The moon goddess chose wrong: twice CHAPTER 123: SAVING THE INLAW
EnzoDexter went into the cells without resistance.That was the part I hadn’t entirely prepared for. I had prepared for arguments and bargaining and the particular brand of cold composure he used when he was managing a situation he didn’t control. I had not prepared for the simple quiet of a man who had made his decision in a warehouse at dawn and was inhabiting it without drama.The holding level was quiet at this hour. The regional council’s representatives had arrived the previous evening and had been working through the night with Anthony’s confession and the lieutenants’ statements, Dexter's case was two days away, the careful methodical work of people who had done this before and understood that thoroughness mattered more than speed.I walked Dexter to the cell at the end of the corridor myself.Max had offered to do it. I had said no.The cell was clean and adequately lit and carried the silver ward hum that I had ordered maintained at minimum necessary levels, enough to preve
The moon goddess chose wrong: twice CHAPTER 122: BLOOD II
Enzo Dexter looked at me.The fight had left him he didn't seem defeated just like he gave up on the fight with was unlike Dexter but that was my plan all along to wear him out till he taps out.“I hated you,” he said. The words came out stripped of performance. Just the plain statement of something he had stopped seeing the point of disguising. “From the moment I understood what your existence meant in my life, my father didn't just reject my mother, he rejected me and accepted you. Before I even saw your face I hated you I hated the idea of you, you had the life I wanted.”“I know,” I said.“And then I saw what you built,” he said. “Silver Fang. What it was when you took it and what you made it into, I hated that too, your mother made sure I gotCrestmoon I got it in a good state, even if no one knew I was his son the necessary people knew.” “I was pissed that you could bring that from scratch, that you could take something broken and make it worth having. I told myself I wanted y
The moon goddess chose wrong: twice CHAPTER 121: BLOOD
Enzo“I know how she died I was fucking there,” he said rushing at me.He rushed at me but his men restrained him. Rushing in was a bad choice; they were outnumbered and he wasn't thinking straight.“I know you do,” I said. “I’m saying it because it deserves to be said out loud by someone from your family. Because nobody ever said it and it should have been said years ago and I apologize in his stead.” I held his gaze. “She deserved better. You deserved better. What our father did to both of you was a cowardice so complete it shaped everything that came after.”The warehouse was completely silent.Dexter looked at me with an expression I couldn’t entirely read, something layered and carefully held that had been building pressure for years and was now very close to the surface.“Don’t,” he said.“Don’t what?”“Don’t stand there being reasonable at me,” he said. “Don’t look at me like I’m something worth grieving for. It’s thirty years too late for that and we both know it.”“It’s too l
The moon goddess chose wrong: twice CHAPTER 120: THE DOCKS
EnzoThe east docks smelled of salt water and old rust and something underneath both of those that was more specific and more recent.Fear.Not mine. The accumulated residue of people who had passed through this place carrying it, the particular scent that soaked into the walls and concrete over the years of Dexter using this location for things that left marks you couldn’t scrub out. I had read the ledgers. I knew what had moved through these warehouses. Standing inside the smell of it was different from reading about it on paper.Max walked behind me surveying the place. Ronan and Jax flanked us. Four more warriors held the perimeter, moving through the outer approach with the quiet efficiency of people who had been briefed thoroughly and understood exactly what was at stake, we might make it home or not.The central warehouse was ahead.Large, Industrial. Its corrugated metal walls catch the gray morning light without warmth. A single door on the south face stood slightly ajar, wh
The moon goddess chose wrong: twice CHAPTER 119: NO ESCAPE
JessicaThe cell was smaller than I had expected.Not physically. The dimensions were adequate. But cells had a quality of smallness that had nothing to do with their measurements, the compressed air of a space with no exits, I was locked up, and I had to ask the nobody Nina to get water and food. If only I had listened to Dexter and we had stuck together all of this would have been avoided but he was a slug dragging me behind.I felt a particular weight of walls that were not going to move regardless of what you did. I couldn't use my powers in here, so I sat on the bed and looked at the wall, and let the composure go.Not dramatically. Not with the kind of collapse that made noise. Just the quiet internal release of something I had been holding very tightly for a very long time finally being allowed to put itself down.She had won. The bitch had won, she was probably in the pack house with Enzo being happy.She won not only because she was stronger, but also because she had people w
The moon goddess chose wrong: twice CHAPTER 118: REPENTANCE
Nina I wasn't surprised by how Jessica was acting. The nod of someone having confirmed what they had always known and had simply needed to hear said plainly.Jessica has done so many evil things towards Enzo, cheating on him, rejecting him, and getting involved with Dexter who is his half-brother. And trying to kill me, there was no way in hell he loved her.“It wasn’t about you,” I said. “I want you to hear that clearly. It wasn’t that you weren’t enough. It was that the bond was never between you. The Moon Goddess doesn’t make those mistakes and she doesn’t correct them by force.” I paused. “What happened between you and Enzo five years ago was real and it was painful and he carried it for years. But it was never going to become what you wanted it to be. Not because of your failures. Because of the nature of what a mate bond is.”She looked at me.Something in her expression moved past the composure and past the careful dignity and found the rawness underneath, the thing that had

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,
