We ended up sitting in the living room, just breathing for a bit. The last few months had been… a lot. Attacks, lies, secrets, people dying, me becoming a full-blown Luna with magic and authority-learning my new powers, and then understanding how dangerous they can be. Ajax leaned back with a groan, tossing a cushion…

He quickly stood up, picking up the tub and carrying it into the washroom. I buried my face in a pillow, letting out a soft gasp. I wanted him. I wanted him terribly. I heard his footsteps return, and lowered the pillow to glance at him. A smile played on his lips as he approached,…

But it didn’t make the wait easier. After all, who knew how many more years I had with him? And then-out of nowhere-I heard her. A girl’s voice. Clear. Gentle. “The members of The Order are no longer bound by my previous command, the one I gave on the night of the Blood Moon…” I…

My partner shouted. But I couldn’t listen. I had to die. And then I heard it. “I take back what I said. The member of The Order are no longer bound by my command…” My fingers loosened. The knife clattered to the road. “You are all free now. Free from the curse, free from my…

Zane didn’t flinch. His voice stayed calm, but I knew him well enough to hear the weight behind it. “I’m serious.” She rolled her eyes. “Yeah, yeah. I got it, lover boy. “Touch her and die.’ Heard it before. Now sit down and try not to breathe too loud while I work.” Zane hesitated for…
