  The sun is higher than I’m used to seeing it. Its warmth falls across the driveway, and I can feel it in my chest, a sensation that makes me both nervous and exhilarated. Lucien stands nearby, calm as ever, watching me adjust the strap of my jacket.

    

    “I don’t need you to walk me through this,” I say. “I’ve been cooped up long enough. I can manage.”

    

    He raises an eyebrow, faint amusement in his gaze. “

  • Underneath The Moonlight    18: Walking on Glass

    I don’t hear most of what the doctor is saying. Her mouth moves. Words come out. They sound calm, practiced, reassuring—things people say when they want you to believe everything is under control. But none of it sticks. It all slides past me like water over stone. My focus keeps drifting back to the feeling in my throat. The tightness is gone now, replaced by a dull soreness and the faint sting of antiseptic. Gauze brushes my skin every time I swallow. My hands rest on my knees, fingers curled too tightly, nails pressing into my palms hard enough that it should hurt. It doesn’t. That alone should scare me. My thoughts spiral, looping back on themselves no matter how hard I try to slow them down.

  • Underneath The Moonlight    17: Shadows in the Forest

    The forest edge trembles in the quiet night. Something isn’t right. My instincts flare before my eyes catch it—movement, too deliberate to be deer, too coordinated to be random. “Lucien,” I say sharply, my voice controlled but taut. “Stay with her. Don’t let her out of your sight. Guard her with everything you’ve got.” He inclines his head, silent acknowledgment, before moving to position a few guards around the house. I watch him, grateful and frustrated all at once. I can’t risk her being vulnerable—not again. Not now. The attackers are faster than I anticipated, and already I notice something odd. Their approach isn’t typical. They move like wolves, yes, but there’s a cold calculation, a deliberate cruelty in their strikes that doesn’t match the usual patterns

  • Underneath The Moonlight    16: When the Night Breaks

    Asher is still speaking when it happens. He’s standing near the window, shoulders squared, posture calm in that infuriatingly composed way of his, as if the weight of the world doesn’t sit on him any heavier than a tailored coat. His voice is steady, measured—careful. “There’s something else you need to know,” he says. “Something important. I need you to stay calm when I—” The sound cuts through the room like a blade. It’s not a crash exactly. Not thunder. Not even something I can immediately place. It’s deeper than that—a low, violent boom that vibrates through the walls and into my bones. The floor trembles beneath my feet. The lights flicker once. Then again. Lucien straightens instantly, his entire demeanor shifting in a heartbeat. Gone is the relaxed authority. In its place is something sharp, alert, dangerous. Asher turns toward the window, eyes narrowing. Another sound follows—this one unmistakable. A distant roar. Not human. Not animal. So

  • Underneath The Moonlight    15: The Truth

    The house grows quieter as evening settles in. It isn’t the kind of silence that comes with emptiness—there are people here, moving somewhere beyond the walls—but it’s restrained, deliberate. Like the house itself knows when to hold its breath. I sit on the edge of the bed Mariel prepared for me, my hands folded loosely in my lap, staring at the faint reflection of myself in the window. I look the same. And yet… I don’t feel like I belong in my own skin anymore. The quiet presses in, wrapping itself around my thoughts until I can’t tell whether it’s meant to soothe me or keep me contained. I sit on the edge of the bed Mariel showed me earlier, hands resting on my knees, staring at the window where the trees sway gently in the fading light. Too gentle. Everything here feels… controlled. Safe, they say. Protected. But the more I replay the last few days, the more something begins to itch beneath my skin—an unease I can’t shake no matter how man

  • Underneath The Moonlight    14: Hidden Guardians

    The car ride back is quiet. I sit pressed into the seat, hands clasped together in my lap, trying to calm my still-racing heart. Outside, the scenery blurs, but I notice every detail—the way sunlight filters through trees, the faint hum of the wind. It all feels sharper than it ever has. Asher sits beside the driver, his posture calm, composed, while Lucien drives. He doesn’t speak unless necessary, and when he does, it’s brief, measured. I glance at him through the rearview mirror. He’s always aware, always watching. I realize, somewhere deep down, that for the first time since the kidnapping, I feel… safe. I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding when the car finally stops. The building before me is large, secluded, and surrounded by thick trees that block the view of the road. A different house from the one I was staying. I get a sense of deliberate isolation, a place mea

That’s all.” “I’ll be fine,” I insist, stepping toward the car. “You can… wait outside if you want.” Lucien’s expression flickers just slightly, something unreadable, before he nods. “As you wish,” he says, retreating a few steps to let me take the lead. The air hits me differently than it did inside. It’s sharper, fresher, fi
