Rejected Luna: Royal blood Chapter 85
Rollins is on the outer wall when I find him.Not pacing. Standing the way he stands when the weight of command gets too large for a closed room, facing the tree line with his shoulders set and the mate bond running steady and deep between us the way it always runs when he is carrying something he has not yet decided how to put into words. I know the posture. I have long enough been reading it that I do not need the bond to have its meaning, though the bond will still tell me. It always does.I come up beside him. Do not touch him yet. Stand close enough that our shoulders are nearly level and look at the same tree line he is looking at.Down in the yard is silent below us. One torch on the eastern gate. Two guards at the western passage, their breath visible in the cold. The sky above the treeline is as black as the second hour, with no moon, such darkness as makes the keep seem to be smaller than it is and the world outside the wall seem bigger. The wind is off the tree line in low,

He tells me about the network first.Not about Lira. Not yet. He builds toward it the way a man builds toward a thing he has been carrying a long time and needs to set down carefully in the right order so that when it lands, it lands correctly and not just heavily.The keeper network has existed for forty years. Longer than Elder Marc has been at Ironclaw. Longer than Marcus has been Alpha of Shadowcrest. It began with three people who believed the Royal White Wolf line had not ended, who had reasons for that belief they could not prove and could not ignore, and who decided that if they were right, then what remained needed protecting before anyone else knew it existed. Three people who trusted the shape of a thing they could not yet see clearly and built a quiet structure around it anyway."Three people," I say."Three, at the start. Eleven now. Scattered across six territories." He looks at his hands on the table. "None of them Alphas. None of them in positions of obvious authority.

The east hold reeks of wet stone and old rushes.It always has. I had it the first time I ever visited this place, months ago, on other business, and I have it now. There are things that never change no matter what occurs in the air that they are in.Maren is sitting on the low bench against the far wall. Not huddled. Upright. She has long been held in custody, and the fear has long since settled down into something staler, and all that lies under it is a woman who has done a reckoning and who is about to bring forth its fruit.I can see her looking at me as I enter. Does not look away."Luna," she says."Maren."I take the stool across from her. The guard outside pulls the door to, not shut. I do not request him to seal it altogether. Whatever Maren tells me tonight, I want something within earshot.Her hands are clasped in her lap. She looks at them once, then back at me."There is something I have not said," she tells me."I know. Tell me."She does not hurry with it. I have found

He finds me before I can go looking for him.It is that which I continue to poke at afterward. I had been contemplating all morning how, as of a conversation you are dreading to have, to put it together, how to open it, and whether you should be soft or simply direct. I was inclined to be straightforward. I had been inclined to direct, just not knowing why, since four months before.He is standing in the east corridor as I come down from the war room. Standing in the position youths take when they have settled on doing something that will cost them everything and are now committed to it before they can think their way out of it. Back straight. Hands still. He is seventeen years old and appears about forty-five."I must tell you something," he says.I stop. "Alright.""I was not the spy used by Claus."The place is silent around us. One comes closing in on us at the far end and has no mind to pay us attention. I stare at him a long moment and have absolutely no emotion that catches fir
Rejected Luna: Royal blood Chapter 81
Before the third hour Marcus discovered me at the well.Not by accident. And he looked like a man who had reached some point in determining to come and had come to the end of deliberating on the matter. He made his way acutely quietly across the yard, as he always walked, and I kept an eye on him as he came, and it told me nothing because the first was in a certain action when he approached within ten paces of me, and I had learned it.On the other side of the well, he halted."I would like to speak to you," he said. "Without Rollins.""He is with Liam," said I. You have some time.Something dawned on his face. Not relief. The outcry of a man who had petitioned for a thing and obtained it and was now obliged to employ it.He gazed awhile at the well. Then at me."The letter," said he.You need not tell me about it."I know," he said. "I want to."I waited. The yard was moving around us, Ironclaw and Shadowcrest, and harkening to the business of the day that was going on; no one was ne

Emily’s POVIt was silent in the keep until the second bell.Not the delicate silence of olden days, when a step too firmly taken on the upper hall disturbed the calm. This was different. Settled. The stones themselves had breathed out.I became aware of it as soon as I opened the side door and got into the cold.The power did not go away. It had been there all the time, yet once it suddenly seemed that, like water under ice, it always pressed and always sought the crack. Now it didn't push. It lay in me like breath does, natural and easy and without comment, and I was in the courtyard and the dawn lingering grey at the margins, and I was contented to breathe.Integrated. It was what Rollins had whispered low in my hair, half-awakened, and then I escaped out of his arm.He wasn't wrong.The first wall I walked was the western wall. And my footsteps were only faint on frost-solid ground, and my breath only slow white curls, and I have allowed myself to go not too far, just this far eno

Rollins's POV The journey to the archives was longer than I anticipated, the path winding through dense forests and rugged terrain. The further we went, the more I realized just how isolated and remote this part of Alpha Marcus’s territory was. It was as if the archives were deliberately hidden away

Marcus glanced at Rollins, then back at me. “There are ancient texts, hidden in the old pack archives at my place. The answers you need might be in there.” Relief washed over me at the mention of answers, but a nagging doubt gnawed at the back of my mind. Why was Marcus helping me? Why hadn't he men

The following morning, I was at the training grounds with Liam, the training ground only for high ranked wolves, as Rollins had instructed. Liam was patient but relentless, pushing me to the limits of my abilities. Every punch, every kick, every maneuver was meant to bring me closer to controlling t

Emily's POV The morning air was crisp as I stood in the clearing, the sun barely peeking over the horizon. Liam was already there, waiting for me with his usual calm demeanor. Training had become a routine since I’d become Luna, and today, I was determined to push myself harder, to gain more control
