Marked By Midnight Chapter 70: The Witchling’s Cry
Lunessa's POV When I arrived at work that morning, another emergency had erupted, chaotic, unexplained, and urgent.No one could quite figure out the source of the patient’s collapse, but I stepped in calmly, scanning vitals, symptoms, reactions, and once again, I saved the day.I was slowly becoming the pack’s most trusted doctor. Sometimes, even before tests confirmed it, I already knew what was wrong. It wasn’t arrogance, it was instinct. A quiet certainty that whispered truths to me before machines or medicine ever could.It was a gift I hadn’t fully understood until now, perhaps it was the Kaerwyn bloodline awakening inside me, or maybe it came from carrying the children of a Lycan King. Whatever its source, I had no intention of wasting it.One evening, under the pull of the full moon, I found myself standing by the mirror, staring at the dull mark on my neck. The mating mark.Once, it pulsed, glowing like fire beneath my skin, but not since Velgrath, not since him. Now, it sat
Marked By Midnight Chapter 69: Questions Without Answers
Lunessa's POV When we got home and the last of their ice creams had melted away, I was in the bathroom running their bath when I heard a soft voice behind me."I'm sorry, Mother."I turned. Shaelith stood just outside the doorway, her small hands clasped nervously in front of her, her eyes glassy with guilt.My heart ached. I let the bucket slip gently to the floor and bent to her level, opening my arms. She rushed into them without hesitation, her tiny body trembling slightly as I held her close and stroked her hair."It's okay, baby," I whispered against her temple. "You were only trying to protect your sister, we’ll find better ways next time, together. I promise."Later, after their warm bath and soft towels, we gathered at the dining table for a quiet meal, their laughter returned little by little.In the lounge, I clipped their nails carefully, my hands steady even as my mind wandered back to the events of the day. I kissed Shaelith’s bruised finger before wrapping it in a sma
Marked By Midnight Chapter 68: Elegance Has Teeth
Lunessa's POVWe used the back gate and drove straight to the school after they calmed down. The girl’s father was already waiting in the principal’s office, while her mother remained back at the hospital. My uncle sat with the twins, their legs swinging in nervous silence on the bench.I entered the principal’s office, keeping my tone calm as I greeted her, then gave reports.“Nyra is in stable condition,” I reassured her. “The burns weren’t too deep. She’s conscious and will heal in no time.”The principal didn’t waste time.“What your daughter did is absolutely uncalled for,” she began. “We will address how she managed to do such a thing later, but right now, let’s focus on what this says about her morals.”‘Morals?’ Due snapped through the mindlink. ‘How dare she talk about morals when the other child struck first?’‘Easy, Due,’ I replied back. ‘Let me handle this.’The principal leaned forward, folding her hands like she was delivering a sermon. “What kind of child attacks her c
Marked By Midnight Chapter 67: In Defense Of Her Sister
Lunessa’s POVAfter the incident at the market, I didn’t wait for the whispers to catch up with us. That same evening, I told my uncle everything.The next morning, the woman showed up at our house, voice shrill and furious.“That evil child of yours wrecked my shop!” she screamed, her eyes wide with indignation. “I demand compensation!”The girls were inside. I stood outside with my uncle.He stepped forward with calm grace, hands clasped behind him. “I’m sorry for the unfortunate incident,” he said evenly.“You should be!” she snapped. “I need a new door! That demon child of yours…”His head tilted just slightly.“How dare you raise your voice at me?” His words were soft. Measured and deadly quiet.She froze.“You insulted the twins, called them names, refused to sell them what they wanted. Trapped my niece in your shop and still expected kindness in return?” His voice didn’t rise, but something in it coiled like a blade unsheathed.She stared at the ground, visibly shrinking under
Marked By Midnight Chapter 66: No One After Her
Azrik’s POVIt had been two years since Draven last dragged me to a club, and now, here he was again, standing in my office with that same irritating smirk.“I said I’m not going,” I muttered, not looking up from the reports in front of me.“Why?” he asked, leaning against the doorway. “Afraid that lady will pop up again and ask for another dance?”His words struck a chord I didn’t want to acknowledge.My pen stilled. The image flickered uninvited, the woman with dark hair, the way her eyes met mine. Her image had faded over time, but sometimes, sometimes it came back in dreams, clearer than I wanted.I shook my head and scoffed. “Are you serious right now?”Draven grinned. “Are you thinking about her again?”“Again?” I leaned back. “Please. I barely remember what she looks like.”“If you say so,” he said with a shrug, though his smirk didn’t falter. “Anyway, I didn’t come here to talk about your pathetic love life.”“Then get to the point.”Draven’s expression shifted slightly. He sa
Marked By Midnight Chapter 65: The Spark In Her Hands
Lunessa's POV I kicked against the idea of visiting Lucien. I headed straight to the school to pick up my children. If I was avoiding attachment, why start something I couldn't finish?Still, that night felt different. I tossed in bed, my thoughts circling back to Lucien, the way his eyes lingered too long, the questions he didn’t ask. I tried to shrug it off, but something about him clung to my mind like a forgotten scent.The next day was my day off. I kept myself busy, scrubbing floors that didn’t need scrubbing, folding clothes I’d already folded twice, anything to keep my hands full and my heart quiet.When I returned to work, his desk was empty No coffee waiting. Just absence, the kind that echoes. I didn’t ask questions. I didn’t need to.In the days that followed, I adjusted. I bought my own coffee on the way to work, learned how to make it just the way I liked. I built a routine, steady and solid. Life began to hum with a rhythm I could predict.I threw myself into my profe
