The moon goddess chose wrong: twice CHAPTER 107: THE CONFESSION
Enzo We sat in the kitchen not my office, not any of the spaces that would make it too serious, or a room that carried the weight of Alpha business and pack politics and all the things that had been pressing down on both of us for months. The kitchen at two in the morning was something else entirely, warm and ordinary, smelling of the bread someone had baked earlier and the herbs that hung drying from the rack above the window. I had made tea without asking if she wanted any. She had sat down without asking if that was acceptable. We had arrived at the table the way we arrived at most things, without a plan, through the accumulated gravity of two people who had been circling each other for months and had finally run out of distance to circle. Kai was in the guest room at the end of the east corridor. I was aware of exactly where Kai was at all times, but why he was here was what I didn't understand. Nina wrapped both hands around her mug and looked at it for a moment in the way
The moon goddess chose wrong: twice CHAPTER 106: MENTOR
Anthony seemed different, Something moved through the expression that was not quite guilt and not quite relief, and was possibly both he was trying to hide his expression.“May I sit down?” he asked. “Yes, no one is stopping you” I said. “And then you’re going to tell me everything. Not the version you’ve been lying about.”He moved to the chair by the window and lowered himself into it with the careful movement of genuine old age. I remained standing. The room was very quiet, the night pressing against the window glass, the pipe tobacco ghost haunting the curtains.“How long have you known?” he asked.“Long enough,” I said. “The dates on the records go back four years. When did it actually start?”He folded his hands in his lap. “Five years ago,” he said. “The day I put the title on your shoulders.”The words fell into the room with the weight of a confession that had been held so long it had lost its shape.“I looked at that broken pack,” he said quietly, “and I thought, let the bo

Max fell into step beside me in the corridor, matching my pace, waiting.“Anthony,” I said.“Yes,” he said.We walked in silence for a moment.“Four years,” I said.“Yes.”“He was at my father’s funeral in Crestmoon. When we moved here, he placed the Alpha title on my shoulders.” I kept walking, kept my voice level. “He has sat in my war room for five years and eaten at my table and counseled me on every significant decision this pack has made.”“Yes,” Max said again. Quietly.“And he has been making every significant decision for Dexter for four of those five years.”“Yes.”We reached the staircase. I stopped at the bottom, one hand on the newel post, and stood there for a moment with my eyes closed.The grief was there. I was surprised by how much of it there was, how cleanly separate it was from the anger, how both could coexist without diminishing each other. I had thought that what I felt about Anthony after the garden conversation was complicated enough. This was something else,
The moon goddess chose wrong: twice CHAPTER 104: THE LEAK
The interrogation room beneath the Silver Fang pack house had not been used seriously since the last time Dexter tried to raid silverfang.Tonight was not a diplomatic situation, We had captured four of Dexter’s lieutenants during the farmhouse retreat, men who had not moved fast enough or been positioned close enough to their Alpha’s extraction route to disappear with the rest. They sat in separate holding cells now, silver cuffs binding them, and very much aware that the evening had not gone the way they had been told it would.I had let them sit for two hours.That was something Anthony had taught me years ago, before I understood the full cost of his counsel. Let them think, he had said. A man who has time to imagine what’s coming is already half broken before you say a word, it's a form of torture on its own.The irony of using his advice tonight was not lost on me.Max stood next to me by my shoulder as I pushed open the first cell door. The lieutenant inside was mid forties, he
The moon goddess chose wrong: twice CHAPTER 103: MY MATE
NinaI heard Lily’s sound through the night before I saw anything.Kai and I had been moving through the forest for twenty minutes following the path steadily as Silver Fang’s pack lands gave way to the neutral zone and the farmhouse came into earshot before it came into view.I felt something was terribly wrong, I l heard the fighting, I felt Enzo through the bond, the particular quality of an Alpha in the middle of something dangerous, focused and controlled, and underneath it a thread of something that was not quite fear but was adjacent to it.Then the sound changed.The fighting had paused. The quality of the silence that replaced it was the worst kind, the kind with a held breath inside it, the kind that happened when something had shifted and everyone was waiting to see which way things went. I was walking as fast as I could.I pushed through the last stretch of trees walking as fast as I could, and came out at the edge of the farmhouse.I took in the scene in one sweep. The fi
The moon goddess chose wrong: twice CHAPTER 102: THE FARMHOUSE II
EnzoThey came out in a formation that confirmed everything. Twenty two fighters, I counted them quickly, spreading into a perimeter around the yard with the practiced efficiency of people who had been told exactly where to go and had been waiting in position long enough to be comfortable. They were disciplined and well-equipped and they had been here for hours.Dexter came out last.He walked out of the farmhouse itself, not the barn, through the front door, which meant he had been inside watching the entire approach. He was dressed simply, in dark clothes, no armor, with the loose unhurried confidence of someone who knew the numbers were in his favor and saw no reason to dress the occasion up.I was looking for something in his face. Some shared angle of jaw or quality of eye that would make the document in my pocket feel real rather than theoretical. He was taller than I had imagined, broader through the shoulders, with the particular physical presence of an Alpha who had earned it
The moon goddess chose wrong: twice CHAPTER 24: ANYTHING FOR MY ALPHA
CassieFrom the cave, where they abandoned me as a home at the end of the pack, I watched it all like a scene ripped straight from my worst nightmare, playing out in agonizing slow motion, I felt like I was going to throw up.The Alpha, my Alpha Enzo carried that dripping pathetic little nobody thr

EnzoThe pack house had gone quiet after midnight, the kind of quiet that presses against your eardrums and makes every creak feel like a warning. I hadn’t slept I couldn't not with all that was bothering me.Not with Nina lying in the guest suite two doors down, breathing the same air as me but fe

Enzo Everything about her was a quiet assault on my control.The way her dark lashes fanned against pale cheeks still bruised from battle. The faint rise and fall of her chest beneath the thin hospital gown, the stubborn set of her jaw even in sleep, like she was already fighting me in her dreams.

NinaThe next dayI stumble out of the pack house, my legs carrying me on autopilot through the winding paths of the compound. The air is crisp, laced with pine and the distant howl of patrols, but it does nothing to clear the fog in my head. Dexter’s words echo like a curse: medical records, Luna,
