XAVIER'S POV

The next morning, I woke to find Thelma missing from our tent.

The mate bond was still there, still strong, but it felt... distant. Muffled, like she was deliberately dampening it. I followed the thread of connection through the camp and into the forest beyond, where dawn light filtered through the trees in shafts of pale gold.

I found her sitting by a stream, her hands submerged in the water. But the water wasn't behaving normally. It was swirling around her fingers in impossible patterns, defying gravity, forming shapes that looked almost like writing in a language I didn't recognize.

"How long have you been able to do that?" I asked quietly.

She didn't startle. "Since yesterday. Right after the possession. I can feel things now, Xavier. Currents. Not just in water, but in... everything. Air. Earth. The space between moments. It's like my eighth life is opening doors inside me that were never meant to be opened."

I sat beside her, watching the water dance. "Is it painfu

  • His Historical Luna   Chapter fifty-eight: Memories

    XAVIER'S POV Kelvin looked like hell. Dark circles under his eyes. Clothes torn and dirty. Fresh cuts on his face and arms. But he was alive, and the desperate hope in his expression when he saw me made my chest tight. "Xavier." He took a step forward, then stopped, uncertain. "I know I have no right to be here. After what I did, what they made me do…" "Your sister," I said. "We know they were blackmailing you. We're planning a rescue." The relief that washed over his face was palpable. "She's alive? They told me she was alive, but I didn't know if I could believe them. If they were just…" "She's alive. And we're going to get her out." I gestured to the war room. "Come on. You can help us plan." "Xavier, I…" His voice cracked. "I attacked Thelma. I nearly killed her. How can you…" "You were being tortured. Blackmailed. They took away your choice." I gripped his shoulder. "What matters is what you do now. Will you help us take down what's left of their operation?" "Yes. God, y

  • His Historical Luna   Chapter fifty-seven: Dangerous Proximity

    THELMA'S POVThe war room, a generous term for what was essentially a converted storage space, buzzed with tactical discussions. Maps covered every surface. Clara and Elizabeth argued over troop formations. Marcus reviewed supply lists. Everyone was preparing for the worst.Everyone except Xavier, whose eyes kept finding me across the room.I tried to focus on the crystal's data streaming across the laptop screen. Names. Dates. Connections. Everything Matthias had died to give us. But I could feel Xavier's gaze like a physical touch, hot and insistent.When I finally looked up, his attention wasn't on my face.His eyes were fixed on my chest.Heat flooded through me. I glanced down and immediately understood why. The thin tank top I'd changed into after last night's chaos did absolutely nothing to hide the way my nipples had hardened under his stare. They pressed visibly against the fabric, two peaks that might as well have been screaming for his attention.I should have been embarras

  • His Historical Luna   Chapter fifty-six: Celebration And Consequences

    THELMA'S POV The safehouse was chaos. After the battle at Council headquarters, Marcus had evacuated everyone to a secure location, an old warehouse on the edge of the territory that had been converted into emergency housing. It wasn't pretty, but it was safe. And right now, safe was all that mattered. "Drink," Clara commanded, shoving a glass into my hand. I took it automatically. The liquid burned going down, whiskey, strong enough to strip paint. "What is this?" "Victory," she said, raising her own glass. "We exposed the Council corruption. Killed the man behind it. Freed the compelled guards. This is what winning looks like." Around us, pack members were doing exactly that, celebrating. Someone had found music. Someone else had found more alcohol. The tension of the past weeks was releasing all at once. Xavier sat in the corner, his arm in a makeshift sling, looking exhausted but alive. Meridith was checking his wounds while he tried to wave her off. "He needs re

  • His Historical Luna   Chapter fifty-five: After The Storm

    XAVIER'S POVThorne moved like liquid death.I barely blocked his first strike, claws scraping against my forearm hard enough to draw blood. He was faster than any Elder had a right to be, stronger than his aged appearance suggested."You fight well for someone about to die," Thorne said, circling me.I didn't waste breath responding. Every movement counted now. Every second mattered.He lunged again. I sidestepped, drove my elbow toward his ribs. He caught my arm, twisted, and suddenly I was airborne. I hit the platform hard enough to crack stone.Pain exploded through my back.Get up. Get up now.I rolled as his foot slammed down where my head had been. Swept his legs. He stumbled, just for a second, and I used that second to shift partially, claws extending, strength flooding my limbs."There it is," Thorne laughed. "The wolf they're all afraid of. Show me what makes you special, boy."I showed him my fist in his face.His head snapped back. Blood sprayed. But he was already recove

    "He's also behind your family's death. Behind Kelvin's betrayal. Behind Gina." Xavier's hand closed around the crystal. "Which means we're not leaving. Not yet.""Xavier….""Thelma, I've spent months protecting you by keeping secrets. By moving pieces quietly. By trying to build an unassailable case before revealing the truth." He looked at me, his eyes blazing. "But you died. In another life, you died because I wasn't fast enough, wasn't decisive enough. I won't make that mistake again."He stepped back onto the platform, his voice cutting through the chaos like a blade."Elder Thorne!" The room fell silent.Thorne turned slowly, his expression carefully neutral. But I could see it now—the way his eyes tracked everything, the predatory stillness beneath his elderly facade."Yes, Xavier?""Place your hand on the Truth Stone," Xavier said. "Answer one question. Just one. And if you're innocent, we'll apologize publicly and submit to whatever punishment you decree."Thorne smiled. "And

  • His Historical Luna   Chapter fifty-three: Memories In The Dark

    THELMA'S POVThe applause that erupted after Elder Matthias's confession felt distant, like hearing thunder from underwater. My hands were shaking as I watched Xavier remove his hand from the Truth Stone, his face pale but triumphant.He'd done it. He'd actually exposed them.But as pack leaders shouted questions and Council members scrambled to contain the chaos, something felt wrong. The world tilted slightly, and a sharp pain lanced through my temple.Not now. Please, not now."Thelma?" Xavier was beside me instantly, his hand on my arm. "What's wrong?""I'm fine, just…" The pain intensified, and suddenly I wasn't standing in Council headquarters anymore.I was somewhere else. Someone else.MEMORY FRAGMENT: BEFOREI was running through the forest, my father's pack lands burning behind me. Smoke choked the air. Screams echoed through the trees."Thelma, keep moving!" My mother's voice, desperate and fierce. "Don't look back!"But I did look back. I saw them, Council guards with silv
