TOO FAT TO BE LUNA CHAPTER 87
ARIA'S POV Dr. Chen arrived within the hour with a team of six and the specific composed urgency of someone who had heard twenty Royal Wolves, basement, years of captivity and had spent the drive mentally preparing for every version of what that could mean. What it meant exceeded most of her preparation. She moved through the cells with the careful unhurried efficiency that I had learned, over months, was her actual speed when speed alone wasn't the priority — the specific pace of someone who understood that trauma required a different clock than physical injury, that rushing a person who had spent years learning that sudden movement meant danger would undo as much as it fixed. "No restraints," she said quietly to her team, before they'd opened the first cell. "No sudden approach. Let them come to the door if they're willing. If they're not, we wait." We waited. It took longer than I expected. The woman in the first cell — gold-eyed, the one who hadn't moved toward the door whe
TOO FAT TO BE LUNA CHAPTER 86
KAEL'S POVThaddeus died on a Tuesday.By Thursday we had interrogated every captured Purity Pack member in our holding facility. By the following Monday we had our first confirmed cell location. By the end of the first week we had seven.Aria conducted the interrogations herself.I had offered to take them — had made the case, practically, that she was still recovering, that the bond push during the duel had cost her reserves she hadn't fully rebuilt, that there were other ways to extract the information that didn't require her to be present for every session.She had listened to the entire argument.Then she had walked into the first interrogation room and sat down across from the prisoner and looked at him with the specific quality of someone who has run out of patience for the distance between where things are and where they need to be."Where are the cells," she said.The Royal command underneath it — not the full weight, not the forced compliance she was capable of. Something mo
TOO FAT TO BE LUNA CHAPTER 85
ARIA'S POVThe blade came down.I didn't think.The bond was already open — had been open the entire fight, running between us with the sustained attentiveness of someone who had decided that the connection was the one useful thing available to her and had kept it fully present for forty-one minutes while everything else in her was occupied with watching and mapping and waiting.I pushed everything through it.Not Royal command — not the directed authoritative weight of it aimed at another person. Something prior to that. The power itself, undirected, the full reserves of a Royal Wolf bloodline that had spent years suppressed and had been building since the suppression broke, channeled through the mate bond the way you push everything you have through the one open door.Everything.All of it.I felt it leave me — not like bleeding, like exhaling. The specific sensation of releasing something you've been holding with both hands and trusting what's on the other end to catch it.---KAEL
TOO FAT TO BE LUNA CHAPTER 84
ARIA'S POV We left before dawn. The neutral territory was three hours east — open ground that belonged to no pack, the kind of land that existed in the spaces between territories and was used, by ancient custom, for exactly this. Disputes that required witnesses. Decisions that required the weight of collective observation to make them binding. Marcus drove. Elena beside him. Kael and I in the back with the specific quiet of two people who had said everything that needed saying the night before and had nothing left to add. I held his hand for the first hour. Then I let go, because holding on felt like the wrong energy for what the next several hours required, and Kael understood without me explaining it. He turned his hand over briefly — acknowledgment — and then we sat beside each other in the dark and watched the territory give way to the spaces between territories and didn't speak. The twins were with Dr. Chen. East wing. Single door. Full rotation. Morgana present, which I
TOO FAT TO BE LUNA CHAPTER 83
ARIA'S POV The full moon was fourteen days away. Kael started training the morning after he sent the acceptance. Not with the measured discipline of someone building toward a peak — with the specific obsessive quality of someone who has assessed the gap between where they are and where they need to be and decided that the only variable they can control is the work they put between now and then. He was in the training ground before dawn. He was there when I went to bed. In between, he ate what Marcus put in front of him and reviewed what Morgana brought him and slept in the hours Dr. Chen specified as the minimum required for muscle recovery, with the compliance of someone who understood that sleep was not rest but maintenance and maintenance was part of the work. I watched him from the window the first morning. The way he moved through forms I didn't have names for — old forms, the specific vocabulary of someone who had been training for three centuries and had long since pas
TOO FAT TO BE LUNA CHAPTER 82
ARIA'S POVWe took prisoners.Eleven of them — wounded, contained, held in the secured lower level of the mansion that Kael had converted to a holding facility in the second week of preparations. Marcus had overseen the conversions with the thoroughness he brought to everything, which meant the facility was exactly what it needed to be and nothing about it was improvised.The battle had lasted four hours.At the end of them, the Purity Pack had retreated — not routed, not destroyed. Retreated. The organized withdrawal of a force that had achieved what it came to achieve and was now executing the next phase of a plan that clearly extended well beyond a single night.Thirty-one of our warriors injured.Six dead.I knew all six names before Marcus finished the report. Had learned them over three months of integration — their faces, their pack origins, their specific capabilities. The particular person each of them had been.I sat with that for a long time before I allowed anything else t

TOO FAT TO BE LUNA CHAPTER 34
KAEL’S POV The war room ran for fourteen hours straight. Maps on every surface. Pack strength assessments, territory schematics, the particular mathematics of defending ground against an enemy that didn’t operate by ground rules. Marcus had the attack vectors modeled within the first two hours —

DR. CHEN’S POVAria woke up forty-seven minutes after collapsing.Not gradually — not the slow surfacing of someone recovering from a medical event. One moment unconscious, the next sitting upright on the medical wing table with the focused expression of someone whose body had just done something w

SOPHIE’S POVI had been in this pack for eight months.Long enough to learn everyone’s names, their habits, their preferences. Long enough to become unremarkable — Sophie from the northern border, transferred after a territorial dispute, competent and quiet and forgettable in the specific way that
