Alpha Blake's Broken Luna
We bear the night into it without ceremony because ceremony can wait and the work can’t.
The trucks hissed. Engines die. For a moment, the only sound is the box, humming like a hive that forgot the queen. And then one of the babies laughs again, pure and pointless as starlight.
“Later,” Blake says for the last time tonight, voice breaking on a laugh he can’t hold. He squeezes my fingers, a quick, rough press that says more than any vow we could bleed for. I squeeze back, and when I step down from the truck my knees hold, my heart holds, and the wolf inside me bares her teeth in the dark like a woman who has remembered how.
