Thalia’s Unbecoming: From Killer To Cancer Luna 72
THALIAShe reads the contingency archive section herself the moment Rael brings it to her, sitting at the table with Heloise on one side of her and Rael on the other and the afternoon sliding by unnoticed outside the window.Her mother's handwriting is everywhere across it. That careful, deliberate scholar's script she has learned to recognise across three days of reading, every letter formed the way a person forms letters when they expect someone, someday, to need to trust every word of it completely.The section is dense. Her mother had never written a contingency plan casually in her life, she wrote them the way she wrote everything, thoroughly, with sourced evidence attached to every claim she made. The external review mechanism and its full history. The three specific scenarios under which a restored legal standing could be challenged from outside. And then, near the very end, the paragraph that makes Thalia stop reading entirely, that makes her set her hand flat against the page
Thalia’s Unbecoming: From Killer To Cancer Luna 71
RAELThe report was waiting on his desk at seven in the morning, which told him everything before he had even read a line of it. Talos never left paper on that desk overnight unless the contents needed to be seen the moment Rael's eyes opened, and that meant the contact had been made the previous evening and Talos had simply been standing in the corridor outside, waiting for the sound of movement in the room before he would allow himself to sleep.Rael read it standing up. He always read the important ones standing up, the way his body seemed to understand before his mind fully caught up that sitting down was a luxury reserved for information that could wait.Iron Ridge.The largest pack in the eastern territories, three hundred wolves strong, historically neutral in every internal dispute the Great North had ever weathered. Their Alpha was a woman named Breca who had been running that pack for forty years, and the thing everyone said about Breca, the thing that had followed her name
Thalia’s Unbecoming: From Killer To Cancer Luna 70
The practice courtyard was Elodie’s idea, and I had agreed to it because the waking was real, ongoing, and unmanaged. And unmanaged things, I was learning, had a nasty tendency to manage you instead.Elodie had chosen the inner practice courtyard—a small, enclosed space away from the pack's main thoroughfares, with high stone walls on all four sides and the sacred flame basin relocated to the center for our session. Nara was there with a notebook, which was Nara’s default equipment for any event she attended, her pen already poised to document my potential catastrophe. Constance was there too, though nobody had specifically invited her. She had brought a fire bucket and a damp cloth and set them just inside the courtyard door with the practical, dry expression of a woman who had decided that preparedness was a significantly more useful virtue than optimism.I stood at the edge of the circle Elodie had marked on the ground, the stone beneath my boots humming with a faint, rhythmic puls

Afterward, I sat up with my back against the headboard and he lay with his arm across my lap. The morning light was fully in the room and neither of us was in any particular hurry.I read one of the archive pages Heloise had given me the previous evening, holding it in both hands, while he looked at the ceiling with the distant quality of a man running through something in his head. The room was quiet, save for the crackle of the embers in the hearth. The archive page felt heavy in my hands, a tangible piece of the history I was currently dismantling."She documented the swearing ground," I said, without looking up."The mountains?" he asked, his voice low."Yes. She mapped the route. She had sketches of the stones." I turned the page. "She had been there."He sat up slightly, his attention narrowing. "Your mother went to the swearing ground.""Eleven years before I was born," I said. "She went alone. She describes what she felt when she got there." I was quiet for a moment, letting t

THALIA's povThalia-The morning air was crisp, biting at the edges of the chamber where the stone met the high, arched windows, but under the heavy, tangled layers of wolf-furs, the world was pure, unadulterated heat. We moved with the languid, unhurried pace of two people who had finally stopped running from the horizon, stopped treating every dawn as an impending execution. For the first time since I had been dragged into his court, there was no urgency to prove anything, no tactical maneuver to plan, no venomous politics to survive. There was only the slow, deep exploration of belonging—a quiet, heavy truth that settled between us like iron turned to liquid fire.I traced the broad lines of his shoulders, my fingers cataloging the scarred geography of his past. It was a map of every brutal battle he’d ever fought to keep his crown, every jagged wound he’d carried through three centuries of isolation. I felt him shudder under my touch, a low, tectonic vibration that rippled through
Thalia’s Unbecoming: From Killer To Cancer Luna 68
RAEL'S POVI came to her door at nine in the evening, and for the first time in three centuries, I walked slowly without a destination fueled by duty. Every other time, my stride had been driven by the heavy, iron-clad requirements of a king—the need for information, the management of a territorial breach, or the calculated extraction of a secret. But tonight, the corridors of the compound were quiet, the air cooling with the mountain night, and I had left my study not because I had a mandate to fulfill, but because the space in my chest felt hollow and cold whenever I was away from her.I knocked. The sound was a sharp, final punctuation against the wood.When she opened the door, the first thing I saw was the way she looked at me—her posture, usually guarded and ready for a parry, softened. She held a leather-bound journal against her chest like a shield, but her eyes, those infinite, void-deep eyes, were soft. She was mine. The realization hit me with the force of a landslide, a p

Thalia's POVLater that evening...The steam from the bathwater curled around my skin like a thick, heavy blanket, and I kept my eyes closed for a long time, drifting in the quiet heat while I tried to force my heart to slow down, because the silence of the tower was the only peace I had known sinc

THALIA’S POVMy heart squeezed painfully in my chest, and I felt like a bird trapped in a cage made of my own ribs as I stuttered, “I… you, sir—”His gaze didn’t falter for a single second. He stood there looking like a god of war, tall and terrifying, while he growled, “I won’t repeat myself anymor

RAEL’S POV“Witchcraft?” She stuttered, her face going pale instantly, before she started coughing and awkwardly swallowing her saliva.“Pardon?”I stepped back, the movement sharp and predatory. I refused to meet her gaze again; those gold eyes were too bright, too haunting for a killer. Don’t get
Thalia’s Unbecoming: From Killer To Cancer Luna 1
THALIA’S POVThey say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but in the Great North, if you don’t judge a wolf by its eyes, you’re already a corpse. I suppose the werewolf hierarchy is a real eye-opener, though for someone like me, the view is usually from the bottom of a shallow grave.This was
