The moon goddess chose wrong: twice CHAPTER 128: HEALING
ThomasI couldn't sleep immediately, I lay in the clean bed in the warm room and listened to the sounds of the pack house settling around me, and let my mind move through everything at whatever pace it wanted.I missed being free, Dexter took that away from me, nobody has said anything about him if he was dead or alive,Deep down, I wished he was.The pack house was clearing and I could feel it, the particular lifting quality of something that had been pressing on my thoughts for months gradually releasing its grip. Not all at once. But incrementally, the way fog lifts in the morning, patch by patch, revealing more of the landscape underneath.I remembered more than I had shown Dexter’s people.That had been a deliberate choice made early in the captivity, when I had understood the nature of what was happening and calculated that appearing less functional than I was gave me more freedom than appearing fully present would. A warrior’s instinct. Assess the situation and choose your postu
The moon goddess chose wrong: twice CHAPTER 127: FIRST NIGHT HOME
Chapter 127: First Night HomeNinaThe silver fang pack received my father the way it received me and everyone, without fake smiles and with complete sincerity.Chloe had prepared the room at the end of the south corridor, the one with the wide window overlooking the garden and the old oak that caught the afternoon light in a way that turned everything golden. It was not the largest room or the most impressive but it was warm and quiet and had the particular quality of a space that had been prepared with genuine care rather than obligation.Fresh sheets. A pitcher of water on the nightstand. A small vase of late season flowers from the garden that I recognized as Chloe’s particular brand of thoughtfulness, the kind that didn’t announce itself but was simply there when you needed it.My father stood in the doorway and looked at the room for a moment.Then he looked at me.“You told them about the flowers,” he said.I hadn’t. Chloe had simply known, the way Chloe knew most things, throu

EnzoThe tunnel was narrower with Thomas than it had been without him.Not physically we could all manage the space, He was slight enough that the width wasn’t a problem. But the aura of moving a man who had been through what he had gone through underground passage required a different kind of attention we were careful so he doesn't fall of slip everyone watching him withcarefuleyes, the practical care of people moving someone who was not at full strength through difficult terrain, and I found myself on one side of him with Nina on the other and the warriors arranged around us to catch anything the terrain might throw.He moved steadily trying to act and seemed strong so we wouldn't worry. That made me respect him more.He was stronger and Better than I expected, honestly. Nina had described her father as weakened and failing and the dementia was so bad and while all of those things were true in their way, what I saw in the tunnel was someone who had spent months being deliberately m
The moon goddess chose wrong: twice CHAPTER 125: RESCUE MISSION
NinaDad was smaller than I remembered.Not physically, he was the same height, the same broad shoulders that had carried me on them when I was small enough to fit. But he had the particular look of someone who had been compressed by months of difficult circumstances, worn thinner, worn quieter.His eyes though.His eyes were clearer than they had been the last time I had seen him in this building, that desperate five minute visit with alarms beginning to sound. The particular cloudiness that had lived in them for years, the fog of the dementia that had been stealing him piece by piece, was less dense this morning.Then he said “My little girl.”My father’s name for me. The one he had used since I was small enough to curl in his lap while he read, the one that had faded in and out over the years of his illness, present when he was clearer and absent when he wasn’t.I crossed the room and put my arms around him and he put his arms around me and the woman standing next to him, we stood
The moon goddess chose wrong: twice CHAPTER 124: RESCUE
KaiThe tunnel entrance was exactly where Nina had described it.Three twisted oaks at the base of the eastern ridge, the ground between their roots disturbed by previous passage, a crevice in the rock face that looked like nothing but was the way to know that was the passage.I had memorized the description from her account and cross referenced it with the intel I had given Max during my debrief and it matched precisely.I went in first, not out of heroism. Out of the practical reality that I knew Crestmoon’s interior layout better than anyone else in the group and the front position was where that knowledge was most useful.Nina came second. Then Enzo. Then Tessa and Ronan and four additional warriors were moving with the compressed efficient quiet of people who had been briefed and knew exactly what they were doing.The tunnel was Damp and narrow and smelling of earth and old stone, i moved through it with the torch held low, checking each branch point against the mental map, choos
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
