THE TRUE LUNA IS A FATSO! Chapter 30 — Racing the Clock
Joss's POVI had been a healer for nineteen years.I had treated battlefield wounds and difficult births and illnesses that didn't have names in any text I'd ever read and one memorable occasion involving a warrior who had somehow managed to get three separate types of venom in his bloodstream simultaneously and had survived purely because his body had apparently decided that dying was less interesting than confusing me.I had never treated a Royal Wolf before.The mark on Bella's wrist was the most medically fascinating and most immediately terrifying thing I had encountered in nineteen years of practice, and those two qualities were in direct and constant conflict with each other every time I examined it.It was recovering.Slowly, unevenly, in the specific pattern of something that had been depleted past its natural recovery threshold and was rebuilding from reserves that had themselves been drawn down. The blackening was retreating from the outer edges of the symbol inward, which
THE TRUE LUNA IS A FATSO! Chapter 29 — Collapse
Zane's POVI found Tyla in the eastern service corridor.Not hiding. Not running. Standing in the middle of the corridor with her back against the wall and her arms loose at her sides and an expression on her face that I hadn't seen there before. Not the sharp calculated brightness she'd worn through months of courtship and ceremony preparation. Not the fury of the wedding night. Not even the cold performed ease of someone executing a plan.Something stripped back.Something that looked, underneath everything, genuinely exhausted.She was wearing the wedding gown. It was dirty at the hem and torn at the left shoulder and she was wearing it anyway, which told me something about the state of mind that had produced this particular visit more clearly than anything she'd said or done since arriving.The warriors flanking me had their hands on their weapons."Stand down," I said quietly. "She's not fighting."Tyla looked at the warriors and then at me and something crossed her face that I
THE TRUE LUNA IS A FATSO! Chapter 28 — Poisoned
Bella's POVI moved before the echo of Tyla's voice finished traveling down the corridor.Not running. Controlled. Fast but deliberate, the way Darian had been teaching me to move when something required urgency without the specific kind of blind speed that got people killed in enclosed spaces where threats could come from angles you hadn't assessed yet.Zane was a half step behind me and Wren a step behind him and by the time we reached the kitchen corridor there were four warriors flanking us from positions I hadn't seen them take because they'd taken them correctly.The kitchens were empty.Not empty like abandoned. Empty like cleared, the difference between a room nobody was in and a room everybody had just left. A pot was still steaming on the hearth. A half-chopped vegetable sat on the preparation block with the knife beside it. The morning's breakfast prep interrupted mid-motion, staff scattered by whatever had happened in here sixty seconds ago.The crash had been a serving tr
THE TRUE LUNA IS A FATSO! Chapter 27 — Tyla's Return
Wren's POVNobody slept that night either.The sealed cellar entrance had two warriors on it before the dust from our exit had settled, and by the time word reached Bram and his team the number had quietly doubled without anyone issuing a formal order, the specific organic response of trained wolves whose instincts had registered a threat in the ground beneath their feet and had decided independently that more bodies between that threat and everything above it was the correct reaction.I stood in the eastern courtyard in the early morning gray and pressed my hand against the back of my neck and listened.The presence in the tunnels had gone still the moment we sealed the entrance. Not gone. Still. The difference was significant in the way that the difference between a fire going out and a fire being banked was significant, one was absence and one was patience.Whatever was down there was patient.That told me something about who had put it there.Bella found me in the courtyard an hou
THE TRUE LUNA IS A FATSO! Chapter 26 — Preparing for War
Zane's POVI didn't sleep.I tried. I lay in the dark of my room for an hour and a half listening to the pack settle into its nighttime rhythm and running the same calculations over and over in the particular exhausting loop of a mind that understood it needed rest and had decided rest was less urgent than the problem currently occupying every available corner of it.Selene.Centuries old. Patient beyond anything pack military training had concepts for. Already inside our walls in ways we were still discovering. Targeting Bella specifically with the kind of sustained deliberate attention that made every tactical response I knew feel like bringing a sword to something that had already mapped every sword in the room and planned around all of them.I got up at four in the morning and went to my desk.The visitor records went back forty years, my father's meticulous habit of documenting every formal and informal contact with outside parties producing exactly the kind of detailed archive
THE TRUE LUNA IS A FATSO! Chapter 25 — Family Ties
Bella's POVThe assembly had taken everything I had.Not physically. Not the way healing took something, that specific draining quality of power moving through me and leaving a hollow behind. This was different. Standing in front of three hundred faces and telling them the truth, all of it, the network, the objects, the name that Elder Crest had confirmed with the particular heaviness of a man setting down something long carried, that had taken something from a different place. Somewhere closer to the center of me than the mark or the gift or any of it.The part that had spent three years being told it didn't matter.Standing in that courtyard and asking three hundred people to trust me with the truth of their fear had required me to trust them first with mine. That was the exchange. I understood it clearly. It didn't make it easy.Zane had stood beside me the entire time.Not in front of me. Not slightly behind me in the way that would have suggested he was managing me or covering f
