The sleek black SUV passed through the forest roads leading to Crestmoon territory like a predator on the hunt. Dexter sat in the vehicle, his fingers drumming against the armrest, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Beside him, Lily stared out the window, her excitement barely contained. She had trusted him completely, her charming professor, the man who had swept into her life with promises of adventure, knowledge, and a future brighter than any she had imagined. His men, all posing as excited

  • 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

    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

    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

    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,

    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.
