Chapter Nineteen

POV: Zara

I found Kael standing near the elder's house and walked up beside him and stood there quietly for a moment before I spoke because I had learned early that with Kael the approach mattered as much as the words and rushing into his silence was the fastest way to make him close off completely.

"You have been out here for a while," I said.

"Thinking," he said.

"About the attack?"

"Among other things."

I looked at the side of his face and I already knew what the other thing

  • EVEN ALPHAS KNEEL: The Rejected Mightiest Luna    Chapter Sixty Four

    Chapter Sixty FourPOV: Sera AshwoodThe moment we turned the corner and Kael's presence disappeared from my back I burst out laughing.Not the polite kind. Not the kind I performed for rooms. The real kind, the kind that came from somewhere genuine and deep and had been sitting in my chest since the moment I reached out and took Reuel's hand and watched Kael's face do that thing, that specific thing, that cold shocked stillness of a man who had just understood something he did not want to understand.So that was what it felt like from his side.Interesting. Genuinely interesting. I filed it away in the place where I kept the things I was going to use later and composed my face back into something appropriate and pulled my hand out of Reuel's grip because I had used it for its purpose and I was done with it now."You can let go," I said.

  • EVEN ALPHAS KNEEL: The Rejected Mightiest Luna    Chapter Sixty -Three

    Chapter Sixty ThreePOV: Kael DravonI came to her door that morning because I had spent the entire night telling myself I was not going to and had failed completely at convincing myself of that, and I stood there and knocked and when she opened it the first thing I noticed was that something in her face had changed since the campaign ended.Not dramatically. Not in a way that announced itself. But I had been studying Seraphine Ashwood's face since we were children and I knew every version of it and what was on it right now was a version I had not seen before, something composed and deliberate and pointed inward in a way that gave nothing away and was doing so on purpose."I thought we could train together," I said. "The border sentries are reporting unusual activity three miles east. I want to run the outer perimeter."She looked at me for a moment and then she smiled.Not the warm real smile. The other one. The one that sat perfectly on her face and reached absolutely nowhere near he

  • EVEN ALPHAS KNEEL: The Rejected Mightiest Luna    Chapter Sixty -Two

    Chapter Sixty Two POV: Sera AshwoodI walked away from the campaign site with my wolf settled and my power fully present and my chest carrying something that felt dangerously close to hope, and I killed it before it could breathe properly because hope was the thing that had gotten me into every single situation I was currently in and I was done letting it make my decisions.Kael had fought beside me for six days. Six days of him keeping the line between me and everything trying to reach me, six days of his wolf warm and certain at my left side, six days of the mate bond doing things I had spent months trying not to feel and finally stopped pretending I was not feeling. Six days of him being exactly what I had always known he was capable of being when he stopped converting everything into strategy and just let himself show up.And I was going to do absolutely nothing with any of it. Yet.I sat in my room that first night back in Pack Ironveil and I looked at the ceiling and I thought a

    Chapter Sixty OnePOV: Sera AshwoodThe first tear closed under my hands like a wound sealing and I stood in the middle of the borderlands with my wolf fully forward and my chest heaving and thought, I can do this, I can actually do this, and then I turned northwest because the second tear was pulling at me the way the first one had pulled and it was bigger and I could feel the difference in the pull the way you feel the difference between a stream and a river when you are standing in both."We are moving northwest," I said to the two guards Kael had assigned me, and they moved without asking questions because they were good wolves and good wolves did not ask questions when the Veilborn had that expression on her face.The borderlands were loud around us. The sound of the campaign, eight hundred wolves and the specific chaos of a rogue force being hit from three directions simultaneously, pressed in from every side and I moved through it with my wolf pointing me northwest and my Veilb

    Chapter SixtyPOV: Kael DravonEight hundred wolves behind me and Sera to my left and the borderlands ahead of us and I thought that was the first time since the night of the shift ceremony that everything I needed was arranged exactly right and the only thing left to do was move.Kelvin appeared at my right shoulder with the tactical map and that focused expression he wore when something important was about to happen and he had already thought through every angle of it twice. "Columns are ready," he said. "Waiting on your signal.""Walk me through the final formation," I said."Left flank through the lower borderlands to cut the eastern supply lines," he said. "Right flank takes the ridge approach to block the retreat path. Center column goes directly through the main approach to the command structure. The moment we breach the outer perimeter the rogue force will have two options, fight on our terms or scatter, and we are positioned to make scattering impossible.""Sera," I said.Sh

    Chapter Fifty NinePOV: Sera AshwoodMordecai was already at the edge of the clearing when I arrived and I stopped at the center of it and looked at him and felt my wolf do that thing it had been doing since the first day he walked through my gate, that old cold recognition pointing at him like a compass needle that had finally found its north, and I was done managing it, done trying to understand it, done doing anything except letting it tell me what it had been trying to tell me since the beginning.Kael was standing at the eastern tree line.I had told him last night that I needed him in the clearing at dawn and I had not told him why and he had not asked and he had come anyway and he was standing right there at the edge of the trees with his arms at his sides and his wolf fully present and his face doing that thing it did now when he was trying very hard not to make something about himself that was not about him, and I thought that was possibly the most significant thing he had
