Moonbound to a Human Chapter 40: The Box Opens
SavannahThe study was dark except for the fire. And the box?It sat on Asher's desk exactly where I remembered it, small and carved and ordinary enough that it should not have been able to make the entire house tremble.But it wasn't ordinary now.Golden light seeped through the seems in the wood. The lid had just barely cracked open. A thin line of warmth spilled out across the desk, catching on papers, the ink bottle, the edge of Asher's abandoned coat.Cedar hit my nose next, followed by smoke and something soft beneath it. Lavender maybe. Asher went very still beside me. Mabel stopped at the doorway and did not come farther in.I glanced back."You're not coming?""No, hun.""Why?""Because that," she said, nodding toward the desk, "is not calling me."The warmth in my chest pulled again.My feet moved before I gave them permission to move.Asher stayed beside me, close enough that his shoulder brushed mine. I could feel the restraint in him. Every instinct wanted me to allow
Moonbound to a Human Chapter 39: What the Ashes Remember
SavannahFor one singular moment, I forgot how to be afraid.Asher's forehead rested against mine, his hands still framing my face, his thumbs warm against my cheeks where he brushed away my tears. The house hummed around us, low and deep, like something ancient had opened one eye and fouind me standing there.Me. Savannah Whitlock.Human Disaster.And now possible Luna.Apparently loved by one terrifying Alpha, tolerated by one terrifying healer, possibly loved by another terrifying Beta, and now chosen by one very dramatic magical box made out of grief and his mothers ashes. "My life has gotten weird...Fast..." I thought to myself. Asher's breath trembled against my lips as he kissed me, and that shook me more than the house did. H elooked overwhelmed in a way I had never seen before. He was just... Asher. The man beneath the command."My Luna..." he whispered, so quietly I almost thought I had imagined it. My heart squeezed hard enough to hurt.The house rumbled again. The meta
Moonbound to a Human Chapter 38: Ashes Chose Her
AsherThe house trembled. Not violently like we were under attack. This was different.Older.Deeper.The kind of tremor that moved through the stone because something beneath it finally remember how to breathe.The box. My mother's box.The thing that had laid silent on my desk for years like a paperweight carved with grief. A relic. A warning. A memory made solid from cedar shavings, resin, and ash.Her ash. And not it was awake.Excitement tore throughme so fast my breath was stolen. For a moment, I wasn't an Alpha. Not the man with enemies pressing in on all sides or a Bloodborn bleeding somewhere beyond the trees.I was a son. A son hearing his mother's voice in the only way she had left. She approved. Of Savannah.Of my choice.Of the human woman standing in Mabel's medical wing with one hand pressed to her chest lieks he could hold the glow inside herself by force. Dread soon followed though.Because approval wasn't protection.If the box truly had awakened for Savannah, th
Moonbound to a Human Chapter 37: Cedar and Ash
SavannahThe ward line pulsed once.Long.Deep.The sound wasn't really sound, I more felt it through the floor, through the metal legs of the medical bed, through the bones in my ankles.It rolled through the house like a giant exhale.Then everything went still.Not calm.Just... still. Like the house had stopped breathing to listen.Asher's head snapped toward the door.Mable froze with one hand resting on the edge of the counter, her fingers curled against the wood. For once, she didn't bark an order or insult someone's intelligence. She just stared toward the hall, eyes narrowing, face drawn tight. Asher turned and looked at her. And she back at him. Then shrugged.A tiny, useless little shrug that made me want to throw something. I stared between them."Soooooo.... what was that?"Asher didn't answer right away.Which, by this point, I had learned usually meant that the answer was either bad, complicated, or something he thought I couldn't handle. My patience was starting to
Moonbound to a Human Chapter 36: Red Blood, Black Snow
RowanWhen my knee hit the wet ground, the second vampire flew over me, thrown my Caius's full weight, its body crashing into Valtheris before either of them could react.He caught the thing by the shoulder and shoved it away with disgust.Caius skidded to a stop near me, tawny fur streaked with black blood, one ear torn, teeth bared in a grin only a wolf could manage."Having fun?" I said, glancing his direction."I deeply regret having a big breakfast this morning. But yes." He huffed through the link."Good."The vampire scrambled upright again, half its face hanging loose from Cauis's bite. Valtheris wiped blood from his cheek with two fingers, then looked at the red smear as if it fascinated him."You two are more entertaining than expected." He rasped.I rolled my shoulders, grunting and ignoring the ache spreading through my back."Yeah? And you talk more than expected."Caius gave a low approving growl.The Bloodborn looked between us. The amusement in his face began to fade i
Moonbound to a Human Chapter 35: Fear in the Snow
RowanValtheris laughed and when he did, something cold slid through me. Cold enough to become calm.The vampire shrieked in front of me, rotten chest split and spilling into the pristine snow. Black blood pooling hot and foul by its feet. It staggered backward, hands clawing uselessly at the ruin I made of it. I didn't give it time to recover. Grim surged beneath my skin, not separate from me but through me. Bone-deep. Breath-deep, all teeth and instinct. I caught the vampire by the throat. Its dead eyes widened."You messed with the wrong house." I growled.I drove my claws from my opposite hand up beneath its jaw and tore. The thing came apart with a cracking, wet sound that echoed through the clearing. Black blood sprayed across the snow and steamed where it hit, eating tiny pits into the frost. The vampire's body hit the ground in two heavy pieces, twitching once before going still. Fast,Messy.Finished.Caius made a choking some somewhere to my left."Well that was-"The se
