TOO FAT TO BE LUNA CHAPTER 88
ARIA'S POVI left them alone.Not immediately — I stayed long enough that leaving didn't feel like abandonment, long enough to establish that the room contained a doctor's presence and a guard rotation and everything that twenty minutes of quiet conversation with Dr. Chen had determined Sera needed for the next several hours.Then I found a reason to be needed elsewhere.It wasn't difficult. The compound's aftermath generated reasons continuously — records to catalogue, prisoners to process, allied pack communications to manage, the hundred logistical demands of three months of systematic operations reaching their conclusion simultaneously. I moved through all of it with the focused efficiency of someone who was grateful, specifically, for the existence of tasks that required her complete attention.Marcus found me two hours later in the records room.He looked at my face and didn't ask.That was Marcus. He assessed and filed and adjusted his approach accordingly, which in this case m
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 45
ARIA’S POVThe celebration didn’t happen.There was a moment — brief, the length of a breath — when the courtyard’s tension shifted and the Crescent Moon pack members watching from the edges began to move toward something that might have become relief. The threat gone, the ritual broken, Vivian and
TOO FAT TO BE LUNA CHAPTER 44
VIVIAN’S POVWe arrived in the ritual room.My ritual room — not the one at Crescent Moon, which had been compromised months ago, but the original. The one I’d built when Celeste was eight years old and I’d first understood what she was and what she would need. Stone walls, twenty-three candles, th
TOO FAT TO BE LUNA CHAPTER 38
ARIA’S POV“PLEASE—”The word dissolved before it finished.Not because the pain stopped.Because something else started.Vivian’s working hit the original curse the way she’d designed it to — finding the architecture she’d built twenty-three years ago, feeding it power from outside while it pulled
TOO FAT TO BE LUNA CHAPTER 35
DEREK’S POVI’d stopped counting days.The dungeon had its forty-seven ceiling stones and its thirty-two wall stones and the cold that lived in the floor regardless of the season. I had the two daily water deliveries and the absence of food that had progressed from hunger to a dull, constant weight
