All Chapters of Rebirth of the Vengeful Luna: Chapter 61 - Chapter 67

Chapter 62Ravenna's POVThe vial sat in my palm for a moment before I used it.I had already applied it in the car, one line across my wrist the way Jaxen had shown me, but I could still feel the weight of having chosen it. That was the thing nobody told you about making informed choices. They didn't feel lighter than uninformed ones. They felt heavier, because you couldn't distribute the responsibility anywhere else. You had chosen with full knowledge and whatever came next was yours to carry.I had chosen.The rain scent had faded into something I couldn't detect anymore, which Jaxen said was correct, you weren't supposed to be able to smell it on yourself after the first few minutes. Your own nose adjusted. Everyone else's wouldn't.I watched the landscape change.It happened gradually, the way significant things usually did. The city hadn't ended so much as thinned, buildings becoming less frequent, then absent, the road widening, the quality of the dark on either side shifting f

Chapter 64Ravenna's POVHe didn't call it a tour.He just walked, and explained things as they became relevant, and let me set the pace.

The votes secured, the timing planned, the sequence of Friday laid out so clearly in my head that I had stopped needing the paper in front of me and was just sitting with it.I was in control.That was the thing I had kept returning to all week. Whatever Ravenna had managed to hold together in that board meeting, whatever Jaxen had survived by some combination of her protection and legal maneuvering, none of it had reached the pack.
