The room had never felt like hers.

Myla stood in the centre of it for the last time, hands loose at her sides, bags packed neatly by the door. She waited for something to move inside her. Grief. Relief. Fear. Anything.

Nothing came.

She wasn’t surprised. Bloodstone Ridge had given her shelter, training, a name to carry into the world. It had never given her a home. You couldn’t mourn something you’d never truly had.

A knock at the door. Soft. Deliberate.

She already knew who it was.

“Come in.”

Alpha Darius filled the doorway the way he always did, like the space was never quite big enough for him. He was a tall man, broad through the shoulders, with silver threading through dark hair and eyes that had always reminded Myla of cold stone. Tonight those eyes were warm. Carefully, precisely warm.

“I wanted to see you before tomorrow,” he said.

“I figured.”

“You’ve grown into exactly what this pack needed you to be, Myla.” He stepped inside, surveyed the bare walls and empty shelves, and smiled. The smile of a man proud of something he had built.

What this pack needed. Not what she needed. Not who she was.

She smiled back anyway. “Thank you, Alpha.”

He crossed to where she stood and placed a heavy hand on her shoulder. Paternal. Practiced. The kind of touch she had grown up believing was warmth.

“Crimson River is a powerful pack. Alec is a strong Alpha.” His thumb pressed slightly, just once. “Remember who you represent when you’re among them.”

“I will.”

“And Myla.” His eyes held hers a beat longer than necessary. “Don’t let your wolf get ahead of you.”

Something about those words snagged on a quiet part of her. She filed them away behind her ribs, where she kept everything she didn’t have answers for yet.

“Goodnight, Alpha.”

When the door closed she stood very still and listened to his footsteps fade down the corridor. She stayed like that longer than she needed to, her eyes on the dark line beneath the door until she was certain he was gone.

Her wolf, usually so quiet and so obedient, pressed briefly against the inside of her chest. Once. Like something restless turning over in sleep.

Not now, she told it silently.

It settled. It always settled.

Myla turned off the light and crossed to the bed, moving through the dark the way she always moved. Certain. Quiet. Alone. She had made her peace with tomorrow weeks ago. A contract was a contract. Alec of Crimson River needed a Luna. She needed a fresh start. There was nothing complicated about that.

She was almost to the bed when she stopped.

Something was on the pillow.

Something she hadn’t placed there. Something that hadn’t been there when she’d packed that morning.

She reached for it slowly.

A small token, carved from dark wood worn smooth with age. Threaded through the centre of it was a single cord.

Red. Deep and unmistakable.

Myla turned it over in her fingers. Her wolf went absolutely still.

She didn’t know what it meant. She didn’t know who had placed it there or why. She didn’t know why the sight of that small red cord made something pull tight deep inside her chest, like a thread being drawn toward something just out of reach.

She set it on the nightstand, lay down in the dark, and stared at the ceiling until sleep finally came.

In the morning, when she walked out of Bloodstone Ridge for the last time, she left the token behind.

She would spend a long time wishing she hadn’t.

  • Twin Alphas' Rare Luna    Chapter Twenty Nine: What the Old Ways Knew

    MylaShe found Elder Cora in the eastern garden.The old woman was the oldest member of the Crimson River pack and the one most likely to be found outside regardless of the weather, moving between her plants with the unhurried attention of someone who had learned long ago that most things worth knowing could not be rushed. She had been the first pack member to go still when all three of them walked through the eastern gate. She had not said anything then. She had simply watched with amber eyes that held something Myla had filed away and not yet returned to.She returned to it now.Myla sat on the low stone bench beside the elder's herb beds and watched her work for a moment before speaking."You know what I am," she said.Elder Cora did not look up from what she was doing. "I suspected from the first day you arrived. The way the pack responded to you. The way the air changed when you walked into a room." She moved to the next plant. "When you came back through the gate with both of th

  • Twin Alphas' Rare Luna    Chapter Twenty Eight: What Brothers Carry

    SebastianHe saw it when they came back from the training ground.He was in the corridor outside the main hall when they came through the eastern entrance together, not quite side by side, a careful distance between them that was somehow more charged than closeness would have been, and something in the quality of the air around them was different from any of the times he had watched them come back from training before.Something had happened.Not happened in the sense he spent a half second bracing himself against. Nothing that excluded him or announced itself as a door closing. Something more subtle than that. A shift in the particular tension that had lived between those two since the ceremony hall, some of it resolved, some of it deepened, and the combination of the two was visible in the way Myla was not quite meeting anyone's eyes and the way Alec's composure had a different quality to it than usual.More present. Less managed.Seb watched them move separately through the morning

  • Twin Alphas' Rare Luna    Chapter Twenty Seven: Closer

    MylaShe went to the training ground before dawn.Not because she had planned to. Because the conversation in the library had left something restless in her chest that sleep was not going to fix, and movement was the only thing that had ever worked when her mind refused to settle.The grounds were empty at this hour. The sky was the particular dark blue of very early morning, not night and not yet dawn, the colour that existed in the narrow space between one thing and another. She understood that colour differently now than she had a month ago.She was in the narrow space between things herself.She worked through her warm-up with the focused attention she brought to it, her body falling into the sequences she had practised ten thousand times in the dark at Bloodstone Ridge. Her wolf was present but calm. Not the insistent pressing of the weeks before the forest. Something more settled than that. As if it had made a decision and was simply waiting for her to catch up.She heard him be

  • Twin Alphas' Rare Luna    Chapter Twenty Six: The Letter

    AlecThe message arrived on a Wednesday morning, delivered through official pack channels the way all formal inter-pack communications arrived, sealed and stamped with the Bloodstone Ridge mark.Alec recognised the seal before he opened it.He sat at his desk in the early quiet of the office and looked at it for a moment. His beta had placed it on top of the morning's correspondence without comment, which meant either he had not looked closely enough to recognise the origin or he had looked closely enough to know not to ask questions about it.Alec picked it up and opened it.The letter was three paragraphs. Formal language, the kind that communicated everything through implication rather than statement. Darius extended his continued goodwill to the Crimson River pack. He noted that some weeks had passed since the Luna's departure from Bloodstone Ridge and that he had heard no word of her welfare. He proposed, in the interest of maintaining the alliance between their packs, a brief vis

  • Twin Alphas' Rare Luna    Chapter Twenty Five: What the Pack Feels

    SebastianThe pack knew something had changed before anyone said a word.Seb watched it happen from the entrance hall as the three of them came through the main doors that morning. The wolves nearest the entrance went still first, the instinctive pause of animals whose senses are more reliable than their reasoning, heads lifting, attention sharpening. Then the stillness spread outward, quiet and rippling, until half the pack members in the ground floor corridor had stopped what they were doing and were simply watching.Not with hostility. Not with confusion.With recognition.He had seen the pack respond to Myla over the past weeks. The particular way dominant wolves went quiet in her presence, the way pack member

  • Twin Alphas' Rare Luna    Chapter Twenty Four: The Walk Back

    MylaThe forest felt different on the return.Not the trees or the light or the cold air moving between the trunks. Those were the same. She was different. Walking back through the same ground she had run through hours ago in the dark, she could feel the difference in her own body, in the way her feet met the earth and the way her wolf moved inside her, not pressing and insistent but simply present, steady, settled in a way it had never been settled before.They walked on either side of her.Not close enough to touch. Just present. One on each side, moving through the old forest with the quiet economy of wolves who knew where they were going, and the awareness she had always had of their locations was not the low anxious tracking of the past weeks. It was somethi
