Chapter Nineteen — The Symptom Match

Nova's POV

I hit my father's room at a dead run and stopped hard in the doorway, because for one terrible half-second the scene in front of me was exactly the scene I'd left behind in a different hospital, in a different life — the monitor's alarm cutting through the air in that specific rhythm that means now, not soon, Ansel's hands moving fast and precise, a nurse calling numbers in a voice pitched too controlled to be anything but terrified underneath it.

  • MOONLIGHT REBORN   The Face in the Crowd

    Chapter Forty — The Face in the CrowdNova's POVI asked Dominic to walk me through that day again, every second of it, because memory is a strange, unreliable thing, and I needed to know exactly how close Corvin had actually stood to us before I trusted my own recollection of it."I was in conversation with two Council officials," Dominic said, sitting across from me in the war room, his face set in the particular concentration of a man reconstructing something he now understood mattered far more than he'd realized at the time. "One of them was senior — a genuine regional liaison I'd dealt with before, someone I could vouch for. The other was younger. Quieter. I assumed he was an aide, there to take notes, the way senior officials often bring someone along to handle logistics.""Did he speak," I asked.Dominic thought hard, his jaw tightening as the memory sharpened. "Once. Briefly. He said something about the weather turning, small talk, nothing that seemed worth remembering at the

  • MOONLIGHT REBORN   The Third Name

    Chapter Thirty-Nine — The Third NameNova's POV"Mira." I kept my voice low, steady, even as every instinct in me screamed to demand an answer immediately. "You recognize that name."She didn't answer right away, her eyes still fixed on Sable, who had slumped back against the pillows between contractions, exhausted, unaware of what she'd just let slip in front of a room full of witnesses."Later," Mira said, quiet, controlled. "Let them finish. She needs to get through this first."I made myself wait. It cost me more than I expected, standing in that room for the next forty minutes while a woman I had every reason to despise labored through an early, frightened birth, but I understood, watching her, that whatever answers waited on the other side of this weren't going anywhere, and that a child arriving weeks early deserved every ounce of focus the room could give it regardless of what its mother had done.The baby came just past two in the morning — small, but breathing steadily, a th

  • MOONLIGHT REBORN   Framed or Loyal

    Chapter Thirty-Eight — Framed or LoyalNova's POVThe assassin didn't survive interrogation long enough to give us anything useful — not because anyone killed him, but because whatever poison had been embedded beneath a false tooth activated the moment Reid's people confirmed his identity through Red Moon's own personnel database, a fail-safe so precise it told me everything I needed to know about the caliber of whoever had actually planned this."Real insignia," Reid said, standing over the body an hour later, his voice carrying none of the relief the confirmed identity should have brought. "Real personnel file. Real service record with Red Moon, going back six years, no red flags anywhere in it until tonight.""But," I said, because I could hear the word waiting in his tone."But the jacket's stitching is wrong," Reid said, holding up the torn fabric for me to see. "Red Moon's formal insignia is machine-embroidered, standardized, identical across every uniform they issue. This is ha

  • MOONLIGHT REBORN   Red Moon's Secret

    Chapter Thirty-Seven — Red Moon's SecretNova's POVI brought the ledgers to the next multi-pack summit myself, rather than handling it quietly through Council channels, because I'd learned by now that quiet handling only ever bought Grigor's network more time to bury whatever needed burying.The summit had been called to formalize the coalition's war planning ahead of the blood moon countdown, representatives from every allied pack gathered again in Moonlight's great hall, and Alpha Dorian of Red Moon sat near the center of the assembled table with the easy, entitled posture of a man who had clearly never once expected to be publicly examined for anything.I let the strategic discussion run its course first — supply logistics, warrior commitments, intelligence-sharing protocols — because I understood, by now, exactly how much more damage a reveal did when it landed in the middle of ordinary business rather than as its own separate spectacle."Before we close," I said, once the logist

  • MOONLIGHT REBORN   Elena later

    Chapter Thirty-Six — Elena's LetterNova's POV"It never reached you," I said, once I'd managed to steady my breathing enough to speak again. "Twenty years, sealed in a vault nobody knew existed. She wrote it believing it would find its way to your family, and instead it sat here, untouched, while your father kept a promise for a woman he never knew had begged him to keep it in the first place.""He kept it anyway," Dominic said quietly, still holding the letter with a reverence that made something in my chest ache. "Without ever knowing this existed. I've spent seventeen years believing my father honored a paper contract out of stubborn principle. I understand now he honored something closer to an unspoken debt neither of us knew we owed."I read the letter again, slower this time, searching every line for anything I'd missed in the first shocked pass through it.I am alive, for now. I do not know for how much longer.I write to you instead, because I understand my daughter was promi

  • MOONLIGHT REBORN   The Hidden Vault

    Chapter Thirty-Five — The Hidden VaultNova's POVThe seal gave way not to force, but to blood.Reid's warriors had tried every mechanical approach they could think of — levers, careful chiseling along the seam, even a controlled application of heat that did nothing but scorch the ancient stone without budging it an inch. It was Reid himself who finally noticed the small, worn depression at the center of the carved sigil, shaped unmistakably like a palm."Try it," he said, stepping back.I pressed my hand against the depression, and felt a sharp, brief sting as something inside the mechanism drew blood without ceremony, without asking permission — a single drop, and the ancient door groaned open on hinges that had waited two decades for exactly that key.Inside, the air was cold and impossibly dry, untouched by twenty years of seasons passing outside its seal. Shelves lined the small chamber, and on them, carefully preserved, sat rows of sealed jars, notebooks bound in cracked leather
