farmers stood at the edges of their fields in a kind of silence I recognized, the particular stillness of people watching
The Substitute Luna’s Revenge Jace Takes Her Sides
Jace’s POVI heard about the accusations before I even reached the garden, the words trailing after me through the corridor faster than I could outpace them.By the time I arrived, the servants had already gathered in loose clusters around the withered flower beds, whispering among themselves as though Kenna standing only a few feet away couldn’t hear a single word of it.“Healthy before she became Luna,” one voice muttered.“Strange things follow her everywhere now,” another added.I walked straight into the middle of it.“Enough.” My voice cut through the garden hard enough that every conversation died at once. “No one accuses Kenna of anything without proof. Is that understood?”“Alpha, the timing…” one of the maids started.“Timing isn’t evidence.” I looked around at the gathered faces, letting the silence stretch until it made its own point. “The gardeners haven’t even determined what killed these plants. Until they have an answer, I won’t have rumors about deciding it for them.
The Substitute Luna’s Revenge Withered Garden
Kenna’s POVI noticed it the moment I stepped outside, before anyone said a word. The eastern flower beds, so full of color only days ago, now hung limp and gray, petals curled inward like they had been scorched from the inside out. I crossed the courtyard quickly, finding Elaine already crouched beside the worst of it, the head gardener wringing his hands beside her.“What happened?” I knelt across from them, running my fingers gently over a wilted stem that should have still been blooming.“I checked these myself last night,” the gardener said, clearly rattled. “Healthy. Every one of them. No pests, no blight, nothing to explain this.”I helped them inspect the soil, digging carefully around the roots, looking for anything that might explain the sudden collapse, insects, rot, some sign the ground itself had turned against what grew in it. We found nothing. The roots looked as healthy as the leaves looked dead, which made no sense at all.More servants gathered as word spread throu
