I couldn’t stop shaking.

Even hours after the challenge, my hands still trembled, my stomach a tight knot. I kept replaying the scene in the ring — Rafe, monstrous and magnificent in his wolf form, black as night, eyes burning like a fallen god’s. And Calder, beaten into the ground, whining his surrender as the pack roared its approval.

The moment I’d seen Rafe shift back — bloody, breathing hard, and co

  • To Love The Hunters Daughter   Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-One – Epilogue: The World We Built Evelyn

    Evelyn Rafe had been right about the twins.Not that he'd known — not exactly. But he'd said they from the moment of the first kick, that quiet instinctive plural neither of us had examined too closely at the time. It was only at the fourth month that I'd felt her.Lena had been there all along, tucked quietly behind her brother whose Alpha bond blazed so bright, I thought it had drowned her out completely. Wren said it was unusual. I said it wasn't unusual at all — I'd looked at my daughter's face and understood immediately that she had simply been waiting until she was ready to be found. Deliberate. Patient. Entirely herself from the very beginning.Thane had announced himself with a kick. Lena had made herself known in the dark and the quiet, a second warmth unfolding beneath the first like something that had always been there and was only now choosing to be seen.That had been eight months ago.Now they were one year old, and the settlement had apparently decided that restraint

    RafeThe main hall was full by the time I steered Evelyn through the doors.Evening meals had become something different over the past months — less the formal gathering of a pack that had been through too much and more the warm, overlapping noise of people who had stopped being careful with each other.Someone's child slept under a bench. The smell of whatever Mara had decided the Luna needed tonight lingered in the air — which meant it was also what the rest of the pack was eating, because Mara brooked no argument on the matter.Evelyn settled into her seat beside mine with the careful deliberateness of someone navigating the world with a changed center of gravity.I sat beside her. Someone appeared immediately with food — it happened that way now, automatically. The whole pack oriented toward her with the quiet attention of wolves whose Luna was carrying their Alpha's heir.She ate with the focused contentment of someone whose appetite had returned after weeks of negotiating with i

    EvelynNobody had warned me that carrying an Alpha pup would be quite like this.Three months in and I understood it now in a way I hadn't when Wren first explained it — not intellectually but physically, viscerally, in the way your body teaches you things your mind was too slow to grasp. The bump was undeniable at this point, round and present and apparently visible from considerable distances if the way people adjusted their paths around me was any indication. Calder had nearly walked into a wall last week because he'd been watching where I was rather than where he was going. I'd chosen not to mention it.The emotions were something else entirely.Last Tuesday I had cried at a sunset. Not a remarkable sunset, just an ordinary one, the kind that happened every evening. The weekend before that I had felt a surge of irritation so complete and consuming that I'd had to excuse myself from a council meeting because Cassian had made a mildly amusing comment and I couldn't decide whether

    EvelynA week later, Mara noticed it first.We were sitting in the small courtyard off the eastern wing, the morning quiet around us.Mara had brought tea. I'd taken one sip and set it down.She watched me do it."You've done that three mornings in a row," she said."The tea is too strong.""It's the same tea you've been drinking for months."I didn't have an answer for that.Mara set down her own cup. She looked at me with the particular focused attention of a woman who had spent years learning to read what people weren't saying."When did you last eat a full meal?" she asked.I opened my mouth to answer and realized I wasn't sure.The past week had been — I'd thought it was the ordinary exhaustion of the Luna role finding its shape. The faint nausea that came in the mornings and faded by midday. The particular tiredness that didn't quite lift even after a full night's sleep. I'd attributed it to the pace of everything settling. To the bond with the pack, still new enough to feel de

  • To Love The Hunters Daughter   Chapter One Hundred and Seventeen – Worth It

    EvelynTwo days later Mara, Talia and I were finally able to take time out for ourselves.Mara had been planning it since the treaty signing — the three of us, no pack business, no diplomacy, just the river and whatever trouble she'd been plotting in that basket she refused to let me inspect beforehand."What's in there?" I asked as we walked."Supplies," she said pleasantly."That's not an answer.""No," she agreed. "It isn't."Talia was already laughing.The river was exactly as I remembered it, wide and clear, rushing over polished stones, the atmosphere feeling like utter peace.We'd been here before, the three of us — back when I was still finding my footing in a world that hadn't fully decided whether to accept me. That afternoon felt like a different lifetime. A different Evelyn, sitting at the edge of the water with her knees pulled to her chest, trying to figure out where she ended and the fear began.This time I kicked off my boots before we'd even reached the bank.Talia n

  • To Love The Hunters Daughter   Chapter One Hundred and Sixteen – New Beginnings

    EvelynThree weeks later, the settlement felt like itself again.The visiting packs had returned home — Caden with a nod that meant more than most people's speeches, Soren with the gruff warmth of a wolf who had decided something and wasn't going to make a ceremony of it.The Ironridge emissaries had departed with their records and their sealed reports, Aldren's goodbye brief and warm, Varen's precise and genuine, Corren's quiet and accompanied by a small carved token he pressed into my hand without explanation.The Order contingent had left with Aldric — Garrett shaking Rafe's hand at the border the same way he had in the treaty hall, Reyna staying behind as planned, finding her feet in her new role.The settlement breathed differently without them all.Not emptier. Settled. The way a room feels after a long gathering when the people who belong there are finally the only ones left.I had been Luna — officially, irrevocably, in the eyes of the Moon and every pack and the Order and Iro

    EvelynThe next morning, I woke feeling like the weight of the entire night before still sat on my chest. Every howl, every cry, every shiver of fear seemed stitched into my bones.I sat up slowly, stretching against the dull ache in my ribs. A small fire s

    EvelynThe night after the punishment, sleep didn’t come.I lay awake in Rafe’s quarters — because where else could I be? — staring up at the carved wooden beams overhead, replaying every lash, every scream, every ragged breath.

    EvelynThat night, Mara helped me dress again—this time in thicker clothes, a tunic, heavy boots, and a deep blue cloak that brushed the ground.My stomach turned, bile rising every time I thought of what waited outside.“Where are we goi

    EvelynI was going to lose my mind.Three days trapped in bed and I was ready to throw myself out the window—even if it meant tearing every single stitch and crawling into the forest like a wounded animal. Each time I so much as shifted wrong, Mara was there, shooting me that look that promised she
