I walked in on time.

He was at his desk. Not the window. Sitting there with his hands loose in front of him and papers he was not reading and when I came through the door he looked up and there was nothing managed about the look. Nothing covered.

Just him looking at me the way he had been looking at me since last night and I felt it the way I always felt it now, low and warm and moving through me before I could do anything about it.

I sat across from him.

Neither of us touched the work papers.

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA   The Honest Conversation

    The honest conversation happened on a Saturday in December.Not planned the best honest conversations rarely were. They happened when the conditions became right and both people were present for the rightness and neither one flinched away from it.Viktor was at my mother's in Rome for the weekend. Luca had arranged it a trip with just the two of them, grandmother and grandson, the specific visit that Viktor had been requesting since September when he had decided his family history project required a Rome chapter.The twins were with Donna.The compound was quiet in the specific way it was quiet when its smallest and loudest inhabitants were elsewhere.Klaus had come at eleven.Not unusual now the specific ordinary that had developed over the weeks since the park and the dinner and the football drill and the school presentation. He came on Saturdays sometimes when Viktor was present for things Viktor had organised. He came occasionally when Viktor was elsewhere for conversations tha

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA   What Stays The Same

    April came.The work continued. The rhythm of the seventh year established and holding.I want to say something honest about this point in the story.The path had arrived somewhere significant. The network restored. The consultation running in its third form. The institution established and self sustaining. Adaeze's translation complete. The bond health patterns showing the direction. The coordination function documented. Nana's hall finding itself.The urgent building was done.The deepening work was ongoing.And the question that the seventh year was sitting with, not anxiously, just honestly, was what the deepening work looked like from the inside when it no longer required the urgency of construction.I was sitting in the hall on a Tuesday afternoon in April when Miriam came to find me.She rarely came to the hall in the afternoons. She was in the small study or at the board or on calls with archive contacts. The afternoon was her most concentrated work time.So when she came thro

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA   Spring Again

    Spring came to Blackwood territory in the seventh year.The seventh spring.I stood at the kitchen window on a Monday morning and watched the grounds doing what they did in March. The particular quality of light that meant the season had genuinely turned. The hall catching it in the upper windows. The territory exhaling into warmth after the winter.The work was the work.The ordinary days were the ordinary days.I want to say something true about where the story was in the seventh year's spring.Not a milestone. Not a significant moment. Just where it was.The institution was running. Charlotte coordinating. Twelve teachers teaching. The knowledge moving forward through the people who carried it toward people who would carry it after them.The consultations were in their third form. The joint sessions producing better governance decisions because the keeper vision was present in the room while the decisions were being made. Kweku managing the council's learning the way he managed eve

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA   March

    March came.The sixth quarterly consultation happened on a Wednesday in the third week.The new format. Joint sessions rather than presentation and response. Kweku had spent a month preparing the council members. I had spent a month preparing Efua and Kofi. Charlotte had updated the coordination documentation to reflect the changed format. Adaeze had noted in the translation that the oldest sections described something similar to what Kweku was proposing, the keeper representatives working alongside governance rather than reporting to it, and had added the relevant passage to the consultation materials.We drove to the central territory on a Tuesday evening. Staying the night so the Wednesday morning started without the fatigue of a four hour drive.The coordination hall at nine.Twelve council members. Five keeper representatives. Me. Efua. Kofi. Nana on the communication device from her territory because her specific knowledge of the bond health work there was relevant to two of the

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA   What February Brings

    February came.The territory cold and the work steady and the ordinary days doing what ordinary days did.Charlotte finished the documentation of the coordination function in the second week. She brought it to me on a Thursday morning. Twenty pages. Dense and specific. What the function was and how it differed from the center function and what abilities indicated someone might carry it and how to develop it through training.I read it over a day.Then I took it to Adaeze.She read it over two days.Then we sat in the small study together."She is precise," Adaeze said."Yes," I said."The distinction she draws between holding the whole and holding the connections is accurate," she said. "I could not have drawn it more clearly myself." She paused. "She understands her own function better than most people understand theirs.""She has been paying attention," I said."Yes," Adaeze said. "That is what she does." She paused. "The documentation goes in the charter alongside the center functi

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA   The New Year

    January came.The seventh year.I stood at the kitchen window on the first morning and looked at the grounds and the hall in the winter light and did not try to make the moment into anything. It was just a morning. The first of the year. The territory doing what territories did regardless of what the calendar said.The work continuing.That was the truest thing about the seventh year beginning. Not arrival at something. Continuation. The path going forward the way it had always gone forward. One step at a time. The next step visible when you were close enough.Dane came downstairs and made coffee and stood beside me at the window.We did not speak for a while."What does the seventh year need," he said eventually.I had been thinking about this since before the new year. Not anxiously. Just paying attention to what was present and what was still forming."The five remaining territory engagements fully formalised," I said. "Two of them are close." I paused. "The consultation relationsh

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA   The Session

    The round room was full.Not just the twelve council members. Additional seats had been brought in. Pack representatives from three territories. Legal advocates. Scribes for the official record. The particular density of a formal session that everyone understood was going to matter beyond the room.

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA   What Kweku Says

    The summons arrived Friday morning.Official council paper. Heavy seal. The kind of document that had weight in the physical sense as well as the procedural one. Dane brought it to the kitchen where I was eating breakfast with Nana and Charlotte and set it on the table without comment.I read it wh

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA   Crossing Home

    Nana slept for the first hour.Not the heavy medication sleep I suspected she was used to. Something lighter. The particular rest of a body that has been holding itself tightly for a very long time and has been given permission to release slightly.She was in the back seat between Adaeze and Kade.

  • THE ALPHA'S CURVY LUNA   When Mensah Finds Out

    We had forty minutes.Adaeze worked fast. Not rushing. Fast in the way of someone who understood exactly how much time they had and used every second of it properly. She gave Nana the first shielding technique. The breathing. The foundation. The one thing that could begin to give direction to somet
