last update Last Updated: 2025-11-01 17:14:46

Ethan's POV

The holding cell was exactly what I expected; it was cold, dark, and designed to break an Alpha's spirit. There were Silver chains that burned when touched. The concrete walls were thick enough to muffle any sound.

They had thrown me in here after that disaster on the road, after Derek had shot me and his men had beaten me until I could barely stand. My leg hurt with every heartbeat; I was in so much pain. My ribs screamed with each breath; at least three of them were cracked or broken. My face was swollen, one eye nearly shut from the brutal beating.

But the physical pain was nothing compared to the rage burning inside me.

Jessie. They had taken Jessie.

I had seen the look on her face as Derek dragged her away, the terror and betrayal and desperate hope that somehow I would save her. And I had failed. I had been overpowered, outnumbered, and now I was locked in a cage while my mate was being prepared to marry the man who would eventually destroy her.

    Jessie's POV "Yes," I whispered, finally able to speak now that Beatrice had broken the silence for me. "Everything Beatrice said is true. Lisa is Stephanie Morgan, and Stephanie Morgan is Lisa. She has been manipulating everything. And now she has Ethan, and if I don't do what she wants tomorrow night during the eclipse, he dies."My father was silent for a long moment. Then he moved to his desk, opened a drawer, and pulled out his phone."What are you doing?" I asked."Calling the guards," he said, his voice was cold and controlled. "Having Lisa arrested and detained until we can figure out how to break her magic and get Ethan back.""No!" Both Beatrice and I shouted at the same time.My father paused, his finger was hovering over the phone. "Why not?""Because she will know the moment you make that call," Beatrice said urgently. "She has the entire pack house under magical surveillance. The moment you move against her, she will trigger the spell binding Ethan. He will die instantl

    Jessie's POVThe moment we were alone, my father pulled me into his arms. "Tell me what you can. Without names, without specifics. Just enough that I can help you."The binding spell eased slightly with Steven gone. One less person in the room meant one less person at risk if I spoke.I opened my mouth to speak, but before I could form the words, a voice cut through the room."Stop, Jessie."We both turned toward the door. It had opened silently, and standing in the doorway was Beatrice.My father went completely still. His arms dropped from around me, and for a moment, he stared."Beatrice?" His voice was barely a whisper, filled with shock and disbelief and something that sounded like hope. "Is that... is that really you?""Hello, Alpha," Beatrice said softly, stepping fully into the room and closing the door behind her. "It's been a long time."My father didn't respond with words. Instead, he moved, faster than I had ever seen him move, crossing the room in three long strides. He p

  • Rebirth Of A Broken Luna    Chapter 163: Lies Unraveling

    Jessie's POVI walked toward the bookshelf, my hand already reaching for the hidden mechanism. The library was calling to me, promising answers, promising power, promising a way to save Ethan.But just as the bookshelf swung open, revealing the darkness beyond, a sharp knock echoed through the chamber.I froze."Princess Jessie?" A guard's voice came through the door. "Your father requests your presence. Immediately."My heart sank. No. Not now. I didn't have time for this."Tell him I have retired for the night," I called back while trying to keep my voice steady. "I will see him in the morning."A pause. Then: "I am sorry, Princess, but I can't go back without you. The Alpha was very clear. He needs to see you now. He said it's urgent."Urgent.The word sent ice through my veins. Had something happened? Had Lisa done something to my father? Was this another one of Stephanie's games?I quickly pushed the bookshelf closed, making sure the lock clicked into place. The library would hav

  • Rebirth Of A Broken Luna    Chapter 162: The Final Countdown II

    Jessie's POV I made it to my mother's chamber and closed the door behind me, leaning against it as I tried to catch my breath. Every part of me hurts. My body from Ethan's attack, my heart from his absence, my soul from the weight of all these lies.I needed to get to the library. Needed to unlock those keys. Needed to..The door opened.I stumbled forward, caught off guard. When I turned, Lisa was standing there, that perfect omega submissiveness in her posture.But her eyes... her eyes were triumphant.Something inside me snapped.All the fear, the anger, the desperation, it all transformed into pure rage.I moved forward, towards her.My hand caught her throat, and I slammed her back against the wall with all the strength I had. My wolf surged forward, lending me power, and I felt my claws extend, pressing against her skin."Where is he?" I snarled, my face inches from hers. "Where is my mate?"Lisa's expression didn't change. She didn't fight back, didn't even flinch. Just smiled

  • Rebirth Of A Broken Luna    Chapter 161: The Final Countdown

    Jessie's POVThe portal deposited us just outside the Moonstone pack house, in the shadows near the garden where no one would see our arrival.I stumbled as my feet hit the ground; my injuries were making every movement painful. Beatrice steadied me with a hand on my arm."We are here," she said quietly. "Now remember what I told you. No one can know about Ethan being taken. Not yet.""I know." My voice was tight with a controlled emotion. "Come inside with me. Help me explain to my father.""No." Beatrice stepped back, shaking her head firmly. "I can't go in there, Jessie. I can't face your father.""Why not? He wanted to see you. He searched for you after my mother died.""Exactly." Her expression was painful. "I left immediately after Luna's death. Disappeared without a word, without explanation. How do I face him now? How do I explain that I abandoned the pack in their darkest hour? That I ran instead of staying to help protect you?""You were protecting yourself," I said. “My fa

  • Rebirth Of A Broken Luna    Chapter 160: Taken II

    Jessie's POV I made my way back to the car, moving more carefully now. My body was in bruises, and I was pretty sure I had cracked at least one rib. But it was gradually healing.The car was still dead. I tried the ignition multiple times, but nothing happened. Whatever spell had stopped it wasn't going to release it.I leaned against the hood, trying to think through the panic.Options: I could try to walk back to Ethan's pack. But that was hours away, and I was injured. I could try to walk to Moonstone, which was closer but still a significant distance. Or I could wait here and hope someone came along.None of those options helped Ethan.My wolf was in agony, feeling our mate's absence like a physical wound. The bond between us was still there; I could feel it. Which meant he was alive.But where? And for how long?I closed my eyes, reaching for that bond, trying to sense anything about where he might be or what was happening to him.Nothing. Just emptiness and distance."Think, J
