Monica had always taught me to trust my instincts, and right now, my instincts were telling me to listen. As I gazed around the field, I noticed some movement far in the distance, coming from the canopy of trees just at the edge of the forest. It was a fox as white as snow, almost blending into the sunlight filtering through the trees. Curiosity overwhelmed me, so I stalked closer cautiously. The fox stood still as I approached, its bright eyes watching me intently, as if it was waiting for me. There was something almost magical about it, something that drew me in.

One page at a time. One person at a time. One still, deep, patient day at a time. Until the water found its level. And the room became real. And the invisible all the invisible became seen. THE SILENT LUNA End of Volume One

"In it. Alone." She looked at him. At the water on his face. At the way his shirt stuck to his shoulders. At his eyes, watching her with that intensity she'd come to recognize.

he snarled. "Get back inside." He locked me in a second-floor room. All communication devices were taken away. I struggled desperately and shouted at him. "Shane, you've completely lost your mind!" Leah stood nearby. She spoke gently and even sounded a little worried. "Alpha, Luna's condition looks very much like postpartum stress. "I'll take good care of her and the pup." The door was locked without mercy. Shane lingered outside for a long time. Only after a while did his footsteps finally fade away.

“You’ve been quiet.” I stayed silent. He circled me slowly, deliberately, a predator enjoying the game. “Did you know silence makes people nervous? They fill it with their own fears. Their own doubts.” He bent close enough that I smelled mint on his breath, a cruel contrast to the stench of this room. “Liam thrives on control. Silence eats control alive.”

Chapter 43 POV: Lydia Hart I used to believe silence was safety. If I didn’t ask, if I didn’t look too closely, if I let love fill in the gaps where truth should have been, then nothing could hurt me. Silence was the soft place I landed when the world felt sharp.

I’m lying on my side, my back to Loe, watching the dust motes dance in a sliver of sun. My body feels heavy, a dull, thrumming ache in my core that makes every breath feel like a confession.

Harlan hunched over the laptop, fingers flying across the keyboard, eyes narrowed in fierce concentration. The glow of the screen illuminated the grim lines of his face, casting long shadows in the firelit room. The sophisticated equipment arrayed around him – signal boosters, decryption software humming quietly – looked starkly alien against the rustic log walls, a testament to the hidden depths of Silas’s mountain ally.
