CAUGHT BETWEEN WOLVES chapter eighteen
Victoria sent for me before dawn, while the pack house was still dark and quiet, the kind of hour where the only sounds were early birds and my own footsteps on the stone floor of the library. She was already at the table when I arrived, the same table from before, except now it was buried under a small mountain of books, some so old their spines had cracked into fragments, others hand-copied in ink that had faded to brown. "Sit," she said, not looking up from the text she was smoothing flat. "There's a great deal to go through, and I'd rather you hear it from me, in order, than piece it together yourself from half of it." I sat. Something in her tone had shifted since our first conversation—less caution now, more weight, like she'd crossed some internal threshold about how much I was owed. "The Lunara were not simply rare," she began, without preamble. "They were considered sacred. Not by the packs—by the Moon Goddess herself. The old texts describe them as a bridge. A bloodline ca
CAUGHT BETWEEN WOLVES chapter seventeen
I woke before dawn, restless in a way sleep hadn't touched. The argument in Turner's study kept playing itself back in my head—his voice cracking around the edges when he said he wouldn't forgive himself, the heat of him standing close enough that I'd forgotten, for one unguarded second, to be afraid of anyone.I told myself I wasn't going to the border to meet Mira. I told myself that the whole walk there, as if repeating it made it more true.Training that morning was thin, half the guild still recovering from the festival two nights before, and it wasn't hard to slip an excuse past Gregory's assistant when he wasn't looking—a claim about needing more red ribbon from the healers, a direction that happened to run past the edge of the training field and straight toward the tree line. I told myself I only wanted to see for myself. Not to meet her. Just to look.The border forest thinned the farther east I went, the trees older and closer together, the ground marked with the kind of qui

The border guard found me near the guild armory, a folded, sealed piece of parchment held out at arm's length like he wasn't entirely sure what to do with it."This came through the eastern checkpoint an hour ago," he said. "Addressed to you. Specifically." He read the front of it aloud before handing it over, like he needed to confirm the name matched the girl standing in front of him. "Chelsea Keith. Formerly of Silverclan."My hands went cold before I'd even broken the seal. I knew that handwriting. I'd grown up watching it fill the margins of shared schoolbooks, watched it scrawl birthday messages and grocery lists and, once, a note slipped under my door the night before my wedding that only said good luck, though I understood now how little those two words had meant coming from her.Mira.I waited until the guard had gone before I opened it, standing alone at the edge of the armory with my heart beating too hard for a piece of paper.Chelsea,I don't expect you to read this witho

"The Moonrise Festival," Erin announced at breakfast, spreading jam across her toast like the words explained themselves. "Tonight. Full moon, food, music, the whole pack out until the torches burn down. You're coming."My stomach dropped before I'd even finished chewing. "I don't think that's a good idea.""Why not?""Because the last time I stood in front of this whole pack, half of them wanted to send me back where I came from, and I'm fairly sure the other half were just being polite about wanting the same thing.""That was weeks ago," Erin said, waving her toast at me like it settled the matter. "You train with half the guild now. You beat May's assistant last week. People talk, Chelsea, and lately what they're saying isn't what it used to be. Tonight is the best chance you'll get to actually be seen as one of us instead of just tolerated. You have to come."She didn't give me much room to argue, and by the time the sun went down I found myself walking beside her toward the main
CAUGHT BETWEEN WOLVES chapter fourteen
The summons came from Lady Victoria herself, not through an elder or a runner boy the way Turner usually sent his instructions. She found me at the edge of the training yard, waited until I'd finished wiping the sweat from my face, and said only, "Walk with me," in a tone that made it clear this wasn't a request I was meant to weigh.I followed her to a long stone building I hadn't been inside before, its shelves crowded floor to ceiling with books bound in cracked leather, the air thick with the smell of old paper and something faintly herbal underneath it. She sat me at a table near the window and, without any preamble, held out her hand."The pendant," she said. "May I?"I hesitated only a second before lifting it over my head and placing it in her palm. It was the only thing I still had from before—from my mother, from the life that had tried to kill me three separate times in one night. I hadn't let it out of my sight since.Victoria turned it over slowly, holding it up to the wi

Gregory was already at the guild when I arrived the next morning, sleeves pushed up, going through a set of drills alone in the grey early light. He stopped when he saw me and something in his face opened up, surprised and pleased all at once.“You’re up early,” he said. “I half expected you to still be recovering.”“I feel better than I have in years,” I told him, and it was the truth. My body didn’t ache. My mind, for once, wasn’t crowded with Jordan’s voice or my mother’s or the memory of my own name in Mira’s mouth turned into an accusation. “Teach me something.”He studied me a moment, head tilted, like he was recalibrating something. “All right. Let’s start with the basics. Stance. Control. You don’t need to be in your wolf skin to pull on wolf strength—you just need to know how to ask for it without opening the whole door.”He showed me the stance, feet planted, weight low, and told me to reach for the thing under my skin the way I’d reach for a held breath. I closed my eyes an

“That went better than I thought it would,” Erin said as we sat down in her room, but I wasn’t paying attention. My mind was on Gregory, who was probably asleep in the next room. After Turner had put me in his care, he had moved me out of the shabby room I’d been staying in and into their own home.
CAUGHT BETWEEN WOLVES Chapter three
Chapter ThreeAs the fire advanced, I wished I could wolf out and tear the ropes, or make my claws come out so I could free myself, but I couldn’t because I had not yet gotten my wolf, I wondered if I even had one. I was twenty-one—three years past the normal age for turning—yet I had not experien

Chapter TwoJordan’s cold, evil stare rested on me as my mom applied makeup on my face. “She doesn’t need all that makeup. She is pretty as she is,” Dad said, trying to cheer me up, since it was evident to everyone in the room I was not happy about being forced into a wedding with Jordan.“All set,
